So, with not very many out there, and with none in the deck roundup, I thought I may as well upload my Darkclaw deck. I've had some success with this, and I was wondering what you thought of it;
Hero: 1x Darkclaw
4x Infernal Gargoyle
4x Medusil
3x Plasma Behemoth
4x Captured Prey
4x Now You're Mine
3x Full Moon
4x Rabid Bite
3x Shriek Of Vengeance.
Any thoughts, or constructive criticism? :)
How do you play it?
I think that's as tuned as darkclaw gets my friend. Creature choices are rather plug and play here.
lol maybe he dont play it :P
I'm going to edit my post about that later.Quote:

BTW, you need to put at least two Regenerations if you want to survive against mages, because they've learned to always target Darkclaw with spells instead of allies like they did before.
I'm thinking I should, after taking around 10 damage to a Poison Gas/Engulfing Flames.Quote:

I think Full Moon requires a lot of resources to be played, what you never have in this kind of deck. On the other hand, you can cast Jeweler's Dream + Now you are mine on turn 4, and 2 allies or ally + Rapid Bite on turn 5
What do you think?
I think I agree. :) Taking out the Full Moon's for a Jeweler's Dream sounds great, but wouldn't the weapon be so much better with SpeedStrike? Where does that come? XDQuote:

I'll say perhaps chimera or bella will be better than the gargoyle due to damage output (see my thread for an explanation of the "support ally")
Elpargo, I've read your thoughts about the support allies and I think you have to start thinking about the allies in a Wulven deck in a different way. For example, you say Infernal Gargoyle has low damage output, that's true, but you're forgetting the fact that same Infernal Gargoyle can survive a lot of beating, so the fact that he has a low damage output is mitigated by the fact that in most cases he'll survive long enough to justify his cost. On the topic of Chimera vs Keldor, again I have to say I'd choose Chimera over Keldor. For every Wulven deck I've made since 1.24 I always chose the allies by how long they can survive in most fights. This is the reason why I always put Chimera in my decks, Bad Wolf is a close second to Chimera and if I had to choose between the two of them it would be a difficult decision.
As for Jeweler's Dream, I've recently tried it out in a Darkclaw ally deck against a Majiya burn deck. While it is certainly useful in an ally-less Wulven deck, for a Wulven ally deck it's usefulness is rather limited. You have to time it right to make the most out of it, I don't know, maybe I'm too used to What Big Teeth, because when I played Jeweler's Dream it felt like I was playing with a glass sword that could brake at the slightest touch. Strange, I know, but I guess I'm used to a weapon that has no durability :P
Plague, Think you have a point and I may try it however....
You have so much ally control in Wulven decks that you just don't need to care about them attacking your allies. For example Bella almost always dies the first turn she is out but with a control deck she can last several turns.
The specific problem my version of the deck has is that it does too little damage, so I need to buff on damage. I agree that a gargoyle is better damage in the long run. Hell even Brutalist is a great card as no one really takes care of him and he can easily do over 5 damage in one game without people realizing it.
So I guess sometimes it's good to focus on damage sometimes it's not. If you want to focus on defense then the choices are the opposite as you pointed out.
I like both views of Plague and Elpargo. I was thinking;
-3 Plasma Behemoth,
-3 Full Moon,
-4 Medusil,
+3 Jewelers Dream (realised thanks to Reshiram's very smart comment)
+3 Regeneration,
+3 What Big Teeth/Speedstrike?
I was thinking SpeedStrike might do good with Jewelers Dream. I'm not sure about it though. I guess I just want Wulven to get a major buff xD
34 Jeweller's Dream? Did you hack the deck construction server or something? :p
nope. he cant play it, deck is too weak lolQuote:

You're right. XD I added in some allies.Quote:

4 keldor
4 plasma
4 bad wolf
4 NYM
4 regeneration
4 full moon
4 rabid bite
4 Shriek
3x jeweler's
WBT and jeweler kill each other, it just does not fly :( or run because it's wulven
Elpargo, send me a PM. Maybe we can arrange a couple of matches between my Wulven deck and yours so you can see how my deck works. I am thinking about organizing a mini tournament for Wulven players only. It would be just for fun, to exchange ideas, to see what other Wulven players are playing etc.
Not a bad deck dude. Try 4 Keldor or Chimeras instead of the medusil, and i use Shadowspawn with my Darckclaw deck.Quote:

I'm thinking Medusil out for Chimera. And what's with the Shadowspawn? :P That's not very good since you don't have a shadow energy ability.Quote:

I thought it was useful right after using your shadow ability. :PQuote:
