Continuing the discussion from Zirixz0r (May 2017):

© “Kept you waiting huh ?” ™

Nth(6?) update on my baby, few changes …

• 2 Rasha’s to deal with T1 Circulus/Phantasms
• 3 Lightbenders for all the Vanar Wall lovers and Healyonars tiles (and the rest of course)
• 2 Night Watchers for those buffed Tigers/SpecRevs/Borekantors/Dervishes, perfect if you can 2nd wish it (no Plasma, need 2 minions to kill)
• 2 Mirages, obviously for SpecRevs/Borekantors but works also nicely on PLENTY others targets, already lead to lethal using it on : Aymara/Drogon/Shadowdancer/Peacekeeper/FireObelysk/Meltdown … experiment, don’t be shy !
• 1 less Astral Phasing, so use it wisely : dispelled Mechazor, EMP, 2nd Wished Sword

imo, Night Watchers are pretty meta rn. Crushes Zirix, crushes Cassyva, crushes Makantor, its just such a powerhouse.

rn ?

Right
Now

Wow, you are old.

[gsvalhalla]

Or maybe not use to internet/gaming abbreviations. Lot of younger people don’t know them as well, surprisingly.

As for the deck, how good do you think Z0r is? My experience from using it from other mech decks generally comes across as a bit too slow to use.

@Gsvalhalla

The alternative being chasis who half the time is slower. Really comes down to what your curve looks like and how much draw power you have.

TLDR: I like him for some decks.

@nwardezir

Doesn’t night watcher bother rasha/blood? Or are you just not to worried about that? I find Mirage to really be all the anti rush tech you need.

Hmmm while I do like EMP he seems to conflict a bit with mechazor and be a touch redundant with bender/rasha in the mix. But eh, I have won many games, especially in this meta, with him.

[phoinexflame]

It is great to see you are still making these decks, they were always fun to play with .

Is Z0r still as good as before? I remember he was surprisingly good before UP, but the rise of thunderhorn makes me slightly concerned about using Z0r.

[miguelosz]

I played 50+ games this month with Z0rlithe, and only got Thunderhorn’d once because of Z0r. Usually you can just avoid it with good timing/positioning.

[nwardezir]

Right

Now

oistiaflb !

(Oh, I see, this is a fucking lazy behaviour !)

Or maybe not use to internet/gaming abbreviations.

Considering I’m playing online for 20ish years, I guess I do … but when they have a real purpose to save actual time typing or are well spread and used

Doesn’t night watcher bother rasha/blood? Or are you just not to worried about that? I find Mirage to really be all the anti rush tech you need.

I usually don’t bother about it for the few times I have NightWatcher on board. For some Generals/deck type, sometime I don’t use and just replace Night Watcher, but considering the Ladder is full of Abyss/Magmar/Vet thoses days … (at least from my humble experience).

Hmmm while I do like EMP he seems to conflict a bit with mechazor and be a touch redundant with bender/rasha in the mix. But eh, I have won many games, especially in this meta, with him.

I usually play EMP when I have I have an Astral in hand, it’s mostly a finish card. With current meta, never had too much dispell. Already have EMP-ed my own Mechaz0r after shoting, and next turn, you I make fly either Mecha or EMP for lethal.

Is Z0r still as good as before? I remember he was surprisingly good before UP, but the rise of thunderhorn makes me slightly concerned about using Z0r.

Never had any issue so far with Thundercow, I usually play my z0r turn 1 and/or am extra careful positioning. Some time I play them in late game to check the RNG gods and get a full Mechaz0r

[gsvalhalla]

The alternative being chasis who half the time is slower.

I don’t like Chassis as well. The alternative I would use is Cannon, even though it has a weak body for 3 mana. If it goes unanswered and you can buff it, then it becomes useful for answering minions that tend to hide in the corner or in the back which normally requires more of a hard removal/transformation spell. While even if Cannon gets killed by a spell, its not a big loss.

[deathsadvocate]

Ah he is missing cannon, hum, yea I usually run at least 4/6 mechs.

But I think in this case it is a desire for 9x two drops.

[gsvalhalla]

Yeah, I would want 9x two drops as well but I would cutting out other cards for that.

[epicflygon]

NIGHTWATCHER!

Damn I wish I could afford Aymaras, any possible replacement?

[nwardezir]

Sorry, nothing efficient comes to my mind
