Blades Stalwart carried me through 6 consecutive arena matches. I was at 2 losses. Now I won all matches. This is one of my new favorite cards.
This deck is soooo satisfying to win with. No, it is not top tier. Just something fun to play with.

Card Discussion Thread - Necrom Mastermind

Posted: 22 Apr 2020 12:58 AM PDT

Drem yol lok, wunduniik. Welcome to the latest card discussion thread. Today, we'll be discussing Necrom Mastermind.

Please feel free to talk about anything you find interesting about the card: design, effect on the meta, the art, sounds, animations, lore or anything else.

Set: Core

Example Decklists:

Last Gasp Assassin by SioulReinerg: SPAImxefxDcfspbLqcxdAJbOoOvJqejHiRitfAnuAIdKcybwoefLoEhllo

Strategy:

Last Gasp effects are slower than Summon effects, but as a result tend to be more powerful. Necrom both speeds up Last Gasp effects and allows you to double-dip on them.
A few cards have very powerful Last Gasps that would benefit from this card. Here's a list of them.
- {{Firepot Spider}}, while its Last Gasp is fairly weak, is interesting in that it damages itself. This allows it to double-dip on its effect, dealing 2 damage instead of 1. Still not sure why you'd run it over {{Skaven Pyromancer}} or {{Tiny Dragon}}, but the combo's there if you need it.
- The same holds true for {{Blastbones}}, although that card is somehow even worse than Firepot Spider.
- {{Balmora Spymaster}} with Mastermind is a powerful combo. If you get lucky with your rolls, you can get two 7+ creatures off of him.
- {{Elusive Schemer}} can create more copies of itself.
- {{Hannibal Traven}} will play all his actions and then relearn them to play them again (if I'm wrong about that please tell me, I'm not 100% certain if it works like this). If he learned 3 lightning bolts, you can deal 24 damage to your opponent's face with this combo.
- {{Indoril Archmage}} can practically clear a lane with his ability and survive to do it again. A very powerful late-game combo.
- {{Eclipse Baroness}} can generate extra cards, which never hurts.
- You can double-dip on {{Haunting Spirit}}'s buff.
- You can double-dip on {{Determined Supplier}}'s magicka gain.
- Because of the way {{Headless Zombie}} is worded, you can get two copies of your card instead of one.
- {{Sower of Revenge}} and Mastermind are a strong combo, but gimped by the fact that you have to do it in Ebonheart, which isn't exactly burn colors. This combo works better if you get a Sower from {{Mythic Dawn Informant}}.
- I'm not sure how {{Shadowmere}}'s Last Gasp works with Mastermind. Does the current Shadowmere get shuffled into your deck or is it a copy? Someone please tell me. If it's the latter than you have a Charge creature duper.

Trivia: Necrom is a city in mainland Morrowind. It belongs to House Indoril, the main backers of the Tribunal Temple. Necrom is seen in Arena, but not in any other game.

Are Dark Brotherhood cards played at all?

There is a huge discounted pack with dark brotherhood story plus some packs. I'm considering buying it, but it seems like no competitive decks contain any cards from that set.
