Guide: Decks based on a theme - suggest and I will create

Hi all. I've decided that I enjoy making random thematic builds based on ideas like:

• Penetration
• Counter-play
• Humor and Rating

So with that said, and based on the fact that there is an ice-storm, I should have a ton of free time to create more thematic builds if anyone is interested.

Simply post here, suggest a theme like "High-armor, low-mobility" and I will use the items I have available to generate a suggested build for you, and I will post here, replete with a humorous picture if you like.

I will do my best to make the build be ladder viable at the 1500 rating range.

*Queue*

• Traveling Curse Deck - Hock Faraday
• Benihana- Susurrus in Gloaming
• Maximum Rage - Kalin

 

"Bad idea to atack me deck"

a spiked mail deck? where it hurts for then to hit you. think its possible? some ducks for the fun??

 

Hedgehog Heroes

Spikes. Armor. Martyr blessings. Shields that even have spiky designs and are effective. Oh, and you are very resilient, have tons of armor, and really can frustrate people because there's no weak link in your mobile hedgehog team. Better duck those casters.

You shall use Battlefield Training and Advanced Battlefield Training for hilarity. (e.g. toss Raging Strike to your opponent before casting lots of magics, or throw Toughness to an elf.)

edit: oh wait, you can't target enemies

 

"My main win condition is you drawing Traveling Curse."

 

I'm game to make a build with bf trainings to get some funny scenarios if you like, although the giving enemies cards situations aren't possible

I'll make one of these, not sure if I can accomplish the main win condition aspect, but I can certainly make one that will be funny.

 

Hedgehogs need some Icy Blocks.

Theme: Maximum Rage
(as many Raging Strike and Blind Rage as you can fit, plus anything else thematic like Violent Overswing)

 

Two words: Bash Wizards

Doesn´t has to be 3 Wiz party just that the highlight of the team are really bash heavy wizards or with mostly short ranged spells like cones and jets

 

I originally went with icy blocks but subbed in the generic shield strictly for aesthetics, I can post a variation if you like.

I'm not sure this would be possible or effective, at least not with my items. I generally sell bad wizard items. If I can make it happen I will.

 

"BENIHANA"

This one falls under the humor category: 2 Wizards with Wall Of Fire and Volcano serve up victims via Winds Of War to a warrior "chef" who is equipped with chop attacks (I have 2x Master's Battleaxe). I do not know how to make him catch shrimp in his hat, but I'll leave that up to you.

 

I was going to suggest Melee Wizards but I'll go one step further - nimble strike Wizards. My one try at that failed spectacularly. DO ME PROUD PILGRIM

 

There are only a few ways that I know of to make this happen. Using ironwood staves for both staves, having a ton of card cycling, and either using inspiration to mass draw them, OR having a nimble strike character with the ability to feed the wizard nimble strikes (BF training). I'll do builds for things that people suggested that are possible, and if I can make it I'll post.

 

A cross-class party could be interesting:
Burn, Discard, Encumber warrior
Bash, Reliable Mail, Frenzy Aura wizard
Bash, Step, Discard priest

Placeholder for Neoncat's deck

 

Your "Maximum Rage" is nowhere near maximum. No Oversized Pick, for one thing.

 

My objective was to make a non-bad build that incorporates elements of the themes and can still win games past 1200.

 

I'd like to see an agility/mobility themed team, but without any step attacks, as in, Quick Run with Powerful Hack for the "roll your own" Dancing Cut. Include stuff like Acrobatic Flip, Reflexive Teleport, obviously Hard to Pin, Jump Back, Dodge, etc. Possibly include Barge, Violent Spin, Muscle Through. Maybe if there's a wizard it should focus on removing mobility from the opposing team, but with terrain (acid, spikes) instead of cold. Maybe a 2 warrior 1 wiz build, or 1/1/1, I'm not sure.

 

I'll do that and upload one. It'll feature little to no step attacks.
