I know, I know.
Sling of the Chi is not good in the current meta. It seems that the good people at Direwolf immediately recognized Sling could potentially be too powerful, and so they made sure players had a lot of ways to deal with it. In addition to allowing for an abundance of relic hate, they've left Justice Aegis-buff strategies (i.e. various Kira-based decks) untouched and even introduced a hard counter in the form of
Dichro's Ruin.
However, if you insist on playing Sling (because it's such a fun and powerful strategy), here's a new build for you:
- Time is the main color/Faction, as we want to get the most out of our powerful 4-cost and 5-cost units, all of which have at least 6 Attack and 6 Heath. Hence, even when we don't have a target to deal 6 damage to, we can still draw at the end of the turn with the secondary Sling effect.
- Our secondary color/Faction is Primal, which helps us make
Cobalt Waystone and
Helio, the Skywinder more reliable. Once you have 2 Fire and 4 Time Influence, you go for Primal Influence.
