Alternatives to Warlord for SEED Constructed

[Furtive Investor]

Good morning, Lab Rats!
(1000 quatlus to the first person to ID the reference without Googling it)

Mono-warlord in SEED clearly rocks!! Adriel, Gideon, Watchtower (esp vs SIN decks), Dragon Archer, Elzbeth, Drill Garrison, Noble Sacrifice and don't forget the non-rare "Killer B's" (Blowtorch,Badass and Bowman). Ouch!

Add in a 2nd trade, and the news gets even worse (Bowman with Fiscal Intercessor; Peppering Gideon - "That's two for flinching!")

As State Qualifiers ramp-up; I don't want Constructed to be reduced to a bunch of slight variations on aggro Warlord decks. So, the purpose of this thread is to discuss alternatives - in hopes of keeping the metagame rich and varied (one of many great things about this game!)

I'll kick it off. What do you think of this?
Faction - Drowned Catacombs (for threat of Covert) or Tourney
Starting Resources - 1 Deception, 1 Elitism
Characters:

• Cloaked Weaponmaster (4)
• Cowering Golem (4)
• Multi-Attachment Man (4)
• Oddment Collector (4)
• Slinking Bandido (4)
• Swollen Ostrich (4)

Items:

• Bland Pepper (4) - cheap, RFG to pump the OC's
• Cashier's Window (2)
• Hot Pepper (4)
• Muddle Bugs (4) - for removal, and to pump OC's
• Pepper of Insanity (3)
• Runic Armor (4)
• Unbearably Heavy Shoes of Teleportation (4) - flip-up, and they look great on Cowering Golem

Tactics:

• Brilliant Insight (4) - resource acceleration
• Essence of Elitism (4) - to return items from discard
• Roulette Wheel of Doom (4)
• Strangulate (4)

Other Resources:

• Arrogance (4)
• Treachery (4)

Is there any hope for this concept or should I just go back to the drawing board?

The best alternative to warlord in seed constructed is SEED sealed

[bic]

Its almost impossible to beat Seed only Warlord Aggro in Constructed.

See, now you're making me pull all the shots and list yet another deck...

one big problem

Muddle Bugs (4)

if you play this it prevents you from playing

# Oddment Collector (4) dead as soon as he hits play
# Slinking Bandido (4) dead after second hit


may want to rethink this or be prepare to destroy your own cards to get them out.

I am sorry to correct you, but...

No, that is not how Muddle Bugs work. It just checks for destruction of a character after being used upon it.

No, Mono Warlord is not the best deck in Seed constructed. You need to try harder to beat it.

Have fun

Hans is right about the muddle bugs. I dunno about the SEED constructed. I haven't built a SEED only deck.

[Lioge]

No, Mono Warlord is not the best deck in Seed constructed. You need to try harder to beat it.

Have fun

Hans, to what decklist are you referring? If you don't want to post a decklist, can you at least hint to a build by telling us the trades you consider required for "the best deck in the format"?

sorry brain fart I was thinking of the the combo I have been useing lately and got mixed up.


domain of depravity + muddle bugs = really quick and nasty death all over the place.
