Upped Mono Death

[Pyrodinium]

Mine is similar, yet still has several differences.

-5 Bone Tower
+6 Death Pendulum

-1 Flesh Recluse
-4 Elite Mummy (Recluse beats these for hitting power, plus I need the room for other stuff.)
-1 Deadly Poison
+2 Ivory Dragon (Replacing the Mummies.  MUCH faster.)
+1 Arsenic
+2 Skull Buckler (You have no idea how many times these have saved my bacon.)

I use this effectively against AI3, AI4, Bronze, Silver, and Gold.  When things roll my way, I occasionally get a special spin in Plat.

I just added a deck code for your variant in case people want to take it for a spin.

Thanks!  Ya know, you'd think that someone as anal as I am would have done that automatically.

Lacking the Grey Nymph substitute another Ivory Dragon.  Technically this isn't "fully upped" since the Nymph is unupgraded.  But yeah - I think that technicality does not matter here.


A couple bucklers and that Nymph slow down the attack a bit (slower to deploy for the Nymph and 'does not attack' for the buckler) but allows you a chance to beat a faster rush or to win games where you draw slower than average.  This is due to most rushes (this one too!) relying on low HP creatures for the attack which have much higher chances to die against the Skull Buckler.

More cheap creatures, no shields and fewer heavy hitting expensive creatures which allows a slight quanta reduction too.  FAST but watch out for shields or quick mass CC (as with most Death rushing decks).
