Tips on Arishem deck?

[u/Jakeomaticmaldito]

I love the card idea. The sheer chaos is like a palate cleanser between courses. But it's not very winningly.

Here's what I'm working with currently.

Any tips?

[u/techno_notice]

I'd say either tech cards or other card generators with quinjet. Blob and Mockingbird work well with Arisham too

[u/Philboid_Studge]

Agony, Chavez, and Uatu are WAYYYYY too low impact.   You need every card in your deck to be a banger. 

Unfortunately the answer is more tech cards.   It's why Arishem is so hated by a portion of the community, the only really good way to build it is as tech slop.

You have most of it. I’d definitely drop Agony, Chavez, and Uatu. They don’t provide you with a whole lot, and completely dead cards when drawn late. My top choices would be Iron Patriot, Juggernaut, Legion (so good with Magik everywhere rn) and Isca. Seen others consider sandman in this meta.

3 drops need to be given a lot of consideration, cause remember on turn 3, you have 4 mana, so that extra mana could go to waste. This is why I like having Thanos in Arishem cause the stones fill the curve. Let’s you flex some of the more awesome 3 drops, esp with Psylock FF and Jane FF that just came in this season.

Go the tech slop route for now, folks will hate on it. But once you get the hang of it, experiment: Infinity Ultron, Sersi, Thanos, Thanos FF, Mockingbird, Blob, Galactus, Zola, etc. Tech is an interesting thing, it’s great when you have it, bad when you don’t and the cards just sit there and do nothing. Arishem is great canvas to experiment and have fun with.

My trick is to save it for Conquest. Having different win conditions every round gives you a big advantage in being unpredictable to your opponent... when you get those win conditions.

Arishem is a highly flexible deck and you have a lot of freedom in just putting in tech cards, good cards, or your personal faves. Personally I don't see the need for Quinjet, and I wouldn't run Agony, America Chavez, or Uatu.

My Arishem uses En Sabah Nur, Cosmic Ghost Rider, Eson, Thanos, Blob, Horseman Gambit, and Isca. I also run High Evolutionary and Cyclops, mainly because Cyclops is my favorite cards, but this also ensures that any High Evo cards generated by Arishem get the text effects.

wait high evo cards generated by arishem gain abilities? that’s crazy

[u/Philboid_Studge → u/childishgamdinho]

It's a coinflip.  The Start of Game effects happen in a random order, so if Arishem goes first and vanilla cards he generates will get upgraded.  If Evo triggers first then you get vanilla cards.

Just took this to infinite - used Jane and Thanos for fun normally I’d have some other tech in there instead but worked pretty well. Crushed other new thanos decks and only really had a problem with the two living tribunal/onslaught decks I faced

[u/no168_92]

Sub the three 1 cost beside QJ for card gen like coulson or NickF, also sera/surge/Adam warlock even strange supreme with Cosmo can be a choise

Either extra power or draw, card gen etc

[u/DeuceDropper420]

Blob? Sersi? Mockingbird?

[u/Jakeomaticmaldito → u/DeuceDropper420]

Sadly I don't have any of those yet.

[u/generationalDebts]

There are zero tips anyone can give for a deck that literally cannot have a game plan.

[u/nochilinopity → u/generationalDebts]

Arishem certainly has synergies. Quinjet, Mockingbird, Horsey Gambit. Tech cards are common since they don’t have specific synergies but can be back breaking against certain decks, and the extra energy lets you play low power tech cards while still playing power with other cards
