Now I haven’t unlocked the 3rd Vanar general yet. But I believe stun and the new cards could work. Hopefully, I’ll unlock the general within the few days and be able to test my own decks myself.
But the real question is what would a possible stun deck look like (if it works), well lets have a quick look at what the base could be like.
At first it doesn’t seem all that inspiring. You got 2 minions, one that does double damage to stunned enemies and one that does 1 damage plus stuns enemy minions in a row (bloodsurge). Yeah those don’t look great, so lets move on. The spells look better. You can kill a stunned minion with Shatter, use Frigid Corona as a cycle card, copy a minion you want with Essence Sculpt, stun and deal 1 damage for 0 mana with Flash Freeze. All decent but perhaps not amazing. Then we have Iceshatter Gauntlet, which kills stunned minions with no durability being lost. Which for 1 mana is great and along with Ilena’s BBS you can kill any minion you can get close to.
I know there are more cards with stun or interact with stun, but these are more likely to be the realistic options.
So what kind of decks could be created? (or dumb ideas I came up, with no refinement yet).
Maybe something a bit artifact heavy, with value minions? Use the stun ability to slow down the opponent, get some artifacts online to deal with minions with your general, use the minions to gain value over time by giving you forcefield, and create more minions when using spells or simply for healing and contesting the board early.
Or maybe we try to bring back an old enemy in Arcanyst Vanar (now with more stun!).
But anyway, those were a couple of ideas to get you thinking about “The Fun of Stun!” (Warning: The fun may only be for you and your opponent probably won’t have any fun with stun).
