How do u counter raven wildheart as gravebone?

[Kraven]

Greetings forum members! Even though i've been playing this game for awhile, this is actually my first post, and here's the reason why i decided to make a thread today, out of desperation really:

I run a 42~47 card portal gravebone deck, and while i play fairly well against most decks, i just for the life of me can't seem to find a way to counter raven wildheart especially against an someone like lance...as soon as i pop shadow knight/brutal minotaur in T5 it is instantly countered by raven, and with aeon stormcaller on T6 it is pretty much gg...even with snow sapphire it only works as a temp delay and since i won't have the cards to dish out any decent damage i'd eventually get destroyed...

Please help?

Welcome!
Do you mind posting your deck? It would be a lot easier to help if we knew exactly what you're working with.

And do you happen to play Xbox? :O A good friend of mine has your exact name xD

Thanks! glad to be here

lol i do play on xbox but under a different name

ok this is my deck right now:

4 x brutalis (my t2 cast if tome isn't in the draw)
4 x infernal gargoyle (for countering cards like evil descendants and other low damage mobs)
3 x death mage thaddeus (used to use belladona but subbed her out as of yesterday)
3 x death knight
3 x brutal minotaur
4 x fireball
4 x lightning strike
4 x tome of knowledge
4 x portal
2 x sever ties (for countering any cc cards against my fatties)
2 x ley line nexus (for countering soul seeker truesight and other weapon dependent deck)
2 x snow sapphire (same as above)
2 x dagger of unmaking (thinking of taking this out)

You can run PB or MD as your Fatty instead. PB can still use his ability after Raven hits and MD would deal 1 dmg plus set her ablaze so a single fireball can kill Raven. Run Sacrificial Lambs to make use of your useless allies.

For Aeon, DoU works great if you use it while he is not under Lance's ability. As long as you have any of your 5CCs on the field you should be able to kill Aeon.

Welcome btw

kk i'll give that a try and adjust it accordingly i already run sacrificial lambs i just forgot to post it lol

The only thing i'm worried about is sacrificing my portal damage and the ability to bring cards back into my hand with DK just for countering 1 specific card

normally i just spam supernova....
e.g they cast raven, then i might use brut to deal 1 damage then cast nova,after that use ability to get a MD/PB at the same turn.

btw you didnt add supernova to your deck. It's so important for GB.
because you can cast nova to clear board then use your ability to get a fatty

Nova with Gravebone is a match made in the darkest circles of Hades.

lol yeah super nova definitely sounds like the prime choice right now, i've been a lil hesitant bout adding SN to my deck but now that u guys have suggested it...ok time to play test the new deck

(providing the server don't crash every 5-10 min....wtf's wrong with the server today anyways?)

Idk. but i noticed it as well...very frustrating

For the sake of repetition, Nova is not just a "Oh, crap!" card for GB, it's his own method for dealing with his own allies too. That said, Sac Lamb is also workable, and less drastic.
