looks pretty solid!

i personally think -1 nightshade, -1 spelleater bands, -1 sever ties to make a 39 card + hero deck might work to improve your consistency of turn 4 IGG

but if you prefer a 42 card deck then that's fine

i try 3 nightshade with 2 coi, nice idea. for spelleater with mage i need 2 copy, lln is dangerus. 2 sever ties need with darkclaw (speedstrike + lone wolf) or amber (blood frenzy + enrage) and with only 1 there is a risk that doesn't arrive at the right time.

...i quite agree with 2x Sever Ties

especially when u see a lot of warriors. i also perfectly agree that 3x Nightshade

is enough (more than enough), and 2x SeB might seem overkill, but since it helps a ton vs. Mages and a fair bit vs. Zal and BB..as well as ANY hero running Plasma Behemoth

, 2x might be ok....i would eventually maybe cut 1 in case you would b willing to add 1x Lily

(she can act like extra Ankelbreaker, retrieve IGG

or said SeB)

..more than anything though i agree with cutting few cards to make your deck 40 (41 tops) - trust Pat Jay, he does know his math! xD ...and while itmight seem its "only 2-3 cards", it does make a helluva impact on your decks consistency

maybe remove 1x Aldon

, your preferred t3 would be Night Owl

anyway (in most matchups), then u need t4 for IGG

(if u have one already) and t5 for some control (either hasted Raven

or Ankelbreaker)...so 2x Aldon should serve u just fine...i would probably play it safely behing Aeon

i had not thought for only 2 aldon, don't used at the beginning. i agree to SB and ST.

4x Nightshade

was too much, 3x will be fine. You don't need him more than once and you don't want to draw him in the late game.
You don't need Aldon

as t3 drop because you can't kill karash with a buffed Nightshade

/CoI (unless there's another 3cc ally on the board), so it dosn't make a lot of difference as it does for decks that use Puwen

, so it's ok to cut it to 2 copies.
Even if most Lance

do play Assassinate, don't ignore Retreat

which is a solid and flexible alternative most of the times.

**massidato** · 03-06-2014, 11:49 AM

i understand lahiri about aldon, 2 are perfect. i thought also retreat but if i have assassination...i could do split with 2 retreat and 2 assassination.

Maybe I'm blasphemous but 4 Stop Thief

are too much in my opinion. With 3 you should usually get at least one against weapon heroes, while it's not a gamechanging card against mages or Zaladar

, even if they use Tome/Antimatter

, so it's worth a try.
Sever Ties

is not a great card by itself unless you go against a Millstalker, you may try to remove them too unless you find it useful against certain heroes.

...for me the main thing with Stop,Thief is that extra resource it provides, especially early game when u running short on sac-options its super important
