is Kaleos BBS really useful ? as itās conditionnal (having at least 1 minion on board that you can move), again, wonāt Reva be better to pump your Arcanysts ?
usual win condition ? boosted Arcanyst you teleport to contact for kill, or usual āsurvive and attrition until Spiralā ?
isnāt Owlbear insta removed/dispelled on summon ? Thatās my main issue with Arca decks.
only missing a 3rd Eclipse, maybe gonna replace with a 2d Spiral, or a 3rd Mask, thoughts ?
kaleos has good synergy with juxtaposition (summon minion, bbs it away, jux to get rid of scary minion or get things out of the way to deal damage to face), and the bbs allows you to play your minions very safe in general, which is very important for this deck. reva spellhai has a harder time with positioning, especially against magmar (heartseeker + four winds magi = makantor).
With the recent nerfs on dispell in general, kaleosā ability to summon threats and teleport it to safety is insanely good. once you get your arcanysts into play and start casting BBS, it doesnāt really matter if you are playing reva or kaleos, at least in my opinion.
also good for getting sneaky lethals.
half and half depending on the match up or the situation.
with kaleos less danger of being dispelled. always be mindful of positioning (lightbender, sunbloom, etc.) rule of thumb: never play a naked owlbeast unless thatās your only possible play. always combo it with a spell and away from potential dispels. i find it quite easy to make them stick with this deck actually
i would recommend against +1 spiral or mask. one more spiral seems too bulky for the deck and with an extra mask you could run into hand size problems. would recommend another card draw option, maybe spelljammer?
Spelljammer is possible, but donāt really like one-offs in āseriousā decks
Maybe a 3rd Owlbear|Juxta|Twin ā¦
One think is sure, Iām gonna give it a try ā¦ maybe first time for me Iāll play Kaleos (loving it) without any backstab minion
I guess it works nicely versus Wallnar ?
Very nice deck, thanks for sharing. Which part of the ladder are you playing it at atm? Also three panddo and no deastrike seal? Have you tried it in this deck?
i personally never felt the need for death strike seals. with 3 battle panddos and 2 twin strikes your early board control is pretty good, and you still have the 3 bear seals and 2 juxtapositions for big minions. and if you are facing a huge board of big minions, you are pretty much screwed anyway
After some testing (just replaced an Eclipse with a Juxta), I confirm, 6 match mid-gold, 4 loss (sim/heal/kara x2), 2 wins (reva, faie).
Feedback : seems itās a bit slow on start, maybe not enough 2 drops, hard to answer fast decks and keep board clean despit panddo and spell. Twin is always clunky with the 2 target condition, most of the time itās a dead card I have to replace ā¦ consequence : lacking of draw
Also, Owlbear only survived one match without being destroyed/silenced the turn after cast.
Congrats if you managed to climb up to S with it because itās far from easy, at least in my humble gold
Maybe Iām gonna tweak it a little, something like :
2 blood
2 tusk
+1 chakri
3 manaforger
Reason : still only 6x 2drops but more arcanyst synergy, also may help cast spells cheaper and forgers may lure for dispell/removal, so ā¦ less on owlbears
Also :
2 twin
1 eclipse
1 owlbear
2 spelljammer
Emphazing again on Arcanysm and adding some draw.
i have absolutely no idea
if you want to go for the arcanyst route, i suggest you look into CCalmify/scientist/zooch/wickedfluxās lists on managlow.com
Gave this deck a whirl since Iāve havenāt played for a while, and I really wanted to play Kaleos againā¦switched up Mana Vortex with 1x each of Mist Dragon Seal, Killing Edge and Saberspine Seal.
With the nerfed Foxes and Mana Vortex, it seems just a tad underwhelming thoughā¦but still fun to play
Letās just say weāre usually really happy when you play those Four-Winds Magiā¦ Healyonar has a lot of 4 Health minions (surviving Phoenix Fire) and control cards and is able to restore Health to the General making it difficult to actually finish us off. I tend to do very well against all Songhai decks with my Healyonar.
I do have a question about the list though, why Azure Herald? Would think that Healing Mystic would have better synergy with the āon-hitā minions (Sojourner, Lantern Fox, Panddo)
