Hecate, goddess of witchcraft and curses. Her name has not been spoken in a long time. She was a vengeful goddess, filled with unending rage. She constantly found some individual who had slighted her in some manner and saw to it that they suffered what she considered the appropriate pain. It was when her fury drove her to attack the other False Gods that she vanished. Defeated and reduced to little more than a shadow of her previous strength, she was no longer a threat to anyone. How was she to take her revenge?
The answer came to Hecate in form of the Voodoo Doll. She wondered, who would think that such an insignificant thing could take down the Gods?
- Story by Wizardcat -
Hecate feeds burning Rage Elixirs to her Voodoo Dolls in order to directly damage the opponent and also create a cheap and sturdy attacking creature. She may then use Liquid Shadow on the dolls to deal poison and more direct damage by Voodoo, while healing herself. That's not all; she has Steals and Nightmares that disturb the opponent's strategy, while her malignant dolls do her bidding. Antimatter is extremely powerful against her when used at the right time.
Rainbow controls and OTKs will okay but not great because of the steals. There's nothing special to using these decks; you should already be using hourglass and sundial baiting and correct usage of mind flayers/salvagers/SoP.
RoL/Hope decks could work, depending on the damage source. Archangel-based decks will work better, since dusks will halve damage with no way around, and the unstoppable damage will eventually kill you if you don't finish off her quickly. SoP decks should be similar.
Oracle Counter
The best known Hecate counter deck uses two key cards: Antimatter and Parallel Universe. Parallel Universe should be used on the highest attack Voodoo Doll, and preferably one with Liquid Shadow cast on it. It will redeal the damage already done to the Voodoo Doll and give you a sturdy attacker. Antimatter has the exact same targeting priority.
