Dark Domination
« on: December 16, 2015, 11:52:46 AM »
This is what I'm currently running for Domination. First I'll go ahead and say that since not everyone in my area has access to Domination none of us are using Galaxxus until it's readily available. This book is a work in progress but is showing lots of potential as of late.

How has your infernian scourger done? I've been using this demon a bunch lately, but mostly in a blood reaper context so I'm curious to see how he's been working out for others

Personally I love the scourger. With gator toughness I believe he's quite the problem. One or two can cause a few tough decisions on your opponents part, that counterstrike is super useful. With bear strength that counter attack is 5 dice every. time and that adds up. They are harder to keep alive than a dark pact slayer or a blood demon, but they are also replaceable and tough enough to be annoying. Still experimenting as well but for what it's worth I like them

I've only run him once and he did pretty well actually. He came in later in the game after I'd done a decent job of wiping out two swarms to manageable levels. He bolstered my slightly better off forces. I'm debating a Rhino Hide or yeah Gator Toughness as it's coming out of my Beast Master book anyway.

I'd cut a firebrand or two for more wildfire imps. They are pretty dang amazing for Domination.

In addition, I recommend dropping some of that armor. Most of the time you won't need in Domi, if you're worried about burst damage then put in some Brace Yourselves and try to outlast them, which is what will probably happen if you're playing for orbs and they aren't.

Also, some elusive cards will help out. Once they kill a slack you can teleport an imp over and smack the orb past their guard to deny them those valuable v'tar.

Looks fun, let us know how it goes!

I'll likely drop one of the suits of armor. The Firebrand Imps are getting chosen over the Wildfire. Yeah the teleport is nice but honestly the maps aren't that big and I'm getting better mileage out of Firebrands. Also when I do a big zone attack I like having Fire Immune creatures in the zone. So Elusive will likely make it's way in too.

Between the two, at least in Arena so I can't speak for Domination, I'm a MUCH bigger fan of firebrand imps purely because of the burn chance.

I've got the Wildfire in there to go troll peoples orbs of course but I don't rely on them doing any actual work other than that.
