Just a little twist I added to a pretty typical deck. Blank cards are silences.
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
5c5 5c5 5c5 5c5 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c7 5de 5de 5de 5de 5de 5de 5de 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61r 61r 61r 621 621 621 624 624 7n2 7n2 7n2 7n2 8pu


Please, before commenting see if your question is covered under the Q&A


Q & A
Q: What is the use of silences in this deck?
A: If your opponent has CC, you can't play an unquinted staff until the last turn, where victory is secure. However, with silences, you can play one the turn before the last, and not fear CC. Also meaning you can get some quick PUs in.

Q: If Silence is such a good card, why have only 2?
A: Silences, like most cards, are quite situational. You only need them quite late game, or very early game. It is useless to prevent your an opponent playing 'regular' cards (like Dragons), since you will outheal them anyway. You just want to prevent late game miracles, CC, sundials ect. You don't need six clogging up your hand.

Q: Why thirty two cards?
A: So you can deck out pretty typical 30 card decks, and the less typical 31 card decks. Lots of healing and little damage make this quite probable.

Q:Why are there 4 animate weapons? Why not six, and lose the TUs?
A: I have 4 animate weapons. I wanted to make a deck for me. If I had 6, I'd consider adding more, but I like it how it is.

Q: What do you do if you meet a shield blocking two damage?
A: Cry. Alternately, you could use the PU's on any creatures the opponent has that would help. You could just outheal them as well. However, if you have an upped slaff, I would definetly consider putting it in, you only miss out on 5 health. You can TU it if your opponent has nothing.

Q:Wow, you definetly achieved the first condition of your name, but you won't be much of a 'Destroyer' with this deck
A: shut up.

I tried this out on the AI3 briefly and it failed miserably.  Gravity shield, fire shield and decks larger than 32 = death.  Will likely fair much better with PvP since those shields are largely unheard with real players.

And because elders make 37 card decks, you'll never deck any of them out.

Yeah, it's meant for PvP. I was intending to post a side-deck for tourneys that would enable this to adapt to a deck you think you are facing - and add details before I realised it would be too much work for me, and I don't even have all the upgrades necessary in the real game.

In theory this should do quite well against rushes, and control decks. Stalls are a different question, since there isn't much damage here, and if they have >32 cards, its trouble.

Basically, they have 31-card decks to deck out 30 card decks. You made a 32-card deck to deck out a deck, that was supposed to deck out.

Sooner or later, someone is going to make 33 card decks, just to counter the 32-card decks...

For some reason I was half under the impression that they would be unusable.
But luckily, most decks in PvP don't use either Otyugh or Eternity unless they are stalls, in wich case they will be quite difficult to beat regardless.
Also, if there is only one Buffed Oty, Eternity, just use a couple of TUs, and go into it knowing you will lose a creature. As long as you know your damage output is enough...

(And thanks $$$man for fixing my topic title, I forgot that we had to add the deck type... ???)
