Elementalis – Breeding Pit

[Preybird]

I thought I’d share this deck with you all; it’s huge amounts of fun and very very fast if you get a good opening. I’m sitting around the 300 mark with it at the moment.

Huge props to Veles for the original inspiration.

Fast and Furious

Like Dom Toretto’s Charger this thing takes off like a demon and doesn’t let up. With 7 2cc allies it’s a rare day you haven’t gotten one in your first two turns, and with Elementalis’ ability playing your normally weak discard allies from the hand can yield you thumpers. The health reduction of Reactorarys coming out due to a discard is also mitigated, making them a very dangerous prospect and really an all-star of the deck. Dropping a Reactorary from the discard of a Harbinger on turn 2 is the most satisfying thing.

The one fatty (Stardust Ampliflyer) in the deck is there to supplement the smaller allies. Buffing an Ampliflyer when you have a few allies on the board is insane. I will even do it if there’s only two other allies, as it gives you much more value for your ability’s small attack boost. However as it’s a nice to have and not always a win condition (it can be though) it’s only two copies.

Board Control

Elementalis has it. Seriously.

He’s still a psychotic aggro player at heart, but with hasted allies and direct damage in the form of Devourer Elementalis can actually keep the board under wraps somewhat. Coupled with your buffed allies and strong start you’ll do pretty well. You will however start to wane in later game and this is where your Living Armors, Krygons and Daggers really come into their own, giving you the final push to the finish line if you need it. I have considered Energy Discharge but it’s a rare day that my opponent has enough allies out to make it worthwhile (however it’s gold vs Bloodfang and other Elementalis’).

Basic Strategy

Beatdown.




In all seriousness there’s nothing that complex about the deck. Hit hard, fast and often. Don’t let go of the board. With 25 allies you can bait board wipes (esp. vs Mages) and be sure to have plenty in reserve. Ally flood vs Rogues, Warriors and Hunters and they will have trouble keeping up.

Conclusion

This is such a fun deck, simple to play and absolutely brutal. It can give many decks a lot of headaches and now with all the added Shattered Fates tools Elementalis is more resilient and flexible than previous versions, and that’s a great thing.

For a less aggro and more controlling Elementalis I highly recommend Veles’ Antimatter Reactor deck, which was the inspiration for this deck.

Now, with another ETC posted deck

We will have the ETC syndrome, where the QM will be flooded with people trying this deck..

Same happens after each FDL video

Dropping a Reactorary from the discard of a Harbinger on turn 2 is the most satisfying thing.

I would just quit the game there. This is the most annoying thing in SF

My deck has cooler name

True, but I'd rather be in a breeding pit as opposed to an antimatter reactor

Actually the name came to me because of the old Magic Card. Almost every turn I play an ally, just like Breeding Pit used to.
