Hi, I am Datapunkt. Used to be a high elo player in the closed beta and now I am also playing mostly in the top 100. I just made a quick guide for the deck I primarely play. Nothing special but I explain some card choices and some general gameplay tips against the most popular decks atm. Hope it is helpful for some of you :)

I've been playing a similar deck with an adrenaline rush teched in to carry over a huge longship. Have you tried that at all?
I haven't tried that. In the past I didn't like adrenaline rush because it 's such a bad topdeck but it got boosted a lot by the inbetween-round-mulligans. But since the deck has a lot of carryovers anyways, I'd rather want to have power so I can keep up with NG and in the mirror and playing non-power spells will often be awkward to play.
It just seems like such a waste when I build up a 20+ power longship that last only the current round.
Maybe I'm just salty about the "regressing" tag.
Yeah but the ship gives you 1 power each turn. If you use it in the combo, it gives you 2 power each turn. So let's say the round lasts 8 turns. You play it T1, T2 the second unit, T3 Hunter. After 8 turns it has regenereated:
0+0+1+2+2+2+2+2= 11
So if you add the body, it was worth 16 power this round, not to mention it strengthened the Hunter.
Good work there, I especially like the inclusion of Regis : Higher Vampire, which I think is underrated
Wouldn't removing decoy make your mork or olgried more vulnerable to locks, and donar have veteran attached to him.
In my opinion all those silvers are essential to my strategy except for Cleaver. I play Cleaver over Decoay because it also unlocks my units and unlike many SK decks in the past, this deck doesn't have too many good ressurection targets, so more often than not I don't want to decoy a priestess.
And I play Cleaver over Donar because I don't want to thin my opponent and it's also a little plus that he is played in the meelee row. Both have upsides and downsides, just a personal preference.
Thanks I am surprised of the lack of guides for this archetype despite it being pretty popular apparently.
Why cleaver over donar?
I asked this same question in another mork deck thread. The consensus seemed to be that thinning your opponents deck is a bad thing. I play donar I my deck tho.
Was gonna ask this too, Donar can discard another ST spell unit
Great point but they would have to play one first
I guess Donar has 1 power less, and most of the times you're going to discard something quite shitty from them. Though some times I've discarded some 20+ Dol Blathanna Protectors from an ST Control deck, felt good, but it's unreliable
In this particular deck cleaver also adds consistency to alzur's double cross. In case you end up with morkvarg or olgierd in hand, adc always pulls cleaver instead of a random 5 strength unit (which would be the case if donar was played instead)
In my opinion Cleaver is better because you don't want to help your opponent thin his deck. Also it's a little bit of an upside that he is played in the meelee row.
