An updated list of a classic archetype.
This is what I've been using for a while in Gauntlet, and decided I would share. It really crushes. AI just can't figure out how to calculate the damage of
Unseen Commando or
Kaleb's Persuader or
Minotaur Platemaker, and will constantly make silly attacks leaving themselves dead on board.
Torch is the best spell ever, Finest hour, possibly the best gauntlet spell ever.
Valkyrie Enforcer is a total Gauntlet allstar.
Whirling Duo and
Eclipse Dragon give you surprise burst damage the AI will never play around
Your lifegain units make racing a piece of cake against the aggressive decks.
Crownwatch Paladin is excellent against spell heavy decks, while
Rakano Outlaw and
Champion of Glory are great early game plays against creature heave decks, all of which synergize with
Unseen Commando and are great weapon carriers as well.
Market has versatile answers for every matchup, and of course
Deepforged Plate to quickly close out games.
Pristine Light is absolutely busted, make sure to plan ahead against time decks and grab this to end the game immediately
The new Decimate power cards, in combination with a couple
Shugo Standard and merchants ensure that you will pretty much never flood.
When I need to make gold quickly, this is always my go to. Very reliable, consistent, powerful, and fast games. What more could you ask for?
1 Crest because we want to avoid depleted power, but I don't mind drawing 1 as it is usually not too detrimental to fit it into your cuve
