Perhaps the most hated deck in all of Shadow Era. Millstalker gets this notorious reputation because not only are the games "boring", they average about 30-45 minutes long. Some games can extended past 1 hour! Not exactly the "quick game" people are expecting during their 30 minute lunch break.
The reason people play this deck is because it is bloody effective at winning games. Played effectively, expect at least a 300+ rating with a 60%+ winning percentage in quick match. The majority of wins will come against Human deck because those heroes don't typically carry sufficient counters needed to defeat this deck. Many other wins will come from people quiting half way through the match due to frustration, boredom, or lack of time to complete.
Here are the core cards.
For milling:
Bazaar
Bad Santa
For defense:
What Big Teeth
Evil Ascendent
Now Your Mine
Captured Prey
Crescendo
For stalling:
Shadow Font
Rain Delay
Full Moon
For healing:
Lone Wolf
Regenerate
Optional:
Shadow Knight
Speed Strike
Rabid Bite
Master Smith
The typical Millstalker deck will be composed of 46-52 cards. Don't be intimidated with this large deck size; you'll need everyone of them. This makes every sacrifice a crucial decision.
Bazaar: You want to play this card ASAP. If possible, play on turn 2. If your opponent is a human mage, hunter, or warrior, you can sack the remaining three. Those heroes can't destroy it. For all other heroes, try to save one in hand in case it becomes destroyed.
