 The Meta Deck
Just toying around with some of my favorite meta cards. This focuses on countering decks that rely on their discard piles (Hammer Into Anvil, Final Blessing) and uber decks (Dragon Buckler, Twist the Blade) with a small dose of normal meta (Sphlyric, Thwarted, Stubborn, Mollusk Helm). Thoughts? 1 Pog'myrmex2 Ballista Crew3 Sphlyrix3 Karn of Clan Manaka3 Kul of Clan Tergoth3 Verusk3 Envoy Soraya2 Dor of Clan Manaka2 Vels of Clan Manaka1 Kel'suk1 Rrok1 The Retiarius3 Thwarted3 Final Blessing3 Hammer Into Anvil3 Embolden3 Stubborn2 Twist the Blade3 Dragon Buckler (Treasure) 2 Wyvernsteed1 Hod's Legacy1 Stormwolf1 Mollusk Helm

 Re: The Meta Deck
My first guess is for anyone putting a card on top of their deck ( Niobe's Leaf, Burial Shroud, Revenant) or against Inquisitor Dmitr, who stacks the deck each turn.

 Re: The Meta Deck
Meh, he just puts stuff in the discard. I hate all the other NoThRoG starters. Also, if he burns characters, that's pretty sweet.

 Re: The Meta Deck
I'd say the overall looks pretty interesting. I'll make up something similar and give it a whirl.

 Re: The Meta Deck
Dragon Buckler is very good, but the problem items at the moment are Ghoststeel Gauntlets and Common Blade, neither of which can be hit by Dragon Buckler. Perhaps Pillage is worth a look?

 Re: The Meta Deck
Well, if you land a Dagon Buckler hit, you take off the Blood God's Bassinet (-2HP and deal 2 wounds) and whatever item they get the most AC from, likely Fiendish Plate. If you hit them a second time, they're in trouble. You just have to plan it correctly. The other deck I thought about running this out of was Brom or Thekk, because they have access to Magma Gargoyle who hits with a Dragon Buckler for, yes, count them, THREE items.

 Re: The Meta Deck
I tried this out in a couple of games. It seemed to work, but that might just have been lucky dice. I'll keep it built for a few more runs.

 Re: The Meta Deck
Was it the exact list with Treasure Dragon Bucklers and the Ambassador?
