Spelltruvian - Most fun I've had in this game.
I've been playing Duelyst for about a month now, great game, really like it. However, unit recently I've been searching for a deck that really clicked with me, and now I've found it.
I give you: Spelltruvian
Decklist here:
The basic idea is to play owlbeast sages and manaforgers alongside Inner Oasis and make a small army of basically unkillable dudes, save for silence effects. You use the leftover huge bodies for Third Wishes and other buffs and gain control of the board that way. Thanks to Scion's First and Second Wish, plus Inner Oasis, you can chain many spells in a single turn to get your Owlbeasts and other minions out of range of any damage based removal and just keep growing them.
Of course, this strategy is rather weak to dispel effects, so make sure you spread your buffs around. On top of that, if you can get going, there will be just way too many minions your oponents will want to dispel. I had games where a Lionar drew triple Martyrdom and Sunbloom and still didn't quite manage to remove all big cards, eventually going down to a Sand Howler + Third Wish combo.
You also have access to a lot of healing (3 Emeralds and 3 Healing Mystics) making the Songhai matchup pretty good. Rasha's Curse helps a lot as well.
The list I posted above is by no means final, and there are quite a few things you could add, Alcuin Loremasters and more Twilight Sorcerers for example, but if any of you guys wanna try it out, I can highly recommend it.
Oh, one more thing...
I climbed from rank 3 no chevrons to S-Rank losing only a single game. Yeah, I got very lucky sometimes and had some pretty close games, and I know that that small amount of matches doesn't say too much, but 14 - 1 is a pretty good w/l ratio still (There were a few leaves I'm not counting).
