Great deck, thanks for sharing!
Congratulations, Elmios, I really enjoyed your videos too! What is your opinion on the Standard Bearer? With the dmg boost, I think it would be the best with Mavros among the marine warlords. Except for the ECTs what are your arguments for allying with Tau?
I have tested it for a few games and it was really good. But too much ambush leads to less stability in the starting hand. And for a tourney stability is the key ! I would maybe better add it in Cato than Mavros, because Cato can produce ressources and indomitable, drop pod,... use them ! Not so easy to keep 3 ressources in combat phase.
So why Tau alliance ? I love the Vashya/Librarian combo. Add to it a drop pod or recruit and you can easily secure a planet (without terror) The second key point is the ECT. Getting an attachement help stability. Turn 1 ECT with promotion is very nice. I usually add some Tense Nego too but for this tournament i did prefere adding No Mercy to handle Elites. With all the spike damage of Mavros it is really worth it. I did bloody opponent warlord Turn1 on 2/6 games (OOE and Kugath), for 2 others it was very close (Cato, Worr). That's so strong !
Great job Elmios!
@Szatom Standard Bearer has been rocking my Mavros deck so bad it hurts! My iteration is the ambushiest craziness there can be and I've gone 18-2 so far on OCTGN. Definately like Mavros a lot!
If you look at all the deck I have played in BCL on my youtube channel (got the decklist on left side of screen), you will see i have a lot of variation in it. So it really make sense depending on what you think of the meta.
But ambush and sniping is great in current meta cause Elite can't be target with suppressive fire anymore (too much risk of Backlash), so best option is to focus and one shot them.
Quite true about pressure on P1. I play aggressive, but in fact that's something i learned with Orks which has been my main faction till begining.
The benefit of playing aggressivly is that you control the game. The opponent must use his best card to win key planets and then you can prepare winning on the planet you desire most.
Almost identical to my build, except I didn't use no mercy. Never really found I wanted it, although I could see it being good vs elites.
This tools are great both for warlord pressure and elite hunt.
Bloodying warlords like Kugath T1 is always nice
Tried your deck and can only approve it. Works good against elites. I normally Play 3 calculated strikes, however this seems not to be necessary in this build. No mercy is Gold!
Thx ! There is so much fire power that if there is not an elite swarm, they have no chance to resist ! Calculated strike can help to avoid this swarm by killing STC.
About last packs in France we are still to 1st pack on cycle so I haven't tried so much with new packs. Jumpack is a nice addition instead of iron halo depend on meta call.
I will keep you informed after testing !
