I was running an Ichor deck against paladins, and I tried a different strategy. I tried to rush, instead of getting rushed. But it felt like I had a handicap all the time. My damage stats were barely above the defensive stats on his units. I tried using reapers blade and cursed blade, but it didn't help much. I got his units low but they healed right back up. I admit that I did some misstakes, but I would like to think that I should be allowed to some misstakes. Overall it was a really frustrating game and I would just like some tips to make things easier in the future.
The only thing I've seen work is to contest their fonts and swarm past them with superior numbers. Forget about trying to kill their champs, just keep them busy with meat while you go for the shrine. It can be very tough.
x2 obsidian venger with decay, or the spell "decay". Heal? LOL Pally maybe are expansive, so take a their font down will with time hurt them more than you.
