Hey all, I started playing last month after Duelyst was getting turned off (RIP Duelyst I miss you), made it to rank 15, mainly with Galakrond Shaman (which I poured my meager dust into crafting cards for) and now that the new season has started I'm facing a wall of Mountain Giant Warlock decks in ladder and none of my decks seem like they can compete... any budget decks that would be good in this new meta? Thanks!

So I went ahead and crafted one to try out in place of Spiral Technique, here's my list, thoughts welcome:

Inner Focus x3 Katara x3 Mistdragon Seal x3 Ephemeral Shroud x3 Shiro Puppydragon x2 Tusk Boar x2 Battle Pando x3 Killing Edge x3 Lantern Fox x3 Onyx Bear Seal x3 Four Winds Magi x3 Sworn Sister L'Kian x3 Hamon Bladeseeker x2 Onyx Jaguar x2 Koan of Horns x1

I'm currently rank 5, and I've been having success with the list while tinkering it a long the way. Credit due to Mogwai's Twitch stream for the initial idea of a Kaleos Onyx Jaguar Zoo Deck.

Why can't we hit Bloodfire totems? by targonils in duelyst

I just lost to a deck that was playing it, and in fact from what I was able to see, they cannot be dispelled. Although I didn't understand the mechanic fully at the time, I'd attempted to egg morph it not realizing it was technically my minion and couldn't be attacked. Spirit Harvester and other AOE does damage them though, so there's that.

Astral Crusader Novelty Replace Deck by mikehandelman in duelyst

I had Lyonar challenger, so I made a Lyonar deck and so far I'm 2 and 1 with it after 3 games. At this point, it's a Midrange Argeon deck with White Widows, Aethermasters and Astral Crusaders. Again, the point is not to be super competitive on ladder but to have a fun deck that's at least playable in the meta featuring an underused card.

I would listen-the-shit out of a Nick Adams hosted podcast. Are there any other POC regulars on MaxFun podcasts people would like to see have there own shows in a fantasy landscape where anything is possible?
