Title: Theme: Dark Ages - Amargor

AMARGOR (version 1.1)

Amargor was born from the gnawing despair of the world.   As disease and disorder reign supreme across the land, the Golden Age of Wonder is long past, but not forgotten.  It now serves as a bitter memory in this age of wither and decay.  The knowledge and splendor of times past are lost, perhaps forever--the only certainties in the Dark Ages are hardship, cruelty and death.  And with each passing soul, Amargor's power grows.


This deck uses 5 of the "new" cards (Deathstalker, Soul catcher, Schrodinger's Cat, Butterfly Effect, Pandemonium) and 1 rare (Discord.) 

Death and Entropy are natural choices for the theme "Dark Ages" as they entail dying and decay. 
With the 3x Death mark, relatively low cost of cards, and Schrodinger Cat/Soul Catcher combo this deck should get damage out early and keep building.
Deathstalkers are good for a poison splash and give Otyugh's indigestion.  Chaos power either powers deathstalkers or toughens up the cats/condors--either way, a good deal.
Bonewalls + SC make it tough to whittle down 200 hp without creature spam or momentum.
Lots of CC and some PC: beatable, but with bonus deck draws, growing condors, poison and dragons, you probably need a good opening hand and some luck.

Yeah (I mention  this in the deck explanation) but it's not all bad for the deck to have hardier cats/condors--basically makes them more CC resistant.

Actually, the right noun (in Spanish) is Amargura, but Amargor sounds OK :D

It's a shame the AI can't use deathstalkers correctly  :( but I like the idea

There's no point for using :entropy Pendulums here. Triple :deathmark combined with Soul Catchers give plenty of :death. Change to :entropy Towers instead.

^^ This, except change to 2 more kittens, and then the rest into Towers.

I keep forgetting about the 3x mark when testing--agreed, the pendula are unnecessary.  Have updated with -3 pendula, +2 cats, +1 Amethyst Towers.  Thanks for the input.  Any thoughts on how to give it more bite?  Deadly poison?

My only concern is how the AI will kill all it's cats with Pandemonium... And use BE on vultures. A Graveyard would make a good combo with BE, btw...

Upped pandamonium only affects enemy creatures....
