I like your Glaaki deck! You could maybe reduce some of the unique 3 cost cards and replace them with 1 cost characters such as new Professor Peaslee?

Good idea. I didn't think of him as he's in another deck (and I don't like to proxy). But it might be fun with Faceless Abductor, and Lord Jeffrey shenanigans. Even with Initiation of Glaaki / Ramsdale Brown. Expensive, but fun.

Protector of Secrets is a pretty useful 2 cost Silver Twilight card. Getting this guy down 1st turn can often lead to an unopposed story and the refresh.

Hermetic Seal is absolutely a fantastic card, a little 'broken' for my tastes, and should be in any Silver Twilight deck. A card that is indestructable to non night cards, is not unique, costs 1, stops 'enters play' effects, and returns to the hand if it does so. Yes please ! I'll have 3 !!

I've pretty much abandoned having more than 4 or 5 cards in a deck that have 'enters play' abilities based on the strength and overuse this card will receive. They might as well un-restrict Museum Curator because he's just been shafted anyway. Haha.

Well done on the deck and have lots of fun refining it and building the next one !!

Current changes to the deck:
- 1 Carl Stanford
- 1 Lord Jeffrey Farrington
- 1 Sarah Van Shaw
- 1 Pulled from the beyond
+ 3 Professor Nathaniel Peaslee
+2 Pushed into the beyond

At 51 cards now. Maybe I should cut a Ramsdale Brown as well...

You can use Salvatore Neri to copy the text box from a Servant of Glaaki. It would require you to include a conspiracy though.

Yeah, but then I'd have to include stuff like Ol' lazy eyes and maybe keeper of the silver sphere as well. That would turn it into a different deck. 3 doppelgangers and 3 servants should enable me to get it to 4 at least, maybe to 3 even...

Yes, it would a change to the deck. I still like it though, so might give it a try.

The deck would probably something like this then:

Character
Doppelganger (TWB) x3
Glaaki (AoA) x2
Servants of Glaaki (AoA) x3
Magical Theorist (TUP) x3
B. Ramsdale Brown (TKatG) x2
Lord Jeffrey Farrington (TOotST) x2
Guardian of Dawn (TiV) x3
Sarah Van Shaw (WoP) x2
Professor Nathaniel Peaslee (TKatG) x2
Salvatore Neri (TiV) x3
Ol' Lazy Eyes (CoC) x3
Keeper of the Silver Sphere (TOotST) x3

Support
Rite of the Silver Gate (TKatG) x3
Hermetic Seal (TiV) x3
The Doorway (TBJ) x2
T'tka Halot (WaB) x2

Event
Initiation of Glaaki (AoA) x2
Steal the Soul (TOotST) x2
Pushed into the Beyond (TbtA) x3

Conspiracy
The Mage's Machinations (TiV) x2


Removed Carl Stanford as with Salvator Neri we're making the summoning of Glaaki a higher priority. I also removed Faceless Abductor and Zanni to make room for Ol' Lazy eyes and keeper of the silver sphere (lodge for Sarah and T'tka Halot).

Not sure if the machination is the best conspiracy in this deck though...


I'll need to see how both of these play. Most of my decks are now conspiracy decks though, so I'll need to print some Ol'lazy eyes ;-)

Might be easier to play Seeker of Mysteries instead of Neri, but Neri seems more fun.

If you were still interested in keeping the deck non-conspiracy (as it seems you had to make a few detrimental Character swaps to make it happen), you could always just slip in a couple of Fleeting Guise's for when the time is right for the Summoning. This is quite a handy Spell as you can also use it to copy the whole card including icons for some sneaky in story trickery instead of just the text box. Your deck has also become substantially weaker in the low end for speed and the Faceless Abductors bluffing ability. Just my perspective on things in any case. See how you go with both versions though and the truth will be in the telling which not only plays better, but which you enjoy playing the most.

Just a word of warning about Sarah Van Shaw as well, from some unpleasant experiences. It can be a bit dangerous banking on her gifted icons when going in to stories so just be careful around undrained Domains. A clever opponent might wait for you to do so and then remove Sarah after you've committed, leaving the other Lodge Characters with their robes around their ankles.

Yeah, that is one of the reasons I have The Doorway in the deck. Might not be enough though. I even thought about removing the doorway in the Neri-conspiracy build. Maybe it's best to remove them and keep Faceless Abductor in the deck?

Fleeting Guise is another good option, and I've already thought about it. Might be good in the first build as well, turning Carl into a temporary servant of glaaki ;-) . It just seems expensive though, and I don't want the deck to rely on getting Glaaki out (using too many cards to be able to play the one unique card). It should still function even if I don't draw Glaaki.

Best advice is just to play the deck as much as you can and find out what works and what doesn't. Most decks I build have around 70 - 80 cards that could happily fit into those coveted 50 places, so all you can do is try out an initial build, tweak, play, tweak, play, tweak, play..............

Thinking of adding Josef Meiger. Fetching Rite of the Silver Gate, the doorway and hermetic seal might be fun.

I'm working on similar deck. I like Eidolon as a reactive card against targeted removal in this deck. Its a neutral one so it should be a sourcing problem but rather give you more flexibility the first couple of turns. and when removal hits you, you get the card back minus the icons but keeping skill and the text and gaining invulnerability. Particularly keeping the text is important for this deck. Triggering a new bounce with Jeffrey, Gaining the icons again with Sarah... getting servants of glaaki back reducing cost for glaaki and netting more terror to your other Glaaki, also servants of Glaaki still has terror if it returns from the grave with eidolon... But you cant use it on doppelganger can you ?(Initiate is my choice of restricted and I also go for many angled thing and some more cards that have a powerful come into play effect making eidolon an even more powerful choice

Isn't that the job for B. Ramsdale Brown? He can get back anything. I'll admit that a 1-cost event for characters sounds interesting, particularly in a deck with characters with important text boxes... And yes, the doppelganger will not trigger when played from the graveyard with Eidolon.

I prefer many angled thing as well, but the 3-cost slot is crowded and I use him in a different deck.


With Josef Meiger, I will probably cut Initiations of Glaaki for cursed skull. So maybe Eidolon is a good way of getting the servants back when needed.
