Ter Adun - in the works

[Natethegreat]

I love Ter Adun, don't know why, but i like his natural ability/item destruction. So for quite a while i have been playing Ter Adun, and though it isn't complete, it still works really well. Until I can buy some weapons/armors it won't be complete, so I am hoping that people will be helping me choose. So here it is.

x1 Ter Adun

Allies
x2 Brutalis
x4 Bad Wolf
x4 Hellsteed
x4 Dark Flayer
x4 Molten Destroyer
x2 Wulven Tracker

Total:20

Abilities
x3 War Banner
x4 Smashing Blow
x1 Enrage
x4 Crippling Blow
x2 Rampage
x4 Shield Bash
x1 Blood Frenzy

Total:19

All:40


The Main Goal: The main goal of this deck is to make people not be able to play support abilities or items, mainly hero items. Then destroy them with big allies, or mainly Molten Destroyer. You can also just use smaller allies, boosted with Hellsteed.

T1: Resource, Hellsteed if possible.
T2: Resource, if no Hellsteed, Flayer, if Hellsteed, Brutalis or Flayer if no Brutalis.
T3: Resource, if health heavy ally out, shield bash, attack with Flayer or Brutalis, if not, War Banner, attack hero or allies.
T4: Resource, Wulven Tracker, or lower 2cc allies, two Flayers if possible, a Flayer and Hellsteed, maybe two.
T5- end, Improvise. After T5 it is usually just go with whatever happens, but if a weapon comes up before T6, at least try to Smashing Blow it. If not possible, then obviously use his ability.
So what would be good weapons for the deck? And any suggestions?

+3 blood frenzy
+4 Jeweler's dream

That's automatic for ever warrior period. So much strength just in those 2 cards.

No Blood Frenzy! Ever anymore than I have right now. Whenever I have used it it doesn't help much, will only help enemies kill me since I use it early, and even with two it just buries the cards I need, cause I have played this deck, for hours and hours, and I am open to suggestions, but Blood Frenzy is one thing I will not change. I was thinking Jewelers Dream, however I wasn't sure.

[Killtrend]

Blood frenzy is one of the top ways to draw cards in this game hands down. If you're worried about life loss, a simple enrage buys you 10 turns of *free* draw.

Play it T5.

T4 - Jeweler + Attack. Play 2cc whatever.
T5 - 4cc ally or *gasp* enrage. Attack. Play Blood Frenzy.
T6 - no more "end"

[Natethegreat]

Okay now just, don't treat me like a moron. I know enrage helps and all that, but I try to save it for when I am losing severly, I use it, but not all the time.

[Killtrend]

There's no good or bad time to use enrage unless it interferes with another play, like playing an ally.

Im not trying to be an ass, im letting you in on what others have known for over a year now, Blood Frenzy is one of the best card draw engines in the entire game. All I'm saying is here are your other options:

Bazaar - Card draw that gives you negative card advantage. Your opponent will be at a slightly better advantage because you played this.

Bad Santa - Even timed perfectly, you are giving your opponent cards. Whether its one or 3, it's still another choice for them to sacrifice or play.

Wulven tracker - He will barely ever get to attack. Hardly a card draw engine. Barely a 50/50 chance.

Belladonna - Guarentees one card. Without proper recursion from shadow knight, it's really only a slight positive because Bella will likely die anyway.

Dimensional Ripper - sub par as a draw engine. Unpredictable results will lead to an inconsistent deck.

Campfire stories - Nope.

Ley Line Nexus - A small bonus, and likely not played in ter Adun.

Here Be Monsters - Inconsistent, bonus card draw

Sacrificial lamb - at best it's killing a disabled ally and costing a card for 3. At worst, its a dead draw. Plus 2 resources spent. Far from a draw engine. Very situational but it can be powerful.

I just recently played 5 games, and every time I drew the Blood Frenzy. So I think one might not hurt, but not 3 more. What's everyone's problem with Campfire Stories, i used it successfully a couple of times. I think that I should get rid of one of the Crippling Blows, and add the BF.
And yes I know that BF is the best draw engine, I just have had a problem with it in a couple of games in which it killed me.

I'll leave you with this:

Ter Adun

Pros:
*High Health
*Access to Jeweler's Dream(Top 3 weapon in the game, likely.)
*Decent ally support (Banner. KP)
*Excellent Item Destruction

Cons:
*No board wipes
*Lackluster creature control (no retreat. No Boris or Logan-like ability)
*No synergy with weapons (ex: amber, Serena, etc)
*Weak faction allies for early game mixed with all of the above


Work his strengths, band aid his weaknesses. I'm building a ter Adun now too. It's not easy.

[Natethegreat]

I agree, not easy. Thanks for the tips.

Edit:
-1 Crippling Blow
-2 Wulven Tracker
+1 Enrage
+1 Blood Frenzy
+2 Valiant Defender

This increases card total to 41.
Also on T2 if you have no 2 drop allies in your hand, play VD.
