Why you use " Bonesinger Choir " ?
The Choir is there to reduce the cost of both Wildriders. These are the main fighting units in the deck besides the Destructors, but they are expensive, especially the Vyper of course.
Before the Shuriken Catapult was introduced I had two copies of Starcannon instead by the way.
Sure, but 3 reducers for 6 army units looks inconsistent to me.
Indeed, that is certainly not a desirable balance, normally at least, but the six units in question are so good (especially together) that I believe it is worth it in this instance. And three reducers is to maximise the possibility of drawing one (preferably two) during most games. The deck works quite well like that actually.
The overall idea is to let the Eldar do as much of the heavy fighting as possible while having access to DE's evil cardpool.
Same basic Eldar blueprint also works in Aun'shi, Eldorath and even Urien by the way
​
The Bonesinger Choir for 2R will be economically valid if You use it at least twice.
But You have only 6 targets for Choir.
I think You should focus on Salaine and make kabalite / warriors army with some ambush tricks or vehicles under Eldorath's command.
I'm a bit surprised there's no Shadowed Thorns Venom in this deck. It seems like a good fit even though it isn't very Kabalite Heavy (works potential wonders the turn after you ambush in a bunch of the pillagers at a big fight to get them back into the fray again). Also I'm a bit surprised you run Reavers instead of Hellion Gang, they generally prevent warlord sniping about as efficient and has the benefit of activating Morns ability on red planets. Are the Reavers there for just straight up more potential damage?
While I really like the new Venom I consider it a card for the more Kabalite heavy setup such as one running Dying Suns, Rapid Assault, Lotus Rifle and the Flayed Skull Slaver as well.
You might have a point with the Hellion Gang though. The Reavers are certainly there for more straight up damage as you say with the idea being that it's too much for the opponent to deal both with Wildriders and Reavers in a fight.
Hehe, that's exactly the point Xom. Everyone makes Kabalite decks with Salaine and that's all well and good, but I don't think a warlord's ability should be allowed to dictate entirely how one constructs one's deck, especially if some out-of-the-box thinking can make for a strong alternative setup..
I agree that the Eldar vehicles in Eldorath are good too, but even if you were to opt for Dark Eldar as allies you wouldn't get access to cards like Syren Zythlex, Raid or Klaivex Warleader.
While perhaps not perfect, this setup is rather effective in my experience
