Eredan's World

ok im not trying to be a dick here but did either of you last two people really even read the starting post or just skim over the pop up cards that made up the deck?

I'm not making a deck for elo or to to be the best deck around, i wanted to "specifically" use the sachem. I like the guy he is an interesting card to me. This is the deck i made to play off his strengths. So no even though it looks like a hom'chai last man standing, that is not what im making, nor am i making a world tree caster deck. I'm making a sachem deck.

Also to pikadusk do you know how the sachem works? If a beast or hom'chai dies, he changes appearances and gets a boosted attack and deals a secondary attack = to 5. So the deck is based of making that happen. This immediately rules out mylad and spirit speaker, it also explains why i wont use a mage/warrior from the world tree cast.

As for Keep the totems He does nothing for the deck. He puts 2 items immediately in discard pile. Not helpful when i want to equip them and im not making an IHAS deck. As for rock speaker, he only heals my people 2hp on death, while the others give permanent stat boosts, much more useful. Also he has terrible spirit as a mage and adds nothing to the deck really.

This is why in the post after Nurvus i agreed with him about sachem keeping his mage class when he changes being helpful so he can still cast. This is also why i said if they made a hom'chai mage/warrior combo like the ones in the world tree cast (hundawa and hailwalker) it would fit nicely in here.

Again not trying to be a dick just neither of those last 2 posts were helpful in any way.

*Edited* for an obscene amount of typos, really should proof read before clicking submit haha.

In the bar of commands that sits above your type box when making a post, click the card button.

Side not here after further testing, To our ancestors does not last two turns like it says. Having the card still attached to my character, i played feign death to dias intervention. Only got a 2 def boost instead 4 and no heals from playing intervention even though since to our ancestors was still attached my character was still technically a dias.

I'm also running a version of this, but one odd thing i have found...it works a hell of a lot better with out melissandre. It works really well with the other 2 and a pilfress. If you throw in a few [card]butterfly collar[/card] you can get 3 hit and then a 4th with briskness and quick draw.

I'm also packing 3 [card]mystical bow[/card] and 2 [card]elfine bow[/card] just to help draw them more often. Also mystical takes effect that turn and turns after so if you pull a second one, no real harm in just replacing the one on you. On top of that, rune a few [card]feign death[/card]'s and then those excess bows in the discard pile just heal you. [card]Amber dagger[/card] are still nice, since chestnut can chain or you can just tack on for more damage, as well as more towards you getting heals from feign.

Screw [card]hypnotic melody[/card], def -3 is nice but the attack down really hurts, especially with all the debuff cards going around now, no reason to lower your own attack. With intimidation, the collars, the mystic bow's and a few [card]piercing arrows[/card], you should really not have that many worries about def. Try and recycle the piercing arrows if you can as they are really nice against decks that stack def.

Your main goal is to either one shot them with well timed 4 strike attack, or lower them to below 5 so you can pick um off with elfine bow out of combat.

Doesn't Kuraying prevent alyce and abyssian from casting fire and light spells, making RoD a dead card?

Appreciate the feedback thanks a ton! Sorry to keep asking questions just trying to get this deck working.

Wondering if im a bit over loaded now at all. Im running 29 cards total, 1 obesity, 1 clumsiness, the secret of the crow and a dissidence. Should i keep all 4? I'm thinking of dropping obesity maybe, missed out on revival will have to pick it up in the store when it pops up if i have the feez.

im looking for some help with these guys as well to get in the right direction. Out of curiosity, Vital point better then allegiance or should you run both?

Draconic Alishk is very nice in a compendium deck, though he is a little fragile so have to be careful with him.

Breaker is a very good spell to throw in as well, since it can remove any type of card, as long as it is on the opponent. Helps with wild buds, ecstasy and so forth. As squamation said, cut an thrust can be very nice as well, more item removal and if not you can get a nice attack boost against some one who is stacking def. Alishk benefits nicely from them too. Magic study is a solid cheap spell as people have pointed out very nice when used on a pythia with [card]Slyphide[/card] and [card]The other side of the coin[/card] if you have that. [card]Gravitron[/card] can be a nice addition to for cheap to help with spot removal.

Im running something similar. I loaded up the denial cards though, works nice surprisingly, though i live and die by the shuffler a little to much.

Mage cards themselves are completely fine for the most part. They have low attack and low def but high spirit, while the melee classes have low spirit, high defense and high attack. So at a glance it should all be balanced. How ever it really isn't and that argument about cost makes everything fine is total horse poop. So lets reward players who can throw money at this game like its water buy also giving them the ability to roll over all other players making it harder to get new players into the game. Especially since as you all say its cheaper to start a melee deck, so that is where most new players go.

The problem as people have said is the spells themselves. Problem one is mage player goes first, and plays a [card]Rain of Death[/card] first chained to a def card like [card]Mirage[/card]. Melee class player on def plays a chain card to then a spirit up card to help his magic def. Guess what that spirit up card does nothing for him. The spell goes off as soon as it is played, while the warrior has to wait till all card buffs take place to attack. This means that the mage gets to attack an undefended melee character while the melee character now has to attack a defended mage.

Also there is a serious lack of worth while anti magic cards in melee decks. In a melee deck the only purpose they have is to go against mages. So if you come across another melee deck, the card/s sit there and collect dust. While with mages a card that helps them against melee characters will still be at least some what useful when they go against another mage deck.

So basically mages get to put all the cards they want into their decks to help make their strategy work as often as possible. While you tell people who play melee decks to sacrifice cards to the help their strategy in order to defend against the mage decks they run into here and there....yes that's balance for ya.

To bring this back to topic, in order to counter mages, just cross your fingers and pray that they don't get their cards and that you get the perfect draw every time and that all your characters hit for max damage every hit. Other then that just sit there and take the beating.

Thanks Steelie Appreciate the feedback.

Yea Rargnor would add a little more damage to the deck, but with the current trend of one shooting go around a lot, i prefer Red-marks survival. If i don't get the right cards Rargnor can go down almost to easily and leave the opponent still standing. I feel you get the most use from Rargnor when you play the life idols or what ever they are called  that add defense and heal.

I did run through the tutorial and picked up the living dagger. I leveled it all the way and it actually can work semi nicely on Silikat, especially since after turn 4 she will general do more damage and can gain those 2 HP.

Thanks for all the help everyone, really appreciate it.

Yea I have been looking at [card]Keep the Costoms[/card] once i get enough crystals I'm going to grab one and try it out. [card]Net Traps[/card] though is worthless though, I had 2 of them in my deck for a while and they just are not that good. Also the [card]Hit the Road[/card]'s that i have in here are really key. I managed to take out an entire Sap hearts mage deck with Silikat alone thanks to them (semi mage had one ydiane).

Is there any way to pick up a a Trophy that has already past at all, I noticed that they all had the "Had to be completed between x and y date and most are over a year ago. So I'm assuming that there isn't other then buying them. The one Trophy card [card]Mix Up[/card] looks like it could fit in here nicely. The thing this deck feels it needs most is just to squeeze out 2-3 more damage on an attack here and there. There are several times when an enemy can escape with 1-2 health left or it can have them at 0 but thanks to effects/ items they heal back up to 1 or 2. I need a way to stop that lol.

I also have been look at [card]Fierceness[/card] a lot since most enemies escape with only a few health points left, might be a good way to snag them before then can come back and bite me.

*Edit* realized i had costumes not customs for some reason lol

Thanks for that Drac, nice to know crystals are not crazy hard to obtain in large quantities.

I have 2 random questions to ask one is kind of on topic the other is way off but maybe you all can help.

I noticed people can gain a slew of cards from defeating certain adventure bosses, cards like [card]Quick Draw[/card] which would help me out immensely and save me some crystals. So what i want to ask is how hard are the bosses of the factions to take down and how heavy specialized do the decks need to be to take them out?

2 random question and this one is really really random. I started playing this game through a site called Kongregate, that's how i found it. However after actually going to the games real site i noticed fees are actually cheaper, at least for right now. I tried logging in with my name and password from Kongregate but it does not work. Is there a way to transfer or link the account at all so i can get the cheaper fees from here if i buy any?

haha dont know how I missed that one. Ok so tribals are out and back to Quercus, should i run 2? Also im not actually dead set on Rargnor , right now all i have actually is Red-mark  and im fine with that, want to flesh out the 20 additional cards first.

Ill look into Item's have a soul as well. Thanks for all the feed back everyone really appreciate it.
