Majiya 1.25

[N3rd4Christ]

Hello,

I have updated the deck after doing major testing now that 1.25 is live.

Updated: 4/16/2011

Hero: Majiya

Allies:
4x Infernal Gargoyle
4x Chimera
4x Plasma Behemoth

Abilities/Items:
3x Shriek
3x Research
4x Fireball
4x Lightning Strike
2x Supernova
1x Snow Sapphire

Updated: 4/16/2011 - The current debate i have is getting rid of 4 Chimeras but i just cant think of a what to replace them with. Im thinking:

-4 Chimeras
+1 Research
+1 Shreek
+1/1 - 2 ???

I have noticed that using sapphire slows the deck down quite a bit. 6 resourcess used on snow sappire could be used better on say Lightning strike/research or 2x fireball. Sapphire seems to slow down the deck hence i only use once and i often drop it late game when i alrady have full controll of the board. Helps with letting the opp attack reducing the attack by 2 while i focus on hitting their hero.

Seems a little high on resources. That said I like it.

Why not Bad wolf instead of Gargoyle ?

I don't like supernova which such heavy/expensive allies.

Gargoyle lasts longer.

[Reshiram99]

And nova? Get four of those. You don't necessarily need to play them all.

What with the inability to have more than one Research in play at a time in 1.25, I'd say yes, cut the count down to three.

I see you're running a few more allies than I would prefer for Majiya. Then again, with the nerfs to the Elementals, it might be a bit more viable, so I guess that's okay.

Why not Bad wolf instead of Gargoyle ?

I don't like supernova which such heavy/expensive allies.

Infernal Gargoyle is much sturdier than Bad Wolf, making it a much better choice, even if it has a slightly lower attack value.

You're obviously only going to be playing Supernova when it benefits you more than it does your opponent.

I agree with Ice, 3 research is enough

2 shriek is fine imo.

The only reason for Majiya to run shriek is to disable an opponent drawing power (bazzar) mid-late game and probably to stop beetle bow from spawning a 3/5 ally. *edit* did not realise that you are running an ally heavy majiya deck, which in that case, running 3 shrieks would be a better choice.

I have seen games where players effectively killed themselves by spamming shriek early game not realising that the resource advantage is towards my favour.

I would recommend supernova to 4, but since you are running an ally heavy Majiya, 2 should be sufficient

Why medusil instead of bad wolf?

So, after the update, majiya will be running allies? I love ally-less deck or few (max 6 allies) deck

[Reshiram99]

Medusil is going to be sooooo overpowered, so yes, replace bad wolf with her.

Medusil, is AWESOME. Arguably as good as Gargoyle. She's not as sturdy of a body, but she's a beast for board control. I prefer Majiya as Aggro/Burn myself. Not quite like this, but it looks solid enough.
