Kothonless Chalice is probably the best shiftstone to power ratio in the game, but it takes a very particular sort of person to enjoy it, especially in the mirror.

How do you find Wisdom of the Elders in that deck? I 7-0'd with this version: 4 Oni Ronin (Set1 #13) 4 Permafrost (Set1 #193) 4 Pyroknight (Set1 #16) 4 Snowcrust Yeti (Set2 #105) 4 Torch (Set1 #8) 4 Champion of Fury (Set2 #187) 2 Kaleb's Favor (Set0 #3) 3 Ornate Katana (Set1 #23) 4 Rakano Outlaw (Set1 #20) 3 Rockslide (Set2 #189) 4 Cinder Yeti (Set1002 #1) 2 Shogun's Scepter (Set1 #26) 3 Vadius, Clan Father (Set2 #191) 2 Crimson Firemaw (Set1002 #3) 3 Obliterate (Set1 #48) 9 Fire Sigil (Set1 #1) 4 Primal Sigil (Set1 #187) 2 Cobalt Monument (Set1 #418) 4 Seat of Fury (Set0 #53) 4 Skycrag Banner (Set2 #186) 2 Diplomatic Seal (Set1 #425) I'm cutting a Katana for another Firemaw. I like Firemaw, costing 4 rather than 5 for the Drake is a big deal, I think. Surviving a torch matters sometimes too. I've been wondering what to do for the Kaleb's Favor/Ornate Katana slots, they feel a bit too low impact, so maybe I'll try Wisdom of the Elders. I don't really like Polymorph in this deck since it leaves behind a blocker for all of the 2/1s. I should go back up to 4 Vadius, though (probably cut a Cinder Yeti).

I didn't ever find a super great time for wisdoms honestly, I usually had something better in hand. I did run 2 pummels though and they pulled some work, so maybe try that. Also, in regards to polymorph, it's about the only low cost removal for SST you can run, so there's that to consider.

I played Argenport Bartholo/Tavrod and went something like 7-1, 7-2, 3-3. I can't remember if Lazerwolf was one of the people I played against. I dusted a fair number of random legendaries to get the Barts in time for this tournament. I actually regret it a little, because while I'd never actually play those legendaries in anything, it was a setback in terms of collection completion.

Everyone who posted skycraggro lists on this page left out Mortar and I can't figure out why. Mortar is a good card, and having higher density of burn in skycraggro than you can get by only playing torch and obliterate is really nice. Opponent thinks they're safe because they're on 7 life and you have 5 power? Ho ho ho get mortared and torched. Combrei deck plays out Siraf as a blocker because she can't be torched? Goodbye. p.s. curse you japtor for playing chalice in the event (actually I appreciated the game I lost against you because you played at a fast pace instead of obnoxiously slow like 99% of the jerks who run chalice)

What would you cut from of my list to make room for it? I'm not arguing that it's a bad card, but it rarely makes the cut. Spending four mana to answer their three drop is not something an aggro deck wants to do.

Playing Dark Roaches VS Feln Control and he played Rain of Frogs T4 and hit my Clockroaches, but also saw the Azindel's Gift in my hand. Turn 6 I had a feeling he was gonna do it again to hit my Gift so I used Second Sight to throw it on top of my deck & sure enough he tried and I only gave him a hand full of sigils and frogs

Okay, I'm going to be super salty, because I played Skycraggro in the Event and had a good streak going, until I ran into a Combrei deck that somehow managed to naturally draw ALL FOUR SSTS. I still almost won that game and probably would have if they'd drawn even one fewer.

So this is my Elysian jank pile: 4 Initiate of the Sands (Set1 #74) 3 Permafrost (Set1 #193) 4 Seek Power (Set1 #408) 2 Friendly Wisp (Set1 #82) 3 Sauropod Wrangler (Set1 #83) 4 Second Sight (Set1 #207) 3 Twinning Ritual (Set1 #79) 4 Ageless Mentor (Set1 #90) 4 Amber Acolyte (Set1 #93) 3 Wisdom of the Elders (Set1 #218) 1 Champion of Wisdom (Set1 #358) 3 Nesting Avisaur (Set1 #225) 1 Sandstorm Titan (Set1 #99) 2 Reliquary Raider (Set1 #110) 2 Twinbrood Sauropod (Set1 #113) 4 Predatory Carnosaur (Set1 #118) 2 Thunderstrike Dragon (Set1 #243) 9 Time Sigil (Set1 #63) 1 Amber Monument (Set1 #420) 7 Primal Sigil (Set1 #187) 1 Cobalt Monument (Set1 #418) 4 Elysian Banner (Set1 #421) 4 Seat of Wisdom (Set0 #63) I think the most obvious upgrades would be Dawnwalkers and more Wisps. At the low rank I'm at I'm not seeing Tavrods and SSTs regularly, but if they become a problem I'll probably want a couple Polymorphs. Not sure how I feel about Sauropod Wranglers yet, they seem like a good fit but I'm often unimpressed by them in game.

JT Jag posted:Before you start crafting more legendaries I'd advise you acquire two Crystallizes and yeah, full sets of Dawnwalker and Wisp. Xenan Obelisk is a real good card too, going forward. I have two Crystallizes but I'm surprised they'd be relevant here. My problem is never closing out a game but rather getting to turn 5-6 at a healthy life total so that I can start dropping dinos and dragons every turn. Obelisk is definitely on my list too, along with Dawnwalker it seems prevalent in a lot of Time decks. I really need to burn through my gold on forge and draft as I'm hesitating to craft anything while I know I have a lot of packs to open yet.

3-3 with praxis tokens and in those six games not once did I draw an obelisk, so that's fun. Final loss was against chalice just to rub it in. I don't even hate chalice as a deck, I just hate how every chalice player seems to have a rate limit of one card every 45 seconds while they play.

Nosre posted:I, meanwhile, went 2-3 with that. That sucks. On the power vs. consistency scale, this deck favors the former, so you'll wind up with some games where you can't do anything. If there was a better cantrip/card draw for one primal influence than trailblaze, I would seriously consider cutting the wisdom for it and going heavier on rakano influence. As is, you need buttloads of all three of your factions which makes the power base pretty ambitious. Dark armory with no Tavrod is better about this, but if you run Tavrod you have the same problem. uninverted fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Oct 15, 2017 |

Odysseus S. Grant posted:Okay. What would you cut from of my list to make room for it? My candidates for cuts to make room: 1 obliterate (you don't really want 4-of any high cost cards in skycraggro) 1 shogun's scepter 1-2 ornate katana For what it's worth this is the skycraggro list I've been running. It got me to masters in ranked and in the event I've had a few 7-win runs so far (including a 7-0). I'm pretty sure I stole it from someone who posted it in this thread so please don't mistake this as me taking credit for crafting it: 4 Oni Ronin (Set1 #13) 4 Permafrost (Set1 #193) 4 Pyroknight (Set1 #16) 4 Snowcrust Yeti (Set2 #105) 4 Torch (Set1 #8) 4 Champion of Fury (Set2 #187) 2 Kaleb's Favor (Set0 #3) 3 Ornate Katana (Set1 #23) 4 Rakano Outlaw (Set1 #20) 4 Rockslide (Set2 #189) 4 Vadius, Clan Father (Set2 #191) 2 Morningstar (Set1 #510) 2 Mortar (Set2 #194) 3 Obliterate (Set1 #48) 2 Soulfire Drake (Set1 #47) 8 Fire Sigil (Set1 #1) 5 Primal Sigil (Set1 #187) 4 Seat of Fury (Set0 #53) 4 Skycrag Banner (Set2 #186) 4 Diplomatic Seal (Set1 #425) I think the biggest thing that makes space for some Mortars here is weapons. You're running 8 where this list has only 5. Another interesting difference: this one uses Morningstar rather than Shogun's Scepter. IMO, Scepter is probably better for really early push, but can stall out once blockers like SST start to hit the board. In this list, Morningstar is great at continuing to push damage and/or kill blockers if you can't get the kill super early in the game. (Best carrier for it is Vadius, because 6/5 overwhelm quickdraw aegis is just nasty.)

It's an explorer in addition to being a dino, which is really good for Evelina decks. I think you run it as a Dino card, or a mentor card. Not both. BobHoward posted:My candidates for cuts to make room: That's a much slower list than the one I'm running, and also doesn't have the Cinder Yetis, which I've come to adore. And while Morningstar is incredibly strong on Vadius, the additional board presence Scepter offers, as well as the extra honks, makes it more well-suited for my hyperaggressive deck. The fact that I run only four cards above 3 power, and no triple influence cards, makes power screw insanely rare. Your list has more staying power, for sure, but my deck kills the opponent dead t5-t6. Odysseus S. Grant fucked around with this message at 11:18 on Oct 15, 2017 |

I might be overvaluing the surprise factor of holding it to exhaust a blocker vs. just playing it out, but I like that that nuance exists.

After a run of 1-3 / 2-3 drafts, I get a 7-2. I was at 6-0 but two games with mana screw cost me a 7-0. Oh well, thems the brakes. One game I had both awakened students and some lands. And really, thats all you need. I was a little worried when my final opponent played the steelfang chakram, but the strategy of never letting them keep a dude on board worked ok.
