Played graveborn in 1.23, where portal + recurring allies are just sick.

Im thinking to replace gargoyle with either bad wolf or deathbone (which now cheaper). Why? Cos i want to make a threat to my opp, make him think, "should i kill the ally first but it will comeback or just leave them alone.... But.. If they are alive, they can give big damage to me or allies"

At least thats how i think when facing graveborn. While i tend to let gargoyle beating me cos it just 2 damage, while if i try to kill him, too much efforts. So why bother? Supernova

will do the job anyway.

Therefor, if i play graveborn, i want my opp to focus on my hero n my allies, thus it can slow them down. Deathbone

eventhogh nerfed, at least can deal 4 damage to aeon n fireball to finish off

Phew, loving the build. Just played against some hunter decks and that bloodlust comes up just in time, every time. I might swap a supernova out for something else as I dont seem to be using them that much.

Supernova

is there actually just to "release" ur beladonna in case she is trapped by (forgot the card name) card that make her become 0 attack or cant attack at all. So when u encounter that situation, u want to kill her instead so u can take her back from graveyard and put into play again

Edit: the cards i mentioned are crippling blow and capture prey

I find the lack of Lightning....disturbing

**Scion** · 04-20-2011, 11:32 AM

Yeah i tried the deck a bit and it's great but i find many times that Lighting would be so nice

@melodia

I'm still playing around with th gravebone slow. Keldor

is likely the only other choice. You'll note that if aeon is in before deathbone he only does 2. Rarely will deathbone deal all 4 dmg. Gargoyle is central because of the sheer pain he proposes to other players. It helps maintain board presence for lust

Also, nova does not just "release" Bella, although it does do that. Nova helps me erase any advantage they might have gotten and do some damage. Another reason why gargoyle and brute are essential. Most players won't let them hang around and they devote a lot of time to kill them. This leaves me ahead of the nova curve. If they leave them in, I'll lust them. So either way they are screwed.

As for lightning, I'm not sure where I'd fit it in. -1 nova would buy me one. But then what? Can't touch the rest for fear of synergy loss. Maybe -1 lust. Hmm.

It's all about having them when you need them. Like fire snake, you won't always need it but you want to make sure you have it in the right situations.
