Previously on Avatar,

“Hi guys. I don’t believe it. I made it. I made it to diamond. I feel like it still has more potential tho. Suggestions Appreciated.”

EDIT(tho tbh I just rewrote 90% of this whole thing):
Got to S-Rank with this deck.

These are trying times for Swarm Decks. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. The trick is to play their game: Hybrid it with a control suite.

Sure, they have rebuke. But you have 2 giant EMPs and 4-5 swarms to drop.
4-5 = -1
4>3
5>3
Quick Vaaths

Actual Analysis to come. It’s fekin 3am here, gonna go back to getting a life and not trying so hard at this game for now. Peace.

Uhhhhh don’t play Bloodshard Golem

Pax is out of favor and you probably want a third Falcius as well

Edit: jeez how did I forget Blood of Air but more importantly how did YOU forget BoA that card is too good not to run

[galaxydueler]

might wanna add blood of air anyway, too good to pass up

[becquerel]

Wow. You were just at gold 9 though… Congrats!

[cloudfrog]

bloodshard is nice though! It’s like falcius, though less immediate damage but builds to sirrocco swarm, synergizes with metallurgist, and survives plasma storm
mostly survives plasma storm… plasma storm

edit: BoA feels bad for tempo though KP can do more than what a wind shroud from BOA can, and sandswirl is better for tempo. I’ll still try it tho. Probably swap out Hailstone

[gsvalhalla]

Nice going, you gonna go for S-Rank before season ends? Or mess around with new decks while at rank 5?

[cloudfrog]

I don’t think I can xD tbh i only got pretty far because i stopped running into sinpathy and the scary mech decks. i guess I’ll just do my daily quests from now on until I have enough for a new deck

[whyb0t]

Bloodshard doesn’t deal enough damage, it hits once and gets pinged. You dodge Plasma by not overcommitting. Sandswirl is great but they often just play it back in your face and BoA is some of the best removal in the game, tempo negative or not.

You can do whatever you want, but you ask for advice you get advice

[cloudfrog]

I only got this far because I experimented with the advice I got from the Shidai Victims threads aka removing the razorcrag meme portions of the deck xD I’m pretty hesitant right now, but it’s mostly force of habit and cause I haven’t seen the good BOA can do just yet.

it’s like i’m heavy smoker asking for help and when I get “don’t smoke”, I’m like “…eeeh”.
alternatively, it’s like someone tells me “try organic” and i’m like “…eeeeh”

Congrats on diamond

[cloudfrog]

Thanks! I think this is as far as I’ll try climbing for now xD I just saw the melee and the finality+rebuke combo just traumatized me.

[cloudfrog]

oh yeah, I forgot to ask: what’s a good 2 drop replacement for pax? I quite like pax but tbh I don’t like the fight against thunderhorns to be harder than it already is xD

[alplod]

Congrats!

But maybe gholie in place of bloodshard?

And primus as a 2-drop

[cloudfrog]

RIGHT. I missed ghoulie! I think it’s because I had “golems” on the searchbar when I built this deck lol.
primus sounds good too. I’ll give those a try!

[nwardezir]

I made it to diamond.

Welcome to my home, you have beers in the fridge, make yourself comfy.
Just join me on the front deck and grab a rocking chair, there is a nice view of all these players running towards S

[reignzu]

Congrats :).
Btw this deck definitely needs Blood of air.

[humancalc]

Blood of air is good because it is unconditional.
The extra wind dervish can also potentially kill another thing or just more face damage.

Kinematic Projection needs a board and a minion with high enough attack.
Sandswirl Reader has limited reach. Problems with far minions and possibly when surrounded or minion blocked.

[galaxydueler]

Blood of Air is tempo good because you can kill an opponent’s minion with the wind dervish, or if nothing else do 2 face damage

How come no one runs ferallu in golem decks nowadays?

[cloudfrog]

I don’t think anyone runs golems nowadays in the first place xD Feralu is one of the few cards I wasn’t able to get when Ancient was 300g so I never considered the card.
