I use the last 3 to balance my deck out as I see fit. Our deck is almost complete! I used up 36 of my 39 available cards. Those cards also play a very important role: Cards that are an easy decision for being sacced as resources!Įxample needed to be moved here due to maximum characters limit. Don’t worry about formulating goals that do not help against every deck. When thinking about these don’t forget about the Resource Curve of our deck. With this principle in mind we can formulate up to 6 basic goals (6×6 = 36 out of an ideal sized deck of 39 cards) we would like to achieve with our deck. A solid basis to start from, backed up by game experience. Why at least six cards? One part gut feeling, the other part is even in round 1 you will have one of the cards that supports your goal in close to 3 out of 4 times. It derives from my own experience in which a goal represented with less than 6 cards in a deck of 40 is just not a reliable option if you are counting on those cards continually throughout a whole lot of matches. This principle is supposed to provide a quick and easy way to build, refine and double check a deck for the current 40c format. A different deck size would have effect on all numbers, though the main idea would remain the same: Put at least X cards in your deck to support a specific goal, otherwise you won’t be able to achieve this goal consistently. The numbers are tailored towards a 40 card deck (hero + 39 cards). I – Getting started aka Motivation behind this Principle With this guide I would not only like to help newcomers to build competitive decks, but also offer veteran players a way to quickly review their deck’s reliability and structure.įormulate (up to) 6 basic goals for your deck and support these with at least 6 cards each. This guide is an evolving article which will change periodically, depending on balancing card changes or a change in my thought process after playing more with the cards.Shadow Era Six Steps to Building a Deck Guide by Cruxx I personally enjoy the tribe and have come to appreciate them through studying them. In addition the Alignment also represents a lot of the cost mechanic Sustain ( read more here) to help offset some of the tremendous strengths of the tribe. The Ravagers are also a combo oriented tribe, however they do not necessarily need to rely on combos in order to maintain their strategies. The only thing the alignment specifically lacks is a dedicated draw engine having to rely on Class/Faction cards to fill these needs. They have a great blend of aggressive and defensive allies, ability damage, attack boosters, a variety of item/ability destruction and even negative effects removal. The Ravager are possibly one of the most complete Alignments in Shadow Era. Homunculus having access to all the different types of combat damage really makes me appreciate the Frankenstein approach of the tribe much more. Homunculus decks are generally ally heavy and very reliant on items and attachments specifically, with a splash of other abilities here and there. The neutral side appear to be all over the place but provide some additional choices for both the human/shadow builds. The human side appears to be a wisp (no real synergy), electric theme and a combination of temporary and actual growth. So far the shadow side of the tribe revolves around discarding from the hand and exiling from any graveyards to manipulate the board and receives one or more bonuses from doing so. Essentially the tribe is using “pieces” from your hand and “parts” from graveyards to grow your allies. Then growing and augmenting them.Īs I look over the tribe in general and read the wiki about what the alignment is, I can’t help but think of the Frankenstein monster. Lore: The Homunculus alignment is tied together by the idea of created allies, usually with some elemental (fire, ice, electrical) theme or being created from other allies. They seem to have a wide range of effects, some involving the graveyard, attachments, and attack/health increasing. This type of ally are made up of creatures which have been artificially created by their specific faction (they have members on both the Human and Shadow sides). They were introduced in Dark Prophecies, with further support in Shattered Fates. Homunculus is a tribe of allies in Shadow Era.
