this could use a balance ,
this is sort of stall/rush, if opponent uses discord, get bonewall up quickly and then use sanctuary, can get to huge amount of poison to the opponent.., could work alot better with those arsenics upped, and of course i'l be tweaking this deck.


will post more ideas after i'l test them.

after testing and changing, i got to this :

ok, now this deck goes for more stall poison, healing while poisoning, that's preety simple, and other teams may be ready for poison, not sure they will prepare for this kind.

The thing I stupidly forgot to send you before going on holiday (sorry):

Sadly, most of them use Poison, which is definitely going to be too predictable for the first few rounds (then again, we can take advantage of that due to the fact that we'll face either Novabows either Water/[Element] duo's, so we can predict CC stalls or fast rushes... That really doesn't help much -_-.

Others probably have similar builds.  I'm not wedded to mine but it's a good deck to have around.  Side note: My guess is every team will have a novagrabby this time around.  We should consider using more RTs in our decks than we might've for previous wars.

Fractal decks

The 1.27 addition of soul catcher provides great fuel for fractal death decks.  Obvious choices for fractal are:
 - virus (to fuel subsequent fractals)
 - spark (to fuel subsequent fractals)
 - bone dragon
 - flesh recluse

I've found fractal vulture decks too slow and weak compared with bone dragons (or even mummies).

Further, I'd expect opponents to play fractal decks against death with some frequency to counter bone walls.  This should result in our being able to salvage fractals if necessary.

Code: [Select]

52h 52h 52h 52k 52k 52k 52p 52p 52p 52p 52p 52p 52v 52v 52v 52v 52v 622 622 622 622 63a 63a 63a 63a 63a 63a 63a 63a 63a

This fractal dragon deck seems vulnerable, especially against opponents without fragile creatures. 

Replacing the plagues with viri / retroviri for fractalling helps here+1 skull shield will provide a few death effects as well.Vultures take too long to get going in this context ... better to replace with more viri / dragons / sparks

Code: [Select]

This deck works pretty well as is, although it is slow compared to options which take advantage of the new soul catcher card.  On the plus side, it packs quite a bit of defense.

This deck is solid.

This deck works too, although again I'd consider using soul catcher with fractal spark to fuel an explosion of dragons.  (e.g., soul catcher + aether towers + fractal spark + bone wall + dragon)

Mrblonde's mono-death rush is obviously worth considering (i think arsenic would be additive).

DD said here  (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,23665.msg323766#msg323766)we may only have a couple days to finalize vaults so we best get crackin.

Well here's some relatively vanilla but effective decks.  I think we should consider having exposure to these cards even if the decks themselves are unspectacular.  Like I said, with a renewed emphasis on nova and immo this War, RT may serve us nicely.

[MrBlonde]

Been running around all day and i forgot that this was posted in the General section. This is the timer we have for vaults. So we have a little time.


run out of time

[xn0ize]

we  really should take a day when everyone can log into chat, and we could decide everything .

[MrBlonde]

Agreed. Weekends really suck for me unfortunately and i know xdude is not going to be on much if at all. I will start doing prelim vault stuffing later tonight. Hopefully Monday or Tuesday we can all get together and get this hashed out.

Concerning Rasta i think i might need to talk to Kael/DD/SG to see how we need to proceed and perhaps get a replacement if he doesn't come back.

I really feel like Rasta's PM was a joke because... well... he's smarter than that.  If I'm wrong about Rasta, now is a bad time for xdude, and we're losing ICB for awhile, the rest of us need to step up and start making some decisions.

I'll be on from 1-4pm EST tomorrow (and sporadically at other times).  I won't be on Monday at all but Tuesday I'll be on 10am-6pm EST.  Can you meet up during any of those times, blonde?
