So Whats Been Happening? Part 2

WoW TCG

Servents of the Betrayer, set #5, is now out with some interesting cards! Survival hunter can finally move properly into the solo field! Like I orginally tried a year ago when through the dark portal came out. I've so far only really tried out one new deck idea, and have more in my head I need to start working out. The deck i've been using is a Horde Traitor Druid build.

"Traitor Druid?" I imagine hearing you ask! whats that?

Well Traitor heros are new to this set, in most regards they are just like normal heros who took a different path.

"Different Path?" you might say if you actually existed!

Yup, different path, take as an example Morn Walks-the-Path. He is an upstanding cow hunter in the rabble... erm I mean Horde and the traitor horde hunter is Morn Salts-the-Land. Notice the similarity? well this may help as well

 

Basically they are the same "Cow" but having taken different paths in life. This concept is the same for all the traitor heros. And whats nice is the flips, in most cases the traitor flip is a twisted varient on the "loyal" flip. The benefit for being a traitor hero? You get access to some SICK traitor only abilities and allies. The cost is the loss of any talent ability cards.

"I understand now, thank you O great one" you would say I'm sure!

Anyway my first SotB deck is: -

Desecrator Stormclaw

Abilities [30]
4x Form of the Serpent
4x The Natural Order
4x Cyclone
4x Tainted Earth
4x War Stomp
4x Moonfire
3x Tranquility
3x Chew Toy

Allies [8]
3x Magister Ashi
3x Pathaleon the Calculator
2x Warlord Kalithresh

Equipments [8]
4x Wastewalker Helm
4x Wastewalker Leggings

Quests [14]
4x Deep Sea Salvage
4x Information Gathering
3x Manaforge B'naar
3x Dr. Boom!

Things of interest in this deck:

• The Wastewalker lock down. Basically when the helm is out any ally that is exhausted that my hero deals damage to gets destroyed. The leggins deal 1 damage to any opposing ally or hero that becomes exhausted. One both are out my opponent can no longer attack, protect or use tap abilities on there allies without them immediatly getting destroyed.
  

• Tainted Earth. Want to use your quests? well its going to cost you health! sure you want to complete it?
  

• Form of the Serpent. This card gives my druid an attack form that grows in size, with the option of resetting its counter to do damage to an pposing ally. which also works with Wastewalker helm of course.
  

• Mana Forge Ba'nar & Warstomp. Both are for use with the wastewalker lockdown to force opposing allies to become exhausted and therefore destroyed.
  

And in the side deck! Illusionary Rods. The cheap counter to discard decks! ubre tech!
