Eredan's World

hi dude. yeah, i know it says chain action, i get it. but that doesnt mean that a non-action cant be played after it . in the example that i am giving, if u play in the name of the dragon+ temporalis, the card chosen by in the name of the dragon gets played after temporalis, simple as that, thus being counted as a chain.
This is the same if u play in the name+ power, if u choose a spell using in the name, power + 2 spirit, instead of + 2 attack. What i am asking is what happens if u choose chimera, do u get to copy chimera or u dont?

Thanks for the fast response

Imo, psychurgist lv 3 is a better char instead of salem, since he provides a more aggressive discard approach. Most of the suggestions here are based on a build using Alyce, ATD and the Psychurgist.

Im not gonna give u a whole decklist, since you would work best using a build that u are most comfortable with. However, cards i would recommend are:

For defense:
I hate brawlers  and illusary reflection ( id go with 2x copies of brawlers, a copy of look away and one reflection)
Chiaroscuro
Tadaa!
Turn to the Shadow Side ( some guys use this to better protect ATD )

For discard:
Break the second chain (mostly to replay mental syphon using alyce and abyssien. altho if u plan on using panic!, u can copy that too when using Alyce)
Blackmail ( a versatile card and strictly better than conjuring. usable by both psychurgist and alyce. psychurgist recycles it as well)
Festivities ( best used on abyssien, activates the abilities on alyce and psychurgist)
illumination ( good card for psychurgist to get mental syphon earlier )

On top of that, id drop free the shadow and conjuring. Also, i wouldnt use 3 treacherous, since some opponents have low spirits.

Hope this helps

Hi guys. ive been running this deck for a while now, and i think adding break the 2nd chain is essential for alyce. since she can play shadow spells w/o restriction, she can play break the 2nd chain for any shadow spell in your discard pile. I normally use it to buyback never lonely so that u basically have 5 never lonely in your deck

Hope this helps

Id say the best dude for the job is arkalon, with:

Chimera, Exordium, The dragons champ, dragon armor, crystal shelf, Dissatisfaction.
Life devourer.

basically equip arkalon with the stuff above, and let your other characters die. Also leave one beast on the opponents side. That way dissatisfaction will deal 8 direct dmg each turn.

Arkalon recycles cards, so that way youll be able to use in the name of the dragon every turn to take back The last action or other kill cards for a guaranteed kill every turn.

Arkalon is a beast.

hmm, an alternate version of pirate mage decks that ive played uses artrezil's ring.
basically put a ring on mylad so that her spirit is +3, thus also boosting lighting beaks spirit. I find that if both mylad and beak are super resistant to other mage decks using this technique

Hi dude.

I find that this build lacks some firepower when it comes to  dealing dmg. It seems to only have katamaru x2, onijutsu x 2 and break the chain, while having too much defensive cards ( tadaa, vanish, evil intentions, sentence, dissidence )
It also seems to lack a bit in terms of chains, about 5, not including tsume for karasu.
I would suggest reducing 2 defensive cards for 1 offense and 1 more chain.

- evil intention +RoD
- vanish          +secret society/ reborn

I would also suggest dissatisfaction since zatochi is an undead.

Hi. This is a deck im using that tries to utilize yu ling to the max. Its a variant of the Demon-Crow decks inspired by Roild

Yu Ling
Toran
Zatochi Kage

Rain of Death                  x3
Onijutsu                          x3
Katamaru                        x3
Break the first chain         x1
Randori                           x2
Integrity                          x2
Origami                           x3
Storm                              x1
Dissidence                       x1
Vanish                             x1

The deck tries to use Yu ling for 1 hit-kills on her order bonus. Zatochi and Toran both act as supporting units to boost her up. The normal gameplay of the deck revolves around chain+ spell.  The deck plays somewhat like WB, blasting powerful spells coupled with a decent attack.

General plays:
Yu Ling:

Randori/origami/integrity + RoD/Katamaru/break the first chain/ onijutsu

Any combo of the above should/will kill the opp char on her order bonus.
I.e Randori+ RoD on the 1st turn: 8/11 attack + between 9-14 magic dmg

The beauty of this is that most ppl dont realize Yu Ling is capable of a 1hko and wont really put in defensive cards to counter this. Her natural un-killability is nice, with zatochi giving her a +1 health, and an extra +2 if ***bip*** fighting a guem.
( Yu Ling eats Abomb and Keizan for breakfast ^^)

Toran:

Origami + RoD/ Katamaru/break the first chain

Toran is limited with fewer spells compared to yu ling. Toran is slightly weaker in trying to kill opp, but the RoDs will hurt
I use toran mostly as the utility guy, using dissidence or storm when the situation calls for it.

Zatochi:

Origami/ Randori/ Integrity + Katamaru/ Onijutsu

Basically the same MO, chain+ spell. Zatochi's bonus and the fact that he is a warrior ensures that Break the chain is X + 6 spirit dmg.

Strengths
- Consistency. I find that i rarely get a bad hand cause u only need to get a chain+ spell, and i get that most of the time.
- Unpredictability. Its hard to defend against both magic and physical attacks, and this deck can do both well.

The deck is has a real anti-mage feeling to it, with all the chains granting u bonus spirit. The deck has no problems with kotoba, saps, noz, nehants and pirates.
The only bad matchups for this deck is discard and eclipse. Immortals are 50:50.

Other cards to consider:

Danger in delay---> origami ( both serve a somewhat same function and both recycle)
Exordium ( putting this on Yu Ling makes her a b****)

If u cant afford RoD's or fireballs, i suggest the new 'sinking' spell from the Sap update. Other than that, most of the cards are affordable.

Hope the deck helps
