    Banebow, Ressources Destroyer

    Hello every one !

    I am playing since mid June and i love this game.
    The number of cards is low but there is so much different deck that can be built, it's very rich !!

    For my first post, i want to share this deck.
    I was building a Zaladar deck with Here be Monsters, but it was not as efficiency as i expected.

    I tried to add Cobraskin Wraps that i bought to test Priest/Plague and here is the deck :

    1 Banebow
    4 Hellsteed
    4 Carniboar
    3 Death Mage Thaddeus
    3 Belladonna
    2 Shadow Knight
    1 Poison Arrow
    1 Flaming Arrow
    2 Bloodlust
    4 Here Be Monsters
    3 Shriek of Vengeance
    2 Cobraskin Wraps
    Total 30 cards

    v2 14/09 :
    1 Banebow
    4 Fire Snake
    4 Brutalis
    3 Death Mage Thaddeus
    4 Infernal Gargoyle
    2 Belladonna
    2 Bloodlust
    4 Here Be Monsters
    3 Shriek of Vengeance
    3 Cobraskin Wraps
    Total 30 cards

    v3 (since 18/09)
    1 Banebow
    4 Hellsteed
    4 Fire Snake
    4 Carniboar
    4 Dark Flayer
    4 Death Mage Thaddeus
    2 Bloodlust
    4 Here Be Monsters
    2 Shriek of Vengeance
    4 Cobraskin Wraps
    Total 33 cards

    The idea is to lock the game early turn 4 with 4 HBM and 2 Cobraskin : 6 cards.
    Probability to get 1 of these cards at turn 4 = 91.84% (fisrt) or 94.29% (second).
    Without the Cobraskins, it would be 1 of 4 cards at turn 4 = 79.60% (fisrt) or 83.68% (second) only...
    That's why I think 4 HBM is not good enough.
    If you want to check the maths : http://www.shadowera.com/entry.php?2...-Shadow-Era%29
    There is a lot of 5 ressources card you don't want to see (Supernova, Tidal Wave, Raven, ...), so try really to lock before turn 5.

    How to play HBM : http://www.shadowera.com/showthread....re-Be-Monsters!
    I learned a lot by viewing arebelspy commentaries.

    At the end of the lock, you have the card advantage since you didn't sac and you drew cards at the same time.
    The opponent has no choice but to sac good cards !!

    Cards commentaries :
    Banebow + Hellsteed + Carniboar + Thaddeus : damage allocation + carniboar growth which shoud pressure the opponent.
    Shadow Knight and Belladonna to draw/recycle cards (don't hesitate to sac 1,2 of them before the lock).
    Of course, 2 different arrows to be able to cumulate them if needed.
    Bloodlust is very usefull with Hellsteed and Thaddeus.
    HBM : destroy and draw
    Shriek can be used to decrease your ressources, combo with HBM (especially when you start first).
    Cobraskin : unlike HBM, you don't need to have less ressources than your opponent.

    Try it and have fun

    While I like your general idea, I don't think that Banebow has enough draw power to play Cobraskin wraps.

    What's your record and rank with this deck?

    Yes, that's why i put 4 cards to draw : HBM, Cobraskins, Belladonna, SK.
    For now, i don't see what i can do to improve the draw power.

    My last games :
    Gwenneth 169, Win
    Lance 207, Win
    Darkclaw 171, Win
    Majiya 162, Win
    Nishaven 171, Loss
    Majiya 164, Loss
    Ter Adun 170, Win

    My rank is 209 but doesn't mean anything because i often change deck.

    Here be monster is just bad. The reason why is it cost 4 meaning to be effective you opponent need to have 5 ressources meaning they can play 90% to 100% of their deck no matter what.

    It cost 4 and your opponent will have 4 resources.

    Go read the cards before you post shit.

    It cost 4 and to remove 1 ressource they need to have 5 or more. Yes they will drop to 4 but on their turn they if they sacrifice they go back to 5 and your still at 4. Nice way to lose tempo and board control

    Please both of you read the HBM card again. It costs 3 resources not 4. Sandra is the one that costs 4.

    This is imaginative. Definitely not the standard Bane I'm seeing out there. Kinda tempted to go construct something similar and test it.
