Working on a Rebirth deck. Any ideas?

#1

Hello, NiccoloMachiavelli here. As you may know, I play almost exclusively Abyssian. However, I really like the Rebirth mechanic on the Magmar, and I want to build a deck around it. Once I craft 2 more Klaxons for my current Shadow Creep deck, I wanted to start working on it. this is my decklist so far, any suggestions? I want to avoid purchasing Rise of the Bloodborn or Ancient Bonds packs, so core and Shim’zar cards only. I also want to avoid a Spirit cost TOO high, but it could be a long-term project. I wouldn’t mind if that’s what it takes to make it a good deck.

If some of the cards in my idea suck, I have no idea. I only play AByssian, like I said :grin:.

From my experience, you don’t really need to run lava lance, as their are better control tools available. Also, wild inceptor can feel bad in most cases, and is better off as a 1 of (as egg morph can do the same thing while also being able to remove threats). Based on your restrictions, theses are the card I would recommend running:

  • Mankantor warbeast (too good to not run, staple 6 drop)
  • Flash reincarnation (helps get threats out earlier)
  • Sunsteel defender (solid 4 drop, acts similar to veteran silithar yet is amazing as a turn 1 play with flash)
  • Earth sphere/healing mystic/azure herald (typical healing, although I would only run 1 or 2 of the 3 mentioned based on needs/preference)
  • thumping wave (extremely flexible card that can act as either removal or burst. Works extremely well in conjunction with tigers and mankantor)

When/if you do buy either of the orbs, I would suggest making the following additions
Rise of the Bloodborne

  • tectonic spikes (draw card that works really well with Starhorn. If you run this, I would highly recommend running decimus as well)
  • cryptographer and drogon (if you decide to switch to Vaath for your list)

Ancient Bonds

  • Rage thing/ the 3 mana rebirth minion (too good not to run; it’s Magmar’s best faction 3 drop)
  • Lavaslasher (best Magmar 5 drop, on par with mankantor in terms of power; also has synergy with the above 3 drop)
  • juggernaut (generates eggs and works well with kujata and flash)
  • cascading rebirth (fun card that can give you a free minion when used on rebirth minions)

The suggestions @akurane gave are pretty good, but I doubt you’ll need to run gaze when you have spikes. I personally think gaze is pretty bad since the nerf, whereas spikes lets you draw more cards while giving a greater potential to mill the enemy’s.

Deck seems quite slow with no draw synergy, so vaath will probably be better. Plasma storm might be good if you end up running into lots of swarm.

Use cascading rebirth, you don’t lose the original minion, and you get another thing too!

I’m sorry, but as I mentioned, I don’t plan on purchasing Rise of the Bloodborn or Ancient Bonds. However, I will keep that in mind if I purchase packs. Thank you for your suggestion.

Nice post. But Thumping Wave is Shim’zar :stuck_out_tongue:
