Liquid Shadow Hidden Gargoyle

[OdinVanguard]

Here's a nifty deck idea I had. It uses earth as mark to power gargoyles but is otherwise mono dark. Might also make a good duo with earthquake added

The idea is pretty straight forward. Play gargoyles -> use abilty to get extra hp -> Use liquid shadows to make hard to kill vamps with a good punch.
Cloak and steal can help make sure they live to become all grown up. Eclipse (or nightfall) may also be useful if they need just that little extra at first (eg in case of owls eye or a firestorm). Also, liquid shadow makes a good cc for some smaller pests like squids and maxwell's demon.

Y U NO ADD DEVOURER AND EQ.

Eq makes it duo. Devourer might be useful, but I was worried it would get in the way of getting to my gargoyles and shadows

I would still add 6 devourers, since it helps a lot against some decks.

And it will slow down against others...
I agree with odin


I think you can better make it a 30 card deck
isn´t 15 pills a bit too much?

Hello,
this is a version I played for a few days now.
it's a nice and effective grinder at silver, but it's not consistent enough to grind gold.

synergies work well and liquid shados could be used as a decent CC if needed. I think it could work very well also un-upped - and yes, devourers / pests are a MUST in any case in a deck like this (they speed you up, whatever the adversary, while slowing him down as well

EQ is no great addition to this deck. Your goal when using EQ is to deny your opponent his game. So, if you slow down your opponent's offense (or defense) with EQ, you want to rush him down asap before he can recover, not have some defensive low damage combo.

My opinion:

-The deck can use 2 or 3 Dragons as a finisher.

-The deck does not need Devourers, despite their strength. Gargoyle+LS costs too many cards to splash in six 0 (or 2) damage creatures.

Remember that devourers are quanta producers too.

[Marsu]

.. I do. :p But you can't do -6 Pillars +6 Devs, -2 Pillars +6 Devs is more realistic. And then you're still at 4 additional 0 damage cards which is just too much when you want to use the LS/Garg combo imo.

The version posted above is probably already the perfect Dev/Garg/LS deck, but I bet it often loses due to lack of damage.

@Marsu, I loved devourers for the definitive synergy between earth mark and Darkness deck, but your criticism is well supported: I will try removing devourers and adding some towers and dragons - "experience is cheap" as they say

thanks for the suggestion, I will let you know!
