From the Gauntlet-Aggro Decks

"Hey guys! Welcome back to From the Gauntlet, your one stop shop for all your chaotic strategy needs! This will be part one of a three part series where I am going to explore the three major deck types in the metagame. Those of you who are familiar with other card games might have heard these terms before, but that doesn’t make them any less relevant when it comes to Chaotic. Over the next three weeks, I will talk about aggro, combo, and control decks. This week will focus on one of the most popular of the deck types: the aggro deck...."

Chaotic Card of the Week-February 4

This week's card is Supercooled Rain:

For five build points, Supercooled Rain is a really costly attack, but for dealing 40 damage, and making your opponent lose 4 mugic counters, some players think it is worth the cost. Playing this attack early on will effectively shut down a few of your opponent's mugic cards for the rest of the match. Many decks rely on have an exact number of mugic counters to play their cards, and usually don't have to many mugic counters to pay for anything else.

There is no doubt that Supercooled Rain is good, it is just a matter of whether or not if it is worth the price of 5 build points.

Some Notes:
Here is a warning to anyone who wants to use this deck. There is a bug with the Aspect Amplifiers and Outperform. If Clodor would attack with a Mind Strike, it will deal 30 (15 from the checks, plus 15 from outperform). The is not how it is suppose to work. Outperform should only add 5 damage to the attack, not 15 (the game gives it +5 for each check instead of only +5 for the attack as a whole). So I better not catching anyone using this deck with the bugged cards ;).

Please post your comments, criticism or even a friendly hello :).

Warbeasts Revisted

Hello again! I just got a Blazvatan yesterday, so I have been testing out different warbeast decks, and I am just wowed, both at how awesome and cool this deck is, and in how wrong my original approach to the deck is. This is the current deck that I am running. I need to give credit to bahamutlord.

Some Strategy:
1. If your opponent gets to go first, you always want to play Defender's Song as soon as you can. This way if your opponent wants to attack your front line Ranun, you can easily swap him out with your Blazvatan. Same goes if you are in a mirror match up, you can save your back line Conjurors.
2. If you go first, use Ere to attack at your opponent's back line creatures.
3. As soon as you can, you want to move your Ranun who is up front back to where your other warbeasts to protect him.
4. Gear Glissando is a great mugic. It can stop Skeletal Steed, or take down your opponent's battlegear for a turn. If you need the mugic counters, you can use it on your Ranun with the Ravita Flower to get an extra mugic counter.
5. The Song of Shelters are there to stop Underworld decks from either taking down your conjurors, or your warbeasts, but they aren't too strong in the mirror match up.
6. Remember to save your Melody of Mirages for when you really need them. Blazvatan is your key card, if you lose him, you may be in trouble.
