As all Dark Eldars deck, try to choke your opponent winning commands.
Warlord
Order by: NameTypeCost
Total Cards: 0
First of all this is an experimental deck, only tested in a few games in OCTGN getting good results (but not tested enough).
The main strategy is to try to win command struggles (like all DE decks) removing all capping units from the opponent. These days, around 80% of the decks are running with a lot of ally cards to cap planets (void pirate, drones, survaivalist...) so you have Despise to force your opponent to sacrifice this kind of unit. Yes, this deck doesn't run any ally like pirates or rogue traders (this is the "anti-meta" part of the title lol) unit except for Razorwings which you can sacrify with no problems beacuse its only utility is to discard a card from your opponent's hand when it enters play. For this purpose we have Rotten Plaguebearers too, using them to deny 1HP capping units in a planet and trying to kill them at the end of the command phase with its ability (is important to use this unit correctly or you will probably lost the command struggle in that planet). As before, you will kill them in the better scene or at least your opponent will be forced to discard another shield.
The other units are cheap units to more denying.
We have Klaivex Warleader to destroy powerful units and Warpstorm to try to kill swarms. And for the rest is like another DE choke deck...
Any advice will be appreciate :)
P.S: Sorry for my english btw P.P.S: Yes, i know there is a lot of theorycrafting there :P
Sample Hand:
Total Shields: 0
Average Shields Per Event/Attachment: 0
Total Command: 0
Average Command Per Unit: 0

Looks cool, altough I expect the Mercs to be dropped sooner or later
.
Cheers,
4/5
Actually, im not convinced 100% about Mercs and thinking about another unit to switch for them.
Maybe Beasthunter Wyches for more command pressence but 3 cost its probably expensive for this deck or Splintererd Path Acolyte...
I'll keep thinking about it
Let us know!
With all respect Id rate it 5/5 if the Mercs and Despise wheren't there but the Pirates and Traders where.
I'll try them today and probably will test tomorrow in a tournament. I'll post results asap
Looking forward to your results.
