USEM tweaked for unupped use

[darkrobe]

I was playing with usem in the trainer and I liked it but i dont have any of the upped cards, so i tried it unupped. I found that with some minor tweaks to the mitosis version you can get pretty steady wins in AI3 with a good chance of EM.

play you creatures first. cheapest to most expensive. mitosis whatever you think helps. play sword then bonds

heals are for delaying till your bonds start working, or for end turn em.

Ah, the good ole' USEM.  The most basic of deck concepts.  I am just going to throw more of my ideas here on what a mono life can do in the push towards quick AI3 EM victory.

Short swords add damage, staffs add more healing.  If you are going to upgrade the swords, they are normally better for an all out rush.  In an un-upgraded deck, I would change the swords to staves. 

Most of the time I use mitosis or empathic bond, I like to have it in the forefront of my deck. In other words, I like to give it a more prominent role.  I like how you are setting it up as a side effect.  The one thing you need to be wary about is having so little PC or CC targets.  When you have two bonds in your deck, they will die most days, leading to being an almost in-effective piece of your deck.  It all depends on the AI you face.

Lastly, I like throwing a dragon or two into my mono-life decks.  They are the perfect counter to life's normal weaknesses.  They can fly, destroying wings. They have six HP, destroying simple CC. They hit a bit harder than any other life creatures, reducing the effect of shields.  Since life decks are quanta efficient most days, it is nice to draw a big 10 quanta dragon when you can play him instead of a simple 2 quanta frog.

It's insane how well decks like this work.  I'm ranked #2 in silver with a stereotypical greeny-weenie rush deck.  They're no fun to play, they're no fun to play against, but unless you draw just the right things, they have you beat in 8 turns or less.
