fast control bow

[wednesday]

i am not sure i understand the terms you use here so feel free to suggest a proper name for this deck. i do not claim originality of the deck and most probably  has been built again but it is has served me well in gold-platinum arenas and pvp 2 so i thought it deserves a post.

Deck import code : [Select]

6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u9 6u9 71b 71b 752 7ah 7dq 7h2 7k2 7n3 7q5 7q5 7t9 7t9 7tb 80d 80d 80e 8pj

6 towers beacuse you need to draw one of them at start.
6 supernovas beacause they are superior to towers in 30 card length games
4 creatures that produce more damage as they stay on board.
4 shields-2 phase shields beacuase every rush without pc hates them and 2 bonewalls because they are the enemy of every pc oriented deck
shard of focus and 2 improved steals offer some pc
electrocutor and 2 pandemonium offer cc.
1 miracle because it is nice to have one.- and light quanta was free anyways.
1 vampire dagger beacause in terms of damage is probably the stongest weapon in game (6 damage + 6 heal only for 2 darkness quanta).
2 electrum hourglasses because it is nice to draw 2 cards when the opponent draws only one
mark of entropy because of supernovas

basic combos ( pandemonium + bone wall)
                      ( miracle + black hole for EM)
                      ( miracle + shield + vampire dagger for next round EM)

notes : vampire dagger can help a lot with poison. because of that there is actually no need for purify in the deck
            creatures become stronger as the game progresses and are weak as they enter. but even if the opponent has mass creature damage spells, stream machine and probably elite queen will survive
           the quantum management seems nice( by the way elite queen might help with stream machine) but maybe someone can come up with something better

strategy:nothing special. only try not to overush with bonewall since they are a lot more effective if they can be combined with pandemonium.
              some experience is needed for when and which shield to use
              and maybe the most difficult choice can be which weapon to use when have the choice( get 6 heal or lobotomize a dangerous creature?)

thats all!

There are a lot of these decks around, but it can be interesting to see a new one and what someone else might try.  I've done a few of these sorts of decks (though I'm not as good at building them as at some other types) and I've found that bone wall is -really- good in them.  Nobody seems to expect it, and it's really strong next to some other removal like the pandemoniums you have.  (I tend to use thunderbolts and maxwell's demons, but there isn't really a 'right' way to do it) 

I also like using a couple discords and shards of focus, rather than your weapons and steals, but again, there are many ways to do it, and discord really sucks in the mirror match.  I've also found a lone nightmare or silence can work wonders; you play it a turn or two before you're going to win, and it can make an otherwise close game swing way in your favour, or ensure a win by denying a draw or play to your opponent.  The hp swing of nightmare can be fairly considerable too at times, especially in a mirror match.

The miracle is an odd choice, but I'll bet you get to play it more often than it might appear at first glance, and with two hourglasses, you'll draw it more often than it might seem, too.  I'll bet you get people telling you to take that out, but I think just one is alright, and people aren't very likely to expect it in a deck like this, either.

The electrocutor is the one card that seems a little odd to me, but it's also a card I tend to underrate quite a bit, so if you think it's working well for you, then great.  I did use some mindflayers in a few of my similar decks, which is another possibility to consider as well.  (I started using them as a response to shard of focus back when it was an 'other' card, because it could lobo them but wasn't a permanent itself to be targeted, and it could deal with a shard that had already been used a time or two and was beyond the reach of spells like thunderbolt)
