Good evening to all, this is my first deck post, and it is similar to Zhangvict's deck here. My deck follows basically his play style, but is more control-oriented.
I call this the Slave Driver
The slave driver is an unrelenting elemental, enslaving creatures and using them as shields, before mutating them more to his liking. In all his looting, he never knows exactly what he has, but he does not care. All he requires is uncompromising loyalty from his horde, that his will be done, and that his slaves obey his every word.Hover over cards for details, click for permalink

as you can see, the main strategy is simple: throw out a RoL, mitosis, more RoLs, hope, and here comes the slave driver, mutating the RoLs into unstoppable monsters capable of massive control and damage. the bonds and the sanctuary are there for healing, the pandemoniums for lulzy critter control, the thorn shield for serious critter control (throw hope n°1, heal, thorn shield, bring up hope n°2)
i know it's a fat deck by forum standards, but i've never liked 30 card decks. with this guy, EM'ing lvl4's is a breeze, deck-out is doable and most importantly, it's fun! you never get the same end-game.
known weaknesses: fire. no seriously, this gets destroyed by rain of fire and/ or fire shield. flooding is problematic, but this is where having mutants and massive healing comes in handy, unless there's 6 aether dragons against you. dedicated rushes are a problem as well. believe it or not, but gravity isn't. funny, that.
you can't win them all.
I've played roughly 200 games with this current form, and to give a rough estimate, i'd say you win 6 to 7 games out of 10, 4-5 of those are EM's. TTW against lvl 4 is anywhere from 8 (best hand) to deck-out. All in all, it's a really fun stall deck. i've only used this in pve and the arena, since i don't do pvp at all (i'm shy like that
)
the unupgraded cards are because i'm still in the process of upgrading it and upgrading day traitors simultaneously, but this is by far my favorite deck.
quick notes: the QI is all over the place, i know. the stall capability more than makes up for some quanta shortage early on.
by the way, does it still count as a trio deck, even though the slave-driver concept screams rainbow?
