April Deck Contest – Results and Decklists
18/04/2020 by Ivko StanilovFellow Spellweavers,
For those of you who missed it, we recently held a deck creativity contest, won by LucyV.
We were initially going to only post the top 3 decks, but after seeing them we can’t help but publish all. Well, except that of Dobrycy, which was clearly sent as a joke.
Some of the decks might not be competitive material, but nevertheless you could use those as deck ideas or just play them for fun.
Thanks for all players who submitted decks, and let’s all enjoy their beautiful creations!
Player: LucyV
Deck Name: Komodo’s Rising
Description: A Wisdom-Rage-Nature deck that makes use of Flaming Aurite and creatures that can deal damage, e.g. Flaming Satyr. It also has an energy sub-theme to make use of Power Shot.
Comments: Looks like a fun and powerful deck, however it might struggle against control decks.
Originality: 5
Strength: 9
Hero: 1x Daris Stormborn
3x Charged Aurite |
4x Power Shot |
Player: VanguardX
Deck Name: Nature-Wisdom Tempo
Originality: 3
Strength: 9
Description: Outvalue your opponents with Ka’ainu, Library Guards, and Timea while keeping them at bay with bounce and freeze.
Comments: The deck is an old time favorite that can shine again after the balance patch, which made on-board attrition decks good again.
Hero: 1x Kaainu, Edge of the Spear
4x Forcemage Protector |
4x Power Discharge |
Player: GARRUK
Deck Name: One-Turn Kill
Description: Set up a single turn kill with Fateful Day and 20 energy on a Wilderness Guardian.
Comments: It looks like some wild fun – when it works. However, the combo setup can take a while and the deck only has Wall in the North + Electrostatic Armor for early defense.
Originality: 9
Strength: 2
Hero: 1x Daris Stormborn
4x New Horizons |
Player: MonkeyArms
Deck Name: Midrange Rage
Description: The classical Rage deck from the early days with Phoenix and Elder Red Dragon, as well as Altar of Dragons for defense or an early dragon drop.
Comments: This Rage deck has competitive potential and is fun to play. Zak’s deck also features a Target Emblem theme with Grulz and a Boar Rider, for which is wins some extra points for style.
Originality: 5
Strength: 7
Hero: 1x Zash the Annihilator
4x Lizard Barbarian |
4x Word of Fire |
Player: Bigmanstark
Deck Name: Power Plants
Description: Plants with implants! Kill your opponent with massive unstoppable Shooting Sprouts.
Comments: It it definitely a deck I would play – it has the nice little combos that are so much fun in a card game. However, it seems to lack resilience and needs Spore Shepherd bad. The card is a must!
Originality: 7
Strength: 4
Hero: 1x Neeva, Child of the Forest
4x Ambushing Sharpshooter |
4x Ambush Strike |
Player: ExarKun
Deck Name: Zash Ramp Dominion
Description: Use Power Surge and red removal in your early game to reach power plays such as Mutant, Battlescarred Elder, Phoenix, Elder Red Dragon, and Karthas.
Comments: Again a deck I would play in a pinch. I think the deck needs some more early plays, and I would definitely bump Eternal Servants to 4 copies. Maybe not ranked material, but it is a nice deck.
Originality: 4
Strength: 6
Hero: 1x Zash the Annihilator
4x Battlescarred Elder |
1x Detonate |
Player: AHamster
Deck Name: Dragon Assault
Description: Play bigger an fatter creatures than the opponent, and remove threats with red removal, Primal Battle, and Dragon Assault.
Comments: An actual dragon deck! Both Khar and Untamed Green Dragon work great with Ka’ainu and you can immediately clear the board afterwards with Dragon Assault.
Originality: 6
Strength: 8
Hero: 1x Kaainu, Edge of the Spear
4x Jungle Deathtrap |
4x Tidal Wave |
Player: Avi4
Deck Name: Angelic Contraptions
Description: What is the coolest card we can pull with Contraptionist? Angelic Temple! Let’s pull as many as possible and then win!
Comments: This deck has so much going on! It brings back Contraptionist in various ways, uses it to fetch Obelisk of Unity and play Dominion cards, it can win against Aggro with lifebound and against control by activaging 3 Angelic Temple at once + Triangelica. Genius!
Originality: 10
Strength: 4
Hero: 1x Hermelion, Hand of Justice
Player: Lirysse
Deck Name: Spirit of the Faeries
Description: Amass flying creatures and unleash powerful Earthquakes and Elgarons!

Originality: 9
Strength: 5
Hero: 1x Neeva the Revered
4x Disquisitive Spirit |
4x Power Discharge |
Player: LusuKing
Deck Name: Voidtouched Decay
Description: Also known as Sneks, this is a one time classic deck that decks your opponent by turning their creatures into Voidtouched Subordinates using Parallel Evolution.
Comments: In strongly believe LusuKing didn’t know this deck existed, so I will award points for originality. The deck is fun to play with, but very unpleasant to play against. Play only if you want your opponents suffer.
Originality: 5
Strength: 6
Hero: 1x Daris, Prodigy of Wisdom
Player: Jeronimo
Deck Name: Mono Wisdom Control
Description: A well-thought Wisdom deck with strong control elements, potent creatures and strong late game boosted by Thaumic Reflector, Steel Sentient + Drone and Magi Expedition.
