    Sup IS bros, i'm new to this faction. I haven't really played much ranked matches with IS and I wanna learn about the faction. Problem is, I have no clue what the meta spells, relics or equips are nowadays.

    I really like Grintmaws, the permanent 1+ health and the damage can give a pretty nice power turn if used properly. Anyway, here is my battle group.

    I would consider swapping out the Battle Chicken for another Marsh Troll, and finding a spot for another Heartstone or a Tales of Valor. Between UV and the Deafening Auras on the Singers you have plenty of detection/ghetto detection. Magnificents aren't as good as they used to be since the loss of Mirrored, but their early-game Mobility is top notch thanks to Crushing Charge, so I would leave them in.

    I would consider a Holy Blade over Earthgod Sigil, and potentially finding a slot for a Priest of Valdac simply for the Divine Favor.

    Is there a cheaper alternative to Holy blade? I don't have it and it's price is pretty high on Pox Box

    Sharding it likely. Look me up late tonight or the next two days and I will get you one.

    I actually just sharded enough for it. :) Thank you though!

    Looking better! I'm not 100% sold on Earthshaker, since it's taking up a spot your other Grintmaw Hymn should be in. It's a Grintmaw Deck, I would NEVER build one of those without 2x Hymn. It may not seem like it, but that's your powerturn spell. Get a good number of Grints out, force your opponent to pop it, and then go to town. Particularly useful if something key (Like a Bouncer) is low on HP, because they'll WANT it dead. Watch your positioning, though, since AoEs will chew through the buffer fast.

    I just like Earthshaker because it's 25 health, does aoe damage and gives a debuff. Also works well for Singers, but I could add in another Hymm. They are working pretty nice for me.
