    Hello I played Poxnora way back probably 7-8 years ago and never really got into Battleground games. I have played a few games way back but I was very young, 10-11, and I felt Poxnora was way too slow and felt complicated. Throughout the years I come back to this game and try a Battleground game but,once again, both sides seem to avoid being the aggressor. So here I am once again trying to get back into the game and expand beyond just playing Singleplayer. However, I dread the fact that no one aggresses and the game drags on for longer than it should. It frustrates me when I decided to finally attack and then get murdered even when I try to save some AP and not fully advance.

    I believe I have more IS runes than any other factions so I would like to perfect an IS deck unless the faction is very underpowered then I guess I have to grind for another faction.

    If I had to make up a deck this would be it although I am definitely looking for runes to replace the barbarians with:

    Here is a deck I found on Steam that was posted in 2014. Thoughts on this one?

    Any tips/criticism on the deck and/or Battlegrounds will appreciated! Thanks.

    On the subject of no1 being the aggressor, try and find a way to play that combats that style of play. Play a deck or try and find a deck that tailors to that playstyle. Things like power turn spells, AP gen, Crowd Control and Relocation can help a lot.

    The game inherently gives an advantage to the defender due to movement requiring AP, but im sure there are ways to combat it. A more experienced player can probably help in this regard.

    Welcome back, hope you stick around. :)

    Edit: On subject of that decklist u posted, you should consider dropping the champion count to 16-17 champions, replace the removed champs with some spells/relics/equips

    Such as:

    https://poxbase.com/relic/15
    https://poxbase.com/relic/189
    https://poxbase.com/equipment/131

    And try to get your warbanner asap: it can drop from skirmishes if you're playing IS and you can get it if you buy the IS avatar in the store. You only need one.

    Hello. I am just returning again after constant ins and outs with this game. I feel like this time I should advance into PvP to really experience the game and see if I should keep going, and I really want to stick with this game. I have many IS runes so I want to make an IS deck. One thing that I hated when I did play PvP was having these long drawn out turns where both sides just save AP. I usually initiate and then get murdered.

    Question is what would be a good theme of IS to master in PvP, like counters to those people who just don't move a single unit. I am usually aggressive.

    Here is the link of a dwarf deck I would make if I,personally, need to build one so it's probably not good.

    Also any tips/tricks would be welcome as well!
