I've taken out Backlash, Feeding Time and Bad News for a split of Torch, Permafrost and Annihilate. Still toying with exact numbers but right now I'm playing 4/3/2 respectively. The early interaction has greatly helped me keep my opponent's board in check.
Thoughts? Am I crazy? I might be trying this, but I am unsure.
-What do you usually mulligan for? I try to get either Fanatic or Piercing Grief in my starting hand.
-What do you do when you can't get off to a good start?
-What do you prioritize for Mirror Image? I've had some success with it in the late game on Gunsmith and Herald. Do you use it early game in any situations?
For now I've added 2 permafrost to the deck to help a little with rough early games.
It's a super complicated deck to use, just because of all the potential combos that are possible (but that's what makes it fun, too!). I legit hadn't even thought about the Bad News combo with Herald, but that sounds hella dope (have the cards in my deck, just a bit new to the game).
Gonna keep working on this! Thanks for the build, man.
There is nothing more fun that thinking up some awesome combo from this deck in the heat of the moment!
From a few days ago, looking this combo, I remembered the omen past cards and began to think wich cards maybe could support this deck, but suddenly I saw Bad News. Today finally I decided play this new combo, keeping the old too, and I was surprised for less pieces of combo (only cabal + west + Bad News) It's "similar" to UR Twin in Magic.
Plz, did someone try it too?
What do I want to have in the opening hand ?
Any strategies for the first few rounds ?
Thanks !
I know the deck is great but I still fall with it in the early game.
I'll keep testing it to see what works best for me.
Haunting Scream is nearly self explanatory. Basically anything Scream-able, is worth Screaming, conditionally. Direwood Beastcaller and Gorgon Fanatic are both prime choices, either advancing your board state with beefy creatures (Caller) or digging into more gas while helping keep you alive (Fanatic). The other option of Cabal Spymaster is also possibly viable, but that would be to complete the set of Cabal Spymaster + Calderan Gunsmith + West-Wind Herald, which assuming you have a Mirror Image in the void will go infinite, Re-casting Mirror on Gunsmith, who allows Herald to ping and Infiltrate to cast Mirror, all thanks to Spymaster. A bit fidgety, but the components can be assembled from hand and void, plus it's an instant win from any board position so, it works. Scream also has an off chance to hit Herald and Gunsmith if an earlier Quarry reduced their price from 5 to 4, but that's not something to plan around.
As for Mirror, well it's part of the combo as stated. First casts on Herald, or your most valuable creature at the time. Mind you, Scream + Mirror on the same turn enables two copies of a Flying & Charge creature of your choice, one of which won't die to Scream's end of turn stipulation. Which could net you four 5/5 Beast in case you had 5 power and a single Beastcaller in grave. It's also worth noting that Mirror needs to be in the grave for the combo to start rolling, however you can initiate the Heralds infiltration with Mirror on Gunsmith, but that is less likely than having it in the grave when the combo starts. Simply because you'd either need 8 power to cast Gunsmith + Mirror at once, or vulnerable combo pieces would have to survive a turn of an opponent just looking at them, which is unlikely assuming they have any power to stop it.
I can't really say how the deck works overall though. Although I will say that RNG Eternal doesn't even list the deck on their tiered list at all. Nor have I seen it in any of the Tournament Decks listings here on Warcry. As for Ladder? You can get by with a lot on ladder ;)
