I'm on a quest on finding the best SoSebow while also maintaining 6 SoSe in the deck. Awaiting suggestions if anyone has any better ideas on how to improve this

I usually run 4 SoSe because it doesn't compromise speed all that much. 6 of 'em really changes the game because you can either rely on them to give you CC or offence. The latter is much more reliable, and therefore 6 SoSe force me to pack 2 copies of all essential control cards:

The two alternative builds I use sometimes are flying Pulvies (and EE's) and SoFo+GF+BW.

8 QT's is something I arrived at a long time ago for 6 SoSe decks. It consistently lets me play Dragons quickly enough that they actually become impactful cards. Steamie is the best grower of them all by far but can be replaced by faster CC like Thunderbolt or Purify since you want to go up against Plat. Mirror Shield is a viable option against Gold.

Wings base is another viable option, more so for Gold than Plat but certainly works for both:

The increased speed is sort of just more fun to play with and might make it more lucrative for electrum/h.

Oh, cool, someone actually cares. My comments on your versions:

1) Interesting version. I see you went for heavy mid to late game control whereas I went for early control and carry with SoSe. I'm really fond of lightnings lately because there's a bunch of SoFre and denial decks, where early CC can be crucial. I'll try your version to see how it goes. If I see it doesn't really work out, I'll try to find something inbetween your version and mine.

2) I used to play something similar some time ago against gold, but stopped playing when the reward dropped so low.

Went ahead and built a heavy control SoSebow with the help of a few chat peeps

That's probably the way to go against Plat if you like winning (and getting to use the SoSe's) more than electrum/h, yeah. Wingsbow has been wrecking house in Gold on the other hand (and Bronze of course).

On "the deck", I'd like 2 Sancs against BH and a Feral Bond, but maybe it just gets too heavy on the . Dunno what I'd replace for more HG's.. probably the Steal and a Tower, but it's tough. Mindgate is too much fun to drop.
