Trials of Mythron - Mech Emporium and Compendium

[cookedpoo]

Trials of Mythron may the last expansion Duelyst will get, so I feel its appropriate to create a thread that will hold all the decks of the wonderful tribe of the Mechs.

DISCLAIMER: Many mech decks are semi or full memes, craft at your own risk!

[Budget] Lyonar Mirror Mechs

wxPLPHo.png830×475 75 KB

Based off of Boronian’s suggestion above. This is the first deck in which I’ve felt that Mirrorim actually earns its slot. On its own it turns Replicant into a discount Endless Hunt, and combined with Lifestream it copies Mechaz0r directly into your action bar for great value.

Songhai was the shell for the original Deceptibot deck, created by Nowayitsj. Before the nerfs to Decipibot (and later, Thunderhorn), it was oppressively good, based off the strength of t2 Deceptibot + Ass Pro. Obviously now it’s much worse, but still an interesting meme.

[Budget] Value Unbirth

WRyqHHR.png830×475 72.8 KB

This build is pretty all-in on the combo, but you don’t necessarily need to OTK since your rush minions can also serve as game-ending burst damage. This isn’t a mech-centric build, but a 2 mana 2/2 rush is a great card on its own in addition to supporting the combo, and is well worth the support it needs to function.

A really creative idea - in a mech deck, Project Omega can be thought of as a cheaper approximation to Worldcore Golem. This allows you to mostly play mechs as usual, while also letting you to pull off the surprise Miotic Induction + Egg Morph combo finish.

Since Magmar mech decks dump so many minions onto the board, this deck takes advantage of it to run Mandrake + Reliquarian as a complementary wincon.

Tech in Homeostatic Rebuke if needed

rKW6kRO.png830x475 78.5 KB

I’ve seen Zohan play a spicier version of this list which includes some number of Alter Rexx. The combo: 4 Kujatas (achievable using Progenitor) + Alter Rexx + Mechazor = unlimited Mechazors, which allow you to fill the board (and rope your opponent in the process).

Ib4Mimu.png830x475 80.9 KB

I’m skeptical about this list due to the anti-synergy between Apex and all the Opening Gambits, but Apex dropping Metaltooth + Omega + S.I.L.V.E.R. does look like a hilarious way to close out a game.

---

@alphacentury’s Mech Starhon is beautiful when it gets rolling.
I’m playing a joke variant to try and get the exponential Grow… Provoke is sometimes useful but very situational.

Homeostatic Rebuke is played either as a come-back card, or as a pseudo Rush (+Frenzy) on the turn you summon Mechaz0r.
I tried using Thumping wave as a control / burst spell instead, it’s a more specialized tool but easier to play if you often have backline units you want to keep.

Metaltooth -> Cryonic -> another mech allows you to get immediate use out of the buff. A very inconsistent combo, but creative.

Just a simple tempo list. I used to ladder a lot with something like this until half of the cards were nerfed, but it still has some power. Mark of Solitude may seem weird, but it’s surprisingly effective as a decent stat buff to any of the Mechaz0r pieces to allow for better early control of the board.

Kara

Y2FP5xD.png830x475 74.3 KB

Ramp hard. Eventually you get to your big finishers + Reflection to turn any leftover walls into more big guys, and until then the extra mana helps you Kinetic Surge the Mechaz0r pieces. This list does have problems with hand size, though, so you’d better hope you draw your cards in the right order.

Ilena

yV6EDgF.png830x475 76.3 KB

Use stuns and provokes to keep your board alive, closing out the game with a combination of mech beats and buffed walls. Fun story: the Razorback slot was originally Feralu, which I’m still trying to make work somewhere, until I made the unpleasant discovery that “Wall” is not a tribe.

Hey @miguelosz
Do you have any lilith trail decks?

[miguelosz]

I guess it’s a bit off-topic here, but for Wanderer I have this

Miguel's Abyss deck and discussion space

Arcanyst Wanderer [image] Actually, I (as many others) am not too fond of facing all the Wanderer spam currently on the ladder. However, I believe that the highlander format does allow for a lot of unique deckbuilding experiences which haven’t been really explored yet (because the on-curve play good stuff lots of removal etc. is always the more competitive way to build it). This deck goes for the Arcanyst-spell proc route. We have different categories of cards here, which serve different purp…

As well as this

Miguel's Abyss deck and discussion space

Dying Wish Wanderer [image] Don’t hate me… So, a second/third attempt on my crusade to put the “fun” in “Funderer”, this time we’re trying out a dying wish version. As a veteran of Lurking Fear decks, I’m very pleased with how this deck turned out. Before Carrion Collector (praised be him), Lurking Fear was the only proper dying wish ramp tool available, so the dying wish decks’ toughness depended often on finding a single 3x card within the first couple of turns. With Wandere…

And for Xor

Miguel's Abyss deck and discussion space

[image] Here’s what I brewed for Xor with your cool “Meat Cannon” idea Steal-type cards provide good sacrifice targets, such as when the opponent plays around Tormentor by playing a cheap minion or when you get bad Reaper rng. I don’t like Xor at all in general, so I only did limited tests (3-3 in Gold) but it feels pretty much on par with most other Xor builds, pretty average all in all. The idea might have some potential if someone with more motivation wants to refine it.

[boronian]

14? Don’t they already close after 5 days?

[snowshot]

No lilith?? Maasnnnnnn

[alplod]

Afaik, in “general” section they do, but in “decklists” it’s 14.

[boronian]

Ah thanks, that’s good to know!

[miguelosz]

Whoops the Xor one is Maehv, forgot that I dislike Xor as a card so I don’t have many decks for him

If meme decks are allowed here, please let me introduce you to EGGAZ0R:

Replace the perfectly reasonable Starhorn by a much more mercurial Raggnora. Win by buffed Rippers, Mechaz0r or S.I.L.V.E.R.
Burst damage incuded.

[cookedpoo]

Lionize is totally a meme, and definitely can be taken out for something more reliable, but I like to add it in for those hilarious Lionize + Solpiercer + Marching Orders, and for the 5 mana Deceptib0t, curve into Lionize + Magnetize the next turn to destroy 2 minions and get 2 SILVERS.

EGGAZOR is certainly a meme deck…SILVER with no metaltooth and amp on a ripper

[nh3maser]

In my mind, there are a few different ways a Mech deck can go:

1. Traditional - Mechazor as a wincon, backed up by faction staples.

2. Deceptibot/S.I.L.V.E.R package, together with in-faction keyword-granting effects.

3. Replicant/Metaltooth package, for combo decks that need an extra rush minion.

Here are some lists (with sources credited when I can find them):

Songhai

amp on a ripper

That was a big misclick on Bagoum. I meant Greater Fortitude of course.

[nh3maser]

In the October Top 50 list, Zohan contributed three variations on Starhorn Mechs:

The same Reliquarian list from before with a couple of Rebukes teched in.

I’ve seen Zohan play a spicier version of this list which includes some number of Alter Rexx. The combo: 4 Kujatas (achievable using Progenitor) + Alter Rexx + Mechazor = unlimited Mechazors, which allow you to fill the board (and rope your opponent in the process).

[bepoest]

Has anyone been known to run Lady Locke in a Mech deck? I got my first one recently.

[cookedpoo]

4/5 of the Mechaz0r mechs really need a +1/+1 buff, along with Replicant and Metaltooth also wanting +1/+1, so Locke actually does sound good for mech decks. The provoke is also good, and I could see it used in combos to lock people into frenzy/forcefield.

I don’t actually have 3 Lockes yet, so I seldom run them in decks, and they do take up deck space and tighten design constraints, so I haven’t tested them yet.

Congrats on getting first Locke!
