Voodoo-Ver-Drive [Darkness][Gravity]

[Elbirn]

Hey all, working on making a darkness/gravity combo. Working title is "Voodoo-VerDrive"..Get it? It's a pun, involving voodoo dolls and over...drive? ....Forget it.

Anyhoo, here's what I've got so far.

The idea should be obvious. Play acceleration on Voodoo's. The loss of 1 additional HP per turn due to Voodoo's health loss shouldn't mean much, but it can make a little difference. The main point in using voodoo dolls at all however is to utilize darknesses card pool, which is something I don't feel I'm doing very efficiently. Steals are a nice touch but I don't think there's enough of them, and I've found drain lifes to be about useless. The blackholes are there to use up gravity quanta and because I hate rainbows. Plus it offers a tiny bit of healing as well.

I took a look at Merawders list of mono/duo decks, and here's what he offered for a darkness/gravity combo.

Mark is  . I've thought about merging our ideas together, or at least taking some influence from his deck.

For the record, I need this deck to be completely unupped...This miiiight be my BL deck *Shhhhh...*

***TRIALS RESPONSE***

Black Holes and Drain Lifes indeed seem somewhat superfluous in the first deck, they don't really work well with the deck aside from slightly healing you to give more time for the voodoos to grow in strength.

If you want to combine both these decks maybe just forgetting about the Basilisk Bloods could be an option, Voodoo Dolls have quite some hit points and can take a bit of punishment when Gravity Pulled. This way you can also build a more consistent deck by just using one kind of pendulum. Having spare quanta on the long run isn't necessarily a bad thing, you don't have to use it.

If you'd still like to add healing to the deck, other than Black Hole or Drain Life, Liquid Shadow and Vampire Stiletto are definitely cads to consider. Although Liquid Shadow no longer allows your Doll to accelerate, it's a great way to get some health back to survive that litle bit longer, while Stilettos are just a good healing weapons to have in general if your weapon slot isn't occupied anyway.

To sum it all up here's a deck worth considering that hopefully gets the best of both worlds:
You could even use Gravity Pull or Liquid Shadow offensively against creatures that threaten your dolls.
