Warblade sounds great; I’ll try it out.
Strategos Brome deck help?
@halcyon98 well, big minions are going to compete with what you want to do most of the time. You want to A- flood board to bring up the count to five for jax truesight
B- play jax truesight to get the stratty up
C- get stratty out

Auroura is the closest thing to a big minion you have, its cheap for an awesome body that says “remove me or die” which at least will always slow down the opponents next turn

What’s your opinion on removal? Should I run them or not? I noticed that many of Strategos lists didn’t run any kind of removal.
Run martyrdom and draining wave, very very strong. Right now there is just too many threats to ignore them, and even hypersewarm lilithe has always at least run some daemoic lures. Thorn exists

Alright, this is my deck for now. I will experiment with Draining Wave and Azure Herald later, and craft Dreamgazer and Truesight when I get the chance. (As for the Giago, I won’t take him out because he’s my favorite.) Thank you!

Looks pretty good so far, and if you want to get strategos to go off easier than take out legion and lifestream for the previously mentioned, but as of now it makes it much stronger vs board wipes

Seems like Golem metallurgist would be great here instead of prophet for synergy with warblade and celebrant.

I have mixed thoughts about Metallurgist at this point as it doesn’t proc the Trial, but I’ll try it out sometime. Thanks!

Mettalurgist is too slow, 2 mana to not progess stratty. I would sub in Jax for the giagos

Realistically, playing Prophet purely because it has 1 attack isn’t all that great either. Metallurgist allows you to not only ramp out some of your other golems giving you more swarm power, but can help trigger Warblade’s bond effect to buff your swarm outside of Plasma storm range or just to increase stickyness.
Yeah, it is not a 1 attack minion, but prophet outside of his attack is utterly useless. Might as well run Vale Hunter. The draw does nothing and having a chance to get +1 HP isn’t all that great either.

Im talking about running prophet to avoid tempest, ghost lightning, and a bunch of other AOE spells in case people get too prejudiced against brome

Yeah mettalurgist would only be run to have a higher proc percentage of warblade, which is good, but its too slow to use your all important early turns on a guy that gives you more chance to proc a good, but not essential ability of a card you may or may not have in your hand.

Either way, I think I have a good start. I’ll try out everything and see what’s best for me.
Good news! I have just crafted my third Truesight. What card should I take out? Lifestream?
The giagos, really no place for em. If you do find you like the additional defense against aggro, you still would only want 2 at most for those specific matchups

I suppose you’re right, I’ll probably only run 1 or 2.
There’s a lot to read so I’m going to go off the decklist posted here. Firstly both Giago, Legion and Lifestream can be ditched.
- Giago is expensive. You only want expensive things so that they can be transformed immediately, like Jax. Otherwise frugality is the name of the game.
- Legion is great to have in the game, but not in the deck. It produces Crestfallen but is still too slow and expensive. It’s better to get him from promotion than from your action bar. Really the only 3-drop that is needed is Auroara, which has honestly won me a third of the game I’ve played with Strategos as it can get massive very quickly.
- Lifestream isn’t really good here. There are few instances you need a particular minion so badly that you’d play it. Not to mention your minions are seldom going to need healing, particularly post-Strategos where everything is promoted, and therefore “healed”, immediately.
Besides that I would replace Pureblade with Azure Herald, it provides you with much needed healing and sustain. Dreamchaser, if you can spare the spirit, is also a must and could replace Araras. Lastly you might consider a couple Ephemeral shrouds for dispel or Shiro Puppydragon for better early game, but both of these are more about personal taste and style.
