Well, I missed my 4000th post (shame on me!) So I figured I should do something big and special for my 5000th. So I’ve got a very special deck that’s close to my heart and some interesting trivia that could net you some SC for the expansion!
But before I continue, I’d like to start things off with a story (See Darkness Rising for the full lead up to this point):
Not Dead Yet
The Shadow Crystal flickered.
The chest began to move.
The corpse sat up.
Ter Adunsmiled as he surveyed his surroundings. The Shadow Crystal embedded in his chest had done its job, keeping his body alive long after it should have died from his wounds. It had been an insurance policy against betrayal, a present from a wicked mage he’d helped long ago. But now the Crystal was spent and that mage long dead, so this second chance at life was the only one he’d get.
His body had been dumped in a forest, presumably for the scavengers to deal with it. He was grateful his army didn’t bother to bury him, digging himself out of a hole was not an ideal situation. Standing up, his bones creaked and his muscles hurt as they once again got used to movement and life. He didn’t know how long he had been dead, but he did know that whatever army he had now belonged to that traitor Kairos. This meant he was going to have to go it alone and slowly build up his forces. He had some loyal troops that he had held in reserve as a contingency plan. It wasn’t much, but enough for him to rebuild.
Ter set off without further delay, his unholy fusion of heart and magic burning with a desire for revenge.
--------------------
Now, this is the first Dark Prophecies deck I've posted and I have to give a major shout out to ETC’s own Fou DeLile, who took my deck concept, ran with it and tested the hell out of it. With his help, it’s been refined to its current state.
Ter Adun
3 x Shadow Knight
4 x Furrion Terror
2 x Braxnorian Veteran
3 x Reserve Weapon
2 x Enrage
4 x Crippling Blow
4 x Rampage
4 x Evil Ascendant
4 x Bad Santa
2 x Aldmor Conduit
3 x Snow Sapphire
4 x Berzerkers Edge
2 x Dragon's Tooth
41 cards + hero
“You’re evil Preybird” – Soothslyr
That pretty much describes this deck.
Why is this deck evil?
Where to begin? This deck is full of nasty tricks and synergies that confuse, delay, annoy and ultimately defeat your opponent. At first glance it looks like a Solo Ter, and we all know that while annoying, they usually weren’t that effective. However the new Dark Prophecies cards, you can fill in the weaknesses and boost the style to an effective and dangerous strategy. Let’s go through
New additions
Here is a list of the new additions and what they do for the deck:
- Furrion Terror
- Braxnorian Veteran
- Dragon’s Tooth: This addresses probably the biggest problem with Solo Ter, how to deal with Aeon
- Aldmor Conduit
The Cycle of Death
This deck cycles everything. Weapons, allies, attachments can all be brought around for another pass, and almost nothing in your graveyard is truly out of the fight. This puts huge strain on your opponent, because they have to spend so much removal to deal with your three pronged assault, only to have it come back time and time again.
- Weapons: Reserve Weapon
- Allies: Shadow Knight
- Attachments: Braxnorian Veteran
Other options
Here are some other options that didn’t make it into the deck as-is, but are definitely viable alternatives or candidates for further testing.
Note: Any of the allies would probably replace Braxnorian Veteran
- Darkwood Wraith
- Wild Berzerker: Ally killer, however can only target one at a time. Though it is hasted when your opponent has more out than you (usual situation), and it can deal a quick 2 damage to your opponent’s hero at a pinch.
- Stalwart Battleguard
- Rothem
Conclusion
This is probably my most creative deck so far. I really love it and it’s not boring for either player, even though the games are long. And despite the fact it’s a powerful staller, I’ve actually gotten compliments about it in game (but mostly hate).
