This is a fairly expensive deck to build from scratch but it's very very simple to play and requires little effort. I just thought I'd post because it's been a while since i saw a deck that was just very basic and focused, easy to play etc.
- 1x Boris
- 4x Jasmin
- 4x Puwen
- 4x Blake
- 4x Aldon
- 2x Aeon
- 3x War Banner
- 4x Smashing Blow
- 3x Crippling Blow
- 4x Campfire Stories
- 1x Enrage
- 4x Blood Frenzy
- 2x King's Pride
Total - 40 cards.
It's very simple in choosing what to play every turn, the only time it changes is when playing against weapon heavy decks such as Gwen.
Sac every turn until around 7 resources if possible.
T1 - Sac only
T2 - Blake (only if not playing against mage and the field is clear of opposing allies, otherwise Puwen)
T3 - Aldon
T4 - War Banner
T5 - Jasmin or Aldon + Puwen or Blake
T6 - Aeon
T7 - King's Pride
A quick rundown of some of the card choices:
This deck is made up of cheap allies mainly so that users of plague won't gain a massive upperhand.
Jasmin is used to stall opponents and protect weaklings, whilst Aldon is used for his +1 attack buff.
Aeon is used to protect all the weaklings and just take a lot of abuse.
War banner is interchangeable with Aldon. I usually play Aldon first for the board presence and banner later.
Smashing blow to deal with Gwen decks.
Crippling blow to deal with Gargoyles, Erika or Raven. Whatever I can't kill in one turn and is annoying really.
Campfire stories because it's a draw a card for free and heals. This has literally saved my ass against supernova so many times. If you have a bunch of allies down + Aeon and someone plays a 'clear the board' type spell, campfire can become your best friend. Just works pretty well in a lot of situations.
Enrage and Blood frenzy are pretty obvious. You want to draw and you want +10 health, easy.
King's pride is just another boost to the weaker allies.
Im sure a lightweight version of this deck could be made for a 30 card limit.
So what do you guys think? What do you think works here and what do you think is pointless? I welcome people to challenge me and put forward scenarios and weaknesses so I can see what I can come up with and improve!
