TR’s Blessing and Crusade

November 5th, 2011 | Posted by aventhunderer in Deckbuilding - (1 Comments)

TR’s Blessing and Crusade

 

[Grand Crusader] is probably the most strongest Paladin Talent ever printed in wowtcg. In core anything that gives attack and health bonuses is a strong card (aspect of the wild, earthmother’s blessing) and always give the advantage to the player who have it in play. GC able us to have multiple copies of the buff in play making our puny little 2 cost ally bigger and harder to kill.

Many have tried their version of the deck and all are successful in their own way. GC deck is arguably the strongest deck in Core right now able to kill the opposing hero by turn 5 consistently and also, has an explosive turn mid-late game.

In our version I tried to have as many protectors as possible for defense and because most ally with protectors has high health they will probably survive until a [Grand Crusader] hits the board.

Some cards we used in our version are not used in other GC builds, they are:

[Blessing of the Kindred] – This card is a mini GC and is a great addition to the deck. Calling the warrior class for its effect, your opponent will have a hard time killing your protectors early on. Plenty of warriors are included in the deck to maximized BotK’s effect.

[Cairne, earthmother's Chosen] Stash

[Telor Sunsurge] – turn 1 protector
[Lordann the Bloodreaver] – insane protector

4 [Kazbaz] – Elusive and Protector

Another card I included is:

[Ruby Stalker] – a dragonkin for girdle’s effect, gives your allies stealth to pass through opposing protectors.
not really a great card many may say but I’ll choose this over [Bronze Drake] for this deck.

Here is a complete list of the deck I’m using on local BG’s right now.

Hero: [^Rohashu, Zealot of the Sun]

4 [Grand Crusader]
4 [Blessing of the Kindred]
2 [Blessing of Faith]
2 [Righteous Cleanse]

4 [Twilight Citadel]

4 [Seeds of their Demise]

4 [Cairne, Earthmother's Chosen]

4 [Bronze Warden]
4 [Ruby Stalker]
4 [Telor Sunsurge]
4 [Bronze Drakonid]
4 [Lordann the Bloodreaver]

4 [Dagax the Butcher]
4 [Kazbaz]

4 [Etched Dragonbone Girdle]
4 [Bottled Light]

Worlds Championships is just right around the corner and I’m really expecting 3-4 GC decks on the top 8 core constructed. Good luck to all!!!

Goblins of Anarchy Showdown Deck

 

The Day of the Showdown has finally come. After months of Draft Rally to collect the Goblin Bikers we can now put them to good use.

The bikers are the pinnacle of over powered cards and are entirely in a different level in terms of what they do.

Having to collect and complete them all means a higher chance of winning the Showdown
and including them in a deck in which you can search for the biker you need is another step in winning the tournament.

Goblin of Anarchy Showdown is as simple has who has the most Goblin Bikers played wins and that’s a fact.
Many may play a [Grand Crusader] Deck with Bikers this Showdown Weekend because of obvious reasons.

One [Grand Crusader] just screams to be used with the bikers.

And Two Bottled Light calls the dead bikers back for more effectiveness.

Here is a Sample GC Biker list:

 

Hero: [^Rohashu, Zealot of the sun]

4 [Grand Crusader]
4 [Righteous Cleanse]
4 [Blessing of the Kindred]

4 [Bottled Light]

4 [Seeds of their Demise]

4 [Cairne, Earthmother's Chosen]

4 [Telor Sunsurge]
4 [Lordann the Bloodreaver]
4 [Kazbaz]
4 [Dagax the Butcher]
4 [Bronze Drakonid]

3 [Time]
3 [Money]
4 [Power]
4 [cunning]

2 [Sinestra]

 

As Simple and strong as it may seem,

I really think that GC bikers is not the Strongest Deck for the Showdown.
Ever since the bikers we’re previewed I already made up my mind to use them on a Warlock Deck.

Why? because of one reason… Summoning Portal. Summoning Portal is the one card that warlock has to trump all other classes,

with this card you can search the biker you lack so that their activated powers can be maximized.
Warlock also has the draw power(Life Tap) and great early removals(Fel Blaze and Fel Flame).
The Addition of [Soul Swap] from the latest expansion Throne of the Tides and [Intensify] from War of the Elements gave the deck an Out of No Where win condition which can be pulled of as early as turn 5-6.

 

Another card that will win you games is [Sinestra], with the assault x coming from biker power and/or additional attack bonus coming [from Fel Flame], Sinestra can easily Eat your opponents Hero.

And so, I give my Goblins of Anarchy Showdown list to the World!!!

 

Hero: [^Amaxi the Cruel Back]

4 [Fel Flame] 4 [Fel Blaze]
4 [Summoning Portal]
4 [Demonic reclamation]
4 [Life Tap]
3 [Soul Swap]
3 [Intensify]

4 [Sardok]
2 [Timriv the Enforcer]
2 [Sinestra]
2 [Bronze Drakonid]

4 [Time]
4 [Money]
4 [Cunning]
4 [Power]

4 [Warchief's Revenge]
4 [Seeds of their Demise]

See you guys this Weekend at the Goblins of Anarchy Showdown!

Atlantean Mage

September 26th, 2011 | Posted by aventhunderer in Deckbuilding | General Information - (1 Comments)

Now that the Full Spoiler of the Throne of the Tides expansion is available, a new Metagame Puzzle is at hand. Will Nature  decks together with Warlock Toolbox and the Ethched Dragonbone Girdle + Twilight Citadel Class continue to be the dominant archetypes? or will the other Class finally have a spark of hope to stand to the competition?
Are the Cards from the New WoWTCG set enough for a come back?
a come back for whom? or what?

the Answer?

the Mage Class!

This Class has been one of the mostly played in the past years of wowtcg and they’ve been on the top of the ranks ever since, but not in the Worldbreaker Block Constructed Format. Mages are almost non-existent in this format, their arsenal compared to the plated and warlocks are way too weak and with their 25 health, Mages are too fragile against aggressive decks.

Now that Throne of the Tides will be arriving at our shores soon, a new format is about to be explored and a New Faction joining the War!

Throne of the Tides introduces the Monster Faction and a whole lot of new races, the Murlocks Rushing and Swarming, Ogre Smashing and Pummeling, and Naga Thinking while Swimming?

Seriously! a Naga Mage will be released in the first set of the Aftermath Block and she has a very useful Flip Power! Now I’ll definitely Play with Her (evil grin)

 

Atlantean Mage

Hero: [^Lady Sira'kess] [^Lady Sira'kess Back]

2 [Neptulon]

4 [Glaciate]
4 [Frostfire Bolt]
4 [Glacial Tomb]
4 [Monstrous Frostbolt Volley]

3 [Focus Magic]
3 [Arcane Barrage]

4 [Bottled Knowledge]

4 [Bottled Spite]

 

4 [Abyssal Maw]

4 [Tidal Elemental]
4 [Servant of Neptulon]

4 [Gilblin Deathscrounger]
4 [Revenant of Neptulon]
4 [Commander Ulthok]
2 [Neptulon, the Tidehunter]
2 [Kolorath]

I came up with the above list after i saw the spoiler list of Throne of the Tides, I saw Neptulon’s Revenant and Servant and immediately Abyssal Maw popped out of my mind thus exploring the depths of the water elemental concept became my top priority.

Consistent Healing to Stall until Kolorath arrive to control the board is not Bad for a plan.

Since I play Mage for sometime now, I first look at what possible cards to use from my class, Tidal Elemental was the first to be recognized followed by Arcane Barrage.
Focus Magic is the new Arcane talent card and is a possible draw 4 if you’re lucky enough, it’s almost always a draw 2 for 4 cost.
Another new addition from the new set is Bottled Knowledge, this card is like [Darkness Calling] with double effect.

These card draws are really needed specially now that most quests are hard to complete and gives little reward.

Glaciate and Frost Wave serves as stall cards and card cycle to dig faster on to your deck.

Finally, the New Master Hero Neptulon was added because 40 cards in the deck are either frost or frost icon and I also thought that the Fire Resistance key word will save you in some if not most of your matches.

I really can’t wait for Throne of the Tides to arrive and I’ll definitely play with this deck.

You’ve seen it here First!
