Nishaven electric homunculus deck help.

[CAUSSES UNKOWN]

hi im trying to create a new deck that's based on electric damage and i haven't really found anything. the idea is to use Voltar's Ring to pump up allies and abilities this is just a rough draft and wanted some feedback on what you guys think. open for any suggestions i haven't been able to test this deck yet but really looking forward to it.



hero
Nishaven

allies (21)
4 x Cinderborn Fatebreaker
4 x Aetherborn Wisp
4 x Fortified Wisp
4 x Thunderous Golem
3 x Thunderstrike Construct
2x Viska, The Scarlet Blade


(8 abilities)
4 x Glimmer of Hope
4x Lightning Strike

(18 Items)
3 x Amulet of Conjuring
4 x Abomination Factory
4 x Splicer's Crown
4x Voltar's Ring
3 x Dagger of Fate

[Ganjamus]

I would probably remove Dagger because it's a pretty big tempo loss without free discard... Unless of course you don't plan on using it until T5 onwards with Glimmer. The way the deck is right now it seems like you would want to play Voltar's ring T5 after you get some board presence. The problem with that is that T4 HAS to be used to play your draw engine or otherwise you will have an empty hand. Amulet kills your SE which is very problematic for Nish in a deck like this that relies on his ability.

I believe that by trying to mix discard, homunculus AND electric damage, the deck is doomed to fail. Almost half of your deck is items which means very inconsistent ally draws.

Aramia does Homunculus + discard better because she can play cards like dagger and factory for free T3. I think it'd be best to remove the discard aspect of this deck for some control options. Or just remove it altogether since the deck is a little too fat with only one draw engine (GoH is just a big cantrip).

I think the Golem + Nish combo has been tried before. The problem with it is it's not really that strong a buff considering that Nish rarely gets to activate his ability. I get what you're going for with the growing homunculus thing, but Ganjamus is right - Aramia does it way better. The other hero that can pull this off well is Gravebone. Golem just isn't that great a card, and Nishaven is one of the weaker heroes - it's possible to play him well but you need a very well-tuned deck and a lot of skill/luck.

[Ganjamus]

Nishaven isn't THAT weak. His ability can play mind games with your opponent. Here's a good example of what Nishaven can do: http://www.shadowera.com/showthread....shadow-crystal!

Golem isn't necessarily a bad card, it's just hard to activate every turn since there are only 3 ways for your hero to do electric damage: Lightning Strike, Static Shock and Nishaven's ability.

LS is mana intensive, Static is really weak and Nish's ability takes forever to wind up.

I seem to be doing pretty well with this set up, however, I still feel I need to tweak what items I include as well as some of the abilities. Let me know what you guys think. I'm fairly new to all this.

...there are only 3 ways for your hero to do electric damage: Lightning Strike, Static Shock and Nishaven's ability.

Violet Thunderstorm
Shock Conductor

The nice thing about violet with golem is that you can potentially give him a buff on your enemy's turn, if you ss or ls someone and then are attacked.
