ok talk about frustrating or is there something im missing?
i get my compendiums spirit to 7 against a character with 0 spirit yet i still only done 4 magic damage at the end of the turn:(! wtf is going on?

Read closely of what [card]Crystal Storm[/card] states: Spirit of opposing character +2

3-fly off the handle
3-lunation
3-the howls
1-nehantic stone
1-time to die
1-offensive

this has got to be close to 1 of the best pack builds right?
why am i still getting rinsed by next to everything in ELO?

the prob with this deck is that you're playing [card]The Howls[/card] and 3 random other cards ([card]Assassination[/card], [card]Time to Die[/card] and [card]...and War[/card]). The Howls only look good on paper but do next to nothing against most decks. the random single Assassination and ...and War wont help since they don't chain in your deck and hence only got limited use. The Time to die is only limited usefull since only 2 characters can play it, you have to save up and attack boost for those (poor fenrath).
Instead try playing [card]The best defense...[/card], [card]Dissidence[/card], [card]Clumsiness[/card] and [card]Favor of the Dawn[/card]. Clumsiness is almost a must against most decks and Favor of the Dawn has unlimited use if you know when to play it. Dissidence is one of the most used and powerfull cards in ELO for a reason.
other usefull cards would be [card]Storm[/card] (in the first and second turn you can ensure the atk bonus of fenrath while also damaging the enemy), [card]Nehant Shield[/card] (thins out the deck and make The best defense... hit for one more), [card]Danger in Delay[/card] (plain and good), [card]Strenght of Zil[/card] , [card]Stone-Heart[/card] (keeps your characters somewhat alive and trigger Fenraths boost for the next turn) and [card]Hit the Road[/card] (for more control over the turn orders)

that beeing said, yeah i play The Pack, and yes i tried out The Howls but the benefits of that card where dimishing when i could have also just played a +2 to +3 atk instead (the first pet gives you only an extra atk with 3 strenght. so 3 armor chars just laugh at that. it only finds limited use against normads). the 2 big weak points of The Pack are that they are predictable and that they stuggle hard against any kind of mage decks. preemtive shutdown might also be something you might want to look into. for a while i run with Litmus Test, Dissidence, Peace Treaty and Suspicion of Treason (Wild is a gumelite you know^^), then again i missed the damage output i was used to.
also you could run a glass cannon build where you utilise Blood Ties three times together with Storm and Time to Die. it works. but stuggles somewhat against pirate marauders and eclipse.

the thing i'm trying right now is Pack marauders with Wild, Dark and Bloodsword. but i feel like something's missing to max it's utility right now (thou Dark works pretty good against mages, avalonians and ice elfes due to her high spirit and merc debuff)

Fixed your cards. Yeah, I have a couple of sugestions:

-1 [card]Lunation[/card] I don't think you need three of 'em. They ain't that good to play. You need more pure damage right away.
-1 [card]...And War[/card] Not tough enough.
-1 [card]Capturing the Enemy[/card] Not tough enough.

+3 [card]A Warrior's Fury[/card]

Maybe toolbox it a bit with an [card]Anthematise[/card] and [card]Clumsiness[/card].

I play a weaker version of the pack with [card]Dark[/card] instead of Fenrath. Mainly because noone else does it. I throw in a couple of life devourers just in case, but you play Bestial so you don't need no more items. I play [card]Blood Ties[/card] as well, cause it's a solid +5 together with fly off the handle. I discard through the deck like mad to get the cards just right.

I mostly loose when I meet the tier 1 decks, but I haven't met a deck I can't beat if EVERYTHING goes my way.

Though, I'm just a newbie so I might overlook something.

hence why you get owned

Apart from the new dagger when are we gonna have a decent zil release to face the nomads and saps?

It's not too bad though, i made to 1703 elo last week, if i had more time to play i could have gone further

Comment and rate please!

telendar, abomination, saphyra the zil (some people like to use abomination, shadow and saphyra, but i don't like it)

assassination x3
offense x1
dagger master x1
at daggers drawn x2
dagger of sufferance x2
fist blade x2
artrezil's blade x2
time to die x1
that is the main list, then:

it's time x1 (use dagger master on saphyra, then it's time)
dark stone heart x1 (against magic damage)
chink in the armor x1

and the optionals
act of peace x1 (better than obesity if you play it on saphyra or telendar)
stirring up hatred x1 (to improve damage, you can use 2 if you iike)
on the road x1 (to break synergy or turn order on some decks, or just to accelerate dagger master)

maybe swap a tada for a fallback? works better against Sap multi hitters. and swap mirage for cloning...then you can cast multi treach.

drop tempus and put in i hate brawlers maybe? it chains...which helps. or could add a mercy?

imo an elo deck should really have clumsiness too.

I'd go:

2 Treach (not every deck has high spirit)
3 Look Away
1 Mental Syphon
1 Festivities
2 Cloning
1 Anathamatize
2 I hate brawlers
1 Ta da
1 Mercy
1 Chico thingy
1 Clumsiness

rest upto you
