Death to swarms!

Presenting this time: A deck to blast the map repeatedly with AOE destruction!

Playstyle: Use a windblades to discourage them from engaging. Proceed to camp corner with forcefielded scintilla (if possible) and sunbreaker. Begin blasting map repeatedly with tempest until their general dies. Protect corner units well.

Units:

Aegis barrier: prevents removal (some), so very helpful.

Sundrop elixir: keeps you alive, so very helpful.

Prism barrier: keeps your units alive, so very helpful.

Sun bloom: dispels faraway enemy units, so very helpful.

Tempest: kills general and small fries, backbone spell.

Windblade adept: makes them run away rather than fight you.

Martyrdom: most units without forcefield won’t survive repeated blastings. Use their HP to keep you in the game longer.

Scintilla: heals you. Prism barrier and aegis barrier this unit if possible. You will recover more HP than you lose/tempest if you can accomplish this.

Silverguard knight: locks things in place. Helpful on early turns.

Sky burial: kill important things in the corner. No one plays around this, so OP.

Blistering skorn: mini-tempest, plus martyrdom target.

Holy immolation: close range AOE. Consider using an airdrop unit in conjunction so that you can cause triggering that causes more triggering.

Sunbreaker: gives you more of your favorite card.

Suntide maiden: it doesn’t die.

Trinity oath: most broken lyonar card. Always use.


UPGRADE OPTIONS:

As jon678910 pointed out, Arclyte Regalia is a good option as you can sit in the corner and blast over and over again and take no damage.


Have fun blasting swarm decks into the ground!

No arclyte? You can just sit in the corner and tempest while taking no damage.

A good card. Unfortunately, can’t afford.

:wink:

Toth’s a good card. You’ll need to expend a prism barrier to keep it alive though through the Tempest Storm.

9.9/10 Concept
Woulda called it “Solar Artillery”

Edit : Actually, "Solartillery"
or “Lyonartillery” sounds better

Golly. You are my new least favorite person in the world.

This sounds fun in a masochistic sort of way. Would be fun to have a match where minions aren’t allowed to attack generals and see what happens.

At this point why argeon?

Isn’t zir’an better since she can heal your minion back to full in the middle of a tempest’s…storm?

If you run zir maybe you can put 2 maiden instead of martyrdom.

Anyway great idea and great deck!

Because your BBS is replaced with tempest. I mainly use argeon because the extra damage in the beginning generally persuades your opponent to back off.

Thoughts about Decimate?

Great card. If you can afford it, get it. Cuts down the arcanyst fiesta at the knees.

I’ve heard it’s pretty good at decimating things

I’m always a sucker for creative decks. Good job!

Have you tested this? Any replay to share?

Works pretty well. I’ll try to record one in a bit.

Looks pretty fun! Might try it, seeing as I have the card that makes the BBS tempest collecting dust :slight_smile:

Just had a really close game with it against a ziran. She kept healing her stuff and then she removed my sunbreaker

But the power of atmospheric solar-powered carpet bombing won the game!
