Help with eladween deck

[ocnarb]

I'm thinking of making this deck:

***HERO***
Eladwen Frostmire

***Allies (21)***
3x Jasmine Rosecult ..................... 4 1cc allies
4x Kristoffer Wyld ........................ 3 2cc allies
2x Erika Shadowhunter ............... 10 3cc allies (too many?)
3x Aldon the Brave........................ 0 4cc allies
4x Priest of the Light .................... 4 5cc allies
2x Armored Sandworm
3x Champion of Irum

By now I don't have Jasmines, Champions and 1 Aldon, but I'm using 3 puwen in the deck

***Abilities (24)***
4x Fireball ................................ 0 1cc abilities
2x Poison Gas ........................... 4 2cc abilities
4x Lightning Strike .................... 4 3cc abillities
2x Engulfing Flames ................. 12 4cc abilities
4x Supernova ........................... 4 5cc abilities
4x Retreat!
2x Sever Ties
2x Ley Line Nexus

By now I don't have Sever Ties and Ley line Nexus

***Items (8)***
4x Tome of Knowledge .............. 0 1cc items
2x Bazaar ................................. 6 2cc items
2x Aldmor Conduit ..................... 2 3cc items

TOTAL: 53 cards + Hero

I thought of making a semi rush deck, my bad match-ups are weapon/armor users or when they destroy my draw source

I know I should aim to 40 cards deck, but I don't know what to take away or what cards I should replace

Any tips would be welcome

I would start by taking out Erika, either jas or potl. You don't need both. Engulfing flames and engulfing flames. Bazaar and aldmor. Bad Santa works well for draw.

You mean engulfilng glames and poison gas?

I will remove bazaar, erika, jasmine and the dots cards and add 4(?) bad santas. I thought of maintaining aldmor for alyless decks, to waste SE on and speed draw (I know enemie can take advantage of it, but it seens worth the risk).

This would still result in a 46 cards + hero deck, it's ok?

2 bad santas should be enough

I would try this out. This list below worked nicely on the test server. To be honest I haven't played Eladwen since the expansion release. I'm in love with my portal Majiya at the moment but this list below should help ya get started. Your list above is 53 cards and you should really stay around 40. Anything above you start lossing lots of consistency.

4- Champs
4- Seductress
3- Jasmine
3- Aldon
3- Priest
4-Fireball
4- Lightning strike
4- Tome of knowledge
4- Word of the prophet
2- Ley Line Nexus
2- Dagger of Unmaking
2- Undying Bond(or could use nova's if you don't like bond).
This is 39 cards plus 1 hero equals 40. It was fast and since your aiming for rush then this should help ya in the right direction. Good Luck.

Hmm lots of cards I don't have, but someday I will try it

The key to Rush Eladwen is focus. There is no point in using cards like Word of the prophet and Undying Bond since they just make you lose tempo.

Try this:

4X Champion of Irum (Puwen is ok too)
3X Aldon
3X Jasmine
3X Seductress/PotL (PotL is more dominating going 1st, Seductress is better going second, pick which you prefer)
4X Tainted Oracle

4X Fireball
4X Lightning Strike
3X Nova

4X Bad Santa (Can use ToK if you do not wish to play a full on rush deck)
2X LLN (You can risk it and play without but makes you vulnerable to Spelleaters)

This is 34 cards so you have 5 remaining spaces. If you wish to play an actual rush deck, fill them up with 4X Kris and 1X Puwen/CoI. If you wish to play some pseudo-control instead (Use ToK over BS), you can use 2X Artful Squire and 3X Raven/Sandworm/Brax Soldier/Rider of Elios depending on your own preferences and most common opponent.
