Greetings.

I was fiddling around with Taisia and I was curious of what you all thought of this deck. It could use some work so I'd love to hear what you Merc players think of it:

Starting Characters (6):

Brine Fiendx3
Keridwenx2
Taisiax1

Characters (18):

Stirgesx3
Anselm Beaucourtx2
Markappal Ivyx3
Mourn Impx3
Keridwenx1
Minor Dragonkinx3
Thunic Wyvernx3
Ivaasx1

Actions (18):

Alertx3
Out of the Shadowsx3
Backstabx3
Zaina's Treacheryx3
Misear Diplomacyx3
Too Fast to Seex3

Items (7):

Shade Lionx2
Gloves of Mischiefx2
Cloudracerx2
Hashashin Bladex1

If I was to change the deck around, I would probably do the following:

-1 Ivaas, +1 Anselm Beaucourt
-1 Alert, +1 Hashashin Blade

What would be your suggestions? I look forward to reading them.

Best,

i run 3 Tseleuse Worm and 3 Portable Hole in my Cairbre Netheryn deck. i think there a staple in all rogue decks.

Knife After Dark
is amazing.

paying the price

Amoudasi's Wrath < Keridwen

oops its EE. i think she would be decent in open, she'd own any front rank fighters and monks...



i like ivaas.

and 2 Hashashin Blade forsure, if not 3.
alert is good but the rest of the items/actions look solid.

I should mention that I only want suggestions for a 4E version of this deck. Thanks for your help, smallbeanz!

For me, Viper Tongue is much better...

The Taisia problem...

An assassin without an army.
Unfortunately the Mercs are missing the characters to aid her directly in the assault so she remains all alone in that department. When a better Mercenary character base appears she will shine.

Some suggestions as is:

1) A needed character is Sedayah Rowan.
Along with the Ivy they make a very good couple. Enter spent and stay spent.
It is a powerful counter against Niobe and general cleric decks, Yavlo the Kindled and some characters like Master Tir-Koltis.

2) Alert is very iffy. It will not work most of the times.
In a similar deck i use Squire's Sash (with Out of the Shadows it can give you games especially against warlord oriented decks)
It is a side combo but it works and is an additional melee strike.

3) Viper's Tongue is way better in Taisia than Hashashin Blade.
The DC is 19 and the wounds are separate. No single heal can stop them all.
With Garrotte (it is useful now at +5 and without the weapon trait) no spent character is out of reach.

4) Bola, Blacksand Trap or anything else to make the opponent spent probably with Camel for abuse.

5) More movement. You need to get Taisia to the front asap.
Leap of the Clouds that can be used as defense and Swift that can be used by your lvl2 rogues are an option as is Cloudracer.

Hope this helped.

i dont get why happenin' is in the title. if you pronounce hashashin with a silent h it sounds more like assassin.

Well I have found something interesting with my deck for here. She became an army warlord. I have a full army of threats so they can't want for her to come up. The problem is this relies evilly on promos mercs to be other threats. I hope with another expansion sh will get enough characters so I don't have to rely on them.

I would suggest you bounce back and forth between 1st and 2nd ranks and pick your spot. Three cloud racers can make this happen.
I would suggest sneak DC spells can hurt. Offhand dagger can be nice. It combos with too fast to see and it is +1 ac. Viper Tongue is a good weapon especially with zaina's treachery.Cunning Shot is good for getting second rank warlords up or spending someone.
