    Darkclaw deck.. Help?

    Hi! I'm a newbie here, and I play Darkclaw, what is the main strategy of playing Darkclaw? can anybody help me? This is my current deck:

    ==Hero==
    -Darkclaw x1

    ==Shadow Allies==
    -Deathbone x3
    -Keldor x2
    -Infernal Gargoyle x3
    -Brutalis x2
    -Plasma Behemoth x2
    -Bad Wolf x2

    ==Wulven Allies==
    -Wolf Pack x4

    ==Wulven Abilities==
    -Captured Prey x3
    -Now You're Mine x3
    -Speedstrike x1
    -What Big Teeth x2
    -Regeneration x2
    -Full Moon x1
    -Lone Wolf x1

    ==Neutral Abilities==
    -Here Be Monsters x1
    -Shadowspawn x1
    -Rain Delay x1
    -Extra Sharp x2
    -Bazaar x1

    ==Neutral Weapons==
    -Jeweler's Realm x1
    -Wrath of the Forest x1

    Yeah I know, my deck sounds dumb, that's cause i'm still a newbie, so I hope you pros could help me out. I'm thinking on a Lone Wolf strategy which uses less Allies and more Wulven Abilities like: Rabid Bite, Lone Wolf, Speedstrike, etc. Well, I appreciate all your opinions, please help, thanks!

    Do you need a 40 card deck or a 30 card deck?

    I'll choose 40, it's quite risky using 30, though there is no deck milling strategy yet

    I saw that, Darkclaw's strategy quite slow but deadly. In early games, usually the player has less monster and depends on What Big Teeth. But in the late game, powerful monsters swarms the battlefield easily. I thought it will need much resource, but why did you guys use Shriek of Vengeance? Cause there are no item destroyer?

    Shriek is useful if you want to destroy a particularly bothersome weapon like Berserker's Edge or an armor like Armor of Ages and if you want to slow your opponent to a crawl by destroying his Research (not so effective in case of Majiya) or Bazaar (if they play it). In the case of cards like Bazaar and Research you need to destroy them when your opponent has the minimal number of cards in his hand to make it the most effective or you can just let it be and let him deck himself a little faster

    Yeah, somebody did that once to me using Ter Adun, destroyed my Bazaar, so he drew and i didn't. If my opponent have it on early turns and casts it right away, should I destroy it or let it be? If I use Shriek of Vengeance I will lose a resource and act more slower-cause many Shadow's card cost are 3 and above. If I let it be, he will draw two cards in the next turn, which accelerates them.

    If you're playing a deck like Drakkon or myself suggested than you can probably let it be. In any case it's never a good idea to shriek it early, if you want to shriek it do so when you have at least 6 or more resources. But ultimately, there isn't some universal rule when you absolutely, positively need to shriek Bazaar and similar cards and you'll just have to approach each opponent you play against differently and see how the match progresses before you can make that decision. If you feel like the match is going in your favor and that you have all the necessary cards in your hand to counter anything he throws at you, then shriek it, otherwise leave it be until you feel you're in a more favorable position.
