    Boris 285 rated field control suggestions

    Hero: Boris Skullcrusher

    Allies (11):

    3x Stalwart Battleguard
    4x Sorcerer of Endia
    4x Yari Marksman

    Abilities (30):

    4x Crippling Blow
    4x Retreat!
    4x Bad Santa
    4x Smashing Blow
    4x Blood Frenzy
    2x Enrage
    4x Enslave the Beast
    4x Reserve Weapon

    Items (8):

    2x Jewelers Dream
    3x Lythian Sledgehammer
    4x Rothems Visage

    Its an interesting deck, but takes too much turns to cause serious damange to the opponent with Rothems and his ability of haste with Stalwart and Lythian with Reserve Weapon its kind of powerfull and leaves the opponent in trouble the next turn, also i can recycle my yari and sorcerer with retreat and destroy abilities or allies, my thoughts are this deck its vulnerale if the opponent take the blood frenzy or Enrage, also if he can eliminate the tons of attachments for the allies.

    PD: Maybe you are asking why i didnt replace blodd frenzy for confluence of fate, but thats because the deck its really slow and if the opponent doesnt play with too much allies, the deck become so vulnerable, i replace this and became faster, im really opened for suggestions, im kind of new in this game but i love it.

    I think that shadow warriors are better at this kind of playstyle for several reasons:

    They have Evil Ascendant and Furrior Terror which helps a lot to deal with opponents allies and also allows you to to go for the face with weapons.
    They have Falseblood cultist which doubles as draw and also as a way to get to your weapons faster. You can discard a hammer with cultist on t4 and then use Reserve Weapon to get the weapon on t5.
    They have Shadow Knights which are great with Visage, you can also loop other allies like Furriorns and Marksman. Alternatively there is Arthyles Crypt.

    Only thing humans have over shadow is Lily to cycle Reserve Weapon. I would recommend adding her.
    Another good ally to consider, especially if you are using Vess is Braxnorian Veteran to cycle your attachments.

    Whichever faction you go for Jewelers Dream is poor choice of a weapon. Its suitable for tempo styles of play but you are going for more of a control style. Replace it with Berserkers Edge or Dragons Tooth or War Flail. Healing is a must and only Enrage is too unreliable. I recommend some split between Enrage and Rampage. If you add Veterans then Yari Mantle is also good. Also some old builds used Snow Saphire to stall allies.

    For some inspiration:
