Zirix Deck: The KRONicles of Bastion

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a deck, and I don’t want any deck I submit to too closely resemble the norms on the ladder. But I’ve been having fun with this new list, and I thought I would share the love. Not too many games so far (5-0 at Rank 3 as of now for those who are wondering).

This deck is the byproduct of a hypothesis I had on a long-forgotten minion: Inquisitor Kron. From what I could tell, Kron had fallen from grace. But I still believed it could have potential, and it was just a matter of how to help Kron get his groove back. So how could I bring what was considered by many to be the most powerful 5-drop in the game to its former glory? Well, as you can see, I added the long-lost cousin of the Vetruvian Imperium: Bastion.

Now, WHY am I running this minion? It actually has tremendous synergy with a lot of cards in the deck aside from being a structure (you’re home fellow structure…you’re home.) With your BBS alone, you suddenly have a body that can live a hit from the opposing general. When you combine Bastion with Shiro Puppydragon, you have a Build-Your-Own-Kinetic-Surge starter pack (maybe I’ll try this with Kara for funsies). And the minion of study (Kron) has been unbelievably more powerful for me when Bastion is around. Kron’s health goes from 4 to 5 which is HUGE for living hits from Makantor and Holy Immolation, or even General + Falcius or General + Warbird if Hearth Sister was used. But it gets better, because the prisoners also reach a new threshold by having 3 health and living a general attack. And the more durable Kron is, the more prisoners that can be produced.

From my experience, the experiment has been a success! (at least thus far. I’ll keep playing with this deck more. I’m having fun anyway.:grinning:) Always feel free to leave thoughts in the comments, and let’s continue to bring honor to the sands of time!

At first I was like, "Hey, that’s pretty cool"
Then I saw the Inner Oasis.

You’re okay in my book!

Inner Oasis is great :smile: I would replace a Nimbus for a Star’s Fury however, as I can’t see a list with fireblaze not running at least one Fury.

EDIT: Have you considered a more replace oriebted list with Skywings? The jump from 3 to 4 health is really good against Songhai and still helpful against Abyss.

Wings of Paradise?

I’ve failed you, I know. Hopefully Sim City won’t shun me for this. Funnily enough though, one of my opponent’s played Circle of Dessication against me, and Bastion lived on, as well as a Soulborn Obelysk!

@longshot405 @eternamemoria
I love Inner Oasis! Such a huge nuisance to factions not named Magmar (because Plasma Storm, which is another reason I like Shiro for helping cards like Falcius and Nimbus).

In short, the reason I don’t have Stars Fury or Wings of Paradise is that I can only fit in so many nice things. I want more nice things, but I can’t have all the nice things. Like Stars Fury. Or Aymara. These cards all sound like fun to use! It’s just that things have been working out well for me so far, and I may as well not fix something that isn’t broken.

Maybe I’ll try Wings of Paradise and Skywing in a Kara deck. I could try using Bastion + Shiro along with Kara’s BBS and see what happens! :laughing:

Well, to fit wings and aether I’d cut the obelysk kit, and maybe add cosmic flesh and a 4 drop.

For Fury I’d take out a single Nimbus.
