One of my favorite decks and hero I like to play, this deck explores the useful and wide-ranging tools that Lance has.

A look at the Allies first:

2 cc:

NS: super vs warriors. It's hard to kill, making it an excellent early ally and because it stays on the board for so long, Assassination becames a viable card as a source of ally control.

Rex: LOL, go steal your opponent's stuff. LOL.

Puwen: super when going first, combos well with Aldon/TH to kill opponent's puwen/IK. Irum can be killed with TH (not aldon).

Irum: probably the best t2 drop when going second. Since he is unique, 1 of him as a tech is good.

3 cc:

Jasmine Rosecult: Best all around 3 cc ally - combos well with Lance's ability.

Aldon the Brave: The unique war banner carrier - when you have a flood of allies, he is guy you want to seal the deal and win the game.

Fleet-footed Messenger: combos well with Assassination and helps you filter your cards in hand; change out extra IGGs/STs for more allies/weapons.

Layarian Seductress: combos with POL with Vozitian Orders to create the famous Vozitian Loop. Your opponent will cry. Superb 'going-second' ally.

Priest of the Light: Sedu is better going second; POL is better going first; combos with TH/Aldon to kill your opponent's T3, 4 life ally. Use the Vozitian Loop to kill millstalkers.

Night Owl: Love the stealth and draw mechanic.

4 cc:

Lily Rosecult - Brings back your black garb, ABs, IGG, Spelleater, SWEEEEEET. Oh yeah, use the Vozitian Loop too.

Rider of Ellos - Amber/Badu's Bane. Superb going second ally due to his 4 attack.

Tainted Oracle - One of the draw cards. You can even use Lance ability on him to do a finishing blow

Artful Squire - Just like TO, he can be use with Lance ability; has the flexibility of an ally. What good is 4 ST in hand?

5 cc and more:

Raven Wildheart: The Cotc staple: use her with Lance's ability

Earthen Protector: Going first, he does 4 dmg with Lance's abilty on T5 and yeah; t5 EP, T6 Aeon. Almost GG for your opponent. (unless he has some super board wipe)

Braxnorian Soldier: Makes Portal Maj and Haste Boris operate like patsies.

Aeon Stormcaller: The Chieftain - boost your allies; protect them.

The rest of the cards:

Assassination/Black Garb/Retreat!/Anklebreaker - your ally control. Black garb can replace a T3 ally drop.

Stop, Thief! - takes out pesky items, combos with IGG of course.

A Legend Rises - removes CP on your Aeon/Raven, allowing them to attack/use abilities on the same turn you cast sever. and yes, the 2 atk boost is oh so sweet....

Sever Ties - use this mainly for BF/Rapid fire - but of course, if you can gain a large avantage when using it on allies, go ahead!

Bad Santa - for the Santa Bomb and in late game to grab a clutch card to swing or win the game.

Treasured Heirloom - combos with puwen/aldon - also acts like a draw card, hey, do not discount the extra 1 attack boost! It could make the difference.

Ill-Gotten Gains - one of the best draw engines in the same. Remember that Lily can bring it back if it dies.

Vozitian Orders: The LOOP. Recycle your POL, Lily, Sedu, Crippled allies, FFM.

Spelleater Bands: To deal with Lance's banes: Elad super-fast rush and Zal. And yes, Lily can bring it back from graveyard too. The 1 def armor at 6 dura could make a difference in close games.

That's it! I hope you have fun with the deck as much I have!

[Conquestadore]

Seems to be a solid build.

[Conquestadore]

for a 'only 1 copy per card tourney' yes.

BANNED for 4x AB and 4x IGG!

[Raphael Majere]

BANNED for 4x AB and 4x IGG!

lol, well, this is a "competitive" deck!

Just for reference, Lance is a not a great hero choice for 'only 1 copy per card tourney'.

....LoL - i think Mr.Raph simply wanted to have 'foil-only' deck and didn't have enough folis to make "usual" Lance ))))))

...now, on the serious note - thanks for sharing this Raphael, i have tried few games with this deck and seems more solid than some of the "usual" ones out there - well done! also, i believe this is good 'learning' deck as it forces you to know your opponent well so that you can make the right sac choices since you dont have those "spare copies"

This deck is also a study. To personally learn what cards work better with lance. The truth is that all of them are good, but obviously a 60 card deck won't work, so sacrifices have to be made. And yes, you are right, it's a challenging deck to play and it's really fun.
