How would a "starting" (read budget) bg be like, and which would be the runes I would be substituting as I get more points? Also, are hyaenids solid as a BG? What are the pros and cons, and worst matchups? Thanks a lot in advance
this is a budget Nids bg (just 2 exos rest is C/UC/R but the must have is the spiritspeaker because is the only magic dmg available, the headsrhinker is good for detection and debuffs but for detection you can use the ghetto one with the breaker) it could work also without stalker,flamefist, witchdoctor and executiner https://poxbase.com/deck/CjOCfACz_CaDCaFCuFCaGC5TCfPs5Qs1ks7ys6Ys7Bs82r2Yr2ZrOe1Qe1-e1j Pro: a lot of debuffs and Dot, good at mid game Cons: lacking of late game
Hyaenids work best once you have more access to runes, imo. I think they are pretty good, but some of their better champs are more expensive (Executioner/Stalker/Flamefist). Here is a version of the deck I played to top 10 on the Coalitions patch in case it helps at all: https://poxbase.com/deck/ctBCfACz_ckxCx1CaFcuFcaHcfPcf@cfOcldCx0s5Qs1ks8=s7ys59s82r2Yr=r2ZrOe1Qe1j
Nids are kinda expensive but theyre great fun to play. will post my BG below https://poxbase.com/deck/cfAcz_Ckxcx1caFCuFcaGcaHC5TcfPCf@CwKs5Qs1ks6Ys59S82s5wr2Yr=r2ZrOe1Ke1j Im no good at budget there so i cant help ya much. i'll just say that the most essential high cost nid is probably sexecutioner.
