The Wrecking Ball [Bronze League][Silver League]

[Shikora]

I have been running into some cool PvP2 hybrids of this deck. Alfee_Second runs as perfect a PvP build as I think is possible. I have no idea if he is a regular here and could comment or post his deck code.

I think he went to a 35 card design adding Steal, Precog, TU, SoSe & BH. No idea exactly what the ratio of cards are, but the deck is extremely tricky to face off against! Excellent contribution to the community Willng3!

What is the upgrade order for this deck, obviously SN, then i guess Pulveriser, maybe Phase recluse and Phase spider, then what?

[willng3]

An upgrade line?  ...hmm.
I'm not too sure about this just because there's so much that the deck has to have in order for it to function properly.  For starters:  1)  Supernova and Quantum Towers.  Your deck has next to no speed if these aren't upgraded.  2)  Hourglasses and Pulvies.  I would probably do the Hourglasses first because they use so much , but Pulvy is very important too.  Since unupped Pulvy costs a pricey 3 to activate its ability, reducing its activation cost is really going to save your neck in lots of duels.  Afterwards it's really up to you as to what to upgrade.  I would probably upgrade the cards that receive the biggest damage bonuses when upgraded before the others.  Then save the cards that barely change at all when upgraded (such as Maxwell's Demon) for last.

Oops! sorry about that, and thanks for the deck!

Is it a idea to replace 1 SN with a quantum tower now? - As you'll have to split up playing the SN over 6 turns anyways (and in 6 turns a QT earns the same quanta).

In my experience this would not be good. The primary reason this deck loses in bronze is not getting enough SNs and not getting out the defense fast enough. You can easily die before 3 quantum towers can get you 4  + 3 for wings + spider. It is not really a rush deck, so playing 1 SN per turn is just fine. If anything I would sub out something other than SN for a tower, but I'm not sure that would be good either.

If you happen to win a shard of focus, I recommend subbing it for 1 pulvy. Although it doesn't do damage, it is creature based, and there is a likely possibility of  killing 2 pendulums / turn early game and completely shutting the other deck down. I play shard of focus if I have 0  or after first SN.

I saw the warning but i need to say,
I am currently using this against silver and win almost %99 of time but i started to saw a lot of poison decks in silver,it's meta-game is slightly changing and it highly effects Wrecking Ball,so,putting one purify in it can be very useful these days. But still,Ulitharid is useful too.
I wont change the original Wrecking Ball but i just somehow,needed to say that meta-game is changed.
NOTE : It does not matter,actually.

I suppose I should probably thank this deck. Because of it, I actually have Shards. xD Seriously, I had about 4 Shards before using this deck, and now I have about 30, and a much higher score.
I started with only the SNs and Spiders upped, and then slowly built it up, with the Electrum I won with it, to a now 90% upped deck, with only the Cloaks not.
The only thing I really have to say is I wish there was something other than the Crusader to be put in. It's not bad, but it just seems almost like a waste of space sometimes. I've been considering a Purify, or even a (Improved) Miracle in its place. Thoughts?

[willng3]

Truthfully, I haven't used WB much since the SN nerf.  Before that time the best replacement for the Crusader was probably an Archangel.  If Poison and Shard of Sacrifice are causing a lot of issues now then maybe a Purify is worth adding.  Only 1 copy kind of worries me though.  Miracle seems like it'd be to costly, though I guess it depends on the situation it would be used in.

[jumpingbeans]

xD Really? what are you using now?
Anyway, the Miracle would usually only be used near the middle/end of the game. At that point, 12 Light Quanta is very possible. And yeah, the one purify wouldn't be all that helpful. But the Though I think the Crusader would be better than the Angel.

When I was Shard grinding (which was several months ago) I would alternate between this deck, AD101 and another upgraded Graboid Rainbow which I didn't really feel like posting on the forums because it seemed pretty generic.  I wasn't really in a hurry to get the Shards this time so I just took it nice and slow by facing Silver League and Bronze when Silver League was giving me bad luck.  It's not that I think this deck's not useful now, it's just that I'm at a point where I don't need to use it.  I spend nearly all of my grinding time against Gold League these days anyways.

Let the hourglasses talk! 

Still, you probably are right.
