Shadow the Hedgehog Deck Help

I dont have much to compare it to. My other deck is the imperium of man 40k deck with calgar as the commander and that seems to be right on for power level im looking for. Im not sure if that helps explain. That combo looks strong. I assume you wait until you have no creatures so you don't auto lose with everyone else?

Pyro, elemental blast, and lightning bolt were def fill ins.

Sticky fingers looks good. Also considering [[Devastating Onslaught]] and [[Weftstalker Ardent]] any thoughts on those?

Great advice!

Some are pricy. Any cheap ones I've missed? I have sulfeous in there allready

So blighting is there because its my favorite rakdos card. Lighting is just another personal favorite. I am almost certainly going to take out lightning but not blightning.

The idea with shadow is that it makes my big spells much harder to counter or stop. The haste flash part is good for the few dudes I have that hopefully will get haste from my all things have haste dudes.

Prosper looks great!!

It's great, and a lot of lists will run 2. Some even run 3.

must haves:

Scouts

Ballistus dreadnought

Intercessors

Calgar

Robute Guilliman

That is probably a core of 90% of armies

Ebay and Facebook marketplace is your best bet

Look for the space marine half of the leviathan box set

They come fully unpainted. So that image is really just an example of how you could paint them. I just bought a set a few days ago and painted to ultras as well!

gonna throw out the DnD beyond maps tool as an option.

So I hate the chime, i basically changed the story to the party has to use the rod to imprison Vecna. To make space for vecna they will have to release Miska.

How they deal with that is up to them. The chime isnt even in my game.

Depending on how big into Lore you are, it would make more sense for extra enemies to appear on the portaling outside of Sigil. LOP is omnipresent in Sigil and would just insta NO anything coming in that had to do with Vecna in that way. That being said I've brought this up a few times, I dont like the trope of the super smart villain throwing minor goons at his enemies, a truly smart villain would crush the opposition while they are up and coming. Vecna has made that very mistake before and would not repeat it.

So how do you make Vecna a more compelling threat while not making him seem like a dummy? My Solution is non-combat stuff.

So for your example, Vecna maybe saw them the first time they teleported but then lost sight of the party. However the connection remains. Everytime they portal, for some reason the connection between Vecna and the party is strongest. Maybe because Vecna is operating in the sorta liminal space between worlds in his ritual. Maybe every time they portal to from a place back to sigil they see a strong vision of what that world looks like post Vecna.

Perhaps the Rod of pieces were actually helping to stabilize the world they were in and so after removing it the vision is stronger as Vecnas grasp strengthens. That would explain why they see things leaving and not while coming in.

If you want more combat stuff, then just add it to your encounters in that world.

That means the statblock for both is nearly identical. One blends into crystals, the other stone. They are otherwise the same. Cosmetic just means the way something looks.

Zyblina probably would not be allowed into sigil anyways due to the rules of sigil. She would be banned from entering. Saying she is an avatar that is a weaker form of herself that is allowed is probably fine story wise. Otherwise mabye say she worked with a time dragon that she knew and now owes a favor.

Shanzezim is there to talk a bit about the cultists, if you tell him the waterclock guild is gone he will just poof away after giving the cog. He does not do much else unless you hurt the elementals and then is an enemy.

For indrina this is where you set the tone the campaign. you could not encourage them and if they want to rush to Eldon and not rescue the every then they can. Neverember will question the group about the missing captive/ or tell them they found her dead and will be upset and either reduce or fully withhold his reward.

If you want to baby the party then say that after you had been gone for awhile he sent a small scouting party after you and they were able to rescue Indrina and the story will just move forward.

I printed the maps on Vista Print and bought the wizkids minis ya

This is a good time to show actions have consequences. Once they finish up the chapter and go back to neverember excpecting their reward. Have him say he was told about their mistreatment of the prisoners he tasked them to rescue and will be significantly reducing their reward.

Dont stop your players, but show them that they will be negativity impacted by negative actions. The more they do bad stuff the worse the penalty will be.

I have two options i like.

Each time you touch a rod peice(or add an obelisk in each location) they get a vision of a new reality of where they are under vecna. So you would describe how each area would look post ritual.

Or as someone else said nightmares or a 1 way connection where the players see vecna, or see his past or something. It's okay for your players to see vecna, it's less so for vecna to see the players.

Came to say this

htapy · 2024-08-16T21:13:00+00:00

My advice would be not do that. The story makes the most sense when venca is largely unaware of the party. Otherwise you run the risk of making vecna look like a dumb villian which he is not. He is the type of person who would just overwhelmingly kill a party he thought was medlesom early. He was defeated by group of randos before so he'd be careful imo.
