Against decks without an answer to him, MonoRook is always a viable strategy.

Penatronic · April 14, 2017, 12:52am

Seems like discipline as main gets you anti molac and anti rook, pretty good deal

Bob199 · April 14, 2017, 1:13am

Ja, but not as good of a win condition as Rook. Birds Nest, Earthquake, Colossus and Rook himself, are better compared to Young Lightning Dragon & Daigo

Penatronic · April 14, 2017, 1:28am

People seem to like yld a lot, haven’t played it yet myself.

Bob199 · April 14, 2017, 1:38am

YLD suffers the same problem as other flyers without obliterate, they can’t both deal dmg to a base and deal with opposing threats at the same time.

Penatronic · April 14, 2017, 1:55am

I mean, most units can’t do that, but flying shit can get crazy value if it sticks around doing unanswered damage to ground units

Raiddinn · April 15, 2017, 1:42am

The hope with dragons is that they can kill something every turn without dying. Same as the hope with everything else.

They are pretty OK at that. They have flying and it’s a big help if the opponent doesn’t have much against flying.

I played a game where I put out a dragon and my opponent put out some anti-air. I killed his anti-air with my other units and the dragons got free kills on stuff without anti-air.

The opponent doesn’t have a lot of time to deal with it either. Two gold per turn can keep the opponent’s highest tech building offline which is a major setback if they don’t have an answer immediately.

Penatronic · May 11, 2017, 7:43pm

I has more spec to try

Bob199 · May 11, 2017, 10:00pm

Post a T1, any specs you’d like me to play, and let’s go!

Penatronic · May 11, 2017, 10:14pm

I’m going to try nerco balance anarchy, you play a tier 1 deck of your choice

Bob199 · May 11, 2017, 10:22pm

I’ll play Vandy + Jaina & Midori then

Penatronic · May 11, 2017, 11:19pm

Jaina eh? Interesting

unfortunate split, would have loved pestering haunt, and to not have to worker a skeleton theme card immediately, as one of my potential win conditions I may try is skele horde + midori (bone collector and moments peace, plus midori midband)

@bob199 your turn

Shadow_Night_Black · May 11, 2017, 11:43pm

Penatronic

you say working skeletal archery is bad as you may want Midori to buff your skeletons as a win condition, but he won’t buff them if skeletal archery is in play as they have abilities? Am I missing something?

kind of at a loss for my tech this turn, nether drain not looking so great at this point, but I don’t want to just pack my deck with T1 units, either.

Thoughts

never actually used wandering mimic, but it seems decent against fire. If he does the bird, I have a blocker now. Once I get it untargetable it will trade decently well with his other T2 options. Necro t2 is obviously not good vs Fire, and while anarchy looks decent, just some ephemeral sharks could do the trick.
