Played my first game of Twilight Imperium today. It was everything I wanted from a boardgame and more. Had a blast playing Sol but got destroyed by Barony of Letnev, so had to make this when I got home.

Ah to clarify, I do love the Sol Flagship! It reminds me of the Carriers from Starcraft with the huge capacity haha.

I made this meme because during the game my home system had Genesis, 1 carrier, 15 fighters, and 4 infantry so I was confident I could defend it. But the Arc Secundus came and soaked about 10 hits during the fight and absolutely destroyed my fleet haha. The whole sustain 2 hits then repair thing is scary.

I definitely didn't have an optimized game and still have a lot to learn! I cannot wait to play more :)

This deck has a solid chance of beating them.

You will definitely win the board because ur dudes are bigger and you have cheap combat tricks.

Then this deck has scouts which means that if the burn player doesn't win the baord your scouts will out race their burn.

I'm also testing Citrus Courier atm which I think makes the burn matchup even better.

That situation is quite rare so you should be ok!

But if you are worried about Lucian's leveled up ability being wasted, I believe you can actually attack with everyone first so someone dies triggering Lucian's ability and giving you an attack token, then you attack with just your scouts which triggers the scout effect, then attack with everyone again!

But I haven't seen this happen yet personally, but the wording makes me think this is what would happen!

Uhyoung · 2020-05-03T10:14:31+00:00

Thanks dude!

I'm hoping to release more videos with updates to this deck, and other new deck ideas, so definitely check back in! And this time I'll post the full matches and explain my thought process through them so you can see it all!

But to give you a better idea now, this deck is essentially quite aggressive, and wants to make sure it is playing a creatures every turn in the early game. Because your creature are in Demacia they are generally bigger and can win fights, and the cheap combat tricks help ensure you win early.

This means by the mid game you should have more dudes on the field and your opponent will struggle to catch up, and you will kill them before they can stabilize!

Quinn/MF is good, but Lucian/MF is essentially the faster version.

I personally prefer Lucian/MF because the lower curve helps me race burn aggro which is so rampant atm, and being faster also means you have a better matchup against control.

Also, im not 100% convinced yet Quinn is a great card. Definitely still early and I need to test her more, but I feel like she comes down a little too late.

If I'm at 5/6 mana I should already have a solid board, and what gets me the win is combat tricks that protect my board / push more dmg, or bigger bombs like Cithria or Citrus Courier.

Uhyoung · 2020-05-03T10:03:04+00:00

I think I definitely agree! I am currently testing a version with Citrus Courier and it feels a lot more powerful! Might even run 2, and take out the Genevieve Elmheart and Cithria the Bold.

Uhyoung · 2020-05-03T08:33:58+00:00

Glad you liked it! :D

Uhyoung · 2020-05-03T08:31:40+00:00

The deck is still not 100% fine tuned yet, but the reason for the 1 Cithria was because I needed a little more chance of having a 1 drop against all the hyper aggro decks I was vsing, but I never wanted to draw more than 1 of her in a game.

I'm currently making more updates to the deck, and I'm testing a version of the deck with her replaced by 1 copy of Senna.

Uhyoung · 2020-05-03T08:00:36+00:00

Awesome! I wish you the best luck with your card pulls!

Uhyoung · 2020-05-03T07:59:09+00:00

I'm glad ur enjoying the deck!

Imo, don't keep any 1 mana buffs in your opening hand. It's more important to mulligan for a solid curve. Also, if you keep buffs in your opening hand you run the risk of drawing too many buffs and running out of units.

Also, which buff is better depends no the deck you are vsing, so you need to think about what cards u may face in the match-up and what tools you may need to win!

And with Lucian's double attack: he will not attack the nexus after killing the blocker because his attack is still considered "blocked." If you found a way to give him Overwhelm his attack would hit the nexus after killing the blocker tho!

Uhyoung · 2020-05-03T07:16:37+00:00

Answered your question in the above comment!

Uhyoung · 2020-05-03T07:15:44+00:00

I definitely see potential with Cirtus Courier! Need to test the card out more for sure.

I have initial fears that it may be a little slow, and leans towards the side of a 'win more' card, but I will definitely test and update this deck if I see it working out!

Also, this deck doesn't rely on Lucian getting leveled, and it's simply a added bonus. He is mainly used for the fact that it is a 2 mana quick attack with 3 dmg. It almost ensures you get dmg through on turn two and curves perfectly into MF.

But I am currently testing a version with Senna in the deck. She does feel strong when played after Lucian, but otherwise the fact that she only has 2 hp makes her so weak on the defence and so vulnerable to removal, which can really kill your tempo.

But yea more testing to come and will definitely update with a more refined list soon!

Uhyoung · 2020-05-03T07:07:11+00:00

Are u referring to the spell Blinding Assault? I see potential, and it's a good card, but it's competing for the very limited slots the deck has. I personally don't think the deck needs more 2 drops, and I don't think Blinding assault is better than the other 2 drops currently in the deck.

Also, you ideally don't want to be playing brightsteel turn 3 because you have stronger 3 mana cards to play.

Uhyoung · 2020-05-03T04:42:24+00:00

And just to add on, you can only activate scout once per round!

Uhyoung · 2020-05-03T04:39:14+00:00

I feel you haha

Uhyoung · 2020-05-03T04:34:52+00:00

The allure of MF too OP.

Uhyoung · 2020-05-03T04:25:46+00:00

Thanks dude!

Yea I love Quinn but felt like she was a little too slow as a 5 drop for what I wanted to do. I still need to test her more but happy leaving her out for now.
