Title: Blasting Banker: The Real New Deck!
Post by: Reddicediaries on January 31, 2017, 06:36:38 PM
I think I managed to do it! The book is almost finished. Things I see:
Fire protection
More attack spells
Gloves of skill
Note: This version has no curses (magebane, ghoul rot) Might be looking to add some back in.

As I said, I need more attack spells. Any card suggestions?

Why? I have enough dissolves for everything!  :) What would I take out for it?

Boulders. I mean honestly they're expensive but they're super good.

Lightning bolts are in school though and can be buffed through ring and staff of storms.
Note: This book seems to be more like charm's later version: more rhino hide regrowth, no curses.

Range 2. Can be used from a tower which gives you 2 actions.
Also works on creatures and conjurations

1 Acid ball will just go away if used on the tower.

Ok, if you want points for a proper blast you've gotta pull some stuff. I suggest you pull 1X dissolve, chitin armor, mage wand, wizards tower, Staff of storms, regrowth, and agony. That should give you about 14 points to work with. Add in spells that will kill the mage. Boulders and acid balls are good for raw damage and guaranteed direct damage respectively. Fireballs are a good choice for possible sustained damage overall and maybe that extra necessary damage point or two at upkeep. In fact if you drop the staffs and the bolts altogether you save 6 more SP and with the other 14 that's 20 points for attack spells. Id also add a hawkeye and a marked for death. That's 4 so now spend up those 16 on 2 fireballs, a hurl boulder, and 2 acid balls. This will ensure that when you want to kill the other guy you can pull the trigger for 4 dice acid balls or 8 dice fireballs or boulders and really make the RNG work for you. That's just my opinion though, take it for what it is. Book looks good

You can carry more than 1.

If you go with Staff of Storms - Jet Stream is the nuts, and more Lightning Bolts.

Hawkeye and Akiro´s Favor.

Actually i would move almost all the defensive stuff and put in offensive stuff instead.

But i know the point of this book is to outlast the opponent by undoing everything and then kill him.

If you really want to do that all you need is zap, and have a way to stop healing. A Paladin with consegrated ground and a healing aura - could be hard to kill without offence.

Well the banker focuses the down in 2-3 rounds, giving them less time to react. As opposed to something which tries to kill you in 6-7 rounds, the banker gives you less time to heal/ properly protect yourself.
