More Vanar decks! Intensify and Sleetdasher!

[atrestia]

I’m back with more Vanar decks now featuring some of my favorite minions, Riftwalker, Protosensor and Sleetdasher.
Both are a little memey but they can easily compete at S-Rank.
Without further ado lets get to the deck lists.

First one is my favorite because of the combo potential but the second one is definitely refreshing to play.
As always any recommendations/advice is appreciated. Try them them out and let me know what you think guys!
They are both pretty straight forward to play but I’ll post a guide for each on duelspot later.

Cheap Vanar decks

Overdrive is a pretty neat card. Sleet/Courage is super fun but is largely a meme and IMO is better suited for Kara.

I never had much luck with Intensify Vanar, but more power to you if you can make it work. Overdrive has largely been overtaken by the C-potential version of the deck, but this one still has its own appeal.

You inspired me to update my old Wailing Overdrive list, so now we have something to compare with:

Wallodrive: Wailing Overdrive/Sentinels: Highly Competitive

Wailing overdrive is a very neat card, although it can be pretty tough to use, but this deck has all the tools to really make it work out. Gravity Well and Protosensors airdrop are really annoying early game globe deny tools that sets you right up for overdrive or snowchaser infiltrate plays. Freeblade is not used much, despite having such a good body, so he usually comes as quite a surprise that messes up what your opponent was doing, but more importantly usually sets up overdrive. Freeblade also lets you play mind games with your other sentinel, the extremely powerful Moonlit Baslysk.

It usually plays pretty aggressively as the various late game decks running around these days are pretty scary, but it can kick into slowburn mode for the long haul with the crypto/mentor package while the Snowchaser/Cryogensis combo maintains your card advantage really well despite its low curve.

Malicious Wisp is a real powerhouse and if you transform it with Mountain, or on rare occasions bounce it with hailstone, the effect becomes permanent. More often then not though you do not really plan on keeping this wisp long term and use its aggressively. You tend to want to place it safely, but not so far away it can not get back into the action. Mountain also pairs really well with Gwell, Chaser, and proto.

Throw in a few other staples and you have a surprisingly effective deck, although it is very position focused, takes a lot of practice to play it well, and its easy to run out of steam if you do not manage your resources carefully.

You also seem to be drawing closer and closer to another one of the top tier Vanar Decks which is proper tempo faie. (The others being various Winters Wake set ups, Midrange Faie Walls without wake, and aggro.) There are quite a few different ways to build it, but here is the one I recently put together:

Tempo Faie: S rank.

Tempo is the name of the game sporting cards that clear the field while developing the board and maintaining your hand at the same time, mixed with faies inevitable BBs wincon.

The Crypto/Mentor package lets you machinegun people down with faie and or it provides card advantage. Cloudcaller is very strong and makes the bloodsurge package even stronger. Cloudcallers waterball does four damage to an enemy minion so its a great tempo tool, and it can also get duplicated by mentor or refreshed by crypto if you have the mana for it.

Usually I cram some healing into lists like these, but instead I opted for crystal wisp and moonlit baslysk to outspeed aggro and or punish spell based lists/burn. Now if I had a side deck available I would definitely put the healing in there still, but I feel the core package serves better versus a wider variety of things.

Jammer, Mentor, and a medium curve cover your card advantage needs, and you can choose between going aggressive or playing the long game with slow burn. Throw in a handful of staples/anti meta tech/and strong standalones and you have a really strong deck prepared for just about anything.
