Looks good grim, although I like having scourge collosus for its effect. I also noticed you don't have any nova's.

Finally in my deck I opted to take out any 2cc ally's and I put in 2 consuming fears.

Great suggestions Yvan, I would prefer Scourge Collosus as well but you know how hard it is to get them so it wouldn't be a deck for everyone then. I never have an issue with field control so Supernova's wasn't a must and I although Consuming Fears is a nice touch for defense I prefer to use Ironhide for early aggression. Although I do use Consuming Fears in my Gravebone deck, just not in my Portal.

Yes I agree. Just never seemed to have much use for karash. I seem to always prefer playing tome or bad Santa turn 2. Comes dibs to preference.

i must disagree, karash is most likely the best t2 play, tome is great but i mostly play it when i am short on options and have 5-6 ressources so i can use the ability and play a 3cc on the same turn if i draw it, look it that way: if you play tome on t2 and have a DTM on hand or any other t3 ally you will play it right? so no use for the tome skill untill you are out of options for the rush, you need to be the agressor and i see the majiya portal like a beatdown deck so i also dont see use for consuming fear there.

I like playing Tome of Knowledge on Turn 4 if I don't have a Portal in hand. It gives me an instant draw, otherwise I can't use it on turn 2 and need an ally on turn 3 (especially if I did not play one on Turn 2), so playing Tome of Knowledge earlier on can be a tempo lose so I rather play Karash.

[GuiFG]

thats right and having a tome on the field not using its skill also lets your opp. destroy it before you ever draw.

...i supose u don't face many Elementals, as playing against them Minotaur will almost always be a dead draw unless u can play him via Portal for an immediate kill. otherwise u're taking the risk of getting it Mind-fooked and u take 8dmg right into the face. this is the reason i also prefer Scourge

Yes I have ran into some Elementals decks and completely agree to with you. Both Elementals and some Hunter decks (especially Gwenneth) are big weak spots for this deck. It is still a solid deck overall and that will have a high win ratio. No deck is perfect after all in the game of Shadow Era, and that's what makes the game so addicting. We all chase after something that doesn't exist, lol.

Scourge is a great card and highly recommend players to replace Minotaurs with it but designed the deck so any player can play it since legendary cards are really hard to obtain and not a lot of players have them.

...well, hard is as hard does ))))) as long as you have 20-30k worth of gold on your account, just go and play Meltdown for one week - if you are decent player and manage to place in Top10, u get 2x legendary (foil!) plus all your gold back with roughly 30-40% profit - it can be slightly different depending on your win-rate though

...that's how i got my first 2x Foils Scourges - placed 6th in weekly Meltdown...then, i got 3rd from booster, also foil (i know - a lucky bastard i am)))))
