    [SD Offspring] Cemetery Gates: Ghostmaker Threbin

    SHADOW ROCKERS DECK

    Song: Cemetery Gates
    Artist: Pantera
    Album: Cowboys from Hell (1990)


    "Reverend, reverend
    Is this some conspiracy?
    Crucified for no sins
    An image beneath me
    What's within our plans for life
    It all seems so unreal
    I'm a man cut in half in this world
    Left in my misery"


    Hero: Threbin the Righteous

    Allies (21):
    4x Devoted Knight
    3x Eternal Troll
    3x Armored Packbeast
    2x Lily Rosecult
    4x Tainted Oracle
    3x Elizabeth Winterborn
    2x Darkwood Panther

    Abilities (11):
    3x Glimmer of Hope
    4x Focused Prayer
    4x Tidal Wave

    Items (7):
    4x Ghostmaker
    3x The King's Pride

    Deck Code: 1033465B

    This deck relies on casting defensive allies turns 3 and 4, Tidal Wave turn 5 and Ghostmaker turn 6, which, with Threbin's ablity, will bring back the two allies from your graveyard.
    Turn 7 The Kings Pride would be the perfect card in order to let you finish the game fast.

    As a combo deck I did as much as I could to trim it to 40 cards, to maximize the chances of drawing the key cards, specially wave Turn 5.

    Eternal Troll and Packbeast are there mostly to give you time to draw the key cards.
    Oracle and Elizabeth to be your draw cards, so you won't need Glass Chalice or anything else.
    Glimmer of Hope works not only to allow you to dig Wave and Ghostmaker faster, but also allows you to put allies in graveyard, in the order you want them to be reanimated.
    Panther and Lily are mostly alllies for late game, depending on the situation you're facing.
    Devoted Knight helps you when going second vs fast decks, when you might need to accelerate Wave (turn 4) and Ghostmaker (turn 5). You will often, though, want to sacrifice him and cast only late, already with TKP on the field.

    The deck works really nicelly vs many buildings, and you can adapt your style facing rush, control and combo decks with it.

    I've tried probably all allies possible, and the other ones I liked a bit were: Braxnorian Soldier, Earthern Protector, Erika Shadowhunter and Armored Sandworm, but as all of them are 5cc I decided to give up about them, as I want to have two allies on grave after the first Tidal Wave, for a better reanimate turn 6.

    Ghostmaker Threbin is my guilty pleasure in SE. There is something special in reanimator type decks. Thanks for posting!

    I've enjoyed this deck, but i thought i'd tweak it a bit to my own liking. Here's my version:

    Hero: Threbin the Righteous

    Allies (22):
    4x Devoted Knight ~120g
    3x Eternal Troll ~900g
    3x Armored Packbeast ~200g
    3x Lily Rosecult ~230g
    4x Tainted Oracle ~450g
    3x Elizabeth Winterborn ~510g
    2x Erika Shadowhunter ~390g

    Abilities (8):
    4x Focused Prayer ~100g
    4x Tidal Wave ~210g

    Items (9):
    2x Glass Chalice of Knowing ~120g
    4x Ghostmaker ~400g
    3x The King's Pride ~670g

    40 cards ~ 13870g


    Glimmer didn't feel right for me, since i need my guys on the board more than in the grave. I tend to play this more aggressively anyway.
    Erika Shadowhunter is in because her stealth is permanent.
    Glass Chalice of Knowing is there for some consistent drawing, even with Elizabeth Winterborn and Tainted Oracle coming and going on the board.
    Ghostmaker + Eternal Troll is just too much fun.

    Erika shadow hunter is trash in the current meta because every deck is running with stun turret. i prefeer put armored sandworm or fortified wisp instead, they reduce damage by 2 always which is still soemthing more welcome for me
