Shattered Fates Beta Access Contest

**Alzorath** · 02-07-2014, 03:42 PM

I was given permission to give a limited number of players access to the beta server through my channel, and thought a good way to do it, would be a deck building contest - of course, it's gonna have rules and a theme though

This week's theme "Rattle My Bones":
- the deck should be based around the use of at least 10 undead allies
- the deck should use cards in line with the theme to support them.
- you are free to choose any hero you wish.
- these decks are not expected to be 'competitive', but rather the focus is on thematic decks and creative decks, as it's really impossible to accurately 'test' a deck without being able to play it

After all the contests have run, if any decks stand out for a high level of creativity or have an exceptionally strong concept, I may give 'bonus prizes' of shadow crystals as well.

You are free to start posting your deck concepts here, only one entry per player will be accepted.

(submissions are accepted either as decklists in this thread, or as links to your a thread in the Strategy forums)

***Hero (1)***
Gravebone

***Allies (21)***
3x Death Mage Thaddeus

3x Shadow Knight

2x Death Collector

1x Cryptspawn Hound
2x Corpse Hurler
4x Falseblood Cultist

3x Der'kan, the Bone King

3x Dakrath

***Abilities (13)***
4x Fireball

4x Lightning Strike

2x Supernova

3x Sacrificial Lamb

***Items (3)***
3x Tome of Knowledge

***Armors (3)***
3x Living Armor

TOTAL: 40 cards + Hero

Whose better to lead this than the master of the dead himself? This deck utilizes the synergy of living armor/falseblood cultist/corpse hurler + Dakrath

/SK/anything really + gravebones ability to get fat creatures out fast while simultaneously keeping board presence. Crypt spawn hound and der keep coming back for more in the late game not to mention SKS ability and gravebones of course so you should never be without allies.

Hope you enjoy the deck!

That's a great idea. I see no issues moving it there, so it is done.

Have fun everyone!

EDIT:I already got a beta invitation in another contest, thanks for the opportunity the you gave me all the same.

"Rattle my bones"
***HERO***
Gravebone

***Allies (22)***
3x Shadow Knight

3x Death Collector

4x Harbinger of the Lost

4x Cryptspawn Hound
3x Corpse Hurler
3x Der'kan, the Bone King

2x Dakrath

***Abilities (9)***
4x Lightning Strike

2x Supernova

3x Sacrificial Lamb

***Items (3)***
3x Scheuth Tombstone

***Armors (6)***
4x Necromancer's Shroud

2x Charred Cowl of the Damned

TOTAL: 40 cards + Hero

It's a deck focused around pseudo draw coming from the graveyard recursion and "return to hand" mechanics with a bit of discarding to fuel them and to get the most out of gravebone's and shroud's ability. The goal of this deck would be dominating the board literally endlessly, with the option of charred cowl of the dammed to seal the deal.

I am guessing that Nik's is a GB deck

What you want to do, is get Bounty Hunter

on your hero as fast a possible, then use his ability to gain loads of resources, and start eating opponents graveyard with Death Collectors, while cycling your own graveyard with Corpse Hurlers comboing in Shadow Knights and Undying Bonds, the rest of the cards are for surviving till you can use your ability and card draw to have enough things to do. Bones shall rattle on both sides!!!
