Solo Darkclaw - He return

[DarksWolf550]

Hello there ! This is my first post on the forum
I've been playing with Solo Darkclaw (My fav' deck :P) since quite some times and this is what I come up with :


Deck List :

***HERO***
Darkclaw

***Abilities (23)***
2x Captured Prey
4x Now You're Mine
3x Speedstrike
2x Regeneration
3x Lone Wolf
2x Bad Santa
4x Blood Moon
3x Thick Hide

***Items (7)***
4x Evil Ascendant
3x Aldmor Accelerator

***Armors (3)***
3x Shadow Armor

***Weapons (6)***
4x What Big Teeth
2x Lythian Sledgehammer

TOTAL: 39 cards + Hero




Deck Analysis

This deck is built with the famous rule of six :

First set is for allies removal:
2x Captured Prey for fatties
4x Now You're Mine for the early game

Second set is for the draw:
2x Bad Santa help to got your attachments
4x Blood Moon early draw, auto include

Third for Weapons :
4x What Big Teeth Darclaw fav's weapon
2x Lythian Sledgehammer secondary weapon, help vs undead/mill and it can't be destruct, ideal for finish move

Fourth for accumulate shadow energy :
3x Shadow Armor this armor is great, thanks to it you can almost use your ability every turns with Speedstrike
3x Aldmor Accelerator / Shadow Font Use the one that you prefere, mine is Aldmor for consistency (I prefere 1 per turn to 3 in a row)

Fifth for survivability :
3x Lone Wolf Regen, auto include
3x Thick Hide counter the drawback of Shadow Armor and Aldmor Accelerator

Sixth to speed the damage to heroes and allies :
3x Evil Ascendant auto include, you know why
3x Speedstrike damage doubler, auto include too

And the remaining 3 cards :
+1 Evil Ascendant because it's great ^^
+2 Regeneration to help with mage

I was thinking add x4 Full Moon, x4 Rain Delay, x4 Bazaar, and some other card to get the deck more versatility.

For the first few turns you'll be like :
T1- Nothing
T2- Blood moon/NYM
T3- Ev Asc/WBT (/NYM)
T4- Sp Str/Lone Wolf
T5+ Set up you're remaining attachments and let grow your SE with Shadow Armor/SF/Aldmor Acc until you hit 9 (with Ald Acc on board) and then go for the hero ! (Warning anyway if you have no Regeneration/Capture Prey in hand, it could be dangerous)


I need some help to get this deck competitive, any comeback is appreciated !

With your great come back I come up with :

***HERO***
Darkclaw

***Abilities (23)***
2x Captured Prey
4x Now You're Mine

2x Vision of Endia

***Items (7)***
4x Evil Ascendant
3x Shadow Font

***Armors (2)***
2x Crescendo

***Weapons (8)***
4x What Big Teeth
2x Lythian Sledgehammer
2x Spectral Sabre / Crescent of Doom / Jeweler's Dream

TOTAL: 40 cards + Hero

I like how you use thick hide.

Instead if more evil ascendant why not try combining it with contaminated water? Guaranteed to waste 3 turns of SE for your enemy or risk having fluffy allies.

I agree with secruoser.

Vision of Endia should work well for weapon based heroes.

But most heroes usually have no use of their se ability against solo darkclaw so CW will be destroy instantly the next turn in most case.

Is this a DP deck? (except for the hammer)

This is actually why I don't use that card, But it could be an interesting choice against some heroes.

This was my old DP deck that I try to update to SF, And now that you say that, There are actually only 2 SF cards :/
But I can't figurate what to replace for what ^^.

You mean these few heroes? Boris, Victor, Nishaven, Eladwen, Logan, Majiya, Garth and Skervox?

You definitely need 4 Speedstrike
