    How to stop human rush with Elemenentalis?

    Ok, im one to always swap decks and experiment with new playing new styles but with Dark Prophecies for reasons unknown to me I became playing elementalis.

    So far im fighting above my weight with the reset at just over a 250 ranking,

    It has a strong late game style but struggles with the human rush and with the increase in Eladwen decks its hard to get over the initial "hump" its about a 50\50 chance of getting over this.

    Would like some help with this please any ideas will be great.

    Anyway here is the deck ive been enjoying lately comment please.


    Hero (1)
    1x Elementalis

    Allies (21)
    4x Belladonna
    4x Carniboar
    4x Shadow Knight
    3x Bloodstained Marauder
    3x Morbid Acolyte
    3x Darkwood Wraith

    Abilities (14)
    4x Mind Control
    3x Sacrificial Lamb
    3x Ley Line Nexus
    4x Bloodthirsty

    Items(4)
    2x Shriek of Vengeance
    2x Morphic Armor

    Total cards including hero 40

    Ill explain some of my card choices.

    With allies
    Belladonna and Shadow knight is purely card draw.

    Carniboar works well with Elemenentails ability and bloodthirsty a possibility of a 6\6 by turn 3


    Bloodstained Marauder
    Im unsure what its doing here was hoping it would work with Elementails somehow
    It has not thus far


    Morbid Acolyte
    A replacement for Infernal Gargoyle? not sure, not used his ability yet


    Darkwood Wraith
    Im converted did not see the value with its high cost at first but has helped with board control almost every game

    Items
    Shriek of Vengeance
    Unchanged from previous update

    Morphic Armor
    Big issues with this deck is weapon based heroes this helps with
    Lone Wolf
    Blood Frenzy
    Rampage
    Rapid Fire

    to take the sting out of their weapons

    Abilities
    Mind Control
    Sacrificial Lamb
    Ley Line Nexus

    All should know bout these
    4x Bloodthirsty
    Explained above

    I never played the test server much so Dark Prophecies is new to me
    which may be obvious

    -UPDATE-

    Thanks for the help guys this is my revised deck

    Hero (1)
    1x Elementalis

    Allies (21)
    0x Belladonna From advise from Kurthektik
    0x Carniboar replaced with 4x Ironhide Karash due to WarrByrd
    3x Shadow Knight to make room for bad santa
    0x Bloodstained Marauder Never worked well anyway for me at this point in time
    4x Morbid Acolyte one extra for 3cc allies plus
    4x Infernal Gargoyle with advice from Iclpise (I know it only makes 8 3cc allies but its a improvement)and again Warr Byrd
    4x Darkwood Wraith works very well had to put one more in

    Abilities (14)
    4x Mind Control
    2x Sacrificial Lamb took one out for bad santa
    2x Ley Line Nexus -1 with Fionn Maccumhails help
    4x Bloodthirsty
    2x Bad Santa Just need that extra draw added with advice from Fionn Maccumhail

    Items(4)
    2x Shriek of Vengeance
    2x Morphic Armor

    Items
    2x Infinity Core
    thanks Fionn Maccumhail works well

    Total cards including hero 40


    im still up for suggestions it is a work in progress this deck is much better with all your help thanks

    Infernal Gargoyle is just as good at resisting rush as he was before. Ironhide Karash is also a good new addition, not taking any damage from most 1 and 2cc allies, as well as some 3+cc allies.

    yeah the best answer is karash, it still dies to puwen+aldon combo going second, but hey you wont be able to beat that anytime soon =p

    also you allready have 3darkwood but i think 4* is better/needed

    You definitely have not enough 3cost allies. 7 copies is really the absolute minimum in my eyes.

    iclipse is correct. with what you're playing, 4x gargoyle, 3or4x acolyte will probably suite you best.

    Get rid of Belladonna and put either Gargoyle or Ironhide to put your foot in the door earlier.

    How is your draw flow with this? It's hard to drive Elemental decks without good draw machine. I personally find Sacrificial Lamb too slowing down.

    Card draw is hard agreed which makes it hard replacing card drawing cards with non card drawing
    beating the rush this may do but in hand loosing late game?
    Sac Lamb is still a good draw for me at the moment especially with the health of morbid acolyte
    how else to replace this draw?

    There is a combo for Elementalis that will beat Kris+Puwen+Aldon rush even if going 2nd. But to use it you have to change your deck a lot.

    Anyway, the combo is T1 FS -> T2 MF on FS -> T3 IG -> T4 Bloodthirsty on IG. Buff on IG whenever you have 3SE.
