Obelysk deck help

#17

-2 Skyppy +2 Orbrider would be the change I’d make. I forgot about that card but when I looked at my Unlimited Obelysk Deck I was like oh ya he’s good.

Orbrider can bounce a Dervish to your hand for additional damage, can bounce a Dispelled Obelysk, Dunecaster, Primus Fist, Sandswirl Reader, and can also bounce Dustdrinker for additional damage.

I forgot to mention in the original post but if you are playing against Vetruvian players playing Dustdrinkers, Superior Mirage is insane against them.

Heres the Unlimited Deck for reference.

Nice, sounds versatile. Yea, the Skyppies were alright but I ended up just holding the artifact in hand both games I played it.

I’m going to try running 2x Star’s Fury instead of Gust. It’s bound to summon at least 2 dervishes if not more when played which makes it faster than Gust and generally also providing more burst.

Stars’ Fury good till about Rank 7 or so then people will start playing around it.

What I recommend is if you play for a long session and seem to get the same people swap Stars’ Fury with Kinematic Projection for a couple of matches. People will think you play both and then they start to play around neither. Then you can swap Stars back in.

But yes it’s a decent card since lots of new players and old players forgot about it myself included I died to it recently.

I will add that Brome is one of the more popular general and game plan is to flood the board with tons of minions and starfury can punish that decently at times. So the card is a little more playable than normal higher up you go now.

Skyppies are actually a pretty good choice if you find yourself running low on cards often. Remember to replace unwanted cards. If you get an artifact that isn’t useful to you, which you often will, just replace it, problem solved.

Of course, there’s also nothing wrong with swapping skyppies out for something else. With Scion’s first wish and reassemble, you’ve probably got enough draw. And if you decide you don’t, you can always bring back the Egyptian robot doggos.

Maaaan, I’ve been sleeping on Accumulonimbus. It’s already pretty decent as removal/burst when you play 1, but the second one played is huge. Too good not to run.

This is how the deck is looking now. I took out the Primus Fists and Skyppies, played around with Orbriders for a bit but decided to drop them as my main focus with the deck is aggro and value. Added Second Wishes as they can be really good when going face. Put the Gusts back in after temporarily going without them as there are just times where it’s really strong and it creates huge value if it can survive to a second ability proc.

Update: took out 2x Inner Oasis and added 2x Bone Swarm. Oasis had a tendancy to just sit in my hand or get swapped, while Bone Swarm will allow me to play more aggressively.

Made it to gold :grin:

I took out the Second Wishes and added a third Bone Swarm and Lavastorm Obelysk. I noticed Second Wish is pretty situational and thus not really worth running, whereas Bone Swarm is guaranteed damage and a turn 1 Lavastorm in front of your general forces them to either remove it or avoid taking the mana

Hello and welcome to the forums. Congrats on gold!

@F8D

This is my deck at the moment. It works very well and consistently as an aggro deck.

I’m thinking to make this change:
-1 Bone Swarm
-1 Fireblaze Obelysk
+2 Wasteland Wraith

Dunno if it’s worth crafting them though. I also have enough to craft a single Khanuum-ka. Another option could be Cataclysmic Fault. What do you recommend?

nu, don’t remove obelsyks, even if it’s just one, also swap dustdrinker for something like Duskweaver or another 2 drop, cause you don’t run mirrorim or orb rider (you could run orb rider) to get value from it.

Congrat’s on Gold, I wish I still had the commit ment to climb ladder.

Duskdrinker has been working out for me. He’s a decent 2 drop to contest with in the early game and the added burn is nice. I’d remove a single fireblaze just because of how low their hp is compared to the others.
