Alright boys and girls, I'll try to make this short.
The update brought a slew of changes for lovely Majiya. The first decklist I posted (on page 1 in this thread, the deck I was using until 1.24) relied on Portal to counteract opposing Portals. However, the introduction of the new cards brought alternate methods of doing so, namely Shriek of Vengeance and Voice of Winter.
Voice of Winter makes allies frozen for two turns when they enter play, rendering Portal useless. Coupled with the fact that Portal only lasts 3 turn now (which also means it is a more unattractive option for oneself) means it is easily outstalled.
Shriek of Vengeance is an interesting card. For the cost of a resource, you can destroy any armor, weapon, and item (not sure if the former two are intentional, but at this point in time, SoV can be used that way). As such, this is another card that is good for mitigating damage.
Snow Sapphire is another good option for stalling, although admittedly not as safe as Voice of Winter. Snow Sapphire freezes any character that attacks your hero, both heroes and allies, making it apt at preventing hero attacks.
Modifying the decklist with all the recent changes in mind, here's an initial draft:
Hero: Majiya
Allies:
3 Infernal Gargoyle
Abilites:
4 Fireball
4 Lightning Strike
3 Supernova
2 Poison Gas
2 Engulfing Flames
2 Clinging Webs
2 Freeze
4 Shriek of Vengeance
2 Rain Delay
4 Here be Monsters
Items:
4 Research
Weapons and Armor:
2 Voice of Winter
2 Snow Sapphire
The deck has changed quite a bit. A ton of abilites were added to ensure you survive.
Infernal Gargoyle can now efficiently counter Blake Windrunner, as Eladwen's power costs 4 Shadow Energy to use. Since the deck doesn't use Portal, it is the only ally in the deck. Plasma Behemoth could be added for battering Darkclaw and Elementalis.
Here be Monsters is still Here be Monsters. Makes sure you don't fall behind in resources.
Voice of Winter, Snow Sapphire and Shriek of Vengeance are explained above.
The deck plays similarily to the Nishaven burn deck. Put a Poison Gas and Engulfing Flames on the opposing hero and start stalling. Pretty simple.
I only got two of VoW and SS because I couldn't afford any more.
Any thoughts?
