This is my laziest deck to date. I just got MotD and would like to make decks, but my brain has been a bit fried lately. I couldn't even be bothered to use cards with colored backgrounds. They're all gray. Heck, I didn't put any thought into the capital board to use. Well. Shoot.

There are three copies of each card listed.

Skinks of Sotek
Skink Skirmishers
Spawn of Itzl
Saurus Warriors
Temple Guard
Carnosaur Rider
Loqtza
21 units

Blood Shrine of Sotek
Cloak of Feathers
Scout Camp
Contested Village
Warpstone Excavation
15 support

Blessed Spawning
Savage Rush
Born Predators
Order in Chaos
Animosity
15 tactics

51 total cards. The variant of this deck is called Kermit and Miss Piggy. Add three Boar Attacks. 54 total cards.
I know this deck probably skinks. I think I may use this as a pre pre tutorial deck for non LCG/CCG gamer friends, due to its ease of play.

I haven't had a huge amount of inspiration with the Lizards yet but I know this... to make the best use of Savage you need to be able to damage the Lizards without them dying (in which case Savage doesn't go off IIRC.)

Some options to accomplish this (really rough brainstorming. Very odd looking for ways to damage your own units.)

HIGHELF

LOREMASTER OF HOEDETH - Two indirect damage you can place on Lizards to use Savage. Turns indirect damage into direct damage and may multiple it if Savage is greater than 1.

DWARF

MASTER RUNE OF SMITE - Deals damage to each unit equal to its power... triggering Savage which can probably finish off any enemy units who weren't

BLESSING OF VALYA - Redirect two damage from 1 unit to another unit. Redirect to a Savage creature.

LURE THEM OUT - Pick a unit that won't kill your Savage creature... the two damage each other, engage Savage.

STUBBORN REFUSAL - Move damage from 1 unit to another Savage unit in corresponding zone... then Savage.

DWARF RANGER - When a dwarf unit enters the discard pile deal 1 damage to a Savage creature and engage Savage. Only works if Savage is greater than 1 multiplying the Dwarf Ranger's damage.

EMPIRE

DEMORALIZE - Two less damage might mean the difference between a savage defender living an dying. If it lives it gets to savage.

ULRIC'S FURY - Give units counter strike 1. May be enough to take out some opponent units and let a unit with Savage survive. Pretty situational.

WAR MACHINE EMPLACEMENT - Deals two damage to an attacking unit. Possibly used to insight Savage?

WARRIOR PRIESTS - First point of damage is reassigned to a target Savage unit in your battlefield?

NEUTRAL

ANIMOSITY - Force a unit that cannot kill you to defensd against you Savage unit and trigger Savage?

SURPRISE ASSAULT - You could target yourself with this placing damage on Savage creatures and turning the indirect damage to direct damage.

ANCIENT WAYSTONES - Target a Savage unit you control with the damage to engage Savage.

MARIUS THE RIGHTEOUS - Deals damage to corrupted units in battlefield? Is it worth dropping a Warpstone Excavation into the battlefield for this options? Probably not?

SKINKS OF SOTEK - Deal 1 uncancelable damage to your Savage buddies and multiply the damage if Savage is greater than 1.

TEMPLE GUARD - Let's you redirect damage from 1 unit to another unit (preferably with Savage).

I also think healing these guys would be useful... but healing is so sub par in the game as is I just don't know if its worth it?

This doesn't work, as moving damage isn't dealing damage, no Savage triggering.

Good catch!

But, but... this is a joke deck.

So far, I think the threat of Savage is more effective than Savage itself. A Savage Counterstrike deck could be fun, though. Barbarian Empire.

Joke or not... it was fun thinking of ways to use Savage... something I've been wanting to figure out. Want to make a Lizard deck but just haven;t had a good idea yet.
