[Deck] SpellMonk

By Guest, in Warhammer Invasion Deck Building

Hi folks! :)

I can't stop tryn' new stuff :)

Now you know that I like weird decks and a try to experiment a bit...Here we have another strange creature :)

The idea is not that strange, actually...

Like every other idea, it started as a joke...I started thinkin' about it at 5:00 a.m. some weeks ago, after some playtesting...Now a friend of mine created his own version and it seems pretty efficient...Now, I'm workin' on mine.

The deck is built around the "Monk" (the only skaven I'd like to play, as someone knows, I don't play Skaven for my personal "choice" :) ). The Monk is not a "common" skaven and its effect it's pretty amazing.

The build is on a "for fun" level still...But I'd really like to tune it a bit.

Never tested, just created the list and did a bunch of "trial opening hands". :)

The list:

Caos/Dark Elf (Caos Capital)

UNITS 14

3x Walking Sacrifice

3x Plague Monk

3x Bloodsworn

3x Vile Sorceress

2x Mortella

SUPPORTS 21

3x Har Ganeth

3x Warpstone Excavation

3x Cloud of Flies

3x Contested Village

3x Warpstone Meteor

3x Ancient Waystone

3x Caos/Dark Elf Alliance

TACTICS 15

3x Chillwind

3x Dark Visions

3x Call the Blood

3x Flames of Tzeentch

3x Tzeentch's Firestorm

QUESTS 2

2x Infiltrate!

TOT 52

The best thing with this kind of building is that the oppo doesn't know exactly what's coming on... :) Har Ganeth bounces back stuff, Vile Sorceress helps it with Cloud of Flies, different removals to clean the table, Mortella to play back oppo's discarded tactics, Infiltrate! as an endless threat (pretty awesome turn 1 start with Walking Sacrifice), the Monk is there to discard.

Suffers a lot from mass removal (2/3 turns needed to setup...A Verena is a game loss here).

That's the idea...Let's improve it!

Thanks

Bye

why don't you post it on our comunity forum neph? :P i'm sure you gonna find many cool replyes.

Anyway with Charun several days ago we were thinking about a discard-deck all built around infiltrate/plague monk and few more stuffs from de/chaos. i'll let you know which change i'd like to try on this list.

I have been playing a mono-chaos deck similar to this for a few weeks. It is absolutely my favorite deck and is a lot of fun to play. It has stablized in games that I thought I had no chance and has won far more often than I expected. Like you said, it is not the best against anything with mass removal (Troll Vomit/Judgement of Verena), but it has done ok against most other things. This is the list off the top of my head:

3 - Plague Monk

3 - Blood Sworn

3 - Chaos Spawn

3 - Festerlng Nurglings

2 - Savage Maraders

2 - Dark Zealot

3 - Infiltrate

3 - Warpstone Excavation

3 - Contested Village

3 - Ancient Waystone

3 - Innovation

3 - Seduced by Darkness

3 - Flames of Tzneetch

3 - Tzneetch's Firestorm

2 - Nurgles Pestilance

3 - Cloud of Flies

3 - Bolt of Change

It needs some work for sure, but it really needs some new chaos units that dont exist yet :)

Nice list...Was thinkin' about a mono-Caos version...I'll try it!!! :)

Anyway, you got PERFECTLY the basic problem: Units.

You HAVE to stay low on Units and it would be a lot better if we had more Caos options...I don't know...Some "solid" Units. Bloodsworn is one of the best, especially for its great interaction with Caos shots (CoF on top)...Savage Marauders is a bit risky (Har Ganeth, Vile Sorceress, We Need Your Blood), but it's a choice to speed things up...

I like the new small guy (corrupt to lower the cost by 1 of the next C Unit)...IT's a great boost but I'd prefer some good solid Caos Units. The result is that the risk is not to have a good alternative winning condition. :(

Anyway, I saw some good stuff coming in the new BPs and things will get better for our Red/BLoody folks... :)
