You may not want akakios's blade as much as you think you do. Dunewalker's mantle is not worth much but it is an exo so you probably won't get it for free.

Thanks a ton man. What does exo mean, by the way? And yeah, it might not be the best thing, but I play gimmick theme decks so

Exo= Exotic
Rare

Common

There are also LE and legendary and stuff like that, but those are the rarity. Exo's are generally worth more than rares and commons/uncommons.

It is rarity.

Common < Uncommon < Rare < Exo(tic) < Limited < legendary


E:f,b.

But I can add that you have 10% per pack that your rare is an exo, or 100% that you get at least one in a full box.

Legendary are special editions that are released between normal expacs, unsure on when/how. They usually have a theme, like a Titan per faction, or ambassador or some such.

I am working on making a UD deck. I picked up a couple of packs, and I am looking to at TCGbay for trading some cards is that site good? Also if anyone here has some mainstay UD runes for trade i have some stuff i can offer. Just looking for some basic runes, like deep elf priestess/monk/summoner, soulbleeder, sacrifice, maddening echoes, acrid smoke, deep leviathan. I have a few runes of worth for trade: Murder, elven ancestor, stitched anathema/concealer, blessing of the river, boulder throw, cancel magic, pit dragon, staff of ascendance, and stitched possession.

I'm thinking of putting together Tortun deck. Pirate Turtles just seems too awesome not to do. What's the best way to go about this and what are the staples I'm going to need?
Also i'd like to use the Corsairs and Duelists if i can.

Right now Repeaters are the new hotness, and Portalmages are also extremely good. Also make sure to include 2 Fishkissers for melee, they're very strong. You might also want 1-2 Avenging Angels, Tortuns are extremely strong with any sort of ap gen or healing, and the Angel covers both. However, lots of the Tortun champs are good, so you can afford to pick and choose what champs you want to use. The only champs I'd really advise you not to use are the Favored and Gale Singer.

Don't feel compelled to spring for Captains, they're okay but not totally necessary. Also of the two Tortun heroes Tremir is better.

Equip-wise make sure to get a Horn of Order, it's real good for Tortuns. Then you could also get a Withering Fern or two, and you may want Rejuvenation Rings as well.

Pack 2 Nature's Wrath and maybe a Brambles for AoE, Herbal Antidote for cleanse (or you could use the Cleansing Emerald relic), and maybe a Reclaim for utility.

Thanks, that's really great info. I'm still getting started on this game, so I have a very limited card pool. Is there a cheap option to get some of the stuff?
I won't mind springing for a box though, so which set would i need to go for to get a good amount of Tortun cards?
Also if anyone has some spare Avenging Angels or really any junk they're not using that i might find useful, I'd be more than happy to take some of it off your hands.

All of the last 4 expansions have an equal amount of Tortun stuff but your best bet value wise I think would be the latest expansion, Heroes' Dawn. 1 box should give you all the trade fodder you need :)

Bear in mind that I'm not really an FS guy, but right off the bat you should try to fit a reverbrating blast or two into the deck. Two stuns can either win a battle or force your opponent to spend his nora on spot cleanse, netting you some damage at a cheap net cost. I think you could probably lose a backfire to do it but that's up to you and your playstyle.

Lose the elites, Mindwarp Frogs or Salaman Rooks are much better melee for much cheaper. As nice as the Spitters are, I'd still only suggest using them in a BG with more poison in it. Surge: Poison is still their biggest selling point. I'd drop a Negamage too (if not both), they're handy but not great outside their niche.

I'm pretty sure you've been putting a Tortun BG together. I'd put the better ones in to this BG as well. Yes, you'll have to lose the marsh songs, but Gunslingers, Repeaters, Fishkissers are all worth it. They'll also buff your Savant (get a second if you can). Neuromancers are most likely out of your price range, but if you can get them - do so. They are amazing.

A more interesting route you could take this is to obtain two Tidemasters (pretty cheap since they're in the starters), put in the Mindwarp Frogs, keep the Spitters in and have a pretty decent poison element. You wouldn't have to use tortuns (if you're one of those no split runes in FF people) and you'd have what actual poison BGs lack - alternate damage types.

Drop a backfire for sure, they're quite expensive to be dropping willy-nilly. Add in a Reverb Blast or two and definitely think about corrode. Spell-based anti-equip is the best kind and since it's AoE it also gets by shielded/warding on champs. Whether you keep the Marsh Songs depends on if you added tortuns or not obviously.

You have 4 sources of water. You could stand to lose one or two (especially if you went with Tidemasters and Frogs since they make water). Pygmy Hippo Stampede is a nice spell you may want to consider. It does good damage and can also contest a font. If you go the poison route (or even if you don't) Poisonous Fumes is a great spell also.

Soak The earth (very good when it is needed but it is seldom from my experience and I have good range, maybe I can sniper relics instead?)

Flip through the checklists by expansion and faction and see if any of them have a couple runes you want to use. Alternatively, Dawn of Elements and Grimlic's Descent, as the newest and so most generally adequate.

Don't know UD so not gonna comment except to say that gold Grimlic is on sale and his cost is 30k. Same as regular grimlic but all gold and poo poo. Just look in player rewards at all expansions, UD runes only.
