Competitive Eladwen 2.012

[FlippyDoo]

Ive been trying significantly to fine tune this Eladwen ever since I cracked a foil one. I suppose its a Burn/Control deck. I need some other opinions to check it out if ya guys dont mind!

Eladwen + 39 cards
Allies
4x Jasmine
4x Kris
3x Aldon
3x Priest of the Light
4x Chamipon of Irum
3x Tainted Oracle

Spells
4x Fireball
4x Lightning Strike
3x Supernova
2x Consuming Fear
2x Ley Line Nexus

Items
3x Tome of Knowledge


I'm rating 225 so Im making my way up not too bad, was a little shaky when first playing this deck. Anyone have any advice to help me out?

[Keaven]

-2 Voice of Winter

+1 Tome of Knowledge
+1 Consuming Fear

[JUSTICAR]

you can try...

-2 Voice of Winter
-1 Tome of Knowledge

+3 Bad Santa

to easily draw your way through your most needed burn cards.

[Zoki]

Try using Tainted Oracle as your secondary draw engine. Your biggest lack with deck is only 3 draw engine cards (3 Tome of Knowledge), try get around 6-8 draw cards.

[FlippyDoo]

So I can take out 2x Voice of Winter for Tainted Oracle (not Bad Santa because it can save games however i feel that the moment to use it is too specific) but yet that leaves me with 1 card left to take out and Im kind of in a rut. Should I take out a Supernova? That leaves me with less board control and cant really deathrace them if i need to. I think Im going to try removing 1 Consuming Fear for 1 more Tainted Oracle.

You want to play aggressive yet you play passive cards like Jas and Tome.


I'm also curious about why you play Priest of the Light here.

[Shyntoll]

I play with a similar Elad, but some cards are just too passive, then I changed for a more aggressive one. Still testing this deck.

Elad +39 Cards

4x Kristoffer Wyld
3x Puwen Bloodhelm
2x Champion of Irum
3x Aldon the Brave
2x Layarian Seductress
3x Fleet-footed Messenger
3x Tainted Oracle
2x Artful Squire / Ley Line Nexus - I'm testing the Artful for now.
3x Rider of Ellos

4x Fireball
4x Lighting Strike
2x Supernova
4x Bad Santa

I thjnk a control elad wants needs dagger of unmaking, consuming fear and jasmine. Also, no bs for draw, TO, ToK, and TH are ur best bet. I myself get by in my rush elad with 4x bs, 3x honored dead.

Control - 4 kris, -2 champ, - 1 TO,
+ 3 puwen, + 2 dagger of unmaking, +1 ToK, + 1 consuming fear

jasmine is passive? she is one of the most aggressive allies in the game. 3 attack and can hold of another ally. yes, you can consider her ability as control or even passive but add in the 3 attack and she is very aggressive.

I thought about it a bit afterwards and I see Jas in a bit of a better light (as in she's way better than Priest) but when we compare Jas to Lightning Strike (or to other t4 plays), she falls a bit short.

Lightning Strike deals 3, might kill a guy and if it did kill a guy, it allows you to bash his face for some more and in the worst case situation where you waste damage by killing an ally with your own, you still deal at least 3.

With Jas you use 2 resources (which means it's pretty likely that you might not have a play after that), don't kill a guy but you are most likely allowed to bash his face. The opposing ally is alive and chances are you dealt the same amount of damage as with a Lightning Strike. However, if you managed to play a Bad Santa or, preferably, a 2cc threat (that isn't just suiciding there), then Jas is probably a bit better.



What I didn't consider at first was t5. If you keep your Jas alive and not disabled when you get your 5th turn, she can have a massive influence because if you can sac to 5 and have enough cards (mainly only possible if you played Jas ability + BS t4, otherwise chances are you don't sac to 5) you can Jas ability a guy, bash with your guys and Fireball his face for massive damage.


So, the question is, how can we, as aggro players, keep Jas alive until t5 when she can actually have a massive influence? Especially going second when aggro can't afford to stay defensive.
