Long Time No See!!!

Hello to all fellow FoW Players!
Firstly i am so sorry to not having this blog updated for past weeks,
It's because i'm on my holiday tour to Europe, while Chris was out of the town too,
With no stable internet connection..
So voila, no posts can be posted while we're busy with our own time.
And next happy independence day to Indonesia, and Korea which is on the same month of my birthday too, on August.

Not to disappoint you all guys,
I decided to write about This Month's Deck of the Month!!

This deck is quite a high level strat decks,
Which requires you to think and analyze not just your cards,
But your opponent's as well.

So here it is :

Loki Skeleton 
Made by : Mr. Supangkat
Perfected by : Mr. Santosa

Ruler : Devil King of Antiquity, Loki

Resonators : 32
4x Twin Bladed Corpse
4x Jet Black Knight, Bartz
2x Songstress' Lady Attendant
4x Skeleton Soldier
4x Corpse Cavalry
4x Orpheus
4x Ruler of the Underworld, Death
4x King of Disgrace, Wight 
2x Goddess of Tragic Love, Morrigan

Spells : 8
1x Pledge of Dark Night
1x Culling the Weak
2x Unknown Encounter
2x Kiss of Death
2x Black Sun

Magic Stones : 15
10x Darkness
5x Water

For now, let's see through the deck.

Of course for a Darkness themed Deck, the best choice for Ruler is Garmheld x Loki

Corpse King, Garmheld

Ruler : Skeleton
Attribute : Darkness
Judgement Condition : Pay 1000 Life Points

<Condition> Pay 400 Life Points : Produce 1Darkness. This Ability may only be used once per turn.

Devil King of Antiquity, Loki

J-Ruler : Deity
Attribute : Darkness
ATK / DEF : 800 / 100

<Continuous> This card's DEF is added by the number of cards in your Graveyard, multiplied by 100.

<Enter> Look at the top 10 cards of your Main Deck. Choose 1, put it into your hand. Put the rest in your Graveyard.

<Condition> Remove a Resonator card in your Graveyard from the game : Deal 100 damage to all Resonators.


As we all already know, Garmheld's effect can be used to summon Darkness Resonators.
The Composition of Magicstones too, is 1:2,
Which is to avoid getting Water Magicstones in the first turn, and getting it right on the 3rd or 4th turn.
Which is great timing to summon both Songstress' Lady Attendant and Orpheus

Songstress' Lady Attendant
Resonator : Mermaid
Cost : 1Water
ATK / DEF : 200 / 200

<Condition> Destroy this card : Put this card face down at the bottom of your Life Break area. You cannot use this ability when there are 4 cards in your Life Break area.

Orpheus
Resonator : Harlequinn
Cost : 1Water 2Other
ATK / DEF : 400 / 400

<Enter> You may put the top card of your Life Break Area to the top of your Main Deck. If you do, choose a card in your Hand and put it at the bottom of your Life Break Area.


Just by seeing these cards should've given you the idea,
About how to play this deck right?
Well and another thing is
While getting ready using first drops Skeleton Resonators such as Twin Blade Corpse, and Skeleton Soldier,
Keeping much more Skeletons in the Graveyard and use Orpheus' or Unknown Encounter's effect to put the Skeleton Soldier into the Life Break Area, and whether to pump it up by using Songstress' Lady Attendant's effect, it's a whole lot of choice.

Unknown Encounter
Spell : Chant
Attribute : Water
Cost : 2Water 1Other

You may put the top card of your Life Break Area to the top of your Main Deck. If you do, choose a card in your Hand and put it at the bottom of your Life Break Area, then Draw a card.

<Break> Draw a card

Skeleton Soldier
Resonator : Skeleton
Cost : 1Darkness
ATK / DEF : 200 / 200

<Break> Summon all [Skeleton] from your Graveyard without paying their cost.

We can say that this is the one of the winning condition in this deck.
It can be easily put into the Life Break Area when you got it in your hands,
Because of the Water cards.

And to either search this card or the blue cards you needed to begin the combo,
You can activate Garmheld's Judgement anytime you like.
Judgement it into Loki will not disappoint you in any way..

Because of :
1. You can search the pieces cards for the combo
2. You got a beater-defender of 800/1000 if you got nothing in your Graveyard before the Judgement
3. Mass removal with Loki's Effect
4. A chance to put more Skeleton in the Graveyard
5. Reducing more of your Life Points to activated the Breaks

Either by focus on the Skeleton Soldier's Break effect,
Or just control the Field with Loki, and Death's effect
Since Death can be put on the Life Break Area too, by the Water cards of course..

Ruler of the Underworld, Death
Resonators : Skeleton
Cost : 1Darkness 2Other
ATK / DEF : 400 / 400

<Continuous> When this card is blocked, target opponent Player discards a card.

<Condition> Discard a [Skeleton] from your Hand : This card gains [+200 / +200]

<Break> Destroy 2 target Resonators
(Copying from my JoeyJY's 300613 Card of the Week)

Just note, that this card's <Break> effect requiring you to destroy 2 Resonators, 

Not just your opponent's Resonator,

so if your opponent only got 1 Resonator, 

you have to destroy 1 of your own too.

in case there is only 1 Resonator total in both field,

the <Break> will not take effect.

Because it requires you to exactly destroy 2 Resonators

pros : 

+ <Break> Effect is very good if the condition is met

+ Almost unblockable (not if opponent doesn't care with his hand)

+ A skeleton, can be summoned via Skeleton Soldier's <Break> effect

+ <Condition> effect is really good too. A very good [Skeleton] buff 

cons :

- <Break> effect is stupid if your opponent only got 1 Resonator. Worse if you don't have any too..

- ATK and DEF is quite low considering its will costs. 

- Not very good card to use in other than Darkness deck, or [Skeleton] deck. until now, viable only with Water engines.

Focusing with Death's effects and biting the enemies with Loki while controlling the field with Loki's Effect is playable too.

Just think about this. 

You got Death and Loki on the Field.

Loki can easily remove Resonators to clean the Field while Death can discard [Skeleton] Resonators anytime so he won't die easily, and of course, giving Loki more food to buff his DEF and to remove more Resonators

Moving on next to the spells

Of course it's only natural for Darkness Deck to use Darkness Staple Cards like Kiss of Death, and Pledge of Dark Night, and Culling the Weak. 

But not all Darkness Deck can use Black Sun easily.

It's just because, in this deck, Black Sun gives Advantages more than the Disadvantages.

why?

1. This deck usually can control the game, after turn 4 or 5, while after that you can cast the Black Sun

2. The Black Sun can be easily searched by Loki's Effect just to make sure your opponent isn't ready to take the blast.

3. This Deck doesn't use much Will, using it mostly only to use the Water cards, summoning some Resonator which is not necessary, and lastly, to cast Black Sun

4. Almost all decks die by Black Sun

5. You can use 2 copies of Black Sun in 1 deck, just in case 1 is in the Life Break Area.

So for those who are too lazy to read the long post,

I will make it simple and quick

- This deck consists of Skeletons (ugly ones), the Goddess Morrigan, and some Water Cards.

- This deck can win either by controlling your Life Break Area with Skeleton Soldier, or by manual hitting your opponent till he/she die with Loki and etc, and also controlling Life Break Area with Death.

- This deck can easily lose to Chronos Mill Deck. why?

 They don't hit you, and just let you mill.. You lose so many cards, (a good thing if you mill Skeletons), but also won't let you break easily. So basically just hope you can put Skeleton Soldier on the very top of the Life Break Area. LOL

- Easily, too, burned by Burn Deck

- Can control easily with Loki and Death, and of course the almighty Black Sun (Let's start worship the sun..)

- A quite strat-making deck.. good for thinking players.

- Not too high budgeted deck, but good luck in finding Lokis

- Good for those who want to try MultiElement Deck

This is all, August's Deck of the Month

Special thank for Agung Saputra Santosa for letting us check and discuss this deck.

Overall, this Deck is recommended to all players, since the cards are easily found within all the box,

Quite fun to play, and to make the strats.

Judgement Days, hosted by JoeyJY

Let's do the Judgement!

Deck of the Month June Edition !!

Hello Readers, it's me Christian Again
Kinda Curious about Deck of the Month?
Don't Worry.. Without no Delay


DECK OF THE MONTH JUNE EDITION !!

Arthur's Army
by : Nicolas Gunawan

Ruler : King of Knights, Arthur / Knight God Emperor, Ares

Magic Stone : 15
1 Water Magic Stone
3 Fire Magic Stone
11 Light Magic Stone

Resonator : 21
2 Wizard of Round Table, Merlin
2 Longing Knight, Tristan
2 Smaug
3 White Lightning Flash Thor
4 Solitary Knight
4 Garter Knights Unit
4 Titled Knight


Non-Resonator : 19
1 Gauguin Workshop
2 Mermaid Weapon
2 Retirement Order
2 White Lightning Hammer, Mjolnir
2 Sleipnir
3 Historic Ruins Investigation Team
3 Search for the Holy Site
4 Sacred Sword, Arondite


Now to the Lists

For Ruler is King of Knights, Arthur

Attribute : Light
Judgment Condition : 3 Light 2 Other

<Continuous> All Your [Knight of Round Table] on the field gains the following ability.
[ <Condition>{Rest}: Produce 1 Light ]

<Condition>{Rest}: You may only activate this ability during the start of enemy player's battle phase.
Recover a target [Knight of Round Table], it gains [+0/+500] Until the end of Turn

J-Ruler : Knight God Emperor, Ares

<Enter> You may addition any number of Addition : Resonator cards in your Hand or Graveyard without paying their costs to this card. All effects of the Addition cards can take effect on this card.

<Continuous> All [Knight of the Round Table] you control gains [+100/+100].

<Condition> {Rest}: Produce 1 Light for each [Knight of the Round Table] on your Field.


In my Opinion Arthur/Ares is the Ruler who make this deck Work well with Ares Ability as one of this deck Winning Condition, because in my opinion is hard to Handle a Ruler who Attack for deck Wincon mention like Enforcer of Sorrow, Twin Swords of Water's Mercy, or Supreme Unifier God, Odin etc.


Alternate Winning Condition on this Deck is Resonator Beatdown with Addition.

First is White Lightning Flash, Thor




Abilities
<Condition> When you declare an attack with this card, discard 1 card : Before selecting a target for the attack, Rest 1 target Resonator.

With this Ability this card is almost unblockable and the ability can also to get rid blocker resonator your oppponent have to ensure Ares attack is straight to his/her Lifepoint

And this Ability is also combo with

White Lightning Hammer, Mjolnir

Abilites

When this card enters the Graveyard from your Hand or Field, if you control [White Lightning Flash, Thor], you may put this card into your Hand.

<Continuous> Resonator that is subject to this Addition gains [+300/+300].

<Continuous> When a Resonator that is subject to this Addition attacks, before selecting a target for the attack, Rest 1 target Resonator controlled by the opponent Player.


It's not Thor if not wielding Hammer :p
so basically if you see both cards they have good Synergy, you can discard Mjolnir for Thor Abilities and then Mjolnir Abilities Triggers and Mjolnir Back to hand so Thor is like no cost abilities.

Now for the Godlike Addition at this deck is

Sacred Sword, Arondite





Abilities

<Continuous> Resonator that is subject to this Addition gains [+400/+400].

<Continuous> You gain Life Points equal to the damage dealt by the Resonator subject to this Addition to the opponent Player.


So This Addition makes this deck hard to kill because have ability to gain Life points what if Thor is subject with arondite? it have potential Gain Life Point for 1400 and the good news is what if i subject Thor with 2 arondite? so here's the calculation

Thor Attack hits Player then Thor Attack is 1800 because of 2 Arondite

Arondite A Triggers, Gain Life for 1800 and then
Arondite B is also Triggers, Gain Life for 1800

So now we already Gain Life for 3600...
see the point? that makes us hard to kill..
: D

For the Evasive Addition We have

Mermaid Weapon




Abilities

<Continuous> Resonator that is subject to this Addition cannot be blocked.
<Break> Draw a Card


If Arondite is the Godlike Addition for Attacking, This Card here is the Godlike Addition for Evasive effect

this card can ensure Ares or any resonator to hit player and it works well with arondite to assure us to gains life points


Next is the Workshop to get those Addition

Gauguin's Workshop





Abilities
<Continuous> Addition : Resonator cards cost 1 Other less to play.

<Condition> Destroy a Magic Stone you control in Recover state: This Ability may only be used on your Recovery Phase. Search for an Addition : Resonator card from your Main Deck, and add it to your Hand. Shuffle your Main Deck.


As i said before this card purpose if for get the addition if they not at hand by sacrificing one of your magic stone.

So That's the Highlight cards so now we can move on to the last part


The Pros
+ Can do Unblockable Damage
+ Gain Life A lot make it hard to kill
+ Unique Deck to Play
+ Fast Deck Due Arthur <Continuous> Effect

The Cons
- Amaterasu is the biggest enemy of this Deck
- Hard to Play
- Not Much Flexible Deck(To Much Core Cards)
- Rely much on Knight of the Round Table Race.

Let's do the Judgement!

Deck of the Month!!

Hello to all readers and fellow FoW Players!
Here i am again, JoeyJY,
and i will be your host today.

i already stated, that there will be another featured posts coming soon.
and here it is, without further ado

DECK OF THE MONTH

This featured post is really simple,
Me and Christian, will pick 1 deck from all players that we know.
We will post the decklist, the Magicstone Decklist, 
The combos, the winning conditions, 
The weakness, the Potentials,
and many more possible factors.

Anddd today, this month, and the VERY FIRST's Deck will be..

Enforcer Lion
by : Felix Nata


Ruler : Enforcer of Sorrow

Resonator : 36
4x Lion Knight, Yvain
3x Titled Knight
4x Pouncing Lion 
2x Proud Lion
4x Healer
4x Sleeping Lion
1x Wandering Knight
2x Suicide Knights Unit
4x Solitary Knights
4x Garter Knights Unit
4x Kingdom Mage Apprentice Corps

Spell : 4
4x Disarmament

Magistone Deck : 20
20x Light Magicstone

Now, let's see the list.

The ruler is Enforcer of Sorrow, 

Enforcer of Sorrow

Attribute : Darkness
Judgement Condition : You control 4 or more Resonators

<Condition> 1Darkness, {Rest} : Choose a random card from target opponent Player's Hand. Discard that card.




















Enforcer of Sorrow (J)

<Pierce>
<Preemptive Strike>
<Enter> Destroy 2 target Resonators

So the deck doesn't really need a specific Ruler to make combos, 
So that almost all ruler will fit in here. 
But Enforcer of Sorrow fits the best here.

There aren't very much specific combos, 
The point is just summon many Little-costed Resonators, 
And Judgement- The Enforcer of Sorrow to lead the game.

The one and only spesific combo (in my opinion) is Lion Knight Yvain.

Lion Knight, Yvain
Cost : 2Light 1Other

Effect : 
<Condition> 2Light : Search your deck for [Sleeping Lion], Summon it onto the Field, Shuffle your Main Deck.
<Condition> 2Light, 3Other : Search your Main Deck for a [Lion] with cost 6 or less, Summon it onto the Field. Shuffle your Main Deck

The targets of Yvain's Lion call are more than one in this deck.
You can call Pouncing Lion, Proud Lion, or Sleeping Lion,

As long as you have the will to do so.
And just note that you can use Yvain's effect on enemy's turn too, 
as long as you have the will.

Let's move on to Healer.

Healer

Cost : 1Light, 1Other

<Enter> You gain 500 Life Points.

<Break> You gain 500 Life Points.

Felix mains 4 Healer in this deck. Why?

In my opinion, 

One of the best winning condition deck is the deck that mainly uses cards that directly inflict damages to the players.
just like Flame lance, Asakuna Suicide Bomber, And many other.

So, main a healer is perfectly a good choice.
Let's see into this resonator's detail.
The Casting cost is 1Light and 1Other.
While it has 400 power and 400 life, 
that is a common status to a cost-2 resonators

It has another effects.
that is
<Enter> Gain 500 Life Points
and
<Break> Gain 500 Life Points

You can already heal 2000 damages if you got all the 4 cards from your deck,
whether by its <Enter> effect or <Break> effect. 
and this should prevents quite a massive amount of damage from Inflicting damage cards.
And a fire aggro deck, too..


Now let's move on to the Spells.
Felix only runs 4 Disarmament. Why?

Disarmament
Cost : 1Light, 1Other

<Effect> Destroy target Addition
<Break> Destroy target Addition




Again, this deck mainly swarms with small Resonators, 
And utilize Enforcer of Sorrow's Judgement side.
So having only a few spells that take care what this deck is weak to is very useful.
And Disarmament, can destroy many things that makes this deck uncomfortable. such as : 
Adition : Resonator (Such as Sacred Sword Arondite, Mutation Medicine ~Flight, Corpse Pact, etc)
Red Moon (Mostly in Loki-Redmoon deck)
Addition : Fields (Such as Uplifting Wind, Sanctuary of the World Tree, Elven Woodland, etc)
And many more.

This deck is easily beating decks that needs preparation, such as Light and Wind decks, 
But is weak against control decks, such as Water and Control Wind decks, 
with many annoying control spells, and big-life-resonators, 
because this deck can deal damage at a very maximum of 1000, 
so anything more than that would be very disadavantageous

So, i'm done with the specifications, now let's move on to the last part

The Pros : 
+ very, very, VERY quick deck, (i would say it rank 2-3 after the Fire Aggro deck with Ushua/Kabuki/Warlord of Explosive Flames)
+ Quite stable deck with only 1 color, 
+ Immune to casted-Death Kiss
+ Will never have empty Field (Unless after the Anubis' judgement)
+ Doesn't really need much Magicstones, maybe just 5-6 will do
+ Low-Costed deck $$$
+ Newbie Friendly deck, quite autopilot
+ Doesn't need many specific cards for combo
+ Can quite handle Inflicting damages decks
+ Can use Breaks properly

The Cons :
- Only have 1 Resonator-Destroyer (Enforcer of Sorrow)
- Weak to High-Lifed-Resonators
- Weak to some cards that inflicts damages globally (Until Death Do Us Part, Black Magician, Loki)
- Weak against flying resonators
- Very weak against Specific Element Destroyer (Exploding Stag Beetle)
- Weak against Preempetive Strike cards
- Probably will be boring after some weeks of playing
- Lack of combos (If you shut Yvain's Combo, probably there is no other combo)


This is all, for Today, This Month, and the very first of Deck of the Month!
Special thank for Felix Nata for letting us check and discuss this deck.

And lastly, This deck is quite low costed, so New players will be able to build this deck, 
and the Playstyle is quite easy. 
But be careful with some cards that will burn all your cards to nothing!
