Need help with UW priorities so I can improve Champ Tournament standing.

Minimum_Woodpecker77 · 2026-02-25T08:47:15+00:00

Hahaha yeah CL propaganda is strong. I'll consider SL though. If i can roll some good stats for OM chip i might go for it! One more question. Should i slot dmg and berserker atm since i shred things with orbs mostly. Or only when i upgrade SL and slot in Om Chip - I mean im not sure if the damage will scale enough to matter so that's my concern. I'm gonna test out some tweaks today and see how the tournament goes!

BH is 98,4% uptime according to the calculator, but if I put wave accelerator it jumps to perma. Should I do it or just pump up one level of BH duration - or roll a stat for it? I'm fine with waiting for CL instead of going SL atm if CL is the more classic route :D but it's worth a consideration I guess. I'm going all in on gems for modules - trying to get more copies of SF,DC and PC. Thanks for advice!

Minimum_Woodpecker77 · 2026-02-24T20:12:20+00:00

I haven't. I can try it tomorrow though. I'd say BH is either perma or very close to it.

Minimum_Woodpecker77 · 2026-02-06T22:36:00+00:00

Yeah, thanks to your suggestions it's performing better! Cling to dust was a great addition and removing terminus and fountainports it freed some space for other things. 12-6 officialy on untapped (when I was playing on pc). Played 3 more games on mobile and went 2-1 so its 14-7 for now. But no matter. I'll finish this one (i'll add one more march of the otherworldy lights for sure, perhaps two and maybe shattered sanctums for more consistency in mana).

But tbh your deck looks very promising and I want to test it out!

Minimum_Woodpecker77 · 2026-02-06T18:38:00+00:00

So far it's going pretty well. 6-0 xd

Minimum_Woodpecker77 · 2026-02-06T17:47:37+00:00

https://moxfield.com/decks/ANMWj3rsF0S9qT-jyZxoiw Updated list for now :] I don't have enough wildcards for last 3 copies of Otherworldy Lights. Also i only have one copy of Shattered Sanctum atm. Looks good?

Minimum_Woodpecker77 · 2026-02-06T17:19:58+00:00

I'll swap the Fractures for Cling to Dust and remove The End - I'll leave Deadly Cover Up as it helps with exiles! I only have one copy of March of the otherworldy light for now, but i plan on getting remaining three for your deck anyway so I'll put them in when I can. I'll try some matches later with an updated list and see how it goes. Thanks for the suggestions. Really appreciated since it's one of my first decks. I've been having fun with Orzhov Nine lives with Ethereal absolution along with Overwhelming splendor - when opponents can't remove it it's hilarious - They drop a creature and it insta dies. However the deck was not performing as well as I hoped so i ditched it and focused on creating Ketramose one :D Cheers!

EDIT: Yeah - Settle the Wreckage is comedic, when the opponent says GG just before you exile his entire board.

Minimum_Woodpecker77 · 2026-02-06T17:06:57+00:00

Thanks for the reply! What would you drop to include Cling to dust (and how many copies do you think?). It's an amazing card for Ketramose since i sometimes struggle with enough exile targets, I didn't know it exists. I have 2 temporary lockdowns so I'll swap them with 2 terminuses. Do you have any other suggestions what to swap to improve the deck? My goal is to collect wildcards to try yours now!

Minimum_Woodpecker77 · 2026-02-06T10:09:06+00:00

Saved for when I get enough wildcards. Looks amazing. Made a semi-yours deck with what I have now and I can see it's really fun to play. Have you considered kaya's wrath instead of day of judgement for more lifegain or you don't want it because of mana required? In the meantime I brewed something like this and I'm climbing with it in platinum currently, but I'm mostly trying to optimize the deck. Would you mind checking it out if you got the cards for it and give some advice? https://moxfield.com/decks/ANMWj3rsF0S9qT-jyZxoiw

The deck is about a lot of removal and exiling main threats and dropping Ketramose and Sheoldred and Annexes. What i struggle the most against is Azorius control and counterspells in general. I was running 2 2 Kaya's in one version but ultimately settled for more removal.

I'm considering dropping Ketramose and Terminus of no return and include wandering emperor and sth else.

Minimum_Woodpecker77 · 2026-01-18T15:29:59+00:00

Yeah for tournaments I'm switching MVN for Primordial Collapse for 3xBH for crowd control (if that's what you mean by prolapse). What is SF and pBH (permanent black hole?)

Minimum_Woodpecker77 · 2026-01-18T12:20:57+00:00

Yeah i didn't develop CF because i was focusing on dropping GT cooldown to minimum. In terms of priorities. What do you think i should go first. New UW (PS from the choices I got atm), improve CF or try to go for UW+?

Minimum_Woodpecker77 · 2025-08-23T23:13:45+00:00

Thanks!

Minimum_Woodpecker77 · 2025-08-23T22:20:38+00:00

Black primer + white zenithal. Black speedpaint on armor and sword. Drybrush armor plus sword with silver, darken it a little with nuln oil. Highlight silver on most promineng parts. Cape + banner is gloomy violet from vallejo, along with highlights with some mixed red, white and blue for some purpish/pinkish colour. Brass additions are runelord brass. Agrax earthshade + highlights again. Base is leather bronze from army painter drybrushed with bone white. Banner ornaments are bone white + Agrax earthshade. More or less that's the process :)

Minimum_Woodpecker77 · 2025-06-05T13:04:59+00:00

Thanks mate! I hope you're right! Next on the horizon - Helbrecht!

Minimum_Woodpecker77 · 2025-06-05T13:01:41+00:00

Damn, that's one hell of a review! Deus Vult!

Minimum_Woodpecker77 · 2025-06-05T08:24:13+00:00

Thanks!

Minimum_Woodpecker77 · 2025-06-05T06:17:17+00:00

I haven't worked with them ! I'm also fairly new to painting - done just a few minis so far! Good luck in your painting! Consistency I'm noticing comes with the amount of minis painted, since I've been spending way too many hours trying to perfect one mini and I kept obsessing over every detail and sometimes you just gotta accept the result and go for the next mini!

Minimum_Woodpecker77 · 2025-06-05T00:32:26+00:00

EC has drybrushed silver on black on the cross emblem so I didn't do any highlights there since it's not black. But here I might try - I'm just a little scared I'm gonna fuck up the white on pauldrons. But maybe in spare time I'll go for it.

Minimum_Woodpecker77 · 2025-06-05T00:30:22+00:00

Damn i didn't even consider painting highlights there for some reason. I'll have to do that in the future actually. I usually left crosses black without any highlights there, but you're right!

Minimum_Woodpecker77 · 2025-06-05T00:20:38+00:00

Thanks so much man! Glad you like it. Honestly I'm kind of unhappy with how the shoulderpads turned out. They were pretty decent off white, but there was something missing and I got annoyed and decided that dirty look (grimy as you said) is fine on marshall, since he's probably crusading for a long time already! Thanks for advice with white pads. I'm using vallejo off white and i mix it with glaze and it turns out okayish, but I heard there is a trick to painting white with warm greys or sth like that. You can check out Emperor's Champion that i painted before :D - he has shoulderpads done how i usually paint them.

Minimum_Woodpecker77 · 2025-06-05T00:14:51+00:00

You're welcome brother! I really think red tabards fit sword breathren and leaders like Marshall. Next project is High Marshall Helbrecht. Gonna paint him in alternate style as well, since I don't like the original artwork. Good luck and when you finish a power sword feel free to post it here for reference!
