I’m currently playing a Blood/Feral/Present deck (in CAWS, actually) - I can’t say I really know how it plays yet because I’ve only finished 1 game with it so far (in which I got crushed basically before I got to do anything), but this is something that in theory my deck can do. The two main ideas are: lots of haste (red starter, Drakk plus the rest of Blood, and Present), and “throw units in his face from your codex” (Feral Strike, Warp Gate Disciple, Temporal Distortion). Of course, if you can throw things like Crashbarrows at him, despite not having chosen Blood for Tech 2, that makes it even more fun. I don’t know how good it is yet, but it has potential for some really explosive turns!
Ready or Not on a hasted Rampaging Elephant is actually one of the things I thought of after “designing” this codex - but it’s not likely to happen for me in a game because I can’t see me choosing Feral Tech 2 with it (at the moment I’m always planning for Present, although I can see Blood working better in some matchups maybe).
While I’m here, the other idea I’m toying with at the moment is Ninjutsu/Anarchy/X - because the idea of Fox’s Den Students plus Chaos Mirror is just hilarious for me, and there seem to be quite a few other nice little synergies between the two specs. I just finished my first game with it - with Disease as the 3rd spec, which I basically didn’t even use - against petE in a forum thread, and although I lost it was really close (I basically lost a Tech 3 race, having misplayed several times). I’ve only today realised that Finesse would be a much better 3rd spec, so I’ve started a new game playing that.
I may be terrible at this game, but I enjoy thinking up crazy combinations that might work, or at least be entertaining!
