I'm thinking of making a Ghostmaker deck and wanted to get some thoughts from you folks.
I was thinking I could negate the disadvantage of ghostmaker a bit by choosing allies that would still be decent even with 1 health. Here is what I came up with...
Magma Jackal - This guy kills opposing creature when he dies. So, low health isn't much of a drawback. He dies to most everthing anyway.
Cobra Demon - You'll at least get one damage and poison in before he dies to an opponent ally.
Dark Flayer - He all ready had 1 health. And his defender works pretty well.
Rust Weevil - The counterpart to Magma Jackal. Should be in because weapons will be your biggest pita.
Wulven Savage - Decks that struggle to deal with his ability at 2 health will still struggle with him at 1 health. Will give extra punch against weapon decks along with Weevil.
(Death Bone and Molten Demon are possibilities but, didnt' seem to have the bang for the buck of the rest)
Then I was thinking you could go one of two ways
1 - Shard of Power and just try to be offensive
or
2 - Breastplate of Vitality and try to negate more of the downside of Ghostmaker.
Seems to me that either or maybe even both in combination might be good. Not sure of the interaction. I think I prefer just using Shard of Power But, open to opinions.
Then some draw. You could go a few different ways here. I hate giving my opponent cards so I'd probably choose antimatter. And since Ghostmaker is so vital to my strategy I might include a couple Master Smiths.
Oh, and no elemental deck is complete without 4 mind control.
So...
1 - Zaldar
Allies
----------------
4 Rust Weevil (anti - weapon/armor)
4 - Wulven Savage (anti-weapon/armor)
4 - Dark Flayer (combo's well with Shard of power)
4 - Magma Jackal (anti-creature)
4 - Cobra Demon (combo's well with Shard of Power)
Draw
--------------
4 - Antimatter
2 - Sacrificial Lamb
Utility

4 - Mind Control
4 - Shard of Power

2 - Master Smith
Well, what do you think? Any good?
