    My concern about dropping the arrows is that Aeon and friends tend to kill off your allies as you play them, whereas the arrows can cause definite damage to Aeon, and eventually break the lock. Saying that though, I still lost to Carbon's Boris, so maybe an alternative answer is required. The only one I can think of is to never let the lock happen, which would require dealing with their allies quickly and effectively and making sure a Plasma Behemoth is on the field and ready to shoot by turn 6.
    Agreed. Testing arrows now. Will update.

    To add on, arrows will have helped you against lance. Bec though they are stealth, they can be targetted by arrows. A strangled jasmine and Aldon can be taken down with 4cc (2 arrows) and Banebow ability.

    Have seen some of your games, and I must admit that it's a very competitive concept. Question: how do you deal with Majiya burn or priests tidal wave? Since you can't lay down your allies with impunity.

    I been playing a 40card banebow deck for a while too. Concept is the same, but card draw is essential bec with 40 cards, if your first draw is bad, you're screwed. Guess in a 40 card deck, the concept is less competitive.

    Sorry, was the above post refering to my games or Godorian's?

    I have added Arrows to my deck. It's now much like Godorian's except that instead of Deathbones, I have 4 Bellas. (and only 2 chimera)

    My take:

    Majiya burn. Use Soul Seeker carefully to gain life.

    Priests/Mages using Nova - I nver cast all the allies in my hand. I keep them there in case of tidal Wave/Nova. As long as I have Board control, there is no need to summon every ally i have.

    Lastly, I will never play with 40 cards. 30 max.

    Ok, I am going to play this deck on my Torak Ironfist account.

    I mentioned that this deck may have problems with Aeon and BF. Met a good Amber player today who managed to summon 4 Aeons against me. (Blood Frenzy on his T3)

    Players: Torak Ironfist (Godorian's Banebow deck with tweaks) vs Tefanez (Tuned Amber)

    Game highlights: Clash of the Titans. 4 Aeons vs my 3 Plasmas. Note that he went first. Game used up all his cards. Epic battle to the end. Managed to win with just 1 life.

    Gotta see it.

    I think GSC played a 40 card version of it.

    A v good deck. My record with this deck is 13-1 now. Lost only to Mblaster (again) - man, his Majiya deck and gameplay is super.

    My deck is the same as GDC's. Except that I have Bellas instead of Deathbones.

    Love this deck.

    Yes, it was an untested 40 card version. I just maxed out the allies, added some bad Santa and a few more arrows.

    I think this one is made for 30-32 max, due to so many key cards.

    I think Deathbone would help against Mages. Might be why I have no trouble with them. It's that pesky Aeon that I hate! Calmdown's change has annoyed me twice-over!
