The Elemental Strike Back! (Defender series)

**Bloody Herman** · 07-28-2012, 03:15 PM

The key card is defender ally Dark Flayer

and Cobra Demon

.
Which also rarely people use it and Cobra Demon

no where to be seen.

Here are the deck list where I will make use of their Defender brand.

Hero: Zaladar

Ally

4 x Dark Flayer

4 x Cobra Demon

4 x Gargoyle
3 x Shadow Knight

Ability/ Item

4 x Mind Control

4 x Shard of Power

2 x Shriek of Vengence
4 x Shadow Font

3 x Sacrificial Lamb

2 x Melt Down

2 x Ley Line Nexus

4 x Ghostmaker

Total 41 card

Main card is Dark Flayer

but its ok let him die before 5th turn.
Keep board control till turn 6th to activate Ghostmaker

to be your defender reviver.
Ghostmaker

is great when you miss your chance to do Shadow Knight

cycle.
When you summon defender with 1hp its not a problem with enemy but if you have Shard of Power

will be difficult for the opponent.
Its annoying when revive 1hp ally than it get attack easily.
I making use of the Defender type, Shard of Power

for late game and Ghostmaker

.

The weak point of these deck is equipment deck and Sand Worm.
Equipment base type I go all out with my Gargoyle to take the hit.
If you have Shard Of Power on field you can use Melt Down

to balance the flow.

The SandWorm issue is to keep Mind Control

for these fella at all time.
Always one or two Mind Control

in hand any other else just group kill at it.

Yes I know Elemental draw speed is slow. So far for me one or two time Sacrificial Lamb

is enough.
I did try The Defenders in Ter Adun

King's Pride

deck but thats leave no impact for me.
Shard of Power

with The Defenders is pretty cool combo. I tired to see my defendless ally get kill every single day. T_T
So please do your part to save endangered ally and please leave some ideas for this deck. ^_^

The deck feels like its trying to do too much with gargoyle and shard and meltdown.

If you're going the shard and ghost maker route, gargoyle is a poor choice. If you're flayer even lives until t3, you're going to want there to be a shard in play. Once that's down, there's no reason for gargoyle.

The main combo here, that I work on in the Defender build you mentioned, is to use extra sharp to make defender allies VERY painful to kill. It's also easier to pull all of this off with Jeweler's dream and a smaller reliance on shriek/LLN

, hence Ter Adun

.

I say drop gargoyle for deathbone. He's going to be weak and die anyway, might as well make an "extra defender" of sorts. With ghostmaker and SK, that's quite a bit of ugly.

Take out sac lamb. Add in 4x bad Santa.

Atk pump Dark Flayer

some willing to Fire Ball him wat a waste!

Gargoyle I interested with his -1 and his 3cc. Difficult to use DeathBone with GhostMaker and even Gravebone

due to the annoying SandWorm.
See how will test with that for this deck.

Bad Santa

I ban that card. Its a terrible card to use during mid-games. Thats why I use Sac Lamb to sac Gargoyle and Cobra Demon when you have board control. SK will be there to get back the sac card. Yup I using ugly cards but it make me sad nobody using Ghostmaker

for Elemental deck!

Ghostmaker

is not really useful in this kind of deck. Unless you are thinking of using it as a way to increase board advantage, especially if it were Dark Flayer

and Shard of Power

is in play. Otherwise it is a little expensive. Otherwise I think it is quite okay.
Dark Flayer

is well used here. I was expecting this card to get some attention very soon...

I had done something like zaladar

flayer/deathbone/DMT

/medusil/molton destroyer/shadow knight/ghostmaker
(I forget the overall quantities of each card), but it was a fun deck
medusil I think really helps in keeping your more fragile weenies & ghosts alive.

didn't run shard's though.

couldn't really figure out a way to do both flayer and cobra though one would think cobra fits in the theme of the deck,
