  • I had forgotten to credit Kogoga for the Battle Pet list: see here for details.

  • A little update: I’ve seen a few people playing decks like this on the ladder, particularly Matsouka. They play some cards I didn’t get around to mentioning above but which seem fun, like Z0r, Ghost Lynx, Bloodsworn Gambler, and Mindwarper.

    Although the keyword is found on both minions and spells, the focus here is on minions, as you get access to two (one in-faction and Riftwalker).

    Many cards restrict opponents from performing certain actions, or tax them for doing so. Putting lots of these together leads to controlling decks that choke your opponent out of resources and grind their […]

  • Concept
    Inspired by a deck someone put up on one of Boronian’s streams a while back; unfortunately, I forget the name of the poster.

    The idea is simple: by running Aerial Rift, you can totally break the symmetry […]

    Scarzig is so fragile. In order to have any hope of flipping him, you need to play him as safely as possible, and then rely on some buff effect and/or repositioning in order to allow him to actually kill […]

    Tribal decks have always been near and dear to my heart, and Mechs are my favorite Neutral tribe. Ever since MECHAZ0R was nerfed in the Immortal Vanguard expansion, these decks haven’t been the most […]

    Many cards in Duelyst have effects which are at least partially random, but there’s a big range in “how random” each is. For something like Letigress or Red Synja, the randomness is controllable to the […]

    A silly OTK: since Ion does double damage to generals, if you can place one properly, stack lots of buffs on it, and then activate it with Sol, it’s immediately lethal. See here for the original thread by […]

    “My Side” Faie. Pull enemies into position with Dredger, Wanderlust, and Lodestar, then lock them down forever with recurring Avalanches.

    A deck that shores up Magmar’s traditional weakness to artifacts by running a highly unusual removal suite. See Reddit post here.

    A control deck with the ultimate win condition. See MrMana’s original thread here.

    Neurolink is a card that sees fring play in N.O.S.E. decks: when combined with a Flying minion (usually Dragonlark or Wind Striker), it lets you teleport your general to the opponent’s starting column for […]

    Koan is one of the oldest memes. The deck was bad back in the day and even worse now: multiple free Gore Horns does not a real win condition make. But it’s hilarious if you can pull it off.

    The deck needs […]

  • Concept
    The lower-rarity Infiltrate minions are all actually decent for their costs, as long as the Infiltrate condition is met. In this deck, we leverage this to try to stay in control of the board and in the […]

    In Unearthed Prophecy, two new cards were introduced in Magmar: Catalyst Quillbeast and Blood Rage. Almost immediately, these formed the basis for a new combo deck, built around maximizing the buff from […]

    Sajj has always been the black sheep of Vetruvian, but the faction was left in such a good state at the end of things that even she can have her opportunity to shine –  just play all of the generally good […]

    One of Shidai’s signature archetypes is Mantra Burn, a deck that aims to control the board with damage spells while setting up for a turn in which it can cast a lot of cheap spells into a lethal Firestorm […]

  • Concept
    Zir’an is an interesting general – while one might naively expect that her healing BBS makes her suited for a grindy midrange deck, her best decks are all lower-to-the-ground and built around Lyonar’s […]

  • Concept
    Recently I did an overview of the Abyssian Trial archetype. It’s a pretty flexible deck, with many different ways it can be customized. However, one thing that was missing was a budget build, as has been […]
