1.27 Lance Control Deck

[Keaven]

how do you fare against direct damage? or boardwipes like tidal wave? is this deck able to recover from this?

I have been using a similar deck and find that DD and board sweeps are not such a problem, but my cards are below. And although I do not agree with CD about IGG because it is particularly useful against human warriors and mages that cannot destroy it (I've even been able to cast it turn 5 and be effective), I agree that Crimson is uneccissary as it is only likely to help win matches that can be won without it. This deck will also not be as effective as it could until the Earthen Protector bug is fixed as I have lost matches as a result that I could have won. I'm still tinkering with a few cards but my current version is below:

Lance (40 cards)
1 x Lance
3 x Kristoffer Wyld
3 x Birgitte Skullborn
4 x Blake Windrunner
1 x Raven Wildheart
4 x Aldon the Brave
3 x Armored Sandworm
2 x Marshland Sentinel
2 x Tainted Oracle
3 x Earthen Protector
3 x Aeon Stormcraller

4 x Reconnaissance
3 x Ill-Gotten Gains
4 x Retreat

(28 Allies)

Some changes to help card draw a bit along with Retreat's for board control.

-3 Earthen Protector
-2 Ill Gotten Gains
-2 Crimson Vest

+4 Bad Santa
+3 Retreat

Now looks like this:

Lance
4x Jasmine
4x Puwen
4x Birgitte
4x Raven
4x Marshland
4x Tainted Oracle
4x Aeon
4x Stop!Thief
4x Bad Santa
3x Retreat


The 4 oracles along with 4 bad santas gives plenty of draw needed. Retreat compliments all the tricks you can pull off with this deck.

This one looks really good to me!
Are you still playing with this deck? If you do, how is it going?

I'm wondering if inserting Assassination would add some punch into play...

-2 Oracle
-1 Bad Santa
-1 Stop Thief
-1 Aeon

+4 Assassination
+1 Retreat (great utility card, always max)

Have you noticed with 40 cards that it's alot tougher to keep a smooth flow of play (getting cards you want, when you want)?

Assassination is a must for Lance,Marshland and TO may look good in Lance Deck.....But In The Reality,They are not......
1.28 is about to roll in 2 days and Lance' Ability will be changed......Thats why Birgitte wont be a good idea for the Deck...
Haste is Great...I'm excited about it......
All The Best For Your Deck....

I'm using a deck based on this and it's working great for me so far. If I get to 200, I'll let you know what I've done with it. Thanks for the great deck!
