Banebow 1.27 40 Card "Recycler"

[Carbon_911]

I played against the deck, blanket seems to know what he's doing/ and wants to achieve so I'll leave the editing off here..

That being said it was a tough match but I fully enjoyed it blanket. +1 for making a pro BB

If you have anything you can add or suggest he might want to play test it's always helpful to throw it in even if he doesnt take your advice. I always gladly try out any advice I'm given and it lead me to become a better deck builder.

Fair point Carbon.

For starters I dislike the high ally count. Extremely much so.

You're running the basic shadow engine we're going to see in all of .27 ... So what makes your's any different?
Easy. You have a very controlling Hunter deck. Also you have item destruction... beautiful

However, I feel like this deck WILL get clogged up. Atleast in comparison to what it could be doing.

2x Infernal Gargoyle
4x Hellsteed
2x Carniboar
4x Belladonna
3x Shadow Knight

4x Flaming Arrows
3x Poison Arrows
3x Shriek of Vengeance
2x Bad Santa
2x Bazaar

4x Wrath of the Forest
4x Soulseeker
2x Night Prowler
let me say, I for one found this a VERY frustrating list too do. As this is not an ideal deck for me at all.

Being said, I wanted to keep it at 40 for you since I know how you feel about that number. I strongly believe BB could very well be T1 if you could drop it too 30. So much so you can expect to see me try an archtype of YOUR build. So in this particular list your allies are much smaller. (-5 I believe) Being so this opens up abit more versatility to the deck. Also, I lowered your count on shriek. While this is fantastic for a hunter deck..

Your archtype is very ally based - and bare in mind those particular allies are quite costy. If you plan to ever drop 2 at a time the count of 4 shrieks too me is a stretch. Effective for some purposes but counter-productive overall. Next the draw power in this deck is simply beyond belief. You want to open with early Santa...

Netting your opp. only 2 cards if played correctly and STOPPING his next draw to max cards.. Also, should you be in a bad bunch late game you can use this and pull out abit of magic. Bazaar is a card I do not normally support; however, your ability to control the field with such strong presence seems to trump the downfalls to falling behind on board control. Next I kept the DoT's (Damage over time) cards due beyond the fact I had nothing to replace with.. and they compliment bazaar very well.. they're 2 cost. While you eat damage still with playing em. Destroying the said ally is pro for the cost of 2.

Plus hurts midgame human allies like no other.

Finally, NP. With bb's effect you can net 2 cards off this instead of 1. Again very very very control based. Also, it becomes a dire target (if you control board like you should) they'll be forced to use item destruction on it should you decide to leave it out

This is my take at a 40. I would do the list quite abit different for 30 ( an I will ) but I still find this a very respectable version of your own Blanket.

Wrath of the forest and Nightprower are anti-combo, aren't they?

[Wtzky]

Interesting thoughts giggle.

Blanket, as always a strong banebow. You fixed the draw issue hunters have for a hard hitting deck. Having SS is just so nice in this type of deck too.

[Atomzed]

Btw, giggle, NP don't work with Banebow ability...

I will be a happy man if it does.

Im really tired of the a1 forums. If you have something productive for the community just post it we dont need to know how good a1 forums is or whatever i dont give a shit. Plz dont mention a1 on every post and stop being an elitist.

Sounds like someone's application got denied.


Anyway, back on topic. My only person suggestions would be to switch carniboar for mind flayer PURELY to capitalize on going second and poke fun at hellrush. Other than that, -1 steed, +1 2drop. A well tuned deck, and one I'm not looking forward to battling!

[BlanketEffect]

Yeah, I've gotten a lot of surprise reactions in games when I'm playing BB and pop out the Soul Seeker. SS, combined with the BB ability, is a very strong weapon. Not as good as a Gwen with a Rapid Fire in play, but yeah, still very effective.

As far as Flayer goes, he's a good card, but I think Carniboar is a better choice for this deck. Given the amount of cheap control the this deck brings to the table, I'm not too worried about being crushed by weenie rush. Carniboar has the ability to get bigger (and quite accomplishable combined w BB ability) and, with 2 health, he doesn't die to 1 damage attack or effect.

As far as the comment regarding the A1 forums, that was mostly for my own edification and not typically posting a newly designed meta-staple. Hence was not going to offer all the collective insights given already by A1. However, elitist as we (or I) may be, I still posted the deck for the entire community to see and benefit from.

Nothin wrong with being an elitist - when you're elite.

Now THAT. We can use it as our 'secondary' A1 catch pharse.

@igiggle: This...also bad santa and bazaar are not very useful in this deck cause you draw a lot even without these...and Shadow Knight are very strong...i will run 4x...
