Deck Discussion: Sexy Elf

[stealingblinds]

There are a few decks out there that me and my teammates have been tinkering with a lot, and this is probably one of the best lists we've come up with. We really liked the synergy between Banker and Gearsmith, with cards like 633fy 31f (henceforth known as Beefy Elf) and Erotic Assassin. It played all of the really powerful cards that people have problems answering, and with 12 free spells, it applied early pressure better than any other deck. Part 2 gave us a lot of really good cards to work with, making it one of the top decks for the IQ season:

2 Greed (Starting)

4 Erotic Assassin
4 Embezzling Bookkeeper
4 Beefy Elf
4 Basic Node
2 Hub Node
3 Guardforce Morphmajig
1 Schproingmajig
1 Micromajig Shipping Container

3 Invent
4 Precise Sabotage
4 Postmortem Debenture
4 Keen Strategem
4 Anesthetizing Opulence
4 Irresistable Bribe

4 One-Legged Hoppking Pogo-Bear
4 Short Term Investment
4 Leutoderm Prototype

15 Elitism

I'm always open to thoughts; A lot of things could easily change in this deck, and there are many different routes that you can take with this concept.

As good as they are, i would like to see the nodes removed. Little more protection in the form of jaques, or even accel in the form of the the guarforce haxzor or contriving engineer would be nice to make your invents so much bigger. just a thought, but it seems kinda good as is.

It's funny that you suggest that, because the most recent change to the deck was removing Traps and Engineers to put the Node package back in. They fuel Beefy Elves and Guardforce Morphmajigs very well, which is the main reason why I felt they should go back in the deck. I wasn't a big fan of Trap in the deck because it's a defensive card; the deck's removal should be concentrated on getting blockers out of there, which is why I'm leaning toward Brummagem Jewelry over Irresistable Bribe. Bribe gains them life, which can set you back a substantial ammount.

I really think Engineer needs to be in the deck, but I'm not entirely sure what to cut. I might cut both Hub Nodes and a resource to add three of them, seeing as the nodes are just in there as extra cheap spells and dudes, and Hub Node never really does too much. If he's big enough to matter and your nodes aren't going to die, you were probably winning before you cast the Hub Node.

Instead of irresistable bribe you could go with anestisizing opulence (i presonally think giving them 3 resources is better than god knows how much life)
