Urien PlagueBearer Control

Dark Eldar Chaos

One of my two proposal for an Urien Deck: a control-oriented deck, with high command presence, decent offensive DE units, and using Plaguebearers to clean cheap commands unit, making Power from Pain more dangerous. Untested.

This is mostly based on "Taking pleasure from Pain" deck from Kaic, with some ideas I throw on the other Urien deck I made. You use the typical DE command units (Incubi, Sslyth, Syren), along Chaos Fanatics to try and control the Command phase. To that, you add 2 Rotten Plaguebearers, which more than winning command, nullify the enemy command, and at the same time kills enemy command units, giving you better targets for Power from Pain.

For offensive, you use Marksman (which proved to be really powerful on my Kith deck), Bloodied Reavers, Mandrakes, Wracks and, thanks to Kiac deck, Uber Grotesques. I deemed them too expensive, but it is true that, for specific battles, is a great backbone, specially with the amount of shields of this deck.

To add to the mix, the Torture events work as support on the offensive, and partially on the control. Your command presence, paired with PlagueBearers, and early commitments of your Warlord, you should be able to narrow the amount of targets for Power from Pain. Visions of Agony, the Archon's Palace, and again your command presence, should make it so using Searing Brand offensively is actually a possibility.

The main issue I think would be the number of cards. Maybe the command or offensive capability needs more cards to actually work, and maybe this sits on an awkward middle. I have reformed the deck to have more units, and more capping units. 27 units was too low, and even on the deck builder simulator I was having problems gettins a couple of units to cap. Still untested, though.
