Gwynneth all-in

i've won more than ive lost 15-2 with this deck so far with my sole losses coming against armor of ages. armor of ages is the sickness. i know i posted this in the other gwynneth thread but i think this is a different deck and play style than the decks in that thread. its perfectly fine to build hunters to be more controlling but in comparison to mages, elementals and even warriors their tools are lacking. when you try to incorporate allies, traps, and controlling cards you dilute the best thing hunters do and that is ridiculous bow damage.

im not claiming this deck is tier 1 or i'm even a good player lol BUT is tier 1 in fun factor.

Hero

Gwynneth

Bow
4x Soul seeker
4x Demon Beetle Bow
2x Guardian's Oath

Spells

4x Rapid Fire

4x Aimed Shot

4x Bazaar

4x Hide in the Forest
4x Special delivery(or blake but your biggest enemy is decks that use aeon, armor of ages and darkclaw so the reach is important)

not rocket science. what you are hoping for is

turn 1 resource
turn 2 bazaar
turn 3 resouce
turn 4 demon beetle bow
turn 5 rapid fire
turn 6 soul seeker + hide in the forest

some finer points.

soul seeker is NEVER resource and neither is your first rapid fire.

against people i know can break items i might try to draw their removal with demon and guardian bows and sneak in soulseeker when i can however most of the time i play the soul seeker and make them have the answer.

against aeon you just have to hope they dont back to back you. one aeon is fairly manageable if you have your soulseeker. two and three aeon however will probably run you out of gas

mages? what mages lol. ive seen maybe 2-3 mages out of all the games ive played with this deck and all of them where nishaven burn. no worries there this deck burns better than he does. majiya is tougher since she can break your bows but she is just as squishy.

against darkclaw conserve your special deliveries and TRY to chip him down to one turn kll range. ive only played one darkclaw so far but it wasnt a very good deck.

against armor of ages just go on to the next game. you wont break his armor in time. its saves everyone time

suggestions, improvements, scorn and ridicule welcome.

Sadly i think blakes are a must. Special deliverys casting cost is problematic with all the resource destruction im running into. I also wish guardian bow was something else too.

None of the bows cost less than 4, unless your opponent gets unlucky this deck is unlikely to win when going second.

I agree with you re special delivery but not with Blake

being a must. I dropped all allies and run pretty well.

it can win going second quite easily if you are allowed to get to 5-6 resources. the decks ive had the most trouble with are elementals though between here be monsters, transference and armor of ages there isn't much i can do. i also surrendered one game where i got sandra'd twice then he retreated a sandra and played her again on turn 6. i saw no point in continuing that game. right now i think resource destruction in shadow era is mostly fine but if there is anymore in the future there will not be much point in playing other deck types.

ive had some great matches against priests, hunters, mages, and warriors though where it came down to one turn where i can do the exact amount of damage needed to kill them before they would overwhelm me.
