New Player Guide Pauper Decks Budget Decks Mid Budget Decks Description Primal tempo deck with a Time splash. Synergy of the
Flying units. Due to the low on curve concentration of units, we can scale
Wild Cloudsnake to some reasonable stats.
Game Plan:
Build your board with flying units first 2-3 turns, then protect them with
Obstructive Flicker and
Sodi's Choice. Opponents are not ready for a deck that heavy loaded with Negates. Main negate targets are mass removal, such as
Shen-Ra Speaks,
Nothing Remains,
Hailstorm,
Trials and Tribulations,
Saloon Massacre e.t.c.
Cards & Reasoning:
-
Cyber Skimmer: good candidate for turn 1 play. Draw cards with it any time you can.
-
Pteriax Mount: ok'ish stats, but don't lock your early turns by Contracting it turn 1. Keep till turn 3-4, coz you can have better targets to buff with it. Unfortunately it doesn't scale
Wild Cloudsnake.
-
Snowstorm Druid: good candidate for turn 1 play. Face
Aegis as well as a stun trigger with
Sodi's Choice or
Majestic Skies + Spell.
-
Wild Cloudsnake: our "big" unit, scales great with all our flying units.
-
Yeti Gryffyn Rider: due to underwhelming stats we have this as a filler, can land some lethal damage thou, but needs to stick to the board to do so. If you have
Stormtamer's Mount it will be much better fit instead.
-
Windscreamer: our "lord" for flying units, we have multiple ways to trigger it's
Frenzy ability.
-
Windshaper: second "lord" for flying units, should be buffed with
Windscreamer if possible. If you have
Aeva, Eilyn's Elite it will be good replacement, you can trigger
Tribute with
Cyber Skimmer or
Precision Plunge.
-
Precision Plunge: our big threat removal.
-
Trick Throw: good early removal as well as a frenzy trigger.
-
Obstructive Flicker: mainly for unit protection from mass removal, but can be used as a mass removal vs go-wide decks.
-
Sodi's Choice: mainly used as a protection form removal, but also can be used to land down blockers and/or to Stun units with
Snowstorm Druid trigger.
-
Sleight of Hand: draw for the deck, frenzy enabler for
Windscreamer.
-
Majestic Skies: cheap wide buff as well as added value in scope of tutor.

Where Journey Guide is a one cost 0/3 that reduce cost of units. I would play in some kind of Clockroach build, but in this deck there are not that much to reduce in cost, 4 power is the top cost you will pay for card. So it's impact is less valuable than drawing a unit.
Also you are loosing Scaletender + Meditation value, coz playing Meditation on Journey Guide provides less value.
And main reason to evade all together one drops.
But do what works for you.
Your comments for each of your budget decks are excellent. As a new player, it helps to know how to use the cards and what the game plan is. I plan on trying out all of your budget decks to see which deck types I like and to use your gameplay notes to learn more about how to play Eternal well.
Any upgrade in this deck?
This is basically budget version of a Clockroach deck.
The more I play it the more I love it. Over 50% win rate (probably closer to 60%) and I've been drinking.
