Re: Artifact

My latest edit was to take out the 2 Oaths and 1 Relentless Pursuit in favor of putting 3 Unsupervised Artilleries back in. I like how the Artilleries represent a counterplay against Annihilation. I think that more often than not, when I have an Oath in hand I don't have a board state conducive to p...

Re: Artifact

I actually included it more for pierce, with the purge being a bonus effect. Pierce is nice both for tower damage against Vesture and for Gank. Like I said I'm strongly considering replacing it, but I'm just not sure what would be significantly better. I like that it's 5 gold. The deck doesn't reall...

Re: Artifact

WTF is this deck I just played against? Seems like they just added every red card and item they own. Needless to say I won. I ended my first run with my deck 4-2. I had gone 4-0 then queued twice in a row against the same player playing BU Econ. The first game I had a ton of misplays, the second ga...

Re: Artifact

I would never have thought to try Lightning Strike or to run fewer than 3 out of Disciples or Oaths. I'm really curious to see how his list performs, because at first glance it doesn't seem optimal. It seems like he is prioritizing keeping his board a little more resilient and relying on damage from...

Re: Artifact

I've never played RG ramp either. I sold back Axe and Drow with the nerfs and have never tried to build anything other than BU decks. I've had the same experience against RG ramp. Either they draw their ramp and ToT and steamroll me or they don't. I've seen VinKelsier play that deck a few times on s...

Re: Artifact

Here are the decklists for the upcoming WePlay tourney. Petrify is running a BU aggro deck that looks like a hybrid of my earlier attempts and what I have been playing recently. I'm curious to see how he does with it. Otherwise, there is a ton of RG ramp and RB aggro decks, also a lot of mono U and ...

Re: Dungeon Galaxy*

That's pretty cool! I like that creativity and storytelling is baked into how you handle dice rolls. Any grander thoughts of disseminating/publishing the game?

Re: Artifact

Yeah the more I’ve played around with the archetype the more I think Sorla and Kanna are probably both required for BU aggro to work. BH is really for Econ (unless you’re going mono B) and Zeus doesn’t make sense for Aggro.

Re: Artifact

Charm3r has a video playing pretty much the same list but with Better Late Than Never which is interesting to play with Oath.

Re: Artifact

I think the Orb and one of Satyr are ok, as long as you don’t treat the Satyr as an on-curve play.

Re: Artifact

Same list, I'm just looking for small tweaks to get a better curve: https://www.playartifact.com/d/ADCJYQTJrkCgwUdfQ4vvAKEQZ2VQlVBBEhMbAJwAa0BRU1CUiBNaW51cyBBcm1vciBTdG9w Six 1 cost cards is a lot. Have you tried cutting down on the Relentless Pursuits? It seems like you should still have plenty of...

Re: Artifact

My experience is Gank is best run with PA, BH, Lich, and/or econ. With 5 or 6 HP your Ganks lose a lot of value. I'd swap for Pick Off. So your game plan is Mana turn 4 d portal, then Conflag/March, then Eclipse? This means you need the Luna left of Kanna, which you can't guarantee, or else there's...

Re: Artifact

Going to try this . Swapping in Luna for Ogre Magi and taking out the At Any Cost and Annihilations. Eclipse still gives me a potential (semi)lane clear. Added Cunning Plans to thin my deck and potentially keep my blue heroes alive since I won't be using them to Annihilate. I'm undecided about the b...

Re: Artifact

Am I nuts, or should I be running Enough Magic? I'm not sure it would be that helpful to you. Maybe as a one-of tech card? For it to be consistently useful I think you'd probably want to be running Fight Through the Pain or Hip Fire. If you're going to be running those cards you probably want other...

Re: Artifact

Here's my updated list too. So far not doing too well with this deck (or a modified version that runs Sorla with Relentless Pursuit and Oath rather than Trebuchets and Disciple). I'm not aggro enough to deal early damage and am too easily controlled by control decks. I haven't really run into any a...

Re: Artifact

Yeah it’s definitely midrange, not aggro. I started out trying to create an aggro list but it kept shifting more midrange. Would Disciple be preferred over Oath, then? I'm not sure what is correct re: Hourglass. Mostly I queue into RB, where it doesn't feel as good. Yeah maybe Disciple is better, I...

Re: Artifact

That looks like a solid draft deck.

I prefer Debbie. Her statline is superior in most situations and her signature is generally decent enough for draft.

Re: Artifact

I think just swapping 1 Hourglass for a single 3-5 cost item will be fine. Honestly I'm not too sure I think Hourglass is the play since UG Storm is dead. Why flop Ogre & Lich? Is Kanna that important to put left? I think this could work. It's clearly midrange, not aggro, though. Yeah it’s definite...
