Shadow era eladwen deck12/19/2023 A Blake when Aldon is out gives 4 damage, which makes him a cheaper version of a Fireball. If I end up with a lot of cards due to Bazaar or Bad Santa, then Portal should give me some great direct damage to unload with my allies. I decided to mix Lightning Strike and Portal to give me some flexbility. Of course, while your allies are dying, they are soaking up damage and filling your graveyard. Whilst this start is potentially better than the other, you're more vulnerable to enemy attacks without Birgitte's protection. If you played Portal, you might have hit for 15. If you've played Lightning Strike, you've ended up hitting for a maximum of 21. Hit with Aldon (3), Puwen (3) and Kris (2). Play Lightning Strike (3 and 3) or Portal. If you don't have Birgitte in your opening hand, then let's look at another likely few turns: Of course, your opponent will be playing cards too and maybe Retreating Birgitte or killing Blake and Kris somehow, but you will likely still have the advantage in the early game. With 4 copies of each of these cards, there's a reasonable chance of doing 19 damage by the end of your turn 4, which is a fantastic start indeed. T4: Hit with Birgitte (1), Blake (4), Aldon (3). Let's look at the ideal start in more detail: The ideal start, however, is to play Birgitte, Blake and then Aldon, since Kris becomes a semi-Fireball for 1cc when he has the Brave one himself to help him out. This deck plays a lot like Economical Eladwen in the early turns, except you want to play Kris if he arrives in your starting hand, rather than holding onto him, so you can get some early damage on there. ĭeck List NISH4V3N 1.28 "Full-HD" ( View in deckbuilder) Hero: Nishaven Allies (24) 4 Kristoffer Wyld 4 Birgitte Skullborn 4 Puwen Bloodhelm 4 Blake Windrunner 4 Aldon the Brave 3 Jasmine Rosecult 1 Tainted Oracle Abilities (18) 4 Honored Dead 4 Fireball 3 Lightning Strike 3 Supernova 2 Portal 1 Research 1 Bad Santa Strategy Without further ado, let's see the experimental deck I ended up with. This was, of course, very similar to how Eladwen was currently being played, but I had four main differences: firstly, I had my healing anti-weapon in the form of Honored Dead secondly, I was going to skimp on my own draw cards and fill those slots with allies, since I could just benefit from their Bazaar and Bad Santa thirdly, I would make use of Birgitte, to disrupt my opponent's targeting and keep Aldon and Blake alive longer than they might ordinarily survive finally, I was going to use the lesser human mage and the poster-boy of Shadow Era himself, Nishaven, so I could nuke my own allies, if necessary, in exchange for healing and drawing with Honored Dead. I decided to put this to the test and stock up on a lot of cheap easy-to-kill allies, which led to a weenie-rush deck, where I could hit hard in the early game and follow up with some burn damage to win. The main trouble with Honored Dead, and the reason why no one seemed to be playing it, is that you need five allies in the graveyard, which is quite hard to achieve. Ideally, I would play it when they have planned out how to kill me over the next couple of turns, to grab back enough health to kill them on my next turn. With Honored Dead!!!"Īt this time, I was not aware of anyone else running Honored Dead, so I saw this as a chance to get a competitive edge on the other mages, since I could surprise them with my healing. (I'd dropped from 217 to 201, getting to grips with v1.28.)īut which Hero would I base the deck around?Īs usual, I began by thinking over the main pros and cons of each Hero class and was hit by an epiphany. I therefore decided to make a deck that could deal with both top Heroes (there had to be a way!), and also take maximum advantage of any extra cards the opponent gave me, without depending on those extra cards, and hopefully let me climb back up in the ratings. In my early matches in v1.28, I also noticed a lot of people were using Bazaar and Bad Santa in their decks I attribute this partly to the increase to 40-card minimum and partly to needing a fast deck to contend with Eladwen and Logan. Darkclaw soon started to disappear from the meta, leaving a whole lot of Eladwen and Logan in Quick Match. It soon became apparent that Darkclaw was easy to beat with the right cards (a couple of Misplaced or Shriek of Vengeance), but Eladwen and Logan were much stronger. When v1.28 hit, there were three main Heroes being used: Darkclaw, Eladwen and Logan. Shadow Era TCG » Decks » NISH4V3N 1.28 "Full-HD"
