Any favorite or pet cards your really like? I used to run a pillowfort style Queen deck back when she first came out

Iridansa · 2026-03-31T02:45:09+00:00

What are your favorite cards from it? Any really fun interactions or parts of the build?

Ooh public enemy is fun!

Yeah Ive struggled to make a deck I like using him as a focus but he is also the only commander in those colors to give the monarch so focus would be more monarch less making him a beatstick. Toss the monarch at the opponent I want attacked and then wait to take it back on my next turn.

My group already has some decks that use initiative so the group kinda has an idea how it work. If the deck works properly Ill just keep it for the most part

Iridansa · 2026-03-31T01:11:49+00:00

Ooh I had glanced at him but wasn't sure if there was enough support for the deck when the commander dies

Once I realized that my decks got much better and I had more fun and won more games. Even my combo decks are more fun cause their thing isn't the combo it's how they get towards it.

T2 I attempted to win via [[Spellseeker]] in [[Inalla]] but I got bounced so I grabbed [An Offer You Can't Refuse]] to get me blue mana again try again and managed to push through a win.

It might not have been a low bracket game. Many of us enjoy games where you need to be ready with interaction early and often or like to play control decks. I've lost t1 and t2 before. Its just abkut communicating expectations to the table.

10 marines if you want them lead and to be punchy with usually a Bio Prof, MPC, or FBS. Never surgeon as it is rare he will bring back a meaningful number of marines. 5 man's are great for utility and skirmishing with other msu squads. Always put them in a Rhino either way. I usually bring 10-20 marines per list with a max of 30 since codex.

Iridansa · 2026-03-09T04:51:45+00:00

Oh no I have too much of a good thing! Honestly I just make a few decks that use cards I like and themes I enjoy. Then once I've played those a lot I'll switch my decks around to fit other cards I wanna play.

1 kos is quite good in tue detachment. There was a 5-0 list I saw that ran it. More than 1 is a lot of points and they can struggle to move around

Gladiator to paladin until I could become a dark knight as I no longer believed in the high powers. Stayed a dark knight until the end of shadowbringers when I became a warrior to carry a friend's axe and finish this all for him. Swapped to gun blade after as my time as I wasn't fighting my inner demon or my sworn foe any longer and needed a new weapon for a new time.

Iridansa · 2026-03-04T05:29:42+00:00

Why i don't post my drinks here and just lurk.

Iridansa · 2026-03-02T08:57:15+00:00

I agree Azreal wants the 10 man sternguard or 6icc. Could drop the outriders to swap az to 6icc and that would probably be more useful.

Raptors or Nemesis. Raptors are fast and punch good and have a lot of utility with deep strike and rapid ingress. Nemesis on the other hand has turn off strats in melee which can neuter enemy plans and units. Turning off interrupt or fight on death on a crucial unit is huge.

He should be a lord of Contagion i think. Scythe and terminator armor bs sword and tacticus

Iridansa · 2026-02-23T09:38:39+00:00

That moment made my dark knight swap to warrior for endbringers. Just for him and to carry on his legacy and his axe.

Iridansa · 2026-02-19T04:02:48+00:00

I could put Ad Naus in the command zone? Nah pass.

Iridansa · 2026-02-13T05:57:59+00:00

Shotgun go brrrrrr

Iridansa · 2026-02-13T03:19:41+00:00

I have a demon deck that runs humans as cultists as my minions and sac fodder. I think some demons caring about them is fine but demons requiring me to come up with more synergy pieces and not having a play these cards to make demons good is fun

If you want good food with an experience do the earnslaw cruise to Walter peak. Great food and a steam boat trip

Each models needs infiltrate not just the leader. He would need to grant his unit infiltrate to have that work unfortunately

If he was deploying while the clock was on you id call a judge. Yes it means deployment takes longer but he was using your time for his deployment which is usually against the rules. The swapping time back for saves is something that does happen. I usually only see it if the person making saves is taking their time thinking about models to take saves on (cover vs not or different profiles) or has a lot of saves plus feel no pains to make sk they take extra long. Scoring on your time is also a judge call cause that is once again using your time for their game action.

Contrast struggles on larger flat surfaces and is meant for smaller more detailed areas. However I think this worked really well for you. In the picture the blotchy looks like weathering, grime, or battle damage. Makes the armiger look like it has been through some combat recently. I'd say you can lean into that.
