    Need advice for logan deck

    Hello,
    I'm pretty new in shadow era, but i really like this game.
    I tried to make a deck for Logan which support his ability, but my deck idea really struggle against other players. That's why i would be glad to get some advice and inspiration. Thanks in advance ~~

    Hero: Logan

    Allies: (12)
    4 Rotling
    4 Bad Wolf
    4 Magma Jackal

    Abilities: (32)
    4 Evil Ascendant
    2 Smashing Blow
    2 Shriek of Vengeance
    4 Shield Bash
    4 Blood Frenzy
    4 Rampage
    4 Shadow Font
    4 Crippling Blow
    4 Arthyle's Crypt

    Items: (4)
    4 Rusty Longsword (sadly not enough money for other items haha)

    Well, my idea is to use Evil Ascendant + Bad Wolf as main damage dealer. And Magma Jackal just to take down the fatties. I thought he would support logans ability, cause both allies die if he get killed. So i could save up logans ability for emergency.
    I took Rotling in my deck to annoy gravebone and his ability and all elemtal hero with their healing card. I guess nothing annoy them more as exiled allies, maybe....

    Arthyle's Crypt is for getting back my allies so i can repeat rotling and magmas abilities.
    Rampage works pretty fine with evil ascendant.

    Ummm i guess that's all~~~ thanks for every help

    I think you need some firepower, the deck seems to be too defensive and you probably struggle to kill your opponent.

    From what I understood you don't have that many cards but when possible try to grab some nice weapons (jewellers dream for extra resources and pithing spear for you to keep that logans ability running seems like good choices).

    As for allies change the bad wolfs for infernal gargoyles, works great with evil ascendant and usually stays longer in the board. Put a couple of fattys as well, something big and scary!

    You can drop the number of rampages to 3 or even 2, once you have it all the remaining copies in the deck are kind of dead weight and I'm sure you always want to draw a solution not a dead opportunity.

    Hope my tips are usefull

    Here are some cards you want and should grind for:

    Furrion Terror x4
    Shadow Knight (0-3)
    Braxnorian Veteran (0-3)
    Berserkers Edge (4)
    Reserve Weapon (2-3)
    Snow Sapphire (or more expensive version Rothem's Visage and Lythite Coating)(2-3)
    Spiked Bolas Strike (to replace Shield Bash)(0-4)

    Take out Shadow Font and replace all your allies with suggested ones.

    I thought that bad wollf will give more offense power. Also he heals 1 hp every round, so i thought he kinda fit with evil ascendant

    Logan is a challenge. If you dip into Shattered fates, Pithing Spear is a must, it's basically made for Logan. I think you can pick them up for 300 gold each, but only if the merchant has them in stock

    Looking at your deck my gut instinct would be something like this;
    -4 Rottling
    +4 Gargoyle (gargoyle + evil ascendant is very appealing)
    -2 rampage (no need for four copies, could possibly add one enrage)
    -2/4 shadow font (I'm not sure you really need this, if you get pithing spear you could probably get rid of it altogether)
    -4 rusty longsword
    +4 Pithing Spear

    All that said, you will still need something extra to play turn 2 and you probably need more card draw. I wouldn't normally recommend her but maybe switch out a couple of the magma jackals for Belladonna? Again looking at shattered fates, Intimidate might help you with board control early game.

    Finally, does Shield Bash work with Logan's shadow ability? If not I would replace it with killing spree.

    Anyway these are just my thoughts. Good luck!

    Some opinions:

    - Starting with Logan is NOT a good idea. I can even say that he, currently, is the worst hero (ahh, long gone the day when he was the best). So be prepared that no matter what you have, anyone can give you a hard fight.
    - Now to the deck. You have so few allies (and most of them are bad). Many abilities/items you have are bad as well.

    + Get 4x Yari Bladedancer. Yes, they are rare (often missing in merchant) and 300G each, so you won't get them easily. But they are the best 2cc ally in the game. I generally run 6x 2cc allies, so add in whatever you like (Karash or Brutalis work fine).

    + For 3cc ally, Gargoyle > Bad Wolf in most case. It helps holding your early game. I also prefer running 6x 3cc ally, so you could use 4x Garg with 2x Bad Wolf, Death Mage Thaddeus or Morbid Acolyte.

    + Magma Jackal is not good. You need REAL fatties. Now it is not easy to decide which one to use. Furrion Terror add some extra board clear. Shadow Knight is a thread that force your enemy to react immediately, and he can form the deadly SK loop. Plasma Behemoth is the old king of fatties that people often neglect nowadays; he somewhat really fits with Logan "slow control" playstyle. Whatever you use, don't use more than 6 fatties. I think 4x Furrion work fine.

    + Get at least 3x Pithing Spear. It is the best thing that Fate gives him. I recommend 4x Pithing Spear and 3x Jeweler's Dream for weapons. You can add in 2 Dimension Ripper if you have some spare gold (they are the Mage killer). Berserker Edge can be used as well. Overall, total weapons & Reserved Weapon should not exceed 10 cards.

    + Now, for abilities and other stuffs. 4x Blood Frenzy, 3x Crippling Blow (or Intimidate), 3x Smashing Blow, 2x Enrage (or Rampage), 3-4x Shadow Font. Add in some optional cards like Shriek, Evil Ascendant, Word of The Prophet ...

    Gather up everything and don't make a huge deck (try not to make one with more than 45 cards)
