The issue I'm having right now is Aeon

... a good opponent summons him, and him alone. with Reinforced armor. I can't do anything. lol

Currently sitting at around 300 rating with the new version of this deck.. I think I can climb a bit higher but I don't think it'll surpass 400.

Moonstalker

oo4 | Rabid Bite

oo4 | Captured Prey

oo4 | Now You're Mine

oo4 | Speedstrike

oo4 | Regeneration

oo4 | Full Moon

oo4 | Lone Wolf

oo4 | What Big Teeth

oo4 | Bazaar

oo4 | Rain Delay

41 cards in all

This is what I roll with when I'm not at work and I'm at 360ish rating atm. I've only lost with it once to a deck with 4 Plasma B's(which I killed all of them) and a bad hand.

I don't use Bad Santa

's, because I haven't had a time during a match where I really felt I needed one. I might add them in the future.

I play the patience game. I take a lot of dmg at the begining of the game, while minimizing dmg with Now You're Mine

, Rabid Bite and Lone Wolf. I don't sacrafice every turn even at the beggining of the match. I tend to sac Regeneration

against Human decks and save them for Shadow decks(because of Plasma B).

I tend to save my Captured Prey

's for Aeon

or Plasma B.

I don't begin to use Moonstalker

's ability till after turn 10(there's a bug where the Shadow Orbs keep counting in the background past the 10 cap, so you can use his ability like 5 times in a row if need be).

I save my Rain Delay

's and Full Moons for end game. I have efectively stayed unattackable(minus spells) for 13+ turns in a row. Most people quit because of this : )

I see that a lot of people report (or suggest) to play with 4x Speedstrike

, but I can´t understand why exactly. I don´t think Moonstalker

needs to go aggro against opponent´s allies, may be because he cannot afford to do this, IMHO. I would suggest to play just 2x Speedstrike

and to use the free slots to add 2x Behemoth.
Bazaar

is a fundamental card, basically because it speeds up both decks, granting similar adavantages to both players, but leading the opponent to run out of cards before of you. In addition to Bazaar

, I play two Bad Santas, but I use them just at the end of the game. Then, 4x Full Moon

, 4x Rain delay...
We have to bear in mind that Moonstalker

wins mainly by decking opponent to death and in my experience he´s very effective in doing this...

4x Speed Strike is just a peice of the combo... I personally think Moonstalker

is better than Darkclaw

because of his ability. Yes, Darkclaw

will take a lot less Pyshical punishment. But, the Ability to become completely untargetable for X turns... combos just too well with lone wolf. But yes, What Big Teeth, Speedstrike, and Lone Wolf is a necessary combo on Moonstalker

if you want to win.

I play Moonstalker

as you, but I still can´t figure out how this deck might go aggro against opponent´s allies, basically because to kill Sandra, for instance, you take 6 damages back. I always play very defensively with Moonstalker

, especially because it might be a risk to take additional damages when you have to resist to Eladwen

horde, etc... But probably we´re talking about two different ways to interpret the same deck.

You don't run into enemy allies. You let them hit you until they're low enough to pick off. Also, it helps take down a captured aeon. You can also pick off an Allie and hit the hero. And with moonstalker every point of damage counts.
