Rush Series: Death

[Zarovich]

Death is a somewhat hard element to come up with a good rush deck. I have thought about this one for a little bit, because not many creatures are very powerful, and death is mainly based off of creature control (Virus, Plague, Etc.) Well, here is my attempt!! :

This deck is rather powerful. Use the Poisons early and play mummies before spiders as they have 5 attack for 4 quantum whereas the spiders are 3|3 for 3 quantum
PRO'S

• Poison is hard to stop
• Creatures have low quantum cost

CON'S

• Weak to creature control, as the creatures ALL have 5 HP or less
• Very hard to win against shields, as most of the creatures are weak and Death does not have permanent control

Pretty effective (Tested in Trainer) Was a close game but did win. Let's Go!

This deck (I will say it right now) Is probably one of the worst RUSH decks

That's because it's not a rush deck.

Take out the 5 Viruses, 2 Bone Walls, 4 Vultures, and 3 Boneyards, and add 4 Bone Dragons, 1 Poison, 6 Mummies, and 3 Bone Pillars.

In a rush deck, you want an onslaught of damage. Again, look at Skillgannon's (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,657.0.html) for inspiration.

Upgraded Recluses are 6/3 for 3 which works great for a rush type deck.

Whoa...didn't see the mummy before! ;p Ok will update deck!

Yeah, I was deliberating between Mummies and Recluses, but decided on Mummies because they look cooler. And they do more damage, I guess.

Not upgraded; an upgraded Mummy is still 5/3 I think.  The Recluse cost doesn't go up either.  As to the new version he posted, much better!  I still suggest removing two dragons in favor of a Recluse or Poison or Mummy (its really personal preference) but the cost of the dragons is much higher compared to anything else there.  Also, an Arsenic or 2 wouldn't hurt the deck.

I guess upgraded, Flesh Recluses > Mummies, but unupped, Mummies > Flesh Spiders.

The new deck is considerably better. Here is a deck that can actually be considered a rush deck

[Zarovich]

Lol thanks guys! Yes I agree, recluse> mummy but spider<mummy. Upped mummy is 3 quanta for 5/3 also though. Definitely not one of the first things to upgrade in this deck

I'd say -4 dragons, +2 Poison, +1 Mummy, +1 Spider.
