SoB air rush [fire][air]

[dark ripper]

Silver farming is always recommended when in need of rares. But then, always the "what deck should I use" question pops up. This is my suggestion:

Current best streak: 34-0.

This deck has turned out to be very effective versus silver and from what I hear people are satisfied with it. It is currently the best silver farmer and not a bad gold one, as well. Some other versions you might want to consider trying are:

etc. As you can see, it can be modified quite easily according to your taste. More damage, velocity, control, defence.

The strategy is really simple. Fast damage.  Although at some cases, for example, with decks that you can predict to have CC, you will need fast SoFre for a steadier damage.

• This deck's weaknesses are pretty obvious, with the first one being massive CC. Dry spell, Rain Of Fire, Pandemonium, Thunderstorm can kill the deck in no time.
• Can be outrushed by high hp decks.
• Also at many cases, sanctuary can be a pain, as you will basically have dead cards in the deck.
• Furthermore, devourers' thirst for the fire quanta along with steals can lead to a loss.
• Always, give a look to the remaining cards on the deck. Deckout from your own SoB's wont be so cool.
• And of course, as any deck you could lose to bad draws as well.

Special thanks to my friend the dictator for his help on testing the deck.

Back when I was trying to find the best rush for HB's and Silver, I tried this. It didn't work well against Silver at the time, but hearing you talk about it in chat inspired me to try it again. This time I went 17-0 before losing to a Water rush. Good enough to be tested for the Arena Study, methinks :>

I like to run it with 5 SoBe and fit in an extra tower or Improved Fog. Reason being it doesn't ramp as much as some rushes, which means successive use of SoBe gets you outrushed by your own doing.

I was using it with 5 SoBs and there is not a big difference. So I used it with 6 just to increase the possibility of SoB in hand. Perhaps the fog will be a good addition, the thing is I wanted to make it as fast as possible. But I will try it again with 5 SoBS with some different variations and check if it is more efficient.

Erm. Enlighten me how a water RUSH could be so good.

[Higurashi]

Simple. With Dex and 195 HP, you have a big mathematical disadvantage. A good quanta deal, a few Freezes before you've gathered 4 SoFrees, Toadies and Ice Dragons and Bob's your uncle. It's not really that it's Water of course. Most losses go to Monodarks that Steal your SoFrees and deny your quanta with 12 Devourers. Some go to Rains of Fire in stallbows or Monofires. Some to getting outrushed by rushes that ramp better and have much more HP than you.

Luckily most people in Silver don't know how to either distribute points or build a deck optimally, nor level up to lvl 39 fast.

[Squidymon]

I wasn't sure if they'd include a lot of freezes in a rush. Maybe even a few squids and a sopa.

So, since I was bored with FG farming, and after hearing Dark Ripper about it in chat I decided to give it a try.

I'm pretty satisfied by both our results. Both 80% - 85% are in my opinion great percentages. I hope you liked the deck and I hope it will be useful for anyone that tries it.

Hi

I'm playing this kind of deck, but using minor phoenixes instead of elite whyrms:

Deck import code : [Select]

7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7ds 7ds 7ds 7ds 7ds 7ds 7ee 7ee 7ee 7ee 7ee 7ee 7ms 7mt 7mt 7mt 7mt 7mt 7mt 7n9 7n9 7nq 7nq 7nq 7nq 7nq 7nq 8po

I prefer the phoenixes because they are cheaper and more versatile. They are not protected with the air shard, but have their own (strong) defense, making them resistant to board sweepers. the whyrms are more powerful but also more expensive to use (if you want to beat 100pv in a rush time, you'll probably need at least two of them on the board). Reduced costs make some room in the deck to add skyblitz and a six pack of birds. The deck is very stable, I though it will need more cantuum production, but playing with it against IA 3 and 4 and silver league, it works quite well (I don't know how to do the test stat, manually?).

Silver farming is always recommended when in need of rares. But then, always the "what deck should I use" question pops up. This is my suggestion:

*shows deck with 12 rares*

Anyway, seems like a good deck. I'd personally swap a SoB and a SoFr for Fog Shields to reduce the draw power SoB gives also to your opponent. And with 5 SoB you should still get 4 SoFr quite fast. If the deck is not too quanta starved, do you think it'd be good to fit in a EE somewhere? Or a Long Sword might also be a nice choice, maybe as 31th card?

Well, if someone possesses those rares xd Perhaps its a good idea as I replied above, its an easily modified deck, cause SoBs make it fast and effective enough to sustain such changes.

Just posting here since it's such a good deck, (I used it a year ago with sky blitz and fog vs plat, so i have a bit of experience.)
Just some discussion.
So possible mods are as discussed, the 5 SoBr mod, which doesn't warrant too much discussion.
I like to run with a Sky Blitz, just since 1 turn is just so good in rush decks.
Most monoair don't run any weapons, for obvious reasons.
Fog was mentioned, but when wings lasts you the game, it's definitely worth a try.
Thunderstorm is a crazy idea, but AoE combos with SoBr, and getting rid of SoFo is well worth it, and it hits phase spiders and damselflies too, whether its worth using over shockwave is iffy, but stacking them really increases it's range, and it's also rly good vs immorush.

I think I just talked myself into having fun in trainer .
