Ok since I started playing shadow era (since July 2011) I've always played with Mage class of Heros/decks and thought that Eldawen was the best hero no question, even when Amber had the ability of +2 attack back when the game first came out and before they started Nerfing good cards. Now this past weekend I bought about 20 bucks worth of booster packs and started to play around with Amber a little bit and I'm calling it now.....Amber will be the best hero in the entire game flat out no 2 ways about it since most people are led to beileve that Eldawen is getting Nerfed when 1.30 comes out. Bellow is the deck Im currently using with amber and think this deck alone will get me into the 200's for ranking since Eldawen got me to 187 and can't seem to get any better untill now.
Hero:Amber Rain
Ally's:(18x)
4x-Jasmine Rosecult
4x-Kristoffer Wyld
4x-Birgitte Skullborn
3x-Raven wildheart
3x-Aldon the brave
Weapons:(8x)
4x-Jewelers Dream
2x-Duel Wield
2x-Rusty Longsword
Items/Abilitys:(13x)
3x-Smashing Blow
2x-Enrage
4x-Retreats
4x-Blood Frenzy
Total Cards=40
So this is the deck. To be honest I've had time to play one match against a no ally DarkClaw deck and after the 5th turn the guy didnt stand a chance once is big teeth got canned lol, anyway I know its only one match but overall I think this is a good starting point. Weapons are gunna be needed big time by the time 1.30 is here so get them while you can before prices go up. Mages will be weak compared to how they are now and both Amber and Boris are gunna be the top 2 hero in the meta game when ever they release 1.30, tell me what ya guys think. Post your decks, I'm always happy to help anyone out. Most of my decks have a aggro theme to them cause I believe to flood the board with guys and make the other player make a mistake and pounce on him when they do.....and take my word alot of players out there make alot of mis plays.
Thanks,steve.
