New Decks

[JChadbourne]

Are there any new deck ideas out there from the new set?? Is anyone willing to share any or are they still all hush hush? Like other games, I would like to see more people share there deck lists and offer new ideas. That way they can get other peoples ideas and input.

I understand that we all want to be competitive but why not share some ideas. Post a 1.0 version of a deck. and see what others people said.

Also is there anyplace in new england area that still play? I am mainly interested in Maine, New Hampshire and Mass.

You read my mind as I was wondering the same thing about decks right now. Although I have been playing around with the DU cards, I haven't actually sat down and built a deck yet. This might be bc I haven't played in a tourney lately or something due to always being busy on the weekends as of late, but I don't want to end up behind. I'm gonna seriously sit down and post something up right here real soon. I, for one, am not one to hide my decks or anything like that.

As far as NE playing ME, look in the Demos and Events section to see which areas around you might house gaming. In the meantime, I'll try and ask some of the guys from that area directly what's going on with them. (NE housed the original "elite" of the game, and I'm sure some of them are still lurking around). Keith might also help with the second part of your question.

Be back soon...

Thanks for responding. I have started working on decks but i have only gotten 1 out of my 3 boxes thus far so i dont ave the card pool yet. I should recieve my other 2 boxs by this weekend and I will be posting a new deck list on Monday after I get together with a local play testing group.

I made the flying Sutraps deck and made a few alterations. Agian I do not have the card pool to fill it out but this will becoming as well. Hopefully I will be able to post that deck list tonight after the play testing group has thought about it and made the needed changes.

As for new england housing the original elites, I amnot sure that all of the good players ever made it to a game. I cannot argue with the ratings, but I know that at least 2 people fromMaine never made it to a game that was sanctioned. Hopefully theNew England players will start coming out of the wood work and playing regularly again.

While I get my decks going, I found this link of a deck posted by our good friend Thrall King. It was Halloween theme oriented, but it used Dark Union cards. Take a look...

northeastgames.proboards76.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1160788779&page=1#1161661055

Some of it looks pretty interesting indeed. Hopefully that will get the ball rolling a bit, and we'll come back with other deck ideas.

This is a fun deck to play and can stall out most games until you gain control and then dominate the board...

Grimus Gravoreious

3 tax collector
4 corpes collector
3 mind eraser
3 tree-ent
2 vorex
3 zombie lord
3 zombie warrior
4 cranial Leech
3 wandering claric
3 pathfinder
2 reanimator
3 acolyte
1 phoenix
2 jared firemonger
2 twisted sorcerer

1 Ring of zombie lord
2 crystal ball
2 ring of temporal acceleraction

2 Peripheral whispers(not sure of this)
1 dark Union

What are your thoughs of the deck?? What would you change and why, if anything??

[Thrall King]

Well, I see you have a few cards with sacrifice abilities, but there is a loack of fodder for them unles you are going to do the staggered wandering cleric trick. And I see you have not posted in a few months so I will say this in case you were planning it. The sac the Vorex, resurrect disengaged with Cleric, disengage Cleric, repeat combo is nerfed. Vorex does not come into play disengaged any longer.

Also Q, I made a new deck with DU cards that I will post later that I have been running well. I call it "Evil Shiny Monkey Shenanigans". The reason is because I use what I call the Shiny Monkey stragey. Play a card that is overtly threatening and while they concentrate on it hit them with something else. Think of it as jingling your keys in front of them and then slapping them with the other hand. I had Braqmentar and Grognoth Z'reck on turn one. 2 Shiny Monkeys!

The Vorex is just another Acolyte but for any creature. Every creature in that deck is fodder for sacing. Card advantage is huge in any card game. And he can help cast Dark Union.

The deck takes advantage of wandering cleric and any good creature. I will be changing a few cards once I get my 2 boxs of dark union.

Or sac some zombies and draws cards, there are lots of different options with this deck. Seams to have many answers for alot of the decks.

Acolyte+Mind Eraser+Wandering Cleric+Twisted Sorcerer= You have no cards in hand, and I have alot
Zombie Lord+Twisted Sorcerer= 2 draws for 1 creature
Cranial Leech + Dark Union+ Wandering Cleric= You have no creatures and I have lots of Zombies.
Reanimator+Twisted Sorcer+Any creature=almost as good as wandering cleric.
Wandering Cleric+Pathfinder=Free card play

So there are alot of different things that you can do with this deck. Build it and give it a try

I am working on a new deck for ME that has tons of DU in it right now its going to be a rogue heavy deck. I can't wait til firestorm comes out so I can put to together my playtester.

[Thrall King]

I am not allowed to play my rogue deck anymore ;D, not really, but I have noticed there are not too many rogues in DU. In fact, the only DU in the deck is Slaver.

[JChadbourne]

How about a deck list?

Why are you not a loowed to play your rogue deck any more? That makes not since to me. Maybe I just have not seen a well constructed one.

So about that deck list?

[JChadbourne]

are there any new decks now? Since there has now been time to be creative witht he new cards what have people found??

Hopefully with the demo tour this game will get a kick off again. It semas that it has died down.
