I've always wanted to play this build, but I haven't put it together yet. Let me know what you think about it and help me fill in the blanks. Champs Bliss x1 (for obvious reasons) Elven Artisan x1 Elven Page x2 (Mena's Apprentice for Mindwipe) Elven Strategist x2 (Pull in Prismatic Crystals) Menalaus x1 (for Mena's Apprentice and general coolness) Spirit of Endurance x2 (Soothing Serenade) Spirit Singer x2 (Soothing Serenade) Twisted Freak x2 (Set Ablaze) Woodland Diplomat x2 (Mindwipe) Spells Ancestral Anger x1 (to counter melee) Reclaim x2 (for obvious reasons) Truce x1 (for obvious reasons) Relics Prismatic Crystals x2 Equips Horn of Order x1
the problem with pacify is that they can freely disengage, so they ignore your champs (you dont have very hard hitters) and go for font contest/engage lighter units.
I played a deck like this a lot. It worked really well against decks with a few strong champs. It was pretty worthless against decks with a lot of champs. Still, debuffs like this were fun to play! Edit: Definitely trash that Truce. It is terrible. Edit II: If you play Reclaim a lot, you might consider a champ with Pin Down.
When making decks like this, I suggest not going "all in" on the idea. From my experience it just works out better for it to be the sub theme of a well rounded bg. So i could see a fae bg build with a focus on pacidied working better. Your not exactly unable to kill champs because the theme itself would work okay without the pacified focus.
The idea was to sustain a pacified condition on central melee units while hitting them from distance. Do you think I could sustain that?
if you haveways to stun/paralyze etc them inside, yes. if not, they will just be pacified 1 turn, disengage and go for your ranged units.
I used a bg like this, but also ran a lot of champs with blind along with running x2 blinding flash, carnivorous vines, devolve, brambles etc. Problem I ran into was always spot cleanse, cleansing emerald, cleanse equips. If you want split it with fw for extra mind wipe aura.
