***Weapons (3)***
2x Dragon's Tooth

1x Spectral Sabre

TOTAL: 40 cards + Hero

This deck may seem difficult to play. But no, it's not.
Even though you need to play a bit of mind game whether to destroy items, approach to the board is very simple. Just play allies, and play more allies.

The reason this strategy works is because Ter can destroy many of major draw engines with his ability while drawing so many cards from Blood Frenzy

. What happens is that Ter gets a lot more hand advantage, and by playing many tough shadow allies, your opponent will eventually run out of gas.

Type: Counter Beatdown
Resource: 6~8
Speed: Slow

Karash
Human warrior might not have to include 2cc allies as they have retreat and CB. Unfortunately, shadow warriors don't have access to alternative t2 ability. So I included Karash.

Garg
This is the card that made this deck possible. IG's toughness forces your opponent to use more cards. e.g. Puwen

attack + Fireball

. This is what this deck needs. Let IG absorb your opponent's resources. You can gain advantage by just playing this ally.

DMT
Karash + DMT

to kill opponent Puwen

when going first or PotL when going second. I also included War Banner

in this deck, so 3 DMT

is sufficient to play on t3 following t2 karash.

MA
5,6, 7th copy of IG. Very helpful when facing Moonstalker

.

Shadow Knight
t5 SK, t6 3cc x2 is a good move. This card makes the deck thicker in my opinion. Good card when you want to keep playing allies. I only included 3 because Darkwood Wraith

tends to be the optimal t5 play. But I would love to have 4 SK if the meta allows.

Darkwood Wraith
Nice t5 play to start getting the board back. You either need this or Gauntlet by t5 to turn the board in your favour. For consistency, I included 3.

Enrage
Just for mage and possibly Zaladar

. You don't really need this in other match ups.

Crippling blow
Always useful, but t2, t5, t7 is when I typically cast a CB.

Blood Frenzy
The main draw engine.

Shadow Font
Pretty obvious. Best "item destruction" card if used by Ter. Just use this like a normal item destruction: play when you destroy. This way opponent gets disappointed more

Sac Lamb
t3 garg sometimes survives until t5, then SL + 3cc is quite nice. BF4 + SL2 + SK3 has enough draw power.

War Banner
Very important vs shadow. You have to play this at some point to kill Karash with Garg, Wraith or MA without using its ability.

Punisher's Gauntlets
Ter's new toy No.1. Great SE dump

You either need this or DW by t5 if you are behind. Include 3 copies of this card if there are many Zaladars and Mages. This card has a potential to turn Ter into a control freak

Dragon's Tooth
Ter's new toy No.2. Again, include 3 copies of this card if there are many fatty users like priest.

Spectral Sabre
1 SS + 2 SL to take care of attachment-centred heroes.

I personally think Ter is as good as boris now. Ter might take a bit longer to have everything set up, but he is as strong as boris in the late game. 4BF + 2 Sac Lamb and 3 SK enables continuous aggression together with non-resource intensive control cards (DT and Gauntlets) in the late game.

Enjoy!

This is one of the best Ter deck

I run a very similar deck but I have berserkers. What do you think of the card? Nice deck btw.

I don't know what to make of Berserker. You have to be far enough behind in tempo that even when he comes in and attacks and kills an opposing ally, you are at best even. Only to lose the advantage again on the opponents next turn. He is so situational I just stopped using him because he was never effective. If he was changed to be like the other cards where if the opponent has "equal to or more allies", then he would be great. but as he is now, where opponent has to have "more allies" than you, I just don't know what to think about him.

Berserker is great. But do I think berserker is a stable t5 play? - No.

I do agree that WB fits with overall strategy of this deck, but I found WB was not the best for t5 play when you are behind.
