3x the cost 5 vine girl

You have something against Raven?

Anyways, I prefer this:

- 2 arcane
- 2 webs
- 2 extra sharp
- bazaar

+ 1 soul Sapphire (needed against weapon heavy Gwen and amber)
+ 1 Lightning
+ 2 Aeon
+ 3 portal - surprise attack, no ally fatigue once summon - combined with Raven or Puwen. Effective damage.

Thanks I knew I was gonna hear to pit in portal and aeon

am I the only who puts cards in a deck just to be sacrificiced ? Like I pit the rain delay and the webs just to sacrificie that's pretty much it am I the only one that does that? Cause other poeple it seems thru make up wat they want to sac on the go

btw how good is snow sapphire? Cause it only works for 4 turns so I don't see how it could be that good

4 turns is very precious. Every turn is important in SE. That's why retreat is so powerful if used correctly.

Do not put in cards just for sac-ing. That's not the way to go.

Every card space is important, right down to the last card.

Thanks but then u could be sacing valuble cards rite?

Ok here r my changes
-2 arcanes
-1 webs
-1 extra sharp

+1 aeon
+1 portal
+1 lightining

Ok about snow sappihire i used it against banebow and i hit one guy ( a fire snake) with it In 4 turns cause I had good board presence so i should spend half my money to buy another one and go along with this?

Also added another portal took out clinging web and another extra sharp
so I still need a snow sapphire, aeon, third portal

Ill post my 30 cards Eladwen Board control deck

4 Puwen
4 Jasmine
4 Aldon
4 Raven W.

4 Fireball
4 Lightning
3 Retreat
2 Research

Reasoning behind the cards:

Puwen is pretty standart
Puwen > Aldon dominates Humans
Puwen > Jasmines Dominate Shadow

Why Raven over Aeon?
I run 4 Ravens because they have high hp and have major board presence. In adition to that, and considering the weak draw options of eladwen, I prefer not to have to spend an extra card resourcing just to play Aeon.

4 Lightning and Fireballs are also standart.
Remember that Fireball wont win you the game since Eladwen can't get card advantage like majiya can. Neither do I run Arcanes since the opponent mostly controls a max of 2 allies so you are better off with lightning.

2 Researches I found very useful once you find yourself with an empty hand around turn 6 and need the fuel to stay in the game.

The 3 Retreats are filler cards I haven't tried replacing them with Novas yet as they tend to favor the drawing power of majiya mostly.

Ideal opening is

t2 Puwen
t3 3 cc ally
t4 Light/fire 3cc ally
t5 Raven
t6 Raven/ Research
