GB has always been my fav mage, due to the heavy ally base deck of GB, the battle decision making is so intense. I'm gone from a newbie with GB (using cds whenever it's up) to somewhat of a veteran, currently 286 but having trouble against some class... PRIEST!!! and the male rogue.
My original build was based on the pro guide on GB in this section by another player, but i found it to be super weak early game, and the turn 5 nova+resurrect play is also easily countered. That's why i've putted in alot of 1 and 2 drop allies. nuf said, here's my build
1 x GB
3 x firesnake
1 x hellsteed
2 x carniboar
1 x dark flayer
3 x infernal gargoyle
1 x death mage thaddeus
3 x PB
1 x Oglothe
4 x fireball
4 x lighting strike
3 x tome of knowledge
3 x super nova
4 x clinging web
2 x shriek
2 x sever ties
1 x ley line nexus
2 x DOU
the list is long but it's a 40 card deck, the reason for the diverse card choices is due to the versatile combat strategies against different class. But i have found myself losing almost every single priest fights, the only couple of times i won is cause i had good draws early game with all my weenies and he didn't have anything, after tidal wave he had less than 16 health left and again i had super good draw with all the burn cards and just burned my way through. If i miss my early allies, which happens, or later burn cards, or he has more board control it's definately gg, not even a chance of turning it around. I've found shadow deck to be so much easier to beat than the human deck, mainly due to human allies and retreat. Does anyone see any problems in my deck? Also the male rogue with ankele just owns me so bad, i've had to put in an extra shriek to counter both priest's -1 attack and rogue's draw card when enemy ally dies. Any advise would be appreciated!!
