[wdvefbthm]

This my first post in the forum so sorry if its a little lacking.
I tried to find another deck like this and couldn't. If someone else had something similar I apologize for the repeat

Ive been running this build for a while now and after 200+ games the win rate is 74% win 50% EM vs AI3. Im currently testing vs PVPI.
Strengths:
Poison Damage and Momentums both ignore shields.
Adrenaline helps stack poison quickly.
Heal helps stay alive in long matches and EM in shorter matches.

Weaknesses.
Mass CC RUINS this deck.
High Damage rushes will sometimes outrun your damage output (often comes to a matter of 4 or 5 hp)


Any suggestions on improvements would be greatly appreciated.

Drop Titan. Maybe another adrenaline, or Druidic if you want to keep the weapon slot in use, especially given the Green Nymph

Tried it and you are right. Switched for adrenaline and haven't missed titan at all.

I like the green nymph.

IMO the nymph needs to go. It's neat, but it's not like you have that many creatures to adren, and it's really really high quanta cost. If you do that, fill up the rest of your space with more copies of your combo. I personally (in buff-based decks) like to use one less of each buff than I have creatures to be buffed. So here's what I've come up with:

55q 55q 55q 55q 55q 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5c2 5c2 5c2 5c2 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c8 5c8 5c8 5c8 5c8 5c8 8pl

I haven't tested it, but I'd guess it'll be a bit more stable quanta-wise and that you'll get your scorpions rolling faster/more often. Not really anything to be done about the mass-CC weakness, unfortunately. A druid staff swapped in for either a heal or an adren would probably be good if you have one available.

sad to see a person with a green nymph avatar say that, but a bit of thinking and you realize he's right. As a general rule, it is indeed more reliable to have more copies of the same card in hopes you can get your strategy working sooner. Wise words.

NO SAY IT ISN'T SOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! j/k
After looking I realized that you are correct. Without the nymph the combo works much faster and I can get it more frequently. Thank you for the help.

I agree. But the irony made me lol.
