    Banebow Control

    Hello all, this is my first time posting in the forums. Haven't been playing Shadow Era long but I'm definitely getting way into this game. I have an extensive background in MTG and dabbling in a couple other CCGs as well but the mechanics of SE are different then I'm used to. So here is the Banebow deck I'm currently playing, I have a 201 rating so far and I'm looking for any constructive criticism on how I can make this better.

    (EDITED)
    HERO
    Banebow

    ALLIES (X19)
    X3 Death Mage Thaddeus
    X3 Shadow Knight
    X3 Death Collector
    X2 Furrion Terror
    X3 Rampant Krygon
    X3 Venomflame Archer
    X2 Murderous Hulk

    ABILITIES (X17)
    X2 Shriek of Vengeance
    X2 Acid Jet
    X2 Sacrificial Lamb
    X4 The Perfect Shot
    X3 Hunter's Gambit
    X1 Ley Line Nexus
    X3 Mark of the Feared

    ITEMS (X3)
    X3 Soul Seeker

    TOTAL (39+HERO)

    New rank so far: 253

    I would use
    Hunter's Gambit +4
    Wrath of the Forest -3
    Perfect Shot -2
    Rampant Krygon +1

    Maybe dropping 1 or 2 Soul Seeker, you will rarely need 4 in a game. I personally use 2 Infernal Gargoyle, against some strategy they are invaluable. Or you could drop the Ley Line Nexus, 3 acid jet is enough I feel.

    But overall it's solid you have a good deck that will offer a good challenge against most decks.

    Welcome to Shadow Era and the forums lobotomist! Your deck looks pretty solid, the only suggestion I have is maybe remove some of your item destruction and work in more card draw.

    -1 Acid Jet
    -1 Ley Line Nexus
    +2 Hunter's Gambit

    Hunter's Gambit has very good synergy with the ping damage in your deck (Banebow, DMT and FT) and Perfect Shot.

    Looks fairly solid as a newcomer. However, your item destruction is a little bit too heavy. I would go either Ley Line Nexus or Acid Jet. I prefer the latter as it deals with most threats LLN deals with and more.

    -2 LLN
    -1 Acid Jet (2 should be enough if you use them right)
    -1 Furrion Terror (3 Should be enough. Works fine for me)
    +4 Infernal Gargoyle (Very important and MvP in Mirror Match and Zaladar)

    I was thinking about the gargoyles but after just playing a match with zaladar and I can see where they'd come in handy. And I do find myself sacrificing the Ley line nexus most games :/

    Uour call there I personally find that with SL and HG you will have enough draw. WotF give you a tempo lost and can be easily worked around if you get crippled allies or vs a weapon, hasted allies, cheap item destruction, most deck have a way to deal with, HG and SL are sure draw. WotF is not a consistent draw.

    Just drop the Ley Line Nexus. You would probably use Acid Jet 99.99% of the time for the same stuff. Like a Soul Seeker, Anklebreaker etc. The only time Ley Line might be better is that it can 1 hot higher durability armors/weapons like King's Pride or Armor of Ages. There are some items in which Acid Jet does not deal with that Ley Line Nexus can is something like Reserve Weapon. However, it probably would not stay on the field very long for you to even use it to destroy it.

    Sorry Dartak but I find that WotF allows me to keep pressure up even if some of my allies die. I did make a couple changes such as switching the ironhides which were just early game fodder for morbid acolytes which help when I have to play against worms and wulven decks.

    Wrath of the Forest costs a lot and doesn't attack. That's why I think it's one of the first cards to go.
