Competitive Zaladar Deck

[Narziss]

I wasn't going to post this, but I saw several Zaladar decklists that were making me shake my head. A lot of the credit for this deck goes to Supermof and his reasoning behind many of the card choices. My deck is only slightly different than his. Here is my version:

1 Zaladar

4 Infernal Gargoyle
2 Bad Wolf
4 Chimera
4 Belladonna

4 Life Infusion
4 Transference
3 Energy Discharge
4 Mind Control

mine is only a few cards off from this. solid build.

armor of ages is pretty nuts in zaladar.

I'm interested in your thought on Shriek of Vengeance and are you not hopping abord the HBM bandwagon?

[Calmdown]

Not many cards off my Zaladar either in terms of support - but I find your creature lineup unusual.

One of the big secrets of the current meta; HBM isn't very good

Not that different to the one I was using recently (but I guess not playing weenies is the reason why). Armor of Ages is disgusting if you need to stall for Shadow Energy or to taunt for a Discharge. Which is why I also have a couple of Shrieks (saved me a couple of times against good items). I like behemoths (with infusions preferably) to bypass Aeons. I have mixed feeling towards Life Infusion so I sometimes toggle them for Bloodlusts (not exceptional, but sometimes helpful to clean up the opponent's Aldon/Jasmine with a couple of Gargoyles).

I will give it a try, so far I am playing this and I like it... I am curious to see if this list is more consistent, and why, but for sure I will miss Bloodlust

Ever consider a single eternal renewal? Its perfect when you face some stall decks or if games take up more than 30 cards worth.

Absolutely right now, but this deck is a nightmare to run tuned as it is

[Sardokan]

Yes, I play 4 armor of ages, and Add 3 bad santa, only card accelerator for zaladar (i dont play belladonna), that can also fit in milling other player's deck if he plays 30 cards, my deck is now 38

i wonder why narziss dont play the strong shadow allys in this deck, like plasma behemot, nothing in this survive boris abillity

I have a similar deck, and was something i also used before the update. I've played Supermof's version of this deck too before the update. The deck is very competitive. the choice of allys makes sense because they are all have an advantage. Infernal gargoyle, bad wolf, and chimera are reasonably hard to kill, and belladonna gives you a +1 card as well as 4 attack ally.
life infusion only makes these allies harder to kill, transference, energy discharge, and mind control being self explanatory.
