Gravebone resurrection

[indastria]

HERO
Gravebone

ALLIES
2x Keldor
4x Infernal Gargoyle
4x Brutalis
2x Plasma Behemoth
4x Death Mage Thaddeus
3x Shadow Knight

ABILITY
4x Fireball
3x Lightning Strike
3x Portal
4x Shadow Font
4x Sacrificial Lamb

ARMOUR
2x Snow Sapphire

40 cards

Gravebone + Shadow Font + Sacrifical Lamb
attack or use ally ability and draw 3 cards with Sacrifical Lamb. Returned to play an ally with hero ability (with or without Shadow Font)

I don't know if Portal it's a good idea
Snow Sapphire is a good protection but i would stopping the deals from attacking.

How I can improve it?

[Mew Two]

4 lightning strik is a must in almost all Mage decks... Add one more. Supernova is a staple for gravebone because you can nova the field an get an ally out with his ability in one turn. If I were you, I woul go
-2 ss
-3 portal
+1 Ls
+4 nova

[Dievazt]

agree with Mew Two, you need Supernova for board wipeout.
and I think 4 DMT is quite too much, since you could only get one at a time.
and also, it's better to add Brutal Minotaur if you want to use a portal, since it's seriously damaging enemy's hero / high HP allies.

Quick thoughts:

1. Why are you running DMT? His 1-dmg ability does not work when coming into play from the graveyard by GB's ability. I do not see the point of this ally in a GB deck.
2. Why 2x Keldor? Very inconsistent. Find room for some Bad Wolfs or Medusils.
3. As Mew Two said, 4x Lightning Strike is a staple of any mage deck.
4. Portal has no synergy with GB either since allies resurrected from the graveyard cannot make use of it. Again, as Mew Two said, drop them.
5. 4x Supernova with GB... always... no exceptions.
6. 4x Sac Lamb is too much, try 3 or 2.
7. I am not a fan of Shadow Font on GB. For 4cc, you could have just summoned another 3-4cc ally from your hand. It is only beneficial with you have a 5cc or 6cc ally in your graveyard. Too situational and gimmicky.
8. Why Snow Sapphire? Has a Gwen been beating you up recently? I am confused.

hmm... you don't really need portal...

and you really need LS*4 nova*4

SF is a ok card.. but 2 is enough (or none...)

I would use Bad Wolf or Medusil instead of Keldor

DMT*4 is too much. 2~3 is better

I have been using gravebone since the update...basically i had 4 portal in my deck for all these time and it seems to work pretty well...what i wondering is with your no.5. why we need 4 supernova? can you explain further on this? I just have 2 and i doesnt seem to use it often too.

I would drop the keldor I dont like him add 2 more pb, if you ever get 3-4 pb on the table most will just quit right then, I dont run SK in my deck have you thought about addig a couple Ogloth?
4DMT too many I run with 3 and wind up saking 2 of them since only 1 allowed on the board at a time. 3 Nova good idea.

I used to have 3 sacraficial lambs but I am testing 3 research and 4 wulven traker right now I am trying without the lbs because I never
Really seem to need them that offten, I dont like research but I am giving it a try.

Also, my comment about adding the extra pb, i should say that i dont use a portal with gravebone if
Portal is important to you you might think about dropping pb and getting some brutal, depends what way youre
Leaning.

You need 4 Supernova to help to ensure this play:

Turn 5 Plasma Behemoth. Opponent attacks and kills behemoth. Consolidates Board position.
Turn 6 Supernova, wipe opponent's board, bring back Behemoth.

You've achieved two things with this play, directed damage away from your hero, and more importantly, taken board control in one foul swoop.

I personally find I can do this play easily enough with 3 nova in my deck.

The difficulty of the play is not in question. It's still easy with 1 nova. What is being brought up is that you will not be able to do this easy and awesome play consistently without 4 supernova.
