10/02/18 ~ Put some serious time and thought into the deck today and changed it quite a lot, in my opinion for the better.
The idea was to combine Statuary Maiden with Mind Link, because:
- Mind Link effectively doubles Maidens Cudgel output, something playing a second Maiden won't do.
- Mind Link turning some answers into Units lets cut down on Units to play more answers.
- Enemy Frogs being an easy Cudgel source (i.e Hailstorm).
- Own Frogs (/Pigs) turning into actual threats easily with Cudgels.
Having so much fun with this it made Maiden my favourite card in the game :)
(Picking up the gorgeous premium version of her the other day helped too. Actually was the reason to brew this up in the first place.)
Have fun,
Dish
Edit:
I think I'll leave the list as is for now, the recent changes did the deck good and I want to get a decent sample size of games in before tinkering with it any more.
- The Bandit Queen adds the potential for an alpha strike or at least an attack they can't recover from and generating you value, thanks to Quickdraw going so well with huge deadly Units (+Overwhelm in Champion of Chaos case) and/or a large Unit count on your side due to all those Frogs and others generated by Mind Link.
- Unstable Form being a cheap and flexible tool to pop Units Aegises, turn something your current removal can't handle into something it can, transform their Frogs before Hailstorm, so you get some extra Units from your Mind Link, or giving one of the two copies to a Strategize, etc.
- Something I'd like to try as maybe a one of would be Feln Cauldron, if I had it. Would be a way to get rid of cards that are dead in the matchup, as well as maybe Frogs, Cudgels and excess power, to generate maybe something more useful, especially against more controlly opponents that render many of your cards borderline useless and who might not be able to handle whatever spells you won in the Cauldron Lottery. Also a way to last longer against aggro while digging for your Hailstorms and such. If someone gives that a shot, I'd be happy to hear your experiences, so I can make my mind if I craft a copy.
Edit2: Okay, really the last one, couldn't help myself. Combined my original list with the last one for a streamlined, more focused version, because the deck started to become inconsistent and more often than I liked lagging a turn behind of where it should be, where the first version worked consistent like a clockwork and on point. That's true again now, while still keeping the best improvements. This one I'm happy with again.
And extra comments deleted...... Internet derped
Edit: Actually took some more time with the deck today and did some serious changes to it.
I have a question - you consider it a fun deck or its also viable on the ladder now ?
