Information

FINALLY!... since the spoiler of Tidal Forces I said to myself I would find a shell and I think I finally did. While Rost, the Walking Glacier will win you most games, I’ve found that the games in which the player scooped, were the games where Tidal forces resolved

One thing I’ve found which is key to the deck would be the main board Backlash. To be able to stop relic hate or removal for Rost, or even card advantage for opponent is big to negate

Main board Resurface has been MVP multiple times, as you get what you need, to push the necessary damage.

In case of any Royal Decree hits, there is an alternate win con, in the Prodigious Sorcery + Static Bolt combo.

All in all this deck has been a lot of fun.. I have played 20 games and lost just 4, giving the deck +/- 80% win rate in my book.

I’d love to hear feedback, ideas for changes, or criticism. Thoughts and comments appreciated!

Enjoy!

Hey,
Thanks for the nice deck idea :) I've made a bunch of modifications, here is my list:

4 Permafrost (Set1 #193)
2 Backlash (Set1 #200)
2 Eilyn's Favor (Set0 #24)
4 Ice Bolt (Set6 #151)
4 Lightning Strike (Set1 #197)
4 Static Bolt (Set1 #194)
4 Strategize (Set3 #165)
4 Hailstorm (Set1003 #11)
4 Jennev Merchant (Set4 #169)
4 Wisdom of the Elders (Set1 #218)
2 Blitrok, Linrei's Listener (Set7 #107)
2 Honor of Claws (Set1005 #15)
3 Tidal Forces (Set7 #112)
2 Jotun Hurler (Set1 #227)
1 Prodigious Sorcery (Set7 #115)
4 Rost, the Walking Glacier (Set6 #175)
10 Primal Sigil (Set1 #187)
4 Clan Standard (Set4 #145)
4 Cobalt Waystone (Set3 #151)
3 Emblem of Linrei (Set7 #91)
4 Seal of Devotion (Set6 #236)
--------------MARKET---------------
1 Royal Decree (Set6 #154)
1 Polymorph (Set1 #211)
1 Blitrok, Linrei's Listener (Set7 #107)
1 Sodi, Wingbreaker (Set1006 #16)
1 Scourge of Frosthome (Set1 #248)

Blitrok is awesome, the seal of devotion is just free value. I tried resurface and really didn't like it, it costs too much. I've replaced second sight by real card advantage, wisdom of the elders in particular is an auto-include. I've toned down the number of dead cards like backlash and prodigious sorcery. I'm not sure about sodi in the market yet, maybe the prodigious sorcery could go there. The Scourge in the market is a nice way to win the long game. Jotun hurlers are great for early game interaction and free value with the merchant. I'm still tweaking the numbers here and there and looking for improvements. The sad thing is that Tidal forces itself doesn't seem that great, but I'm still unsure about that.

Hey man! I love the idea! Took your base list and added some more card advantage.
Also playing a couple Blitrok because I didn't wanna craft the 4th rost just yet and I love her.

This is where I ended up

4 Hailstorm (Set1003 #11)
4 Jennev Merchant (Set4 #169)
4 Wisdom of the Elders (Set1 #218)
2 Blitrok, Linrei's Listener (Set7 #107)
2 Honor of Claws (Set1005 #15)
4 Tidal Forces (Set7 #112)

I'm happy to give you feedback if you're interested, if not, thanks for the inspiration :)

Hey! Nice to see expansion on the idea.. I’d love to hear the outcome, as I thought about crafting more Blitrok (although the shadow invoke is awesome)... Rost is just backbreaker unless silenced.. but you have 3, so your version looks really good... I also see you don’t play resurface in main.. how does it fare only grabbing from market? Also, is Sodi a good grab?

Love the idea and props for making a mono-faction deck. I'm always tempted to blame pilot error by default, but boy did I have no luck with this deck. Think I went something like 1-10. Just not sure how it wins against most competitive decks. Doesn't seem to have the level of "control" needed to make the shell function. I got rushed by aggro, pummeled by relic based strats, and purely annihilated by any deck running any kind of void hate. One change I made that seemed to help a little (but not enough to keep my running the deck) was to swap out Staff of Stories for a Royal Decree. Hope others have better luck, thanks for posting!

Wow I can not believe it performed like that. Things I keep in mind, always have a hand with at least 3 hands and a bolt or strike. I’ve kept that thought and haven’t been steered wrong. I’m not sure how you piloted, but I am sure there were mis plays. It took me about 5 games to get the rhythm of the deck down and what to keep, when to play, etc. I’ll do some more testing and see. Just played 4 games after reading this and lost just 1, (God hand for Rakano aggro), so maybe I am too low a level? Currently D2 🤔

What is your strategy with this deck? I'm running into a similar issue getting it going. What do you mean have a hand with at least 3 hands?
RennyMoses Eternal Version: 1.50.6
Honestly, I forgot lol... 3 lands in hand to ensure you have the clock to draw your 4th power and play Tidal Waves... 3 lands and removal I believe was behind the thought 😅
