Urien loves Elites. What about yourself?
Warlord
Order by: NameTypeCost
Total Cards: 0
8 cards starting hand helps having a decent one. The point is obviously to have a STC in starting hand, with an elite or with a good command line to be able to get that Elite you'll need. Venomous Fiends is of course the star of this deck, along with possessed to put pressure especially when you have initiative. So why Urien would you ask? 1) Visions of Agony for 2 res that allow you to know what your opponent will do during key moments. 2) PfPain that can clean a board early in game, and that can deal with other elites decks aswell. 3) The surprise itself. Most of opponents did not really know what to expect, and what to do agst it, untill a possessed says "Hi!".
Sample Hand:
Total Shields: 0
Average Shields Per Event/Attachment: 0
Total Command: 0
Average Command Per Unit: 0
Well done. What gave you the most trouble with this deck?
It needs its command line, so when overrun on command it has some difficulties to be efficient.
The huge advantage I had is that most of the tier 1 decks I've encountered were classical (I mean no real surprise) so it was not that difficult to remove the right cards with "visions of agony".
On the other hand, with all the informations you can get through visions and oubliette, it takes some times to get tracks of all of that.
About unconventional deck Skynight, I think the meta is evolving to be more "elite friendly". Any faction and any warlord can now play with elites (that does not mean they are egals;P), the point will be to find the most efficient way to do so...and find combos with some Wl's stuff and some elites;)
Backlash or not backlash is a good question. Several reasons for no backlash:
1) lack of room.
2) costs 2
3) I'm DE, am I afraid of Klaivex from others? No, I'm the one playing them;P So shall I play 3, 2 costs backlash to counter 3 possible archons or suppressive, well I took the bet not to count on it, no false hopes;)
4) Most of my opponents (well some told me so, so I assume most of them did) were expecting Backlash, so the pressure was on their shoulders, not mine;), added to that, they knew I've seen their hand....It helps beeing ready for the battle.

Finished 4/1 during rounds, losing to Kith.
Top 8 was:
Kith x3, Cato x2, Mavros, Shadowsun, Urien.
First round won agst Kith, semi finals won agst Cato and lost agst Shadowsun during finals.
Well done mate, Urien can really shine in an Elite driven meta!!
hmmm...no backlash?
Grats on a fine performance Therion! Nice to hear Urien beat some tier 1 warlords in a big tournament
Your deck seems a little unconventional too.. I don't believe I've seen a Urien Elite setup before. Very nice indeed!
