Trying to make a competitive spirit deck which uses surge. I have a deck I'll show when I get home that is coming along, only has xulous non spirit for essence drain and alt damage. Main problems I find with surge spirit decks are certain maps and draws are very weak, and they are almost all either weak to magical or have magical attack.
How is this deck working for you? I have just recently returned after 3years and am looking for spirit deck ideas. Mainly with Utterdark Spectres /Vaporize/ Stealth.
Only ever really ran it for fun till I found a good deck I could afford. Which is meta (the same as you said basically)
My deck is 2x Elsari Votary 2x Elsarin Reaper 1x Inkblight Witch(would have two if owned two) 2x Ravenwraith 1x Serkan 2x Soul Collector 2x Stitched Librarian 1x Tormented Priest 2x Utterdark Spectre 2x Wailing Banshee 1x Xulos Chains of Corruption Domination Essence Drain Hungry Dead Mobilization Soulbane Elsarin Vex Grim Well Unholy Tomb Crown of Corruption 2x Shield of Darkness Is that current meta?
I'm theory it is, and I usually run it 1 x. There are a few proble3ms. One is that rift bound sucks as a modifier in general, so the dmz isn't as useful as it should be. Second is that the effects of haunt aren't felt until the time limit ends. Meaning it does not matter if the relic dies or not. Lastly, unless you are using a haunting spirit, the relic kill effect of haunt takes far to many turns to come into effect.
literally only one of those things is relevant to the effectiveness of haunt. everything else is just dribble
Immunity magical and mirrored caused me to lose quite a few games. Overall I like the mason spire aaryo portal variant. I actually like zombies the most of any FW theme atm. They have the best cheap meat, and pretty decent damage. Black pearls with zombies are my favorite thing to run, and I don't even have a single legendary zombie. You can shatter a black pearl on an enemy melee, or use it on a cheap 50 nora unit of your own. Plus they actually can win games with dead zone voodoo, since their units are so strong with little support In general, any unit in FW which benefits from staying alive is either going to be completely op or garbage is my theory. Which is why I'm not really a fan of surge decks, since they require units to be alive to be effective. Zombie apocalypse is perfect on the other hand. It basically says, you need 5 units for a swarm effect. But after this 5, you don't benefit anymore, meaning you can safely sacrifice units. I'm pretty sure my Bane Shift talking alone influenced a lot of the skeketon attention. Before I came into the game, the goto theme was zombies. I think the low player base, and forum attention made skeketon the more visible theme, however, I really can't imagine they are better than zombies. I think aaryo is a great theme with great design potential, but riftbound is far too weak of a modifier, and surge is stupid with fw.
Its less that he actually uses 2 soulreaves a game, its more that he actually needs to consistently draw soulreave to not auto lose to mirrored/immunity At least, im assuming.
Anyway I could get the names of those runes? I've returning and can only match a few pictures with names. x.x
I like to make luck as little a factor as possible, which is why I prefer zombie decks over any other FW decks atm.
