Forest Scorpion | Scorpion

[Dragoon1140]

Dragoon1140, if those images already have their own thread, a link will do so this discussion stays on topic. If they don't, I will split those images to their own topic.

I don't think they have a thread, but VRT or Pepo can make the thread if they feel the need.  If it is truly off topic, the post can be removed.

Anyway,  Forest Scorpion is the most balanced of the bunch I would say.  Cannot be abused by Fractal very much either, so that is always a +.

The upgraded name needs changed.

Also, it's hard to justify a 2/2 venom creature when your other 3- option is a 5/5 creature.  Upgraded Scorpion should be 2/4, IMHO.

I dont think so. This card really rounds up mono life. It has cheap disposable creatures for "physical" damage, and scorpions add damage you cant get rid off with creature control. became much harder to counter now.
That said, even if scorpions had HP>3, I wouldnt really consider them overpowered as a standalone card. But with other cards, they make really tough deck.

I think all of the Scorpions are like that, at least the ones previewed.  You can't make a strong and stable killing deck out of the Deathstalker and Dune Scorpion, though more from the former than latter.

Maybe the scorpions could have a synergy between them.

I know, I have also made this version (yes, It's my holiday, and I am bored).

Code: [Select]

55q 55q 55q 55q 55q 55q 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5c5 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c8 5c8 5c8 5c8 5c8 5c8Yes, the ?'?? are forest scorpions.

And yes, this deck works unupped.
When going upped, I would suggest to take out a few pillars for whatever cheap card you like. I have tried Frogs, Cockatrices and Improved Heals, and they all worked like a charm.

But the above one is definitely more fun to play, and it is less vulnerable to control because of the blessings. Also, I can be really fast, because you can spam creatures like hell when getting a good draw. This one is slower.

That is a nasty deck, even unupped.

a problem with many of these decks is that their only damage source is the six forest scorpions...

a CC deck can entirely ruin such decks. try putting in more creatures just like people are doing in the deathstalker thread (flesh recluse + deathstalker = rules, for example)

[Essence]

Yeah, I've been messing around with the concept of "Tsunami" decks -- decks that have the goal of dealing as much early damage and poison as they can before you get your defenses up, and then suddenly collapse and turn into stall decks.  It's a tough sell, but mono-Life can do it with Forest Scorpions, Frogs, Adrenaline, and then collapsing into Thorn Carapace, Heal, Jade Staff and waiting for the poison to catch up with you.

It's actually pretty fun.

[Glitch]

Not really rotface.

This is, by far, the most underpowered of the scorpions.
