Title: poison rush for plat
Post by: [A] on August 30, 2017, 06:58:09 pm

An attempt to make a poison deck, one that is less susceptible to purifies and mass healing

Current problems:
-Unlike pdials, which has SoD, no way to regain lost hp (for SoSac) other than holy flashes.
-Bricked if I open with holy flashes and no tower
-Occasional deckout (pretty painful, I'm usually off by 1 turn)

Kind of reminds me of this (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/duo-decks/speed-poison-kamikaze-(gold)(plat)/).

I don't see why the holy flashes are in there-- the healing doesn't really seem to be worth the card space.

Thanks for the link aves! That was pretty helpful
But since I wanted to use 6 SoB, the holy flashes are there to actually increase the amount of cards in the deck so I don't deck out as quickly. As for the healing, I feel like having the holy flash heals in is better than having only SoSac (because often you get stuck in bad situations with only sosac as defense/heals)

To avoid deckout, you can slow down or stop the usage of SoB when you see that you're low on cards-- you don't have to play it all the time. This allows you to avoid the odd deckout without adding inconsistency with the 3 extra 0 cost cards. I still don't think the Holy Flash is worth it.The lack of healing is an issue, but one that can be worked around by playing around with SoSac timing. You don't always need to heal from it, just take less damage.

I think the easiest way to go about this to bypass Poision Dial's weaknesses is to make it a rainbow based deck or Death/Light pendulum deck. Possibly utilize deadly poison as purely a counter to purifies so take 3-4 of them instead of 6. Add in crusaders, maybe a couple blessings. Instead of Shard of Bravery, I'd run precog and Time Mark, to reduce deck outs.

Not too sure what to do here LOL it seems like a completely different deck now. We're forced to overquanta for light.

If use vader sader template

Sosac is unusable

also time mark+ precog draw engine is kind of bad here

Or use it when your opponent has 6 or 7 cards in its hand so that you only draw 1 or 2 instead of 3.

The build you have right now is just PDials (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/trio-quartet/poison-dials-sosac-(fg)(arena)/) with some crusaders, AW, and blessings thrown in.

The original build, just to add on, is similar to what they call Speed Poison Kamikaze (that was what is saved under my deck lists)

I think it's objectively worse tbh since it's weak to more things now


And yeah I've found that speed poison is very similar to what i'm running, guess its a mod of it, lol
