Budget Combrei Deck (/w Video Deck Tech & Explanation)

Hey there!

This time around I present you a tempo-midrange approach to the combrei faction, on a budget.
As usual, we only run commons and uncommons to make it easily achievable for newer players.

I provide a video guide on youtube aswell going over the cards, why we picked them in the first place, talk about the gameplan as well as showing potential upgrades at the end.
Those upgrades will also be shown here with some words on when to transition from a budget to the actual midrange combrei deck, or also big combrei.

Got any information for me, like what im doing or just want to drop a comment?
This is a work in progress! If you have any cool ideas, hit us up in the comments, im glad to incorporate your ideas aswell.

Potential upgrades

Sandstorm Titan the man, the legend himself. Feel free to slot him in the moment you open him. If you haven't crafted SST yet, consider to do so in the near future. His stats are unbeaten for his manacost and he is a solid addition to every single deck that runs Combrei colours or Time.

Sword of Unity disgustingly good card that gives you Stand Together on a stick. The lifesteal on top, especially on bigger units is extremly swingy and can turn games back into your favour once again.

Worldbearer Behemoth solid craft with a decent statline, nice ramping effect that needs to get answered early rather than late. Can win games on its own when unchecked and has a reasonably fast clock.

Thundering Kerasaur fun card in any time deck that could provide 'defense' against enemy spells by drawing you more cards. Has seen less play than at the start of the Fall of Argenport Meta, but is still a force to be reckoned with.

Mystic Ascendant provides card draw while also being needed to be answered by your opponent. Usually a one off in the market, the greedier your build your deck the more you can put into your main deck. Definitely try it out and see if you like the synergy it provides together with Worldbearer Behemoth.

A New Tomorrow is a weird card that doesnt look like it does much, but what it actually does is thin your deck of most of the power that you run. After a new tomorrow, you will most likely only draw gas and draw all your units. Could be interesting in the market!

Lumen Reclaimer can make you shuffle your deck, especially strong after the game goes for quite some time and you already used A New Tomorrow. Gas refill for your deck!

Alhed, Mount Breaker provokes your opponent to immediately answer them. If you ever draw a unit which double their attack and health it has already paid off putting Alhed in your deck. Definitely a strong pick!

Interesting rares to upgrade the list

Try to cut units on the same powercost when trying to upgrade the deck so that our gameplan doesnt change too quickly or in a weird way that we didnt anticipate.
You can also consider cutting things that do the same job but costs more, e.g. Valkyrie Enforcer for Archive Curator

- Valkyrie Enforcer
- Sheriff Marley
- Crownwatch Press-Gang
- Hammer of Might
- Auralian Merchant
- Copperhall Elite
- Auric Runehammer

- Alessi, Combrei Archmage consider checking out other Alessi Decklists to get a decent idea on how to build and pilot an Alessi Deck yourself. It has gotten nerfed over the last couple of weeks, but its still decent and has interesting ways to pull off wins.

Stand Together provides you with aegis protection on your units aswell as potentially blowing out your opponent in case you leave the power up in the enemy turn. Can swing games and win games on its own, especially if you have a decent board state that you can protect with it. Imaging an opponent using Harsh Rule, his only option to ruin your plan, while you have Stand Together as a fast spell ready to seal the deal for you. Devastating. The same applies for Sword of Unity, but has to be played more proactively instead of reactively.
