Discovered a somewhat crazy combo today.
Oty + BB + Epi = 2 turn epic CC.

The main combo is Oty + BB + Epi. The rest are fillers.
How can this be improved?

EDIT: so based on the suggestion, this is the optimized version:

I suggested that combo once in the Deck Help section to someone who didn't have upped cards xD
Personally I don't think BB is needed since Heavy Armor can do the job as well except you want to eat Armagios, too ^^

However, I'd replace the Graboid for SoFo, providing a bit PC, the Gargoyle for a Vamp Dagger if you want to keep the crusader. The rest seems standard Rainbow
I like it, I'm a fan of Otyugh especially when playing against Arena

Well, plain plate armor should suffice in most cases unless you want to devour creatures...
Also the combo is too card-specific and gimmicky; how often can it be executed from your experience?

[Absol]

Well, the BB can also be used as CC, and the Epi for extra damage. You only need one super Oty, the rest can be used for offense.

[Chapuz]

I will try to work on this idea, it seems very viable to do many things!!

EDIT: I have tries to make something more focused on the trainer, just with Otys, epis, BB and TU. It was a too slow combo to dominate AI4 =(

So i heard someone said "Cloak and Dagger".

The reason why Cloak as a mechanic is suitable for Darkness is that Darkness is also about stealth, a.k.a. Cloak and Dagger.  While I see that it could be suitable for other elements, I feel that should they deserve the mechanic at the appropriate time, there will be some flavor thrown in.

It's a debate about Cloak. Anyway, the important thing is, this gave me inspiration.
And this is the deck.

It's still far from optimal. Mainly lack of damage.
Can haz improve?

good renewable CC, good renewable PC ----> good rewewable denial too!

can draw fast and prevent deckout, has decent critters and the worst that can really happen to the deck is a bad starting hand and bad draws alltogether

what do you think?
