There are so many variations of it too! Even ones, dragon ones, aggro, combo. They're somehow all bullshit. Also I came up against unitless Hooru with Svetya's Sanctum. I have a feeling Turn to Seed is going to bring that back in force.

Just need to do 20 cards to activate that summon 3 6/4's thing. Also the new 4 mana 3/3 flyer that deals damage equal to spells in the enemy void can seal the deal too.

Haven't tried it but I want to say you get it back. Silencing the 7/7 Queensguard guy will unstun your unit. Also if you're both playing Dizo and steal them from each other things get bonkers real quick.

Machinations is actually a buff since it's now playable in Even decks. E: Also, Slay, and the previous Displays, are now expedition-legal. Jabor fucked around with this message at 02:10 on May 12, 2020 |

I like most of it but don't really get their reasoning behind the Blazing Salvo nerf - yeah, it was the most efficient of its circle but it's still the only way Fire can access the market in Expedition. And while this doesn't necessarily hit the aggro decks, as is their reason, it fucks with controls who arguably need market access the most. Can't say I'm happy about that particular restriction. Blightmoth still unaffected, too.

Probably something like this. https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/d/tnuLJA30ivQ/sots-hooru-control I don't think there's a solid single deck yet but that one looks good. Archmagister's Portal might be a fun thing that pops up in the new meta too. Didn't find any good portal lists on Eternal Warcry but a grave yard recursion, revenge, and killer based Xenan list is infinite value. bamhand fucked around with this message at 14:50 on May 12, 2020 |

I mean I get using removal and stuff but I'm not sure how it wins. Draw down to Svetya's Sanctum? I just ground out a win with Svetya herself and pinging with Transfusion. I might just need to adjust my mindset. apophenium fucked around with this message at 00:41 on May 13, 2020 |

I gave direwolf some money because I've been playing this just about every day for like over 2 years. It lets me play that new shadow ikara deck listed a dozen or 2 posts above, also been playing keelo curse decks. I kinda got real sick of stranger decks for awhile but I've been seeing dragon decks to make up for it lately. I'd like to try some dragon action but i don't seem to have any of the highest cost good ones.

This is my list currently. I've posted a bunch of variations of it in the past. I've used it for the last 3 months at least to get master. Scourge of Frostholme is in there for mirror and vs Hooru but honestly it's pretty bad outside of those cases. Also the current popular Feln deck has Midnight Gale and that 1/4 flyer that makes 1/2 flyers. Also not feeling Rost right now with how common Turn to Seed and Annihilate is. Feastcaller or something is probably better. 2 Suffocate (Set1 #251) 4 Annihilate (Set1 #269) 2 Eilyn's Favor (Set0 #24) 2 Eremot's Designs (Set1007 #9) 3 Ice Bolt (Set6 #151) 4 Strategize (Set3 #165) 4 Blight Pass Smuggler (Set6 #235) 4 Jennev Merchant (Set4 #169) 4 Turn to Seed (Set1087 #8) 4 Wisdom of the Elders (Set1 #218) 4 Champion of Cunning (Set1 #371) 4 Jotun Hurler (Set1 #227) 4 Rost, the Walking Glacier (Set6 #175) 3 Dizo's Office (Set5 #182) 3 Primal Sigil (Set1 #187) 2 Clan Standard (Set4 #145) 4 Cobalt Waystone (Set3 #151) 2 Shadow Sigil (Set1 #249) 4 Crest of Cunning (Set3 #267) 4 Feln Banner (Set1 #417) 4 Feln Insignia (Set6 #234) 4 Seat of Cunning (Set0 #62) --------------MARKET--------------- 1 Royal Decree (Set6 #154) 1 Hailstorm (Set1003 #11) 1 Honor of Claws (Set1005 #15) 1 Black-Sky Harbinger (Set1 #385) 1 Scourge of Frosthome (Set1 #248)

I got to master last month with feln too, but this month I've tried it twice for a while and gotten destroyed both times. No defense whatsoever for Tome, and I just ran into it 4 out of 5 of my last matches. Two discard, and 2 of some new relic build

For Mill you just gotta kill them. And hope you Decree an important card. Champion of Cunning is a big boy and their removal is generally very light. Sometimes yeah you'll get steamrolled but I think it's actually in your favor.

I feel like I'm 1-7 against mill but maybe it's because I'm tilted right now. I mean seriously I just played some other deck for five games, no mill, switch back to feln; turn two tome [edit] went on a 6-1 run after that, so luck finally changed Nosre fucked around with this message at 22:58 on May 19, 2020 |

I got masters so I can return to my sweet spot, tier 2 - 1.5ish jank. Like this probably could get to masters if you ground the poo poo out of it, but it's not consistent enough to do so easily.

Jekk is a really cool card. No single thing it does is overtly strong but it's just too much in one package. Make it cost 5 but with the discard effect be free, have it only hit one thing, have it only target units, have it not give you troves, have it be a 1/3. Implementing any one of those changes would be good.
