I called this deck "BAD", because it's bad and needs many advice!

[Sir Bhleg]

CAUTION: This is NOT a recommended deck.

"BAD"

[Hero]
Baduruu

[Allies]
4 x Ironhide Karsh
4 x Infernal Gargoyle
3 x Death Mage Thddeus
3 x Plasma Behemoth
4 x Shadow Knight

[Abilities]
3 x Poison Arrow
2 x The Perfect Shot
4 x Sacrificial Lamb
1 x Shriek of Vengeance
1 x Acid Jet
1 x Sever Ties

[Items]
4 x Grundler's Double
2 x Soul Seeker
4 x Wrath of the Forest

Total 40 cards + Hero + Yari Spearman Sleeve <- Match Baduruu Alt Art very well!


What am I thinking?
I was playing with Banebow before Baduruu, somehow I was a bit bored and would like try something new.
Baduruu is the one I didn't try before. Baduruu is famous and good at playing with resource control play style, but
I would like to play in a different way. (I'm always trying not to follow the major path...)

The basic concept behind this deck is taking the advantage of the free bows, it allows me to do the quick setup.
I dun know how to describe. (Please forgive my poor English). So, I would like to explain my idea with simulations:
Case for going first:
T1- Nth
T2- IK/ PA
T3- IG/ DMT
T4- WotF
T5- PB + GD

Case for going second (I prefer go second when playing this deck):
T1- Nth
T2- IK/ PA
T3- IG/ DMT
T4- WotF + GD

The setup and play style is very similar to most of the Banebow deck.
The main difference is I got an extra bow on T4/ T5 to help me controlling the board,
plus the draw is pretty stable as long as I got WotF and GD on board:
The ally was killed, I gain a card.
I played a lonely ally. I gain a card from GD at first, and gain another one as it was killed.

This helps me to build up resources faster without skipping the sac phase. Keep on rolling PB and SK in mid-game,
and a finally all-in when I have enough resource: about 11 I think.
In late game, it could be cool to cast 2x3cc + 1x5cc + 1 free bow/ 2x5cc + 1 free bow in a turn.

To summarize what I have said, that's nth new there actually...LOL


Why including those 1x Card (and I know it's better to have 2 copies of them)?
Item destruction is somehow not the first thing to do in this deck, and most of the time I would ignore them.
In addition, I dun have enough space for them...the main problem...


Problem of this deck faced:
1. Bow got destroyed on T5. Although the bow comes free, without bow in hand, Baduruu will cry...VERY LOUDLY...
2. A noraml Banebow simply got the upper hand against this deck.
3. Hard to come back once losing board control, even I have PA and TPS, still not enough to take the board back.
and...many problems up-coming!


I really need help in this deck. It's my honor to receive any advice/ suggestion! Thanks for reading!

Honestly you've got a half decent backbone there. The issue with Baduruu is that he is difficult to play effectively, and takes practice.

My suggestions would be:

-2 Sac Lamb (You really don't need that much draw)
-1 Poison Arrow
-1 Shadow Knight
-3 Plasma Behemoth

+1 Soul Seeker
+1 Perfect Shot
+2 Morbid Acolyte
+3 Furrion Terror (great with your bow to deal with nasty 5 health allies)

Can't believe there's no Fire Snake in your BAD deck!

OMG, the legendary Preybird reply my post!

I agree I really dun need that much draw, but in other aspect, I use SL to free those CB/ CP allies since it would affect the draw from GD. I would try that out!

Would it be a tempo loss to cast TPS instead of PA? Like in T6, opp cast any 5cc ally,
I play a TPS, I finish that ally, but cannot expand my board. Using PA can let me cast one more ally on board.

MA is very nice ally, I didn't use him becoz I dun have enough space, I will try to free some space for him.

For FT, it really helps me to kill those 5 health when I have a bow in hand, but the problem is, he can't stand more than 1 turn, plus he burns friendly ally too...but still, why not try that out?

Many thanks for your suggestion!

If FS is included, this deck isn't BAD at all, and it should be named, "The GOD deck". LMAO

But you really aren't going to need more than 2 Poison Arrow in a single game especially if you are dropping allies on the field. I would up the TPS count because there are enough allies being played with decent health and since Baduruu can bring in a weapon almost at will, you will not lose much tempo in the process. So I would recommend trying out 2 Poison Arrow and 3 The Perfect Shot.

^ Exactly what Peith said.

In regards to the Furrion Terror bit, every ally in the deck bar Karash can cope with the hit, plus Terror can really level a playing field when played at the right time. He also goes through protector, turn 7 can combine with Poison arrow, and in late game can combo with APS to really hit home.

Furrion Terror also kills off your own weakened allies to feed Wrath and allow you to bring them back around with Shadow Knight. He does so much for Shadow Hunters.

Also.. I'm very flattered

Base on the suggestion, I tuned my deck as below:
-3 x PB
-2 x SL
+3 x FT
+1 x TPS

2 x SL replaced with 2 x MA, so far there was no draw problem ATM.

FT really help to clean the board, but without PB, I was almost hopeless when facing Solo DC.

With the help of FT, I used PA a few times, but didn't use TPS as there isn't a fatty worth to use.
(Luckily didn't meet any Aeon, Sandworm yet...)

I found that I was in trouble when facing 2 continuously PotL drop in early game...

You guys really help a lot, thanks!
Too bad I only play on phone, cannot set up non-rated game to test the deck on IRC. LOL

I believe there are a couple of apps that allow you to get on irc. You will not be able to have both Shadow Era and the IRC up at the same time though.

IRC on phone?

[Preybird]

IRC on phone?

Yarp. Android has AndChat and iPhone has Colloquy (I think that's how it's spelt)
