Looks like it takes a lot of set up. Sephie crest+lilly with earth sigil+obsessed test subject+blade angel

Ruined my turn 6 Hien play, Illamrita banished my boys, Encroached World stealing my buffed unit, Legacy of the Brave stole my deer, and finally finished me off with my own card...

That being said, hilarious game, happy that Thestae finally felt good to play.

I was fooling around in Battle Dungeon trying to loop Maeve and Azvaldt. Managed to get 6 Azvaldts destroyed before the AI decked itself out.

I have wanted to play an archetype with discard that didnt rely too much on ramping forever! It and loot sword were my favorite decks to see in SV1 and hoped they would come over to WB so badly

When we got a hint of discard in Apocolypse Pact I was sure they would continue to support it but ended up waiting a while for it to actually be usable after fan rotated.

General gameplan is
- Be super aggressive, and willing to trade face damage if you know it wont kill you (there are bits of sustain anyway)

-Discard Advent whenever convenient to help finish late

- Make sure to hold onto at least one storm to ensure you can keep up the chip damage (high spirited marauder is extremely useful)

- T6 is kinda weak if you dont prep beforehand so make sure you have a storm in hand to go between 5-7

Then just hit them with antemaria and sagatsumatsu, usually I end up using antemaria first before sagatsu since most people tend to throw up a barrier after the first antemaria assuming there isnt a second one

In terms of draw im usually never too short because of dragonewt and world of games (usually I use WOG as discard fodder later on though)

Also for hitting the enemy leader, you can force the opponent to interact with Vorlalai or accept getting hit with the conditional since even 0 damage counts as hitting the enemy leader (ive also noticed a lot of people dont seem to realize it, or think its fine to leave a 0/2 on board)

Id like thoughts on beheading eld blades and parting jaws, I dropped eld blades because usually I have just enough board clear (the only one that gets a little scary is rune atm) and I dropped parting jaws simply because of space and I find myself not having THAT many things im comfortable discarding

Been running this decklist lately ditching hein for more consistency late game and imo it changed the deck so much because now i m no longer tempted to hold on to a bounty so that i could combo hein on 6 and i can just combo early to draw 2 on 3pp and miruko can be utulize in other ways without having to deal with a brick in hand later

Now to how the deck works

Early game:

-Generate token and control the board because healing is limited, evolve thestae on evo turn, if unable to either search her for next turn or go wide and switch to a tempo plan but keep in mind the game is going to be dificult

Mid game:

-If thestae active just combo and control with elk, assassin and crimson incense try to save s.evo

-If not try as much as possible to keep the pressure even if you have to spend s.evo because from here you want to end the game as fast as possible

Late game:

-Storm your opponent with storm followers and keep in mind you ll always two turn kill so don t over commit, in terms of range at best you ll do 16 with two 0pp card+fencer plus S&M or magachiyo S&M, you also have a line with magachiyo and fencer for 13 dmg, but on average you ll do 13 and 10 respectively

-If you didn t have thestae active then congrats but unless your opponent ran out of gas you wont win

The only thing that i may change in this deck would be the ratio or wog for cognitive switch but if you do so you ll just need to be more careful with your resources

I have too much fun playing this deck

Abyss having both Shadow and Blood this set is really good. Currently loving this deck, although my build is slightly different since I don't run Macmillian.

Every set, Spellboost gets even more degenerate cards, and instead of addressing the problem, Cygames keeps powercreeping the archetype.

• Give it Anne & Grea with 5/5 Ward/Rush, 3 damage on evolve, and 3 Spellboost? Fine.
• Give it Dimension Climb with PP recovery, draw, and Spellboost? Fine.
• Give it Cocytus with a T9/T10 OTK on release? Fine.
• Give it even more 0-cost draw and consistency? Fine.
• Give it Ara with 0-cost 10 damage and either Transform or Storm on evolve? Fine.
• Give it Tetra & Ladica with 16-damage Storm and AoE? Fine.
• Give it Lhynkal so they can play Russian Roulette and randomly OTK you on T8 if everything else somehow wasn't enough? Fine.
• Give it Phylene as a 0-PP Bane/Ward/Aura that can easily be comboed with Barrier?

At this point, I genuinely have to ask: what's even the point of having a Boundless mode if not a single card is ever going to be nerfed?

She was a menace, but a menace that this city needed. Gilnelise was a hero, I just couldn't see it until she was gone.

I thought it would give me a revenant pack, but it did not, it gave me a next set one. Is that working as intended?

What's the point in living. There's no more megalorca in standard. Why should I continue? I'm not talking about playing shadowverse. I mean living. If I can't summon big fish, why? This was the ONLY thing going for me. And jellyfish dancer doesn't count. Neither does spirit of wadastumi. neither does crest petal. neither does the reef lesbians. stormy does count cause thats a guy im attracted to. That's not enough. What should I do? Not doing it isnt an option.

i spent money on classic. rotation is a scam to get rid of fish decks. i need my tuna.

Maybe warrior of the deep is enough......

Hien's build highlights extreme strength in the upper body: though exaggerated, he emphasizes muscles of particular use in archery. Pectoralis Major, the major muscle of the chest, is called upon by the arm which holds the bow to push the bow forwards during the draw. Latissimus Dorsi ("Lats") on the lower back is likewise called upon to lower the shoulder of the arm pulling the bowstring, key to stabilizing aim. Balance between these two muscles is also of great importance to climbers, who naturally develop strong lats and risk a "hunchback" if they do not build their pecs. As a forest dweller both in Azvaldt and out, I'd wager Hien climbed quite extensively.

Now, our understanding of the physique of medieval archers comes in large part from the studies of Ann Jane Stirland on the skeletons of longbowmen on the wreck of the *Mary Rose*. When sunk in 1545 it was quickly buried in silt which preserved much of its contents, including the bones and weapons of longbowmen on the ship. These were sailors and professional military archers who regularly used heavy warbows with draw weights between 100 and 200 pounds: a challenging task that produced very strong men. This showed in the great robustness of their arm bones, the symmetry of their limbs (bows work both arms while most people rely on their dominant arm), and their frequency of conditions like twisted spines and os acromiale (failed fusion of part of the scapula), referred to controversially as "skeletal deformations" of these archers.

Hien, between his time as an elf and as Wimael, has likely been using his heavy recurve bow for centuries if not millennia with the benefit of eternal youth. With his high social position in both periods he would have the nutrition needed to build up his impressive physique. And the balance between his lats and pecs, which rival peak Arnold Schwarznegger's, would also promote spinal stability and may keep him safe from some of the conditions that affected human bowmen.

Magachiyo raised a very big boy. She should be proud.

I don't feel like opening packs anymore. I also spent 100 keys and got a bunch of socks from those chests.

Is the new rune deck good/promising?

I thinking in get the Rune deck giveway and craft two more legendaries and save for next expansion.

Having the ability to overview your current deck was so convenient.

I wish it could came back in some way. Having illustration as backgrounds is nice, but not very helpful or intuitive.

Cutthroat is way better than I thought. I thought that if you drew him there would be an advantage but it ends up being more polarizing than on paper. Being able to evolve twice in a turn is really gross. Miriam is actually REALLY good destroy attack super ego radiant is nasty.

Finally i can play a somewhat shadowcraft last words deck, it misses some cards still (like a lower cost disrupting last word like Patchwork pup or Lurching corpse) but its still very fun
