I finally decided to keep one of the Ishaia's I've bought and make an original deck with her. The new Witchblades motivated me to do it. I fooled around with Keeping Moira and Eglantyne separate along with Anazra. The deck was pretty fun but lacked the offense necessary to really compete. However, it did help me realize how good ice shield can be. So this is what I came up with:
Characters:
Ishaia
Eglantyne
Moira
Cards:
3 Ice Barrier
3 Ice Shield
3 Life Devourer
2 Manipulations
2 Overwhelming Victory
1 A New Start
1 Hungry Void
1 Magic Attack
1 Freeze!
1 Lightning Bolts
1 Magic Shield
1 Tadaa!
The 1 of cards are extremely sketchy at this point. I haven't played enough games with the deck to really flesh out what works best. The Overwhelming Victories and Magic Shield might look weird but those are mainly to give me a chance against Noz (Haven't tested against Noz yet but I'm not expecting big things). The first 14 cards I listed though are pretty set. Ishaia and her unbalanced +1 to everything is the center of the deck. Turn 1 Ice Barrier and Manipulation is almost a game winner. Chaining Ice Shield to Life Devourer is the goal with the two sisters. After just 1 Ice Barrier on Ishaia, the sisters get up to 6 def each. Their attack is super low but the +3 from the daggers is enough to punch through almost every deck you'll face, especially if you manage to get 2 of them on one sister. Needless to say, you'll be in for some long games as the deck has very little offense but amazing defense. I've never gotten so many people leaving games as with this deck. It has weaknesses, mostly to noz mage, but also if Ishaia gets one shot (which is really hard to do). Some other cards I've been thinking of adding are the Calling, Storm, and maybe the Best Defense.
Messing around with Ice Shield I learned that it deals 2 dmg for each physical attack. This means each time you are dealt physical dmg. The saps double attack counts as physical dmg. I've one shot Meli before by playing just one Ice Shield. It's pretty funny. Anyways, hope you like the deck and I would love to hear any thoughts on it, positive or negative. Cartel
