Dear Elder Scrolls : Legends Community,
From middle of 2017 i've started to play, i've enjoyed so much discovering this game but with last december updates and the new year i've taken a decision which goes through my mind. I will take soon in an indefinite break from this kind of time-consuming TCG. It has taken me a lot of time to share you lists/descriptions/demos/gameplays of decks i've loved to play and the interest to climb ladder has changed, i don't want to be constrained by Legend passing each month. Maybe the motivation will be back one day :-)
So, i wanted to show you all my works on Legends-decks & YouTube !
THE GENIUS GARDENER | Item « IN-SANE » Assassin
Well, i've started to play on TESL current 2017 with an Item Combo Battlemage (Merric/Nord Firebrands/Corsair Ships/Charge creatures) but the Assassin deck with Brynjulf i've bought was really good for me. At the beginning of 2018 i've discovered the power of the combo with Gardener of Swords and i imagine something with Thief Guild Fence and... BOOM ! My first baby deck was born !
> LEGENDS-DECKS PAGE : https://www.legends-decks.com/deck/46388/the-genius-gardener-item-in-sane-assassin
the aim of the combo is to draw for free our deck to OTK the opponent, looking like an abomination assassin archetype!
To see on YouTube :
- the old version (1min)
- the best parts with the combo (2min)
- the last updated list (2min)
This deck is the starting spot of my passion for Item Combo Assassin, you will see it further in this article, but i've written a Guide for fun OTK Item Combo Assassin, including this deck !
FUN FACT :
The Sunday 14th October 2018 was organized by Santosvella and his team (with Romanesque) the first French TESL event called MUNSTER SERIES (a cheese joke about the Master Series of QuakeCon (August 2018) and the passion of cheese by the Elder Scrolls iconic character Shéogorath). Some duels were casted on Twitch and even if Santosvella and Romanesque commented my second and last defeat, I was surprised to see my game on Twitch (and especially to give the interest of Santo to play my decklist in his next stream that i'll share too just below)
> MUNSTER SERIES - Greygose [Mid Battlemage] vs IN-SITU [Item Assassin] (6min30)
Following the first french TESL event, MUNSTER SERIES, Santosvella has tested some lists from this event the Wednesday 17th October 2018 during a Twitch stream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/323912904Among this stream, he's tested my Item Assassin Combo list with the Gardener of Swords, while almost 3 hours (and 14 games)! So I've had the decision to make a selection to present you the potential of this pack !
> Santosvella tests my Item Assassin Combo deck (The Genius Gardener) (1h08min)
Who said passion for Assassin archetype, said passion for Swindler's Market !
THE MATRHĖX | OTK Market Assassin
The following deck is not a surprise and so original because it's like a copy of Thuldir Market Assassin before the nerf of Lillandril Hexmage. Many cards of Alliance War expansion were auto-included in this deck and i've taken so much pleasure to play this « Cancer » deck. Not because the Win Rate was around 80% but especially 'coz it was so fun to draw almost our entirely deck ! Well, to don't forget the climax of Market Assassin, i've had the intention to share it on Legends-decks :
> LEGENDS-DECKS PAGE : https://www.legends-decks.com/deck/64820/the-matrhx-otk-market-assassin
Here is a compilation (2m40) of some combos and a twitch clip against Earlmeister (who was #18 Legend at this time) for a Turn 5 OTK.
Hmmmmm remember...
MATRHĖX REL0ADED | Tribal Market Assassin
I was sad to sign the end of the Market Assassin era, following the nerf of Lillandril Hexmage... but an idea has risen in my head. What about acions with Crystal Tower Crafter ? Thalmor Ambassy was an interesting choice, mainly with Dominion Oathman and Close Call ! So i've axed a combo around the High Elf Tribal in a REL0ADED version of THE MATRHĖX Market Assassin :
> LEGENDS-DECK PAGE : https://www.legends-decks.com/deck/68329/matrhx-rel0aded-tribal-market-assassin
You can find links like :
- a compilation (5min) of the combo
- a twitch clip with makemorelove
- GAMEPLAY (27min) of the last updated list !
NOW. The next deck is one of my favourite deckbuilding (with my Item Combo IN-SANE Assassin deck), my other baby !
MAD MAX | OTK « Schizophrenic » Warrior
Ramp Warrior has always been a big crush even if i don't like Warrior archetype (because it's more for Aggro than Control or Combo). I've litteraly taken so much pleasure to play it ! With Jaws of Oblivion expansion i've seen the Kynreeve Champion and i wanted to created an OTK combo with him. I've already thought of Drive Mad. This action will be the second master piece of the combo. But how do we find tools for the OTK ? Double the power of Kynreeve Champion ? Ok, we have some suggestions as Dremora Markynaz but too expensive... oh,wait ! Stenderr's Hammer ? Mmmh, PERFECT ! MAD MAX was born :
> LEGENDS-DECKS PAGE : https://www.legends-decks.com/deck/71533/mad-max-otk-schizophrenic-warrior
I was so proud to find this Casual OTKcombo with cards i like, that i've tried to play it on the ladder and we can win !! Ok, the win rate is not really good and the most of winning fights it thanks to the Control way but you need to test it !
You can check on YouTube :
- a compilation of 3 games (1min30) of the OTK
- an other compilation of 3 games (2min) on the ladder in November (2019)
- GAMEPLAY (50min) of 6 games (from Rank 5 to LEGEND)
- and a special 98 damages OTK (30sec)
FUN FACT :
You can OTK the opponnent with Kynreeve Champion and The Red Year too ! (that you can see in the GAMEPLAY video just above) or here with a short compilation of 2 games (1min20).
Well, we come back now with an new Item Combo but in Sorcerer class this time !
STAIRWAY TO IN-SITUFERNO | OTK Item Sorcerer
I remember when i've met marv61maylis, on the ladder in last November, playing this Combo deck. When he has discarded Siege Crawler i had an idea of his strategy but it was too late for me ? He had all the tools and me nothing to stop him. I knew the combo with Bone Armor in Scout with Snowy Sabre Cat, but in Sorcerer ?! I think it was teh first time i've met this kind of combo (really great with Crucible Blacksmith!). So i've tried to build a version of this exciting combo and i've loved to play it during the November month !
> LEGENDS-DECKS PAGE : https://www.legends-decks.com/deck/72970/stairway-to-in-situferno-otk-item-sorcerer
However, i posted it some days before the adding of Tamriel Collection and Midnight Burial is an auto-included must-have card, because we don't need to discard Siege Crawler for the combo, i've tested in the same time Death Hound and High Hrothgar but it has taken me so much time to write this guide and to record the gameplay that i don't update the list yet.
Otherwise, you can check my version on YouTube with :
- Demo of the combo in a single gameplay (3min40)
- GAMEPLAY of 7 games on the ladder the 24th November 2019 (33 min)
BROTHERHOOD GÖNG | Slay Item OTK Assassin
For my last deck on Legends-decks, i wanted to create an OTK Combo between Assassin class, Gardener of Swords and the Slay ability. I've found something Casual but with Gardener of Swords it's not enough optimized so i've removed them. By th way, here is an original and fun Item OTK Combo with Dawnfang and Ring of Namira !
> LEGENDS-DECKS PAGE : https://www.legends-decks.com/deck/73936/brotherhood-gng-slay-item-otk-assassin
Too have an idea of the combo on YouTube, check :
- demonstration of the BROTHERHOOD GÖNG OTK combo. (1min10)
- some demos with Gardener of Swords ( 15:39 & 16:03 ) and/or Swindler's Market ( 14:00 ) from my COMBO DECKS MELTING POT. (17min)
REQUIEM FOR A PANT from the [GUIDE] 50 SHADES OF ITEM COMBO ASSASSIN

CONCLUSION
It was a big work that i'm relly proud to have realized too. Well, it's the end. I've compiled some old and recent games i've made in combo way (or not) in a video (17min) if you want check it it's here :
COMBO DECKS MELTING POT
> REDDIT POST : https://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollslegends/comments/eh6stj/combo_decks_melting_pot/
Now, i don't have the motivation to search/create funny and original wombo combo decks, mainly if the game is almost dead.
I would like to thank a lot of people :
> Players as Petamax for creating crazy combo like his Abomination Scout, this one behind the combo with Ramp Rage Warrior (that eyenie and Thuldir have played) and others like this, the kind of crazy combo (love this one with Ordiniran Necromancer, Corsair Ship and discarded Supreme Atromancer)
> Sreamers as IanBits and MattOblivium for the fun during your streamings ! French streamers as Santosvella & Romanesque, Ranelagh, Glassjawhs that i've loved to watch too !
> my french discord community !! (it was so fun to deal with you guys <3)
> All support and feedback i've had in the game, on Legends-decks and reddit (thanks JackAries, MrN0b0dy Mester_Vester, Skynomad, Sav0s_Aren, LECityLECLEC...)
> all those I could forget, thanks..
and i thank these decks i've published and others as Move Assassin or Swift Strike Dagoth because i've taken so much pleasure and joy to play with them.
On Legends-decks I wanted to share some original things, bring new interesting stuff and ideas. I didn't want to make daily deckbuilding of decks that everybody have seen and seen again. I hope i give some interest to build new strategies, because we can make beautiful original decks yet with TESL. Maybe for a next time ?
I hope it wasn't so boring to read all this sh*t and you have enjoyed the passion..
I wish you the best for 2020 :-)
The Elderscrollsement vôtre,
IN-SITU
