Hey everyone, this is my first time posting on Warcry, with a variation of the deck I took to the ECQ bracket in April. Hope you enjoy it!
A few starters' tips:
- Try to drop your
Calderan Cradle as early as possible. Often this is best to prioritize on turn 3 over removing your opponent's units even if you have removal in hand.
- As a general rule, it's best to cast your fast spells on your opponent's turn. This is especially true against players you suspect are running
Korovyat Palace. Against Palace decks, bait your opponent into casting
Withstand on their unit, then remove the unit with an
Equivocate,
Torch, or
Display of Instinct before the buff resolves.
- Look for opportunities to summon
Dragons from
Calderan Cradle as your opponent's units are attacking so you can use them as blockers. Otherwise, you should aim to summon the dragons at the end of the turn only after your opponent has hit "end turn". For instance, it's often worth casting a
Torch to hit your opponent's face (at the end of their turn) if that will let you duplicate a
Dragon with
Howling Peak's
Mirror Image the following turn.
- Be aware of the excellent synergy between
Second Sight and
Find the Way/
Jotun Hurler to get more spells to use as
Calderan Cradle fodder.
Second Sight can also be used on the
Bore from your market after casting it to avoid having to discard it at the end of the turn (this is particularly relevant against decks that run multiple copies of
Rat Cage).
- Unless you really need Fire Mana, use
Find the Way to only pull
Primal Sigils, as you have a limited amount of
Fire Sigils that can be drawn by the
Kaleb's Favor from
Howling Peak.
- While the sentinels from
Moment of Creation have the potential to get huge in this deck (I once played them at 32/32), you often don't need the card to win the game. It's also often not a good idea to drop this card without having a
Kaleb's Choice or
Display of Instinct in hand and open mana to respond to your opponent's next turn. Think of it as an extra push that may or may not be needed. If you're facing a lot of aggro, this card can just as easily be swapped out for removal options like
Purify.
Changes:
I've taken out the
Scorpion Wasps to add an extra
Second Sight and
Display of Instinct. I've also added a
Moment of Creation in the market in place of Brilliant Idea. The deck's tactic against Hooru Control has changed slightly, but the current list is still very favored. Basically, you want to get to a position where you can cast
Moment of Creation and be able to negate the
Harsh Rule that your opponent will cast the following turn.
Another option is to add an additional
Kaleb's Choice if you are facing lots of the
Diogo Málaga, Elonze +
Stonescar Excavator combo deck. Generally this deck is very favored against that one as is (if you don't forget that
Celestial Omen is a fast spell as I did in the Tuesday Night Eternal Tournament this week ;p).
Potential inclusions from Dark Frontier include
Eclipse Dragon,
Ice Bolt,
Glimpse the Possibilities, and an Incendiary Stalagmite in the market.
