[Official] Sky Blitz | Sky Blitz

It's good that you guys are agreeing, this should make my following request relatively easy.

Post an effective stall deck using Sky Blitz.

This should further add to discussion.

[Blazing Moonwalker]

This is my deck that is rather effective in pvp1. Games have lasted at most 13 turns so far, and it's won most of the games I've played.

I'm not a great deck builder, so just use it as a rough example

I think 6 sundials in a 30 card deck are enough to count it as a stall.

Cloaked Dragons. Didn't test on PvP, but I'm sure it would do great.

Any form of mass scarab generation with gravity + blitz.

[QuantumT]

I generally agree with what has been said by Day. I just want to add one thing.

Cloaked Dragons isn't really a meaningful example, as Sky Blitz is mainly in there to take advantage of the AI. It does still highlight the card's only real function, which is ambush. If it weren't for miracle though, 5 dragons would definitely be better.

Mmno. With Cloaked Dragons I often win on the last turn (calculated, sure, but still on the last turn). If I didn't have the Blitz, the game would've taken a turn longer in which it's possible that I would've been killed by Poison/Momentum. Sure, not a big change, but then again how many cards DO delay ALL opponents for 2 or more turns?

Plenty of the games where I have trouble dealing enough damage are the ones where I just stuck twiddling my thumbs looking at that sky blitz in my hand, where a dragon could have been beating down on the opponent every turn.

As for PvP, I foresee it having issues with the rush decks that are so prevalent in PvP.

How exactly are you stalling for long enough to set that up?

More OT, I agree that it should effect quinted creatures. Based on the wording of eclipse and blitz, I don't see any good reason why one should be effective and not the other.

[Blazing Moonwalker]

Sky Blitz costs less than dragons, so if you balance correctly, if the dragons can be played, the Blitz often can too. That shows that it works at least in a dragon stall. The pvp1 deck I posted proves it works.

Easy to mix into a pegasus decks, using pendulums, and possibly Miracles.

I think the card works fine.

I typically use it in tandem with Damsels/Wyrms instead of dragons. The scary part about this is that you can partner with and use Vampires/Gargoyles/Cloak as well, making a very tough creature deck. Of course, there is inherent weakness (Firestorm) but against targeted or a lack of CC/PC, the deck is relatively fast and very difficult to stop. It is simply a "win one turn earlier" card.

Eagle, buckler, fire storm are the CC, explosions are the PC.

Actually, do not save up the dragons, that unfortunately only works for a healer stall. Play out 1 or 2 dragons, save up 8 quantas, double up and win. If you dont draw the skyblitz, save up 12 quantas and play another dragon. 

I know it is only a start, I didnt manage to cram more cards in a 30 card deck. You could always consider dropping a firestorm for a sky blitz.

Can defeat ai5's.

I don't know why the picture looks funny, I swear is only 30 cards. It can be tweaked a bit, and it wouldnt be the end of the world if it had 31-32 cards of course.

[Blazing Moonwalker]

Well I think the response shows that it fits nicely in several places, so the cost reduction isn't very necessary. I don't think the -1 would make much difference anyway.

[Daytripper]

That is true, a cost reduction of 1 wont make it a rush card. If it were so cheap it could fit a rush it would be massively OP. I see it as a late card. You build up very slowly, fortifying the game and getting some quantas. You control the field and drop some dragons. Then you play it to win a bit faster so you don't die.

[QuantumT]

What I find telling about all of these decks is that they all only contain a single sky blitz, and it's not even really important to the functioning of the deck.

[Blazing Moonwalker]

If it's used as a method of ending up a stall game why would you want several copies? You only need 1 and you don't need it early, so 1-2 is sufficient.
