The Cretin of Chaos,
has the ability to throw a monkey wrench in our plans if not stopped.
Strengths:-Control, control, control!: Entropy exercises mastery over all forms of control.
~Creature Control: Maxwell's Demon, Chaos Seed, Mutations (possible), Antimatter, Pandemonium (Yeah, it's a lot)
~Permanent Control: Butterfly Effect
~Quanta Control: Discord
-Shields: Dissipation Shield is a force to be reckoned with if it comes out later in the game. Destroying it can give us a huge advantage, however.
-Mutations: Though random and not (in my opinion) a reliable strategy to use, mutations could become problematic; especially if Zeru decides to run them (and from what I've heard from PvP tourneys he's been in, he isn't hesitant to do just that).
-High-mid range attackers: Abomination, Purple Dragon, Lycanthrope (after Lycanthropy has been activated)
Weaknesses:-Quanta Control: Ironically one of Entropy's greatest weaknesses is a weapon right out of its repertoire (Discord). Because Entropy relies heavily on high costing cards or effects which require a constant flow of
to use, disrupting the quanta pool could be a useful tactic.
-Creature Control: Entropy is lacking in creatures, especially durable ones; taking out those powerful creatures is yet another important tactic to keep in mind.
From analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of this opponent, it seems that our best option might be a firestall variation. Deflags disable the threat of Discords, Rage Potions/Fire Bolts take out creatures that get in our way. A
/
synergy might also work, Steals for Discords, and Drain Life for the creatures in this case. In this case we have to rely on outside elements for the majority of the support since Life is lacking in ways of tackling Entropy's greatest weaknesses. I advise Life be used for drawing out a duel (Heals, Bonds, Staffs, etc.) while the fire power comes from the other element. Pendulums may be unwanted in this case since Discord threatens to make their already semi-unstable production of quanta even less reliable. I also advise a limitation on creatures use since
is fond of taking advantage of them.
Most likely synergies:
/
: In this case Discord/Black Hole. This is a serious threat to us. Disposing of the the Discord is a must in this case, but we should also be wary of what else to expect (chargers, Otyughs, etc.).
/
: Ever since jmdt posted an extremely effect Entropy/Fire duo these have become more and more common. Maxwell's Demon, Fire Buckler, Antimatter, and the like are just a few examples of what to expect form this kind of a synergy.
/
: This would certainly be interesting to see. Mutations would be omnipresent here.
/
: This is another dangerous combination. Blending these two elements together greatly increases the amount of control to be expected, especially considering that both possess all forms of CC. Steals are very dangerous here and Devourer/Vampires could cause other problems as well.
This is about the extent of what I can come up with at the moment, now let's start discussing this as a team.
