Yeah. @Pedeguerra kicked my butt last night. I changed the deck up with the patch and it took longer to get used to than I was expecting. I also learned that trying to chat with my girlfriend while playing Pox leaves us both dissatisfied. Went 0-3 before good ole Kernok gave me my first win of the night and I started chatting less and focusing more. I am sure the deck is either good or a couple of changes away from being good.
Deck is solid. On our match you could have used a better lineup of champs, you were missing a tank in there.
I'm not saying forced Reconstruction is a better spell than Marsh song. I just prefer it over Marsh song because FS doesn't have Nora issues already so I just see no need in including it. Forced Reconstruction gives you a summoned misshapen Boghopper that comes with upgrades and comes into play with initiative one. It's too good to pass up
I was wondering if Finlord's Neophyte would be a good addition to that bg, doubtofbuddha? Seems like a valid healing champion. Otherwise I've been looking at Marsh Warden and I like the champion even tho I havent tried him. I got 900 shards and dont know what to make. But anyway doesnt people rate Marsh Warden or?
Marsh Song turns FS's already strong nora advantage into one that is positively crushing. It is not about dealing with problems, but taking an already incremental advantage and making it even more overwhelming real. Forced Reconstruction is good. I used it willingly before it got changed to a sacrifice effect. However, I don't think it provides enough of an advantage to stand out over Marsh Song. Maybe instead of Lost Echoes.
I think Marsh Warden is too expensive for what he does. I do like Finlord's Neophyte though. I was looking at him long and hard before I settled on the Dark Marsh Instigator.
Yeah maybe, but with Detection and Logistics: Flanking he is down to 79 nora and I feel those are the best upgrades too. And a potential of 8 spd with both good melee and decent range attacks. He is maybe better in a poison thematic bg tho.
Hes not bad. High mobility and respectable damage, Arrowshot is a decent non basic attack if our deck is lacking in them for stuff like One With Nora. If you want detection though id rather run Shadow pesonally at a much cheaper nora cost, or just run Emergency Kit. Neophyte is well worth running if you desire a good healer, he also tanks ok. You have to pass up Cleanse though really, which i hate, because u want Neophyte on him, its a good ability, and u want Kartch and Gekaal out so u can take advantage of Neophyte. I like running 2x Neophytes when i do play him for consistency, i run him in a melee tank slot. Again Shaman is a cheaper option for healing though.
The simple problem with both the shaman (and to a lesser extent) the Neophyte is the that Spawnpool Guardian just brings to much more in the healer role. Like you basically decide between the reduced cost and piddly ranged damage of the shaman, the tankiness of the Neophyte or the extra meat of the guardian, and when you have that contest I think the meat comes on top.
I don't understand people's dismissiveness to boghopper elite, he's a great rune. Your opponent will drop a ranged champ in response always because he has block 2. But he also has opportunistic assualt.. Try him!
you could try something like this if you are clueless https://poxbase.com/deck/cgPCpNc30c8OcgICgUcg9cqWC3Jc2@cpuC5qs1sdsmS5Bs54s3vr2LrNr3irWe2Ge3oe2w
I run something fairly similar to that already. why no neophyte? why no shaman? I thought divine healing with command heal would be really strong?
There are a few different ways to build them and this discussion has reinvigorated my interest in playing with them. Anyway, here is a more aggressive build, with less healing and a focus on laying down as much pressure as possible: https://poxbase.com/deck/CgPCb2C30CgICg9cqWc2@ColC5qs1s7Zs6Ts1Ps1gs6-S5Bs54r2LrGrWe3oe3q
that bg is just a throw away of the boghopper runes with something of racial synergy plus some meta runes that happen to be boghoppers. You could run shaman and neophyte instead of guardian and enforcer
Destiny is not mandatory. I hardly run Horn of Order. Drown is an oversight. I was walking to the train and realized I needed to drop something for it. Probably marsh song. I am going to post 2 more bgs later tonight.
