Why so much one offs? Are you using toolbox approach?

@ragosonos
someone recently told me as well to post in that fashion. I'm fairly new to posting decks and writing about it. I hope to write better and cleaner as time goes by. I haven't played this deck in a while. But a I promised a follow up with some explanation in a next article, so i'll try to deliver !

@unruler
indeed. i find amber one of the few heroes in this game where you can play 1 offs because of the speed and versatility it offers because of fleet flooted messenger, frenzy and bad santa. I figured that I almost always go through 75% of my deck during each game. So every card mained is drawn almost every game. Which means I don't have to run a lot of cards multiple times to battle certain matchups

[ragosonos]

happy to hear that

...just a quick question - how does this fair against Zaladar? as much as i like toolbox decks, if he keeps the board clean with ability/FT and targets your 1-ofs (fatties mainly) with MC?
...im really just wondering

[akratch]

Pray tell, how does one play toolbox w/o fetch? Reserve weapon is late game conditional so you probably can draw a card before u need it to fetch.

Fleetfoot is legit, but still not truly fetch.

I am with unruler on questioning the 1-ofs

[Shadow Mann]

I have many decks with plenty of 1-ofs...this looks like a very good build...thanks for sharing.

Against Zaladar my key cards are Kings Pride, 2 Spectral Saber and Lily Rosecult. Spectral to remove my Bloody Frenzy from opponents Zaladar, Kings Pride really makes the difference as your monsters gain the need 1 health to survive field wipes. It also helps racing my opponent when he forsakes the field and calculated damage/SE for game. Lily Rosecult to bring back any of the above mentioned items =]. Lily also helps when my weapon gets shrieked. Zaladar is one of the reasons I choose to run Lily Rosecult over a second Reserve Weapon.

About Zaladars field wipe ablity combined with other cards. It's really mitigating the damage he can do by not summon two or three 4 health allies at once. Since Furrion Terrior + SE Ability is such a threat. This is just an example, but when playing you try not to put yourselve in a position where SE Ability + Furrion Terror means your in topdecking mode.

Games where I don't draw frenzy or Frenzy gets stolen without me having an Spectral Saber are very uphill indeed. Zaladar remains 1 of my toughest matchups.

@akratch
I'm sorry my english isn't that good, I'm not sure what your trying to say. I don't have fetch? And I need to draw before I fetch?

@Shadow Mann
Thanks! I'm trying out 1offs in more decks as we speak, and i'm starting to like it more aswell. The element of surprise and the ability to play a card your opponent didn't consider a "real" play.

Spelleater Bands in Banebow for example, has been working wonders =]
