This is my second deck I've built. I've played a few games and it's doing quite well, but then again my local metagame is basically me and two other people :|

Anyways here is my deck, it's pretty self-explanatory.

Deception x 25

Defenestrate x 4
Red Raven x 4
Adroit Marauder x 4
Card Counter x 4
Hyperphagic Sarcophyle x 4
Swashbuckler x 3
Snake Eyes x 3
Pillaging Pirate x 4
Scrag x 3
Ferrous Ferret x 3
Ambuscade x 3
Rocket Boots x 3
Tremor Engine x 2
Heist Planner x 1
Bipolar Sarcophyle x 1
Rapine x 1
Sudden Osprey x 1
Pluck x 1
The Billionaire x 1


Basically just mill my opponent as a hit him with weenies, then maybe draw a pluck and beat him down with his own doods. My one-ofs i need more of (and I need a fourth Scrag) especially Pluck, but it's difficult to trade with such a small amount of local players.

I've thought about splashing Arcanist for discard but I'm not sure.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Not bad, you just better hope that your fellow players do not discover Shriever Attack.

I hate to say but it is bad simply because you dont need 25 resources that is way over board. I mean maybe 16 total but 25 is way out there.

looks very fun, (i assume you dont have all the cards you need) but there are some cards you should up the quantity to 4x.

You could have just said I had too many resources. Saying that it's "bad" was a little unnecessary. But, you are correct and I have reduced it to 20. I will probably take out more as I find other cards I need space for.

Here is my current deck.

-Resources
20x Deception

-2 Cost
3x Rocket Boots
3x Tremor Engine
3x Ferrous Ferret
3x Scrag
4x Pillaging Pirate
1x Pluck
1x Sudden Osprey
1x Master Scavenger

-3 Cost
4x Card Counter
4x Defenestrate
3x Snake Eyes
3x Ambuscade
1x Incriminating Photograph
4x Hyperphagic Sarcophyle
4x Red Raven
1x Heist Planner

-4 Cost
2x Bipolar Sarcophyle
3x Swashbuckler
4x Adroit Marauder

-5 Cost
2x Rapine
1x The Billionaire


The idea is still the same, with just a few new cards I've added since pulling. I still need more Heist Planners and Incriminating Photographs (They work terrific together, and Heist Planners are great for getting fodder for Pluck)
I need more Plucks, badly, but I am still able to win consistently with a steady swarm of weenies.

I am still considering splashing Arcanist. Are there any arcanist cards that would be especially good in my deck?

Thanks for the replies.

If you want to stay mono you should probably include quads of all the deck depletion stuff. Your best bet is to deck out your opponent at which point you should be able to win without much difficulty. You're still running too many resources, unless theres a six threshold card that I'm missing. It might be justifiable if you were playing Jackmove, but you're not.

forgive me for my words but this is the competitive deck forum and I have to give you my honest opinion and honestly I dont think it was unecessary. I guess I should have offered some suggestions and that was my failing.

If your looking at arcanist there are a lot of good cards.

You could go many ways with the deck. I dont know your card collection but if you gave it to me either here or in a pm I could build you a sample deck. Since I dont know what you have and your cardpool is limited it wouldnt be worthwhile to list a deck you can't build.

You could either stick with your mill theme and get some cards that discard your opponents cards like swarm of gnats, screaming cheese, forget, stolen insperation, and get servile centipede a 1/3/3 that lets you search your deck for a tactic. Very good with rogue.

However with the current cards you have Ferrous Ferret, Hyperphagic Sarcophyle and Bipolar sarcophyle you could make a pretty good token pump deck with arcanist. Everytime you put a token on those cards it will give them the bonus listed on the card for all of those creatures it is a +1/1/0. To do this you would use cards like skimping ecto manipulator, voidial perversion, insidieous ecot manipulator to put tokens on them to give them bonuses. For example voidial perversion says target a creature and put 2 token on it. This card played just once on Bipolar sarcophyle that won its flip would make it a 5/6/4:eek: Played with a ferrous ferret in play you would have to target it and it would gain 3 tokens total making it a 4/4/4. Then you have the hyperphagic sarcophyle that woudl become a 4/4/2. All in all there are some other good cards you could run like very big hat of invisibility or air travel to make your creatures covert. Hyperphagic sarcophyle with covert can become a big hassel because everytime it damages your opponent it get bigger.

I would also suggest in your deck with the extensive mill to run catastrophic betrayel. If you stay mono look for about 16 resources some people even run 10 but thats dependent on threshold. With a late game enfasses of the deck I might also recommend Grand Theft All because that is the King of turning a game way in your favor.

If you would like an example of either deck type give me a list of what you got so far and Im sure I could give you a suggestion deck and then you coudl playtest it and take it from there.

Keep growing your playerbase and playing this awsome game its really cool you got a group of players:D
