Order defense against Skaven and Sknicht

By Rezoh, in Warhammer Invasion Deck Building

Hello there!

We are tunning our decks for the coming tournaments here in Spain and I have found a High elf deck that works pretty nice against those pesky skavens. If Im able to survive 4 turns I usually win. Problem comes with Sknicht, that damned assassin always destroys my defenses. What solutions against him have you found as Order?

Im considering adding 2x Marius the righteous but its nit a great hero.

Any suggestions stopping ork/skaven rush as order?

1- Blessing of Isha

2- zealot hunter

A must be card is Zealot Hunter. Against Sniktch is good card Blessing of Isha from High Elves. And good combo is Dwarf Ranger with Grudge Thrower. And Elven cancels like Asuryan´s Cleasing.

Asuryan cleansing is a "false good card" against such deck, I mean you will never force an opponent to cancel something he wants to play. You will just sometimes gain 1 turn (and not in most of case) and for that you have a dead card in your hand (I mean this card is not enougth efficient).

It's a very good card against control deck but a poor card against fast deck.

Can I put a blessing of Isha on Sknicht to avoid his skill???? Didnt knew that :-S

As you have to corrupt him to destroy a target unit, if you can not corrupt him, you can not destroy a target unit gui%C3%B1o.gif

It also works on mortella and harpies.

For remember :

Limit one hero per zone. Destruction only. Action: Corrupt this unit to destroy one target unit with fewer remaining HP than the number of Skaven cards in play.

hey Rezoh, would you mind to give away some insights on your order deck? i would be really grateful. I was not able to stop these pesky skaven with anything order yet :(

Blessing of Isha is great for counter-Sniktch. Also try the High Elf Support card "Dragon Mage Awakening" as it bumps up your Hit Points making it far tougher for Sniktch to kill anyone right away. Delay tactics are huge for the High Elves (obviously). :)

Zealot Hunter, too, of course. Those three are definitely his bane at the moment.
