Shak'ars Revenge (FG-Voodoo)

[TheonlyrealBeef]

Yeah, Chaos Lord works much better to just let him mutate your dolls, and fight with mutants. With Gemini I strongly disrecommend TU-ing his momentumed creatures. You have to win with dolls or lose. There is no way you can out-TU Gemini. Just put up the combo ASAP and pray Gemini doesn't get too much momentum.

I'm not recording results right now since I'm multitasking and didn't want to skew the stats with my ten-minute games, but I got an epic win against Divine Glory.


He started with a single sword, which wailed on my already-gravity-pulled doll until he had taken 48 damage. I TU'ed the doll three times, leaving him at 8 health, expecting his next attack to finish himself off.

He miracled.

He then played more swords, and I needed more TU's before my voodoo died. Finally, I had to gravity pull another doll to keep the original one alive, which also lined up the healths almost perfectly. My last TU did 112 damage.

i think precog's are an excellent addition. After all, the point is to set up the combo

I was playing this deck on trainer, I loved it. It'll be my first upped deck, meant to make money from FG kills.

Thanks for the topic, Jangoo, Mardek and the others who helped. ^^

A standard RoL/Hope deck is more suitable for a first anti-FG deck, since it works after just 5 upgrades (the Rays of Light). Try something like this build (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,14533.0.html) first.

I like the precogs. They just helped me pull a 6 turn win vs FFQ O: Edit:And a nine turner against oblit. love this deck

Wait when you TU a voodoo doll that has taken damage, the damage is taken out of the voodoo doll again?

[Baily18]

If you mean like if your Gravity pulled voodoo takes 20 damage, and you TU it, then your opponent takes another 20, yes.

I need to post in this thread, the deck is too good not to deserve attention.

In fact, I made a video just for this deck.  More and more people seem to be catching on to this deck too, so, as far as I'm concerned, a new CCYB is born.

Thanks for that Dragoon1140.

However, and to be completely honest here, for dealing with "the new CCYB"- FG-deck the video is rather substandard.
It more or less just repeats the most basic mechanics of FG-voodooing as already seen in the voodoo-doll video.
... no deck overview, no variants and not a single "advanced" strategy.

Also, it contains a glaring mistake: "Unfortunately, there is also another weakness in the deck and that is poison and weapons."

Weapons are clearly not a weakness of Shak'ar decks. That's because as a standard move they are petrified for 6  turns repeatedly by the BBing of the doll (AFTER the first weapon is played) and because in the very most cases they couldn't do jack against you even if they weren't petrified.
E.g., in your model game against Morte you should have kept one BB (especially since you didn't even have a grav.pull yet) until Morte plays his Arsenic, then petrify it until the end of the match.
Although the first and most common strategy with these decks (it's in the OP under "general strategy"!), you could advertise it as an "advanced" strategy, just a suggestion.

Corresponding text: "Fortunately, weapons are not at all a weakness with this deck. On the contrary, as Morte plays his ... blabla." 


Sorry to be the party-pooper here (yeah, that is kind of my reputation anyways) but after playing the deck a little more and taking to heart some tips and tricks from this thread you might see why the video doesn't really strike me as an awesome job.
