Finally Gweneth killer deck 1.25

I finally completed my deck..i had many different suggestions and advices
I think thats the best gwen can get out there

Gweneth truesight
4x puwen
3x jasmine
4x aldon the brave
2x raven

4x blood seeker
4x beetle demon bow

2x night prowler
1x gravedigger cloak

4x retreat
2x rapid fire

Thats 31

Puwen rocks drake blows..thats 1.25
No oath 8 bows are all u need
Raven is there when ur facing too many gargoyles and/or aeon
Same reason fpr rapid fire..helps u making ur damage faster so u can use all the bows ur holding in ur hand before the other guy have the opportunity to respond
Retreat doesnt need explanation..it rocks
I think 3 jasmine are enough but thats personal..

2 night prowler works just right..u dont need to draw it fast but its cool to have a second time to try if the first doesnt work ( no more game freeze on empty hand!)
Gravedigger could be the third night prowler but i like variety..plus it really works in particular situations (nishaven with lot of resources-> no much to steal from hand lot of good stuff in the graveyard).

Always resource ally if its either them or bows..especially if rapid fire is down..(even tho u shudnt be resourcing anything if rapid fire is down except when facing MC)

Looks good to me..whatcha say? :)

Looks pretty nie, but I dont get 4 Aldon and 3 Jasmine. Shes better since you dont have a lot of allies.

I think this looks like a good deck, but agree swap 1 aldon for 1 jasmine.

Hmm u may have a point there..i like aldon cuz puwen can kill other puwens and similar with him.. But i may switch to 4:3 as u suggest

I don't see why everyone believes that Jasmine >>> Aldon. They are both 3/4 on your turn, but Aldon can help your puwen do three damage right away, whereas Jasmine's only benefit is that she can seduce. However, she can't seduce until your next turn, and by then she has a good chance of being killed.

But anyway, I guess its just splitting hairs. Both are good, but Aldon is slightly better in my eyes.

Aldon is better, but he is unique. That is why they suggest to have Jasmine more than Aldon. IMO, I will have 3 aldons and 3 jasmines to have 30 cards deck.

looks like most gwen decks, but has 2 ravens

I'm playing Gwen, and I haven't added Raven yet, but I'm seriously considering it. She's great in the mirror match and against Amber, because it takes 2 hits to kill her. Also, she only costs 5, so you still don't have to play more than 5 resources. She's also a nice counter to Aeon, and pretty much any other ally actually. Of course, I'm not sure what I would take out to make room. But that's the fun of deckbuilding, right?

To OP - I agree that 3 Jasmine and 3 Aldon is probably better. I currently play 2 Jasmine and 4 Aldon. You don't really need more than six 3 cost allies in this deck. It's pretty rare that you won't have at least one of them by turn 3.

Looks like your standard Gwen deck. I agree with the other posters regarding Jasmine and Aldon. In any case, am I the only one that doesn't like Retreat as much as every other one out there lol?

I dunno, think Raven isn't that good of a choice. I find by the time I have 5 resources, I'm needing to throw down bows/prowler/rapid fire. No room for another 5cc. Plus, against Elementals, she'll just get MC'd. And mages will just nuke. Warriors, crippling blow. Etc.

Late game, it's all about bow pressure and I usually just sacrifice allies.

retreat is an insanely good card. return MC'd ally, bounce a high cost ally giving you resource advantage and possibly board control, clear any effects like Life Infusion.. i dont see a reason not to have 4 in every human deck.

For an added bonus, in a pinch Retreat can reset a beetle bow!

Retreat is pretty good, but not an awesome card! But I wold put some on.

I don't use Retreat, but I play a different build. To much of my fun is making my own decks, even if they are substandard (mine runs Surprise Attack! heheh). I will try out standard builds to learn from them, though.

(I am considering running retreat though, to manage Aeon in the endgame)

Thanks everyone for ur considerations..ill keep 4 jasmine cuz i like not having 30 cards..haha
Raven is too good its crazy..

sorry to disappoint you but i doubt this is the best gwen out there... i run a 30-2 (+2 random defeat bugs) in top10... i havent lost a match up vs an other gwen and i dont run retreat i play more allies and many more differences that i dont like to say as of yet....

but a few comments on YOUR deck
2 raven is a must
4 jasmine is a must
consider +1 or 2 aeons they are game saviors vs other hunters/mages/warriors
and i dont like 4 aldons , u can play only 1 at a time and a lot of tiems u will end up not able to use him... 3 is enought...

Is it just me, or is Gwenneth much weaker than in 1.24? I've been having rotten luck... First day, I guess. Didn't even realize that Blake had been decimated down to 1 health like that. :/ I'd rather have him as a 2/1 for 1 resource, then I could at least get him out as an anti-snake first round hitter.

@hpanigma
i dont like aeon..i prefer to spam bows and armors...retreat it's awesome...
ur top 10? wellthat'spetty cool..but if u dont want to share ur deck well i can't really make anyting out of your comment.

Just won Danae warwind(top20) because of aeon... He went 1st with amber playing Blake / jasmine/aldon / weapon pretty perfect draw for him... While I didn't have in hand my counter to Blake ( let's say retreat for your deck) so I left with 7 health with him having 30.... He did destroy my 2 boys that I payed in turn 4&5 and when we had no card in hand ( or close to it) I had a soul keeper on, puted an aoen down and never lost an other health... Won and had 6 health left cuz of aeon.... Bows by themselfs can't secure board control u need + 1 ally to be able to 1 shoot plasma+ raven when played... When i change deck I will post it all... But it will come to a surprise to most... Since I don't use many "standrad" cards

there are less than 150 cards in this game...it cant be that weird..i'll think about aeon..but i still dont like him enough

"my counter to blake" as i said.not many cards to choose from really!

Perhaps Poison/Flaming arrow?

not perhaps...it HAS TO BE poison/flaming arrows...that's why i dont see the need to be all mysterious and enigmatic..lol

Sorry to tell ya but your deck sucks.. it lucks burst power cause if you focus on ally summons.. you miss the bow burst damage advantage of Doom deck.and if you plan on summoning allies on the late stages... then sorry to tell ya but by then the game is finished cause you are outnumbered by enemies allys /weapons..

Turns 1-4 you focus on allies to gain/maintain board control. Turns 4-end you bury all allies and get Rapid Fire + Bow.

Allies in late game take away too much. I'd rather drop rapid-fire, replacement bow over anything else. I only needed 7 resources max when I played. Enough for bow an retreat.

I love the discussions around Gwen decks:

"Your deck sucks because it /contains allies/doesn't contain allies/contains the wrong allies/contains rapid fire/doesn't contain rapid fire/contains into the forest/doesn't contain into the forest"

I think it is pretty clear that Gwen is powerful, because pretty much Gwen + 8 bows + just about anything you want will do all right.

ringel noone is powerful if you dont know how to play him and dont have personal strategy..I assure you i have the so called DOOM deck(with around 280 rating), and i have lost to many people just because they had better luck in drawing cards, and i have been owned badly by many so called UNpowered decks.. like darkclaw keep allyless and healing himself till end, like mages keep burst nuking my hero/board allies and many other low rating players using dublicate AOAs.. SO no Gwenn is not powerful at all!

Obviously we have very different decks... Tho I don't find optimal to use carD that make card- disadvantage.... Such as retreat....
