Creative Counters Nobody Thinks of

Once upon a time, Bandit made me realised I had only one type of spell in a deck of mines by stealing 3 of them. BoA :sob:. Knowing what was stolen only hurted more.
Considered adding some spells like First Wish just so there was something else to steal.
Titan of course counters Bandit by having nothing to steal.

I have actually played Mindwarper after playing Sphynx as a strategy to get more riddles in play. It can be quite good in the right deck :stuck_out_tongue:

Theoretically, Spinecleaver is a counter to Fault. Especially if you can manage to stand in the center column and Blast 4 dervishes while they are still there.

I am not willing to risk 12 damage via Khanum Ka just so I can almost guarantee 4 damage a turn on the enemy (unless it’s the winning 4 or 8)

You will kill KhaKa two times next turn (so it’s 6 dmg a turn) and surround yourself with totems, so I guess your chances are pretty high.

And it’s 9 dmg by KhaKa anyway. Your spinecleaver will have 2 durability.

Reminds me of cultists from Slay the Spire.

I’m not claming that Cleaver is the perfect answer, but to get 12 damage from Ka you need to allow your opponent to have 3 other Dervishes, which suggests you don’t have other ways besides Cleaver to remove them, which in turn suggests you’re already losing.
Also, I was speaking about Fault alone, against Ka Watcher is better.

Knowing that you speak Russian I can’t help but think you called him that on purpose :thinking:

Yeah, I just think it fits. You got me here. :rofl:

For everyone wondering what we are talking about in Russian Kaka means Poop. Very fitting for the card…and for Vet in general :grin:

Spanish contains a phonetically similar word for the same material.

Khanum Ka! just sounds like a DBZ power move on the loo, honestly.

Watching Myrr’s stream (don’t know her, but apparently someone famous in the community), I learned that Enfeeble is a good conter to Wanderer, because it actually keeps minions 1/1 even after Trial.

Time to make enfeeble/coldbiter deck it seems :slight_smile:

Spirit harvester is still quite strong vs eggs. 5 hp keeps it out of lava lance range to boot

Fellow dedicated hyperthief abyssian here. We’re two, although i rarely play it on curve for obvious reasons. The entire idea of “i don’t need to have a super-solid deck if i can steal my foe’s better cards” is hilarious.
I too like to drop Reliquarians in the mix, mostly for the extra salt of dropping in their core wincon in their faces and turning it into utility mincemeat.
