Vader Sader (Vampiric Dagger + Crusader duo)

[Pwnator]

The greatest weakness of this deck is.......... antimater.    This deck has the awesome ability to field nice and large creatures that vamps, which are the absolute perfect targets for antimatter. CCYB just had to pack 2 of them all the time, making this a less awesome top50 grinder than it should be.

Improved Blessings can be used defensively against this, although this isn't exactly economical.

Really...I've been testing this deck lately. I've played around 200 games in Top50...almost every single game EM, just few loses and not a single farm! And also, does really well in PvP, sometimes freaks the opponent. Its main weakness is CCYB, definitely. Early AMs and Permafrosts can really hurt you.

Yeah I've played a number of games with this deck.  Its quite sturdy.  I'll post ttw stats for it eventually.

[SpikeSpiegel]

This deck is evil...i'm pretty scared to find it in next CL...

oo i like this one. seems quite good for AI5, which is better now that more cards are upped. although AI5 could still suck, i have no idea

Faster dagger out, less Paradox's by Maxwell's Demon. Fun deck

that doesn't need 5 animate weapons, take one out for another blessing maybe? (solar bucklers are nice to)

[lukce]

Lol…that is pretty much the same, isn't it? I also like to use solar buckler, comes in handy. And also 6 crusaders are too much. I don't like 4 of them in my opening hand. I am going to use this deck for evil purposses

[Nadrin]

nils, I get what you're saying, but it's the same deck as the first one w/ unupped vamp daggers and two light towers instead of two light pends.

This deck is interesting, but it only seems to work against rush decks.  It is slow to get going so I lost 8 out of 10 matches against standard Bow decks in the top 50.

Dingo, are you playing this upgraded or unupgraded?

Second, it's for AI3 or AI5.

(crusader+dagger is only really one card because it is assumed that there will be a dagger out already)
The rest i filled with a solar buckler, 2 blessings, and light towers.  I'm pretty sure this variant is better but I haven't played much so I could be wrong. it's been doing wonders on AI5.
I find a good trick to increase chance of EM is to stack all the blessings on the crusader that attacks first, because (for example) if youre at 80 and the opponent is at 1, the only way you'll EM is if your first attacker does 20 damage
