I've been out of the game for a good long while now (at least two "expansions"), and as such I have exactly no idea what is good anymore. Since I'm far from the only one, could folks kindly post up what decks are "meta" worthy at the moment? Or, if there is some form of database with such information I am unfamiliar with, to post up a link to such information? I'm personally most interested in Draksar and Dragons (Skywing or otherwise, since apparently Skywings are the new thing), I would love to see some proper lists!
No legendary draksar http://poxbase.com/#!/deck/CmCWcgLCoDCwxc63CjFChHCi4cqis6Ls6ws4isas84s73S7usYs5jrPr2qe22
Draksar with legendaries http://poxbase.com/#!/deck/CmCWckvcgLCptCoDc63CjFchHCi4cqis6Ls6ws4isas84s73S7usYs5jrPr2qe22
So, if one had access to all the available cards would http://poxbase.com/#!/deck/cpmCmCWCkvCt=CptCoDCgwchHcqiS6Ls6ws4is84s73S7usYs5jrPr2qe22 be more or less "ideal," or is something like the spellsword a specific meta answer. I also assume that detection is a must at this point, not so much shatter? (Last I played one needed 2x shatter, but detection wasn't really required.)
the spellsword is cheap and tanks magic, that's why it's included. I think that mengclans are top power within SL as a faction, I wouldn't try without 2x of it. and yes, I think that detection is a must and shatter an option.
Definitely noted. How required is the High Marshall? Dude seems stacked, but is nigh unto unavailable at this point. Now what about Skywings/Dragons?
Skywings: http://poxbase.com/#!/deck/CWCktCdnCdbCdQCi4CdmcqicjGc3-s6Ls6wsas7is84s73S7us5jrPr2qe4e1O I forgot to include purge on the draksar bg, corrected now.
I smell sarcasm, but if you've actually got a Tainted Statue deck that works I'd love to see it. A hope from bygone days you know. Does seem to be a current obsession, it sounds fun if nothing else. Show me a deck list!
It's not. Renovator is the greatest thing to happen to beast decks. As for decklist, my current build is utter trash because I don't have good runes anymore but basically you 2x herder then filter by beasts. Throw in 2x of everything worth running (howler, hunter, manticore), hope you have a Snog or 2, doomballs galore. Cut on spells, slap in 2 statues. Movntarget has a good build, I'll try to get it.
Sounds more fun that it has any right to be. I've got the doomballs, no Snogvie's sadly. Color me interested.
I'm highly interested to see a tainted statue deck if it's viable. Maybe tained makes more sense in a split?
Splitting SL/IS is nice, because you get tainted statue to stop spells, and armory to speed up equipments, and there are some nice ones to combine with recycle (now on ironfist collector) like draketooth rifle, and you can buff your range with rage band, mantles, forge hammers and tactical manuals. SP is good also because you have vicious harpoon, echo chamber, thunderhead totem, cleansing emerald and such, that are meta viable relics and equipments that replace almost directly the spells you are not including because of tainted statue.
Looking like Skywings are going to be my first foray into competitive in forever. How is this looking?: http://poxbase.com/#!/deck/CWCktCdnCdbcd3CdQCi4Cdmcqic3-S6Lsas7is84s5ts73S7us5jrPr3Qe1O Similarly, what are the recommended upgardes for everything here? (And for any other recommendations should I be missing something.)
Burn explained this in another thread that I'm too lazy to find. He likes them because they can get the 2ap on deploy from a previously deployed skywing. That 2ap is enough for to invigorate a nearby champ for 4ap. edit: She also does fill the detect hole as you mentioned.
