Any advice for my Gravebone deck?

[Dievazt]

Hi guys,
I'm quite new here, been playing with Gravebone (I love mages )
I would love to share my Gravebone after experimenting one after another since my original post.

Here it was:
40 cards

1 Gravebone

Allies - 15
4 Brutalis
4 Gargoyle
3 Belladona
2 Death Mage Thaddeus
2 Oggloth

Others - 24
4 Fireball
4 Lightning Strike
4 Supernova
3 Portal
3 Tome of Knowledge
2 Shriek of Vengeance
2 Ley Line Nexus
2 Dagger of Unmaking
-------------------------------------------
Here it is, now...
Allies - 14
4 Brutalis
4 Gargoyle
3 Plasma Behemoth
3 DMT

Others - 25
4 Fireball
4 Lightning Strike
3 Supernova
4 Sacrificial Lamb
2 Shriek
2 DoU
2 Sever Ties
2 LLN
2 Clinging Webs

I believe there isn't such a perfect deck without any weakness, so this deck aims to at least 'keep up' with many type of opponents.
Feel free to comment and suggesting anything

My advice would be: more allies. If you want to go with portal, you need 4 of them and Brutal Minotaur instead of Ogloth. But if you're ok with dropping it, you should replace Belladonna by Plasma Behemoth. Consider more draw - Sac Lamb or Bad Santa.

You should add more allies. I don't like using portal with gravebone, but it's your choice. And I think bella is pretty much useless.

So basically what unruler said.

[thantos]

Are you having any specific problems with your match ups?

Everything said so far I agree with.

[Bayfighter]

I agree with the other suggestions above as well. But generally, the deck looks solid. What decks/Heroes do you have trouble playing against?

[Dievazt]

thank you for all of the replies, and thank you very much for the advice about my build. I think I'm going to replace Belladona with something else, I'm thinking Medusil. How about it?

actually I have trouble against Elementalis and Gwynneth actually, and also many decks with that annoying Sandworm. Any suggestion to defeat these kind of decks?

Shadow Knights should be incredibly useful for you. Their ability doesn't trigger upon being revived, but neither does Thaddeus, so you can use SK to return other SKs or DMT to your hand for value and card advantage. Much better than Belladonna.

I would cut the DOUs. If you're worried about Sandworm, DoU does nothing against it, and if you're playing portal (or even if you aren't) you want to spend your t5 playing a big ally, and if not that then playing a nova. It's undoubtedly a good card, but in Gravebone you want plenty of key 5cc allies and with only so much room in the deck, you'd rather have threats like Molten Destroyer or Plasma Behemoth than DoU.

If you don't want to include Plasma Behemoth, I would suggest +2 Bad Wolfs (both of Medusil's and Bad Wolf's abilities are rarely used, but BW is resistant to Evil Ascendant, and you're are Mage with so many direct damage you won't need Medusil's ability) and +1 Death Mage Thaddeus, because he is pretty good.

actually I have trouble against Elementalis and Gwynneth actually, and also many decks with that annoying Sandworm. Any suggestion to defeat these kind of decks?

I would suggest adding 3 Clinging Webs or Freeze (instead of portal) to deal with worms and Elementalis. Against Gwen you already have LLN, you may be considering Show Sapphire to slow her down.

I think if you use portal, then you don't need DOU

[Dievazt]

thank you everybody for the advices, after few games and testing several builds. I finally got rid the Portal and replacing it for 3 Sac Lambs, it sure a powerful card and a game turner!

and also, I'm replacing Belladona with Bad Wolf. I'm still having trouble with Sandworm, I think I'm not supposed to attack it, just slow it down, so I'm also adding a Clinging Webs to replace the Oggloth (most of the time, I can't get him on the board).

again, thank you very much for everybody's advice, I appreciate it so much and it does really help me improve my game
