Banebow 1.27 40 Card "Recycler"

[Raphael Majere]

I like this deck a lot. Sisyphos goes fatty route. Blanket has more early control. I am torn between 2. Sisyphos deck I have problems if I dont draw garg or death mage.

(yes, it happens even if u have 8)

So I tweak sisyphos deck a bit to put in boar.

Strong deck. Kudos to blanket and sisyphos.

Raph, I really like Sisphos deck as well but what would you take out to fit in Boars? I have already replaced the Medusils for 2 more Belladonnas as I prefer to run 4.

[Raphael Majere]

Wrong move. IMHO. Never take out the 2 medusil.

They are back-ups for garg and death mage.

You MUST have a t3 ally on board. (Synergy with Bane's blast)

I suggest playing with Sys's deck as it is first, before adding own tweaks.

( I remove 1 Wrath to put in 1 Boar. But I am still testing. - 1 shriek + 1 boar too)

I agree with Raphael Majere here, I play a slightly different version than Sys's and occassionally a t3 doesnt show up in the openning hand, with the 2 medusils, there are 10 3cost allies making 25% of the deck and ensure at least one will show up.

If not, chalk it up to bad luck for sure

Essentially, having a T3 ally on board is way more important than a t2 ally.

In most cases, I agree with you. However, with Banebow, a t2 Brutalis when going 2nd means a dead Puwen on my t3, in addition to whatever else I may be able to play on that turn. So, I believe a t2 drop w Banebow is more important than the normal 3-drop. Not always, maybe 50/50.

I agree with Blanket, a T2 ally with Banebow is very, very important. Banebow strength is early board control, and I think you should capitalise on the strength. Early board control once gained in SE, is difficult for the opp to wrestle back.

[Raphael Majere]

Both points are valid, i tend to think more about late game. Drawing a Boar or brut in late game is not as good as a 3cc ally.

As mentioned there are merits in both approaches.

[Tarriz]

I playtested the deck a couple of times.
Won most matches and lost one match against a Boris deck with at least 3 Sandworms.

The biggest problem is that many times you dont have anything to play on turn 3.
Sometimes you spend the turn by playing arrows, but that keeps you in the defense. If you go fist and your opponent didn't play anything the first 2 turns you can just sit there and do nothing.
That's not really helping board-control-wise.
If the opponent plays Jasmine in his turn 3 you will loose another turn.

I switched the boars in favor of dark mages which improves turn 3, but makes turn 2 worse.
