Partial Exsanguination -- The EM Halfblood Drainer (Crusader/Dagger)

[Essence]

Actually, because Halfbloods' decks are random, they're among the only opponents who often use damage-based CC that doesn't just kill your creatures.  The Archangels have saved me several games by keeping my Crusaders alive through Plagues, RoFs, Bolts, and other damage.

i likey. it shiny. and give emy.
So this update might bring some more interest to farming ai5,
1st: there fun to play against as they have weird fun decks to play against
2nd: the 30% upgraded actually gives a real chance of an uped card now

I had an idea of making HB grinding deck based on Crusader + Eternity. Basically that deck would look much like this, with changed to . At least before 1.26 using Eternity to prevent HB for drawing new cards was pretty strong strategy. I don't think bigger number of upped cards on HBs has much effect on that. Problem is that now I just don't have the time to test that deck concept.

ummm im not entirely sure of ai5's intellegence level but couldnt it just burst kill u? as again it comes with the problem of heavy time dependancy, and the double draw.

Nope, the AI is stupid enough to keep playing whatever you Rewound, hence the existence of Dune Scorpion decks for AI5 and FGs.

Come to think of it, Dune Scorpions can work with Blessings and Eternity-Endowed Crusaders as a  /  duo.

Unupped is ridiculously slow, given that Stiletto+Crusader is only 6 ATK.  Up them both, and it's suddenly 9, which is MUCH faster.  This deck isn't superfast, but it'll EM a halfblood in under 200 seconds quite handily.

It not only lacks damage output, unupped you are missing the the Animate weapöns...more lack of punch.

But i wont spend 24K electrum (crusaders, daggers, animate wps) just for this deck...some day in a far future perhaps

These things are one aspect i dont really like with elements...seeing upped decks you like, but only can play them in trainer...
