Made this deck for PvP1 matches. Seems to do fairly well in PvP against newer opponents, but not so good against more established opponents. I've tried it in the BL and my record speaks for itself... not good.

The problem i'm finding is it's usually that little bit too slow. I find I lose by litterally 1 turn. I've tried addind 2 sundials or 1 dimensional shield, but find it just clogs the deck too much.

Just looking for any ideas and sugguestions ye might have.

Thanks in advance,

I recommend swapping in an arsenic for your vamp dagger.
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be. Speak the truth even when your voice falters.

Haha, that is actually what I originally had in. Great minds think alike and all that.
I put the vamp dagger in and took the arsenic out as I felt I had too many death cards and not enough quantra to play them.
I also didn't have a druid staff at the time, so I will go back and see if it makes any difference this time around.

Thanks for the advice

You could also swap out one blessing for one more momentum, seeing as momentum is cheaper, and you don't really need the extra damage, what you need is poison quickly. Furthermore, 1 nightfall for your deathstalkers could be helpful.

Ah yes the nightfall, completely forgot about that card. I reckon that could be the trick all right.

Cheers for that

This is the latest version

I decided to go without the arsenic's because the regen weapons were helping me out just enough

I went in a somewhat different direction, because when speed matters, i want something that does 2 damage a turn, because other than the first or second turn, you opponent usually only plays one card a turn. I also added some damage instead of having the extra control. I have not tried the original so i have no idea how it compares with it but

Tried this deck and it worked an absolute charm - 3 for 3 in AI3 and PvP1

The only thing I reckon is i'd take out the dune scorpion as by the time you get to play it, it's too late. It really has to come out in the first 2 hands for it to work

Will experiment more

Cheers man
