tips for amber deck?

[steveniscool]

yeap kinda new to shadow era and I'm just looking for help/tips in making a new amber deck. ever since i played shadow era i only used eladwen and thought about using a different deck(cuz more decks are being built to counter people who spam with eladwen like me). and looking around the forum it seems that i can make a very strong deck with amber/warriors but i just want to get tips first before buying the card pack thing lol. anyways is this a good deck?....
4 kris
4 puwen
3aldon
4 jasmine
2 sandworm

4 blood frenzy
2crippling blow
2 smashing blow
3 enrage
4 jewelers dream
3 rusty longsword
2misplaced
2 retreat
2 war banner
4 dual wield
and of course 1 amber rain...
should i add remove any cards? because isn't 40 cards the best amount? and also which is better brigitte or kris? help pls! thanks!

2 enrage should be enough. Reduce the # of dual wield, 4 is too much.

Better add some bad santas to get out blood frenzy quicker

My Amber deck is similar, try these changes and see how it plays for you:

- 1 enrage
- 2 jewelers dream
- 2 dual wield

+ 1 Rusty sword
+ 2 crippling blow
+ 2 bridgette

If you go second and drop a T3 Rusty Sword you are doing good. Bridgette is not better or worse than Kris, I run both in my deck. 4 Crippling Blows will really piss your opponent off, if you drop a couple by T2 - T4 you are helping yourself take board control. Usually.

My Amber deck has gotten me to Rating 286. I can beat Eladwen, Logan, DC, and Boris as long as I dont have bad luck draws early. Not pulling BF early kills me against most high level decks except Eladwen, who I usually assume will drop a Bazaar on the field anyway. Key against her is outrace her and drop Enrage by turn 4-5.

Good luck, post results and thoughts!

Oh, I do currently run 2 Bad Santas in my own deck, just as bobwei suggested. My deck sits at 42 cards right now though.


Edit: My last game as of this post is a mirror Amber match,

NBAH vs. William Hawk.

I went second, still won. I think he may have had bad draw? Not sure. You might be interested to watch though. If I can dig up some other games that were close I will pst as well. Good luck!

Ok. You are on the right track. The following will give you a very good deck, fast with a strong damage output.

-4 dual wield
-1 enrage
-2 sandworm
-2 misplaced
-2 war banner

+3 Birgitte
+2 Crippling blow
+2 Smashing blow
+2 Bad Santa

If you want you can also get rid of the retreats. Play around with it and see how it works for you.

In my previous post I stated that I went second in the match I refererenced against NBAH. I went back and watched that match again myself, and realized that I went first in that game.

My apologies for the mistaken info.
