Banebow Attrition

[nikcansmash]

This deck used to be exclusive to the tj forums, but since I left, I thought I'd put it here for feedback. It is the most optimal ravager build I've found in my own testing. Its actually a hybrid ravager/undead build, which has tons of synergy. Its pretty good at destroying just about anything on the board.

Banebow attrition
***HERO***
Banebow

***Allies (19)***
4x Deathbone
3x Death Mage Thaddeus
2x Death Collector
3x Spitfire Hound
4x Ravager Zealot
3x Murderous Hulk

***Abilities (6)***
2x Sacrificial Lamb
4x Raven's Gambit

***Items (7)***
3x Obelisk of Echoes
4x Crystal Shards

***Armors (4)***
4x Necromancer's Shroud

***Weapons (4)***
4x Soul Seeker

TOTAL: 40 cards + Hero

I should also mention that soul seekers used to be thoughtrippers, and it was fan-f*cking-tastic.

The most optimal things to "eat" are crystal shards (after you've drawn two and your opp only 1) or necromancers shroud after returning one of your undeads so it stays in play. Also, you can eat gambit in a pinch, allowing you to draw two cards.

Enjoy!

Oh and deathbone is amazing at taking out big allies by recurring it with shroud and suiciding it.

ill try it out and tell you what i find

[lauki]

this may be bug, but as far as i can see if you destroy the armor after resurrecting a guy, the guy dosnt die at the end of your turn

[nikcansmash]

Not a bug, what happens is that the card causing the sacrifice effect is removed from the play area before its ability is needed met. Thus it stays in play. Make sense? I actually posted this when I first found it, because I thought the same, and this is the response I received. Hope its what you wanted to hear!

cool, makes ravagers extremely rarely better lol

[lauki]

this deck is amazingly fun and i highly recommend it to anyone who is ok with puking during the first 2 games

plausible changes:
--------------------------------------------
-1 spitfire
+1 death collector
-1 obelisk of echos
+1 ley line nexus

[nikcansmash]

Obelisk was originally only a two of, but I found when played right against an allied I consistently was able to trigger it.
Spitfire, while being the weak link, is pretty good, being able to eat a shard or shroud and blast a dude, and usually team up with DMT to finish the job. Its also a 2 drop in a pinch.

But if you do change it, lemme know how it goes!

Interesting tricks.
