Staff Rush [Partially Unupped][AI3][AI4]

[Cthulhu]

Something a little different. I hope that animate weapons don't count as making them duo as the only quanta this deck can produce is life.

An adrenalined Jade staff gains you 15 life a turn and when frozen instantly escapes, although it won't deal damage that turn. 7 health stops it from dying from most removal, and you no longer have to waste an extra card for empathic bond. I've only tested it 5 games in the trainer against half bloods but each time I've won or come insanely close. There's probably more consistent decks, but I doubt they are as fun as this 
If you have extra unupped staffs it may be worth trying them out. with 2 attack they'll get an extra hit with adrenaline and gain you 20 life a turn. Pretty impressive.

Animate Weapon make it a duo

You can make it fully unupped by using mark.

It's a known combo, most often called Adrenastaff (iirc).
Both your decks seem a tad short on quanta, especially the unupped one.
Oh, and I suggest using the unupped staff in both decks since with 2 attack they attack 4 times instead of 3 which gives you 5 additional healing. Maybe you do need it sometimes?

Ahh, the ever faithful adrenastaves...

Very short on quanta... If you have any life nymphs, I suggest putting them in as they can adrenaline more creatures than 6 epi's alone will do. I suggest going unupped staves as well as they give you more life and could make a major difference say if you bottom decked all but 1 staff.
The shields are useless IMO. With 6 adrenalined staves out, that is 120 health gained and you don't even have that much life so I would remove them in place of towers or pillars. You also will never have enough quanta to play the shield in the first place. You have 6 towers and 7 quanta producers total so by the time you get the quanta to play the shield, the game will hopefully already over (this is a rush after all).

I can see where you're going with the scorpions (poison bypasses shields) but I believe 6 is too many... I don't know why but I feel you should have maybe 4-5 and replace the others for more pillars (seriously dude, 6 is nowhere near enough, even for adrenastaves)

Ok, I'm done. I <3 adrenastaves

Might have disagreed at one point. But life nymphs are shockingly brutal. And I agree, it could use a bit more quanta.

I don't have most of these cards, I just like to build decks

@BrandenC6 - That has absolutely nothing to do with this thread as a whole. My only reaction as to you posting that deck is why, god, why?


As for the deck, yeah, known combo. You -seriously- need more quanta, and un-upped staves are superior due to attacking more times (and thus giving you more healing.)
