Newbie deck built

[lVlonster]

Hey guys, I just started this game today and was really impressed with it so I built this deck. I built it as a delay decay deck /w a bit of burst damage. Any one have any suggestions? Anything you guys can add would be helpful.

Gravebone-

Death Mage Thadeus x 4
Fireball x 4
Freezing Grip x 3
Poison Gas x 4
Lightning Strike x 4
Engulfing Flames x 4
Tome of Knowledge
Super Nova
Clinging Webs x 4
Rain Delay x 4
Bazaar x 4
Bad Santa x 2


I went with x 4 of gas and flames to get them out quicker preferably 1 on turn 4 and then the other on turn 5 then the others for resources once I drew them.

I recommend using more allies with gravebone. On account of his ability. Also 4 engulfing flames and poison gas is too much.

[Speed Freak]

I suggest you either add more allies for gravebone to be truly effective or switch your hero for majiya...

[lVlonster]

Thanks for your suggestions guys, I will take a look at adding more allies. Is there any allies that can protect your hero?

[Nerdom]

Lose poison n flames add more allies. Plane ahead for the end game. Avoid situational and gimmick cards. Good luck and welcome

Also your deck is very defensive. Clinging webs and rain delay are in my opinion the most useless cards. You need cards that will give you early control. Why so few allies. Remember allies are not just for inflicting damage, they divert your opponents attack on your hero. Better to play an ally you know will get taken out than do nothing and leave your hero vulnerable. also don't make the mistake that I made and think you always need to sacrifice. I would recommend getting a reserve of at least 5 no matter how much it hurts and then lose cards that are situationally void.

Thanks for the info Nerdom, I took out the poison and fire dots and added

fire snake x 2
Plasma Behemoth x 3
Super Nova x 2 (total of 3)

Its a lot more burst than I figured but it seems to work well with more attention drawn towards the thadeus mages and behemoths. Any suggestions or cards I could take out or add. I thought about going for a portal combo but decided to pass. Do you guys think I should take out a Plasma Behemoth and put in another super nova?

[gunslinger]

pb is a must for me in any shadow deck. if your goin to start putting the extra allies in then portal is a good idea maybe 1less super nova. 2 should be enough in a gravebone deck

[lVlonster]

Whats PB? Sorry im a nub haha. So here is what I got so far, any other suggestions?

Plasma Behemoth x3
Fire Snake x2
Death Mage Thaddeus x 4
Fireball x 4
Freezing Grip x 3
Lightning Strike x 4
Super Nova x 4
Clinging Webs x 4
Rain Delay x 4
Bazaar x 4
Bad Santa x 3
Voice of Winter x 1


Any other suggestions would help, i really appreciate all the help you guys have given me so far.

Considering Gravebones ability Id say you want at least 4 fatties, probably more. If you have the cash I would suggest you add some Molten Destroyers.

Also Rain Delay is imo pretty bad. I'd switch them out for 4 Brutalis.
