This deck aim is to rush ur opponent with the synergy between twilight's allies and Ythan's ability.

Ythan Redthorn 28HP 4SE: Target friendly ally can attack 2 times this turn, and has +1 attack and ambush until the end of the turn.
Its not hard to have an ally with 6 or more ATK in this deck. With Ythan's ability, it will deal 14 dmg in one blow.
ex: a hasted Demetreyo attached with Streng of Conviction= ally with 6 ATK

Demetreyo, Twilight Extremist 3CC 4ATK 1HP While there is another friendly Twilight ally in play, Demetreyo has haste. Demetreyo is killed at the end of the turn he was summoned.
like everyone have said, a living fireball. With so many twilith's allies in this deck, it wouldnt so hard to get him berserk

Twilight Ritualist 3CC 2ATK 5HP 2: Target enemy item or ability with cost 3 or less is destroyed, and
Twilight Ritualist is killed at the end of your turn.
This deck dont bring any item destroyer ability, this ally is the substitute. It only can handle 3cc item or lower, but it have 2/5 body, so the trade is not so bad

Twilight Warden 3CC 3ATK 3HP Steadfast. While there are at least 3 Twilight allies in your graveyard, Twilight Warden has +2 attack and +2 health.
3/3cc for 3/3 is not so good, but once he saw 3 of his comrades have died, he would become mad like Hulk

Twilight Herald 1CC 1ATK 1HP 0: Target friendly ally gains +1 base attack and +1 health, and Twilight Herald is killed at the end of your turn.
Finnaly this lonely Twilight piooner meet the rest of her tribe. 1cc Twilight is very usefull to furfill other twilight requirement ability or to be sac to the headdress

Strength of Conviction 1CC Attach to target friendly ally. That ally has +1 attack, or +2 attack if it is a Templar or Twilight ally.
+2 ATK for 1cc. Very good combine with: Ythan ability,

Ritualist's Headdress 2CC 3DUR 1DEF 1D: Target friendly Twilight ally is killed and target other friendly ally gains +2 base attack and +2 health.
Very good tool, u can attack with 2 of ur twilight then sac it to strengthen other. Or sac ur allies that would go to graveyard at the end of the turn anyway. Combine with Ythan ability, u could deal enormous dmg in one blow

Twilight Eidolon 3CC When a friendly Twilight ally is killed, that ally is returned to play and Twilight Eidolon is destroyed. 0: Draw a card if you control 2 or more Twilight allies.
Eidolon would not last long time on the field. But once it summoned, make sure u have 2 Twilight so at least it would draw u a card before it resurrect one of ur allies

Twilight Champion 4 3 5 When a friendly Twilight ally is killed, Twilight Champion gains +1 base attack and +1 health.
The last twilight I've add since this deck need so much of his tribe to work properly. Should I put another 2 copy of the champion replacing Aldon? The answer would need to wait till I can test it on Beta server

Road Less Traveled
cheat death for dying twilight and give u 2 card. And can be used to bounce a 11/11 wisp! Lol

===============
changelog 1:
-2 aldon
-3 retreat
-2 Wrath of the Forest (dunno why It never help me much in game)
+3 Twilight Opportunist
+2 Twilight Shaman
+2 Poison Arrow
reason: Need more T2 drop
Sometime I need retreat, sometime i sac it... havent got any good solution for anti-ally cards here

changelog 2:
-2 Poison Arrow
-1 Strength of Conviction
-1 Feathered Longbo
-1 Twilight Eidolon
-1 Twilight Ritualist
+4 Bad Santa
+1 Twilight Opportunist
+1 A Legend Rises
Reason: Bad Santa and rush deck, do i really need to explain?
Legend rise, a captured ally that suddenly freed with +2 atk, yummy

changelog 3:
-2 Retreat
-1 Twilight Warden
+3 Road Less Traveled
Thanks for all ppl who suggested RLT

In the end, this thread only theory-crafting the deck since I cant really test it yet.
Pls speak up ur mind about this deck composition, weakness, strength and any other opinion in order to help Design Team balancing SF

thanks for sharing this, interesting concept!

but i kinda think Ythan's ability is best suited to bobcat

because going second you can cast bobcat on turn 4, use ythan's ability, then bobcat can attack for 4 haste damage twice with ambush

Does hero ability trigger bobcats ability actually?
It says hunter ability.

[Yvan Antoine]

My idea was to mix bobcat and just few twilight and Templar. I would play zallen crusader then turn 4 play bobcat and strength of conviction or gambit.

Might be a bit watered down but I only want enough twilight for demetryo.

Sorry I misread it yes it's hunter ability not hero ability

[Lahiri]

Demetreyo + hero ability = 10 haste damage in da face.
With Strength of Conviction he's insane.

[ipoop245]

consider that you have next to no board after dealing damage , Into the Forest could be a nice card to stall

A thread without reply is sucks
I was starting to worried that SF deck thread is forbidden before Beta server start

Some Templar is very good combine with Ythan ability like Knight of Unaxio.
I have theory-crafting Ythan with the templars, but it never cross my mine to use both templar and twilight on a same deck. Would be interesting if u care to share ur deck list

Demetreyo + hero ability = 10 haste damage in da face.
With Strength of Conviction he's insane.

Demetreyo+ SoC + Ythan ability =14 instant dmg.
And it only cost 4 resource, 4 SE, and need another twilight on play.
Not to difficult to have.

Sorry I misread it yes it's hunter ability not hero ability

Bobcat greatest drawback is that u need to cast another card in the same turn u played it to make it haste.

consider that you have next to no board after dealing damage , Into the Forest could be a nice card to stall

I dont like stalling/def card in an aggresive deck.
But maybe there a varian of Ythan deck that rely on several card combo to deal massive dmg. And stall before it found the right combo ingredient.

I looked at my decklist and the only templar is zallen, but it works well with bobcat. Also the road less traveled can be fun for those twilights who dont like to live.
