Community Deckbuilding challenge - A Gauntlet of Mages

Spoiler for art banner by hotpotAI:

Community members submit one unupgraded deck; those decks together will battle through a gauntlet of all 61 Mages. Your deck has 1 2 deck lives.  If your deck beats the current Mage target, the deck retains its life and faces the next Mage target.  If your deck loses, 1 deck life is exhausted and it will go to the back of the player submitted deckpool.  If it loses a 2nd time then both deck lives are exhausted and the next deck submitted by the community picks up the challenge vs the current Mage target. Community decks are sent to battle in the order of submission (posting to forum).  The order of AI opponents is all 61 Mages in their alphabetical order.  The event hosts will conduct the battles and share results. Submitting a deck: post a reply to this thread with your deck code as follows:   Submission deadline: December 14th 31st Rewards: Submitting a deck: 2k gold award and a rare card All Mages defeated: 8k gold award and a shiny rare Community Decks order: 1.

Let's get this party started!

Wicked Spirit

I have given up on trying to create some monstrosity that can deal with everything, instead I'm pretending this is a relay race.

This should have a good matchup against the first three mages, then lose terribly to Beach. Someone else can pick up from there.

Edit: Since there are so few decks participating, I'm switching my submission out to a higher-performance deck.

The name comes from my having stolen the deck code from arena 1 way back before the georesonator nerf. If I remembered whose deck this was originally I would give credit, but alas, I did not keep that information. It may look like a giant mess, but it gets the job done. I occasionally go after champions with a variant that is all upped except for the novae.

While there's room for improvement, at least I wanted to place a deck even if its for bumping. the idea is using phoenixes for damage while beguiling opponent creatures into either regrade (to conserve them) or sacrificing them to the wicked shield for stalling.


Septima's edit, proposed improvement:

044sd0b5f0025gi025f3035fq065fc015fk025up035vd018pt

Reason for more regrade than beguile is that it can target creatures as a form of cc or upgrade wicked shield.

just rush i guess

Each deck submitted now has two instead of one deck life.  If your deck loses, it gets to replay the current mage with its 2nd life.  In other words, when your deck loses twice, it's dead and the next community deck picks up the challenge.

[timpa]

This helps very very little. Pushing the deck to last in queue makes more sense.

We can do that.
