Eredan's World

You will have to take my suggestions with a grain of salt, as I don't have a rockspeaker yet, although I do have most of the other cards in the deck to make this particular build, but I though of maybe using Rargnor and Red Mark, along with some standard items and actions, while using Rock Speaker as a kind of mage support, Ideally with Destructive Totems and Arachnophobia.

Red Mark
RockSpeaker
Rargnor

x1 Amber Spear
x1 Amber Sword
x1 Totemic Shield
x3 Life Idol
x1 Scroll of Fragility
x1 Scroll of The Insane
x1 Guardian Spear/ Perforator (Your Choice)
x3 Items have a soul
x2 Destructive Totem
x3 Arachnophobia
x2 Scouting the Area
x1 Bestial Wrath/ Shamanism/ Whatever your Heart desires to be in this slot

So, here's the idea, At it's core this deck is an IHAS, but not in the traditional "Toss everything but IHAS=profit" way, but in the "Correct" way. Rockspeaker is featured in this deck to A.) Bolster your offense with Arachnophobia and Destructive Totem as well as B.) chain the aforementioned spells with Scouting for a defense boost. The items are mostly all only usable by warriors with the exception of the scrolls, which really only serve as chains/defensive measures. The reason for choosing these items comes from the fact that they all either have some kind of Hom Chai bonus effect, chain or have a good synergy with IHAS, other than that they are interchangeable with whatever you want to throw in there. The thing to remember here is that this deck wont be taking any of the established decks-to-beat to the cleaners, but it is kind of fun to mess around with, and this is just one very small idea of how to use him.

Sidenote- Should you find that Arachnophobia is a hair out of your price range, you could replace them with essentially any spell that you think would support your warriors, such as Magic Poison, or Root, same goes for Destructive Totem. Just keep in mind that with a natural spirit of 0, spells that base their effects on spirit are a no-go here.

My point in all of this is that perhaps if we turn some attention to the situation, it might find some resolution. Do I think that just because I didn't get my point my opponent is a big stupid-head? No, I'm sure he had a perfectly good reason for trying extra extra hard to ruin everyone else's day. But I did want to put this forward, so that perhaps the community could give some constructive input to the situation, as well as find the scope and magnitude of this issue, be it one person or a recurring trend.

My complaint is with the mindset, not the situation. While the trophy itself is easy to get, Im rather confused on what would drive someone to go out of their way to ruin another person's trophy point when it really doesn't do them any good

Im really excited to see this update, too bad I spent all my money already

Crying aside, Ive been working on a pure Homchai deck that isnt made up of 80% items for some time, so these new cards are really the boost I needed for my deckbuild

I guess we wont know until the event ends

I feel like skyward boots falls under the same category as things like Magic Potion, in the way that A) they provide their effects before combat and thus before Freeze takes effect and B) they provide a bonus that cannot be removed. I can only chalk it up to the fact that unlike a stat bonus, these effects are not permanent, but I really dont know in the end why its like that , only that it is

So, do characters with duel races count as being different. If not, I dont think the Fallen will do very well in his own trophy

I would say try your hand at deckbuilding for yourself, Its oddly compelling trying to mix and match your own deck, testing and tweaking, and eventually seeing it succeed. Ive done that very same thing when the game gets stale, and its always worked for me. Just pick a guild (for me it was the pirates), hobble something together and see what happens, you never know, you might just find a new favorite deck type

Very true, I must have overlooked that. I can see now why that might be an asset, after all, you could actually use Narwhal and then attack again.

Not exactly, while I dont play pirates (got the trophy and got the heck out of there) Ardranis's effect is a mimic of the Sap Heart elfines, which is my area of expertise. The effect relies on her printed Min attack of 4, and no matter how high you raise that it will still only deal 4. With a large defense subtraction like 2 or 3 it makes a devastating difference, but with only a -1, you are really only looking at around 4 or less extra damage, assuming the character in question has been dropped to zero. Good Idea, not so great execution, just my 2 cents

Aside from that, Im still waiting with bated breath to see if they ever intend to do something with the World Tree caste, or the sap hearts at all
