I’ve been considering something. Possible resurrection of SaboVet?
This is a concept I came up with. (It’s missing 4 cards, I know, 3 spaces for Zen’rui and one I’m still thinking about). Help me make this deck less garbage and more fun.

I don’t see this archtype really viable sadly :sweat:

To make the deck better try to swap one mirage master for third thunderclap and one blindscorch for zephir.

If you really want to run mirage master put the…the (i don’t remember the name) teleporting dog (it gives you time to copy the enemy minion and/or build the thunderclap-wildfire steal engine), it has zephir and thunderclap sinergy too.

Another card that could see play in this deck is the artifact plumber (i mean imperial machinist), it’s crazy but you should swap out pax for him imo.

Lastly you could consider using zurael to rebuild board since you’ll focus on big late game threat, be it steal or play them.

repulsor beast + imperial mechanist would both be good additions as edward said, although I’m not sure what else you could use.

Maybe autrach’s gifts? It could get you hexblade, or thunderclap if you don’t have it in hand.

I’ll have to get the spirit to make the Zenrui before I can give the deck a try and tweak it.

I have a nice meme vet deck I’ve spent months perfecting. Strangely a magmar deck I haphazardly threw together got me to rank 5 when my vet deck is just stuck at 10. I don’t even have most of the magmar cards! FeelsBadMan

All i can say is it’s an aggro deck that actually requires thinking.
Currently Diamond 3 with it.
If you are tired of being slow and never having tempo then try it out. Let me know how it goes for you

The only things i would put to improve are blood of air for ranged removal,
L’kian instead of divine spark and maybe thunderclap

Gift is a bit out of the contest here imo, if your general is there to remove things put directly the hexblade or spinecleaver

Tried it out yet?

Two games with blood of air instead of dioltas 'cause i don’t have it

It’s not much but in those games divine was just replace fodder, autarch was ok but as i said can be better use directly the artifact you want to

(I noticed my typo on l’kian before btw)

I don’t have thunderclap myself but i think can be useful here as your general attacks more minions than the enemy general.

Hello everyone!

This seems like the topic I’m looking for - a general Vetruvian chat, where I can bump an introduction without actually making a topic for one.

I got invited by a friend a week or so ago, and we decided to give it a go. I’ll be glad to say I seem lucky having picked Vetruvian as main from tutorial, as their aesthetics pleased me at first glance (even though I’m not that much into egyptian lore otherwise). Never did any background search as such. :slight_smile: Lucky in that the Vet community seems like exactly tailor made for me - casual, jovial, supportive and adult like as a whole!

I started off by doing the daily quests mainly. I still haven’t reached level 10 with all factions, but I’ve done level 20 or so with Vetruvian. My collection includes the two starter deals (15 boosters and 2 sets of legendaries; got Spelljammer and Alcuin Loremaster, with which I’m pretty happy), a few Zhim’zhars (which dropped me two Paragons; I’ve been wrecking havoc with those ponies!) and a few extra gold-bought core boosters. At the moment I’m trying to build the gold for the most recent set, as it looks interesting (and getting whole play sets intriques me way more than hunting for legendaries!).

Reached Ladder level 13 today with a good streak of 7 winds out of 9 games (one of which ended badly due to a horrible calculation error, totally my bad, and the last one drew me endless amounts of waste - all of my starters at end, and my end game in opening hand even with all the draw and replaces). That basically gave me the enthusiasm to write an introduction. :slight_smile:

I haven’t looked at deck lists that much, but took a glance at some main pointers and tweaking around from there. I’m pretty happy with what I have atm before going into legendary hunts, which I’m not that enthusiastic about to be honest…

I’m not sure how you guys post your deck lists. It seems like there’s an app for that somewhere? I’d be glad to give you guys a peek at what I’ve come up with within a week, on my way to reach gold with an aim of <10 games a-day before April. With these kinds of streaks, not that far fetched it seems. As long as I don’t face too many of those Abyssians… :smiley: I’m having such a hard time with them and their seemingly broken legendaries (of course they’re not though)!

Coming in from casual Android: Netrunner and competitive Vampire: the eternal Struggle, I’ve been having casual amounts of fun with Duelyst this far. :slight_smile: Let’s see how far it goes.

Welcome to the Imperium! We’ve fallen on hard times recently but it seems to have picked up a bit post-expansion.

That’s a good attitude to have, keep that and you will go places. The forums appreciate someone with a balanced mindset and willing to learn more than a whiner.[quote=ā€œKrause, post:289, topic:7028ā€]

Here’s the link we use, make the deck, save it to your computer in horizontal format and you can upload it to the forums.

Welcome to the Imperium! HAVE A GOOD TIME.

Thank you very much, @phayze ! :slight_smile:

This is what I have at the moment:

i.imgur.com/kDZGbb6.png

I did build most of the Obelysks from spirit (thankfully I was lucky to get a prismatic Keeper of the Vale for tons of dust - comparable to the sands in desert!). Dunecasters and Sand Traps were trivial to craft from there. As mentioned, I was lucky to draw Paragons from some early boosters as I started.

I recently switched Shrouds to Repulsors, and they’ve been doing some pretty work this far. They’re better at combating big beasts and provoke, even though they can’t dispel powerful effects from enemy legendaries.

Primus Shields and Tethermancers are battling for the Provoke slots at the moment. Provoke has fallen out of favor as I’ve moved further in the ladder though, so we’ll have to see if they’ll hold their place in later forms.

As said, Abyssians are proving really troublesome with their myriad ways of dealing with Obelysks (that deamon lasso and wraithling trade as only some examples), but Sand Traps and that singleton Decay are proving good against their big monsters (the former a great opening deterrent in any match up). I had to include Blistering Skorn just for Wraithlings, and that crocodile egg rain (even though Star’s Fury works against eggs well too).

Double Ankhs have been surprisingly useful as well. They’ve given me a few surprise kills with the singleton Staff. Thanks, Y’kir! I owe you one!

Tethermancer is still trying to find it’s place (or leaving the slot for something else), but I’d loathe to leave all my provoke out just yet.

Let’s see if this’ll get me to gold in a week’s time! Seems highly possible!

Hey! :slight_smile: Welcome to the community! Try something like this, it’s a budget version of the full midrange Obelisk deck. It has most of the cards you own and some rares and commons you should get. This is just a general outline, feel free to experiment and swap stuff around with it.

Some explanations starting with the cards I added.

Falcius- This should be your number one priority. It’s one of the best common cards in the game, it’s a 3/3 for 3 that gives your general invulnerability for your turn and 2 attack. It’s a huge tempo tool and will make the early game a lot easier.

Pax- Pax is a 2 mana 2/1 rare battlepet, it’s a card with its own AI. It’ll always attack the closet minion to it, prioritizing cardinal directions over diagonals. Most battlepets aren’t that good, but Pax has dying wish summon 2 Iron Dervishes which make it an incredible value play. It’s incredibly good in any deck that wants to use dervishes.

Starfire Scarab- 5 mana 4/6 common with blast. It’s just a strong value play that pressures your opponent.

Dancing Blades- Probably the best budget minion in the game. 5 mana 4/6 common that deals 3 damage to any minion in front of it. Great tempo card for budget decks.

Cards that I recommend cutting:

Pyromancer- I’ve used Pyro a lot in the past and it’s just too inconsistent for me. It only shines in the early stages of the game with a buff but besides that it’s fairly lackluster. It does to everything. It has very little impact outside of the opening stages of the game. Pax is far more consistent and equally powerful play, I recommend swapping Pyro for it.

Windstorm- I don’t think Windstorm is as bad a s most people think it is. But it has a weird anti synergy with obelisks by making sure your wind dervishes can’t suicide themselves into enemies which can screw over positioning and makes Star’s Fury really awkward. It’s up to you, but pretty much all Obelisk decks choose to omit windstorm for that reason.

Tethermancer- It’s slow and very understatted. It’s quite frankly a rather weak card. If you really need a 4 cost dispel consider Lightbender(4 mana 3/3 rare that dispels everything around it.)

Moving on:

If you want to stick with Vet here are some more expensive cards I recommend you pick up or consider at some times. I am going to warn you that the recent set focuses on two previously borderline unplayed archetypes, Golems and Arcanysts. We’re not exactly sure how these decks will hold up in the future. However some of them look very solid including the Vetruvian Golem playset. If you get Sirocco and Dreamshaper from the Ancient Bond packs you can put together a fairly strong Vet Golem deck.

Epics:
-Rasha’s Curse(2 mana destroy an enemy artifact and summon a wind dervish near the enemy general. Good reach card and artifact destruction. Is a three or two of in most obelisk decks.)

  • Allomancer(4 mana 4/3 with dying wish summon a random obelisk. Very good for obelisk decks but it’s up you whether you want to run it over other 4 drops. It’s something to test and consider.)

-Star’s Fury (You have 1 already but some obelisk decks like to run 2, it’s not necessary but something you might want to consider.)

Legendaries:
-Aymara Healer (6 mana 5/5 with dying wish heal your general for 5 deal 5 to the enemy general. Good vet legendary you can stick in any deck.)

-Grandmaster Nosh- Rak (7 mana 4/7 with Flying and Blast as well as everything you have deals double damage to the enemy general. An excellent finisher you can toss in any board focused Vet deck. The problem is that it’s from RoB packs which make it tricky to get. Consider it in the future once you have some core cards.)

-Nimbus ( 5 man 3/8 whenever it takes damage summons a Soulburn Obelisk. A Soulburn Obelisk is a 0/4 obelisk that destroys any minion that damages it. Very snowbally but slow minion. It’s great for certain matchups but too slow for some. It’s a very meta dependent card, it’s good but not too important.)
