• The Crown •

You thought CrownRoaches had good enough lategame? Let's break that shit.

••• I'm Aegis. My favorite part of Eternal is pushing deck limits and creative deck building. I tend to focus on 150 card decks, most of which are 5 faction, just because it's fun. I don't play ranked often and mainly test my decks in Gauntlet masters but I always try to build as competitively as possible.•••

CrownRoaches has always been one of my favorite decks and I've seen a multitude of different lists. But there comes one problem, your main minion is Clockroach and to a lesser extent, sometimes Worldpyre Phoenix. Your goal is to buff them to hell and back with near infinite value. So what does this deck do differently?

Hero of the People and Replicator Engine are some of my hand picked inclusions. I've always played CrownRoaches with Piercing Grief as a form of value and life gain. So with all these keywords flying left and right, Hero of the People is an absolute powerhouse. The reason Replicator Engine exists is to be ridiculous. It thins your deck, draws a minion, and sometimes you hit destiny / bond chains summoning 8/4 worth of stats for 3 power.

You're probably wondering why all the combo cards are hovering at 2 copies. Its because with the mini-goal of the deck being creating a super Hero, you want lots of minions with keywords. Not saying Roaches aren't sufficient but with 150 cards consistancy is out the window :P In place of combo pieces are TONS of draw cards to really help you filter to what you need.

With my recent deck edit I've made the crown combo work with even more: the Black Market. Having a Crown of Possibilities active you can keep swapping merchants, hopefully hitting an echo and really going off. Display of Ambition is in the Black Market rather then the main deck due to itonly really being a bonkers card after Crown has taken off.

The whole revenge package with Crownwatch Press-Gang and Tock Tick create a suprisingly good stall tatic. I was so pleased when I drew Crownwatch Press-Gang that I bumped it to 4. With your other revenge units like Piercing Grief and Stonepowder Alchemist you have tons of units bouncing around for your Hero of the People.

This deck is nothing but ridiculous fun and if you've read this far, great! I'd love to hear thoughts on my inclusions and what, if anything, could be better. The list feels tight as is but maybe theres some unit I'm totally forgetting. Hope you enjoy as much as I do!
