Ter Adun, the Fastest Hero Ever (LL 3.13 fun)

[msaf]

Once in a while someone complains about losing to rush Eladwen.
You know what? Eladwen isn't even fast. Ter Adun can go second and kill her on turn 4.
Here is the strategy (LL 3.13)

T1:
(nothing)
T2:
Smith Shop
T3:
Jeweler's Dream (costs less because of Shop)
hit with JD - 1 dmg, two resources renewed
Ravenscrest: Valley of Secrets
Grave Resistance - Valley draws one card, renews the third resource
Cleric of the Asyn
T4:
Cleric's Mantle (costs less because of Shop)
activate Cleric's Mantle
Melt Down destroys Shop - draw 2 cards, Cleric buffed to 4 attack, hits for 4 dmg
Ter Adun's ability on Grave Resistance - Cleric buffed to 6 attack, hits for 6 dmg
hit with JD - 1 dmg, two resources renewed
Spitfire Hound or Melt Down destroys Cleric's Mantle - Cleric buffed to 8 attack, hits for 8 dmg
attack with Cleric - 8 dmg

Total Damage: 28, enough for all but warrior heroes.

FAQs

Q: I didn't draw the right cards for this eight card combo!
A: Bad draws happen. This deck is highly optimized, for each vital card there are 4 copies in the deck, cantrips give you additional chances.
If you are unlucky too often, consider to make a small sacrifice to Fortuna or to Kyle or to whatever deity is responsible for draws.

Q: My opponent played Cinderborn Fatebreaker / Priest of the Light / Now You're Mine / whatever else that ruined my strategy!
A: Your opponent is a lucky bastard. No way they had any clue of your looming T4 grand finale, they avoided it by sheer luck.
Consider yourself a superior strategist nonetheless.

Q: Why are you sharing your deck, instead of winning all the tournaments, and then some?
A: I am such a magnanimous person.

Fun idea.... but could you even win consistently against the AI with this deck?

@bluejet lol

Consistency? It took a lot of patience to score a T4 win against AI. I hoped for "match too short" message, but nope, i got regular gold.

If the question is about winning on a later turn, the deck is ill suited for that.

Heh! Nice one, would like to see the look on their faces if I pulled this one out xD

Shenanigans for the win

Cleric's Mantle abuse is still pretty cool with Ter Adun. It just tends to be slower than this.

I think you should replace all hope is lost with Loom or Fate. That way you have a possible turn one artifact in place, and it makes relaying on Grave Resistance less necessary.

I have been making a slightly more serious deck based around this concept, that uses Asyn: Mount Kazaar, Brankonng, Ravager Zealot, the wonderful Thriss Crucible (a turn 3 Attack 2 Defense 4 creature that is immune to Snares, Death Traps, and Damage or other Creature based removal until it's ready to attack), and Crown of Ages (turn 2, 2cc for 2 or more damage to something in the future)

I'll post a list eventually.
