    "Jack of all trades" Lance

    Here we have yet annother Lance deck. This deck incorporates ideas collaborated in "Rogue Research" thread.

    Lance

    4 Kris
    4 Puwen
    3 Nightshade
    4 Aldon
    4 Marshland
    3 Raven
    2 Aeon

    24 allies

    4 Assasinated
    4 Reccon
    4 Stop thief
    3 extra sharp
    4 Bazar

    19 items and abilities
    totaling 44 cards

    This deck is built for maximum synergy. It incorporates both weenie-rush and control themes. Reccon+Aldon work well with weenies, assasinated has good synergy with kris and nightshade. Ravens and sentinels bring in control elements trough their "nullify" abilities. This deck does not retreat, I feel that extra sharp,nightshade's untouchability and assasinated should fill in the roles retreat generally fills.

    Bazar is used as a counter to warrior BF, that is why there are 4. Bazar should be played with care, most of the time it is better not to play it/piggyback on opponent's bazar. Item destruction x4 should generally beat darkclaw decks and can be used to sabotage other decks. Deck has no armor because I feel that it is never any issue with Lance decks.

    I would appreaciate any feedback, be they minor tweaks, bigger mod's or huge refutations. This is the best I feel I can come up with currently.

    Extra sharp is a bad card. Any card that gives you negative card advantage and has a very minor impact on the board is not very good.

    I feel it has a huge impact on the battle for board control, especialy at the begining, which is vital for a Lance deck. But it is a recent addition, so I might be proven wrong.

    edit: now testing variation without extra sharps. Just remove those three, and that is the current variant in testing. maybe adding two retreats would make it better, dunno yet.

    why only one dagger? because I'm poor -_-'
    Planning on adding one more once I get the gold. Still playtesting.
    Bazar got the boot, I went back to using IGG.
    Reccon got the boot too, I felt it was not that usefull.

    Going with your control theme I would recommend with anklebreaker or the saver of unsummoning. Ankelbreaker drops attack to 1 very nice and the dagger is basically retreat on a stick.

    Note on dagger is be careful with this. It is retreat but Kristo is not it's friend. If they have Aldon and 4 resources you are looking at 8 dmg on a new dagger as it retreats him rather than kill him.

    I have seen some people have good sucsess with the ankelbreaker though.

    The more I think about it, the better Ankle breaker seems to me. I really have to give it a thought. The main issue here is my lack of gold.
