Gorillas in the Mist
The smoke mage suppresses wizards and ranged melee attacks, while also clearing both damaging and stopping terrain. The warriors generally hang back until I have sufficient damage in hand to swarm and kill one or two of the opponents' characters. The Slippery trait is great for jumping behind an enemy with blocks and KO'ing before they can turn, or for sneaking past the front line to hit a more vulnerable character. Usually keeps me in the high 1300s, but my rating fluctuates because I also play experimental (*cough* stupid *cough*) builds a lot.

In another thread, there was discussion of viable decks with made with only commons and uncommons. So I went through and stripped out the rares and epics I was running and replaced them with similar items of lower rarity. This did weaken my build, but it still seems workable. Two mobile, smashy fighters and a priest to heal them. I know this isn't top tier, but neither was my original build. For full disclosure, I'm currently ranked 459, with a rating of 1202, though I still win more than I lose and am hopefully still on my way up.

...oh, and there are no Bejeweled Shortswords in there because I still can't find any. I realize they're superior to some of the weapons I'm running and still only common.

The Sharp Spetum you're running isn't that bad. You've got more step attacks, which can be good. Look into giving your elf items with items containing Elvish Insight like Insight or Escapist, which is a) awesome, b) boosts your Devastating Blow.

 

I realize this isn't a top tier deck, but I'm posting it anyway. I've recently climbed into the mid 1300's, although I'm sure I'm going to lose 4-5 in a row after this post.

My wizard carries a lot of range 8 spells, and most of them terrain altering. Also some encumbrance. Boots with 2x Flanking Move seem too good. The priest provides buffs (card draws, heals, cause fumble, holy presence/purge) while the spears and dodge allow him to be somewhat elusive. The armors and Boosted Heals also help with the self damage cards. Warrior runs with two Blocking Maces and a Tango Spear for extra range/movement. I'd use nimble strike if I had it. Frenzy auras provide the only help I have against armors, and the helm and boots give some small attacks that help counter blocks. I went with elf because I didn't feel like my dwarf or human warriors had enough movement. Slippery and Elvish Insight are amazing though.

Just hit the top 10 with this, so I thought I'd post it. It's designed to counter card draw builds via a reliable stream of whirlwinds. The warriors just dance and smash, and prey on vulnerable targets after the whirlwinds. I intentionally don't run too many "block any" cards so I can benefit from enemy Dwarven Battlecry, and I don't run that in in order to deny the enemy any extra momentum. Not too effective against wizards (unless I get a really good whirl), but they're pretty rare past 1400 atm, so that's not a big problem.

And for any whirlwind skeptics, I've found you rarely get put in really bad spot when you can just play another one. Plus, the wizard is a tough cookie, so he can usually handle getting put next to the enemy warrior.

nice Vakaz I remember *****ing about your deck to you not too long ago. I might give a similar deck a try.

 

Whirlwind isn't a very fun card to play against, however most of my opponent's are running card draw, so I don't feel too bad

I'd be curious to see your take on it. I wonder whether any different team compositions would work with it?

 

Honest question, what is your thoughts on wimpy? I'd have thought a weakling's helm would be enough bad news to consider a crusty helm with it's obvious maneuver instead, especially since if you're whirling everyone all over the place it's not like they have as much luxury in avoiding the warrior when they see good cards in his hand. How did you arrive at the decision to use it?

 

I guess you can try to bluff with wimpy, but you can't with obvious manoeuvre?

 

Because the warriors usually team up to take an enemy down, -1 damage doesn't really hurt all that much. Generally I really don't want my opponent to know what my warrior has in store, however you make a good point that it doesn't matter as much in a deck like this.

I'll try out the the crusty helm, and see how it works out. Ideally I'd get some nice tokenless items to free up a token for another good team move helmet, but until then the armor seems to work pretty well.

[Edit: Piotras is right, I'll often try to scare people out of using their moves to escape the warriors, even when they don't have much in the way of attacks. I was kind of saying that above, but that's a better way of putting it.]

 

Okay. Keeping that raging strike a secret is wise, anyway, right? Teaming up was definitely how I got my successes with that melee mage build you advised me on, so I can totally understand that. I was sympathetically thinking of cards like your lunging hack and shifty stab. I wouldn't want to rely on just the "powerful" attacks and get stuck in a place where the little stuff could make me grit my teeth every time I drew it because it really only meant movement options. Then again, you've also got blind rage for a bit of equilibrium. I'm also remembering the point you made about priest damage buffs for making your smaller attacks worthwhile, and you don't get that luxury without a priest.

 

I am running a very similar build to Vakaz right now: 8 WW/WWE on a tanky wizard (two Ironwood Staff Of The Magus and a bunch of armor), Dash Team, Team Run and a bunch of step attacks on both warriors.

 

Went something like 1-6 right after posting this. I knew I was going to jinx myself.

 

open for suggestions on changes =P

cool build karjak. only thing i might suggest is find a way to put a armor with 2 arrogants in your dwarfe, hes vulnerable to encumber. but that would emn u would have to get a token from somewhere (maybe the dwarven racial?) or u can use a vassal plate, it was a arrogant and it costs 0 tokens but suspicius can be quite bad at the wrong time

 

nice items Karjak!

Azan's Icy Bulwark look interesting, but how does it compare to Slippery Shield?

 

i don't have any or that would be what i use =P but it is nice to snare mages across the map.

Tuknir i have arrogant i could use but the 3 mass frenzy on my priest would have to be swaped out it would be a waste with only 1 war carrying them. i have vassals and impervious panoply for options there.

 

Here's the build I've been tinkering with for the last few days since the new maps came out. Had some moderate success with it, but I feel like it needs a lot of work to get up to the level of my party last rotation. It's definitely not terribly consistent either unfortunately.
