Beast master - should I tune it more?
« on: May 14, 2014, 10:52:18 AM »
Hello everyone,

I've just recently changed my beastmaster deck and haven't tried it in real fight yet, but I think the idea should be pretty clear - summon someone big (Grizzly or Cervere) and support it with enchantments, while saving mana for another summon.
I see that this book lacks any attack spells, but that's one of the points - beastmaster should be a man and smash his opponent in the face instead of throwing fireballs like a coward wizard  ;D
I'm also thinking about dropping (harmonized) lair, as I won't be able to summons someone big in the very beginning of the game. But it can really save me ton of actions in case I'm playing against someone who wants to rush into my corner, like warlock or forcemaster.
Any feedback is appreciated.

If your plan is to summon big creatures than for go lair and just cast the creature round 1 or 2, Lair is really only good if you are planning on building a swarm deck and then if that is the case build a Necromancer since they do swarm so much better

Thank you, barriecritzer. After thinking about the deck more I decided that I won't try use swarm strategy in this deck (even though I still wanna try animal swarm with my beastmaster).
So I think that I'll drop the lair and couple of creatures and add some attacks/dispels.
