This week's release of new cards saw Kounok the Prophet introduced (Pause for much rejoicing from Ray). He becomes the third available dragon knight. Not only does he complete the set, he actually makes the team viable in elo. A sample deck would go something like this:
Characters:
Kounok the Prophet
Valentin
Zahal (Non-suck version)
Cards:
2 Than the Sword
2 Pen is Mightier...
3 Draconian Sword
3 Dragon Armor
3 Magic Attack
2 Pink Rabbit
3 Presence of the Dragon
1 Best Defense....
1 Tadaa...
I played against one full DK deck this week. The deck thrives on shared buffs. You have 3 swords that boost everyone's stats, along with Kounok the Prophet giving the other 2 characters +1 attack and +1 def right from the get go. What really helps this deck is the fact that Zahal can chain armor and Valentin can chain swords. Imagine winning the initiative and drawing a sword and armor. Zahal chains the armor into the sword, swing for between 8/9, then heals for 4 after the battle. Next turn, Valentin is sitting at 8/10 with 5 def and Kounok the Prophet is 6/9 with 4 def. The constant heals and added def make this team a tough one to take down. They are still a little weak against mages but hey, who isnt? Hopefully someone in the group will be able to form this deck and get down to real testing. I think it has promise. My match against it was close, and the opposing player didn't get a very good draw. We may have to wait until the next Dragon Knight addition (Whenever that is) for the deck to really shine. Even still, it looks pretty nice.
I've only played against one fully built DK deck this week, and it was played by a high level French player, Canard. It looked well put together, but just wasn't polished yet. I'm eager to see if anyone can really turn the DK into a deck that makes you worry when the game starts, because as it is now, it's just not intimidating.
ReplyDeleteI would remove some of the spells. The Last Word? What for? :o You cannot chain it to anything and only as a defense spell... Meh.

3x dragon's wit
2x dragon armor
3x pen is mightier
3x than the sword
3x magic attack
