In the last post, @afterglow wanted to know more about the war deck I am using. Firstly, thanks for viewing and voting on my post! ❤️

My War Deck 👩‍🚒
So, my latest and most used war deck currently is a Big Relic War Deck. Although GUdecks gave it this name, I think I need a few more relic cards like Dead Man's Flail and Magic Missile Launcher to call it a true relic deck.

Anyway, here is my deck and deck code. God power will always be Slayer as the other 2 powers will be quite useless for relics.

My Strategy? 🤔
Hope that opponent has a bad draw! Just kidding 🤣 A few points I try to keep in mind (but of course, sometimes the card draw don't allow me to follow this).

  1. Try to make sure you are constantly drawing the relics. Have cards that draw relics for you. Otherwise, the momentum can be lost easily.

  2. Use spells and/or creeps to clear the board. Sometimes. it's OK to clear with your god but just need to take note of the health.

  3. Carnage Sweep is a MUST! This can be a life-saver at times against multiple creatures (e.g. Nature) or can help to clear those big creatures.

  4. If the draw is good, I will aim to use Tenderizer + Unrestrained Power. That can sometimes easily take out at least 20 health! I think I ever did 24 damage before (I Need A Weapon + Warmonger Smith + Unrestrained Power).

Enough Talk. Action Time! 🎥
I streamed 2 days ago using this war deck. Not too bad actually. 3 wins out of 4 matches.. But I think I had some pretty good luck too. I did make some mistakes too (if you noticed). Sometimes, the hand move faster than my brain can think.

Interesting deck! I would consolidate a bit. Instead of running 1x of a bunch of different relics, pick half of them you like the most and run 2x (assuming you have 2x).

There are also creatures (like Leviathan Hunter) that give you relics. They don't do much on their own but are great with Avalanche Strike and Carnage Sweep.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Forgot to mention this is a F2P deck. That's why its a bunch of different relics and that's all I have. Lol! Otherwise, I would have run 2x each. Unfortunately, I also don't have Leviathan Hunter (that's a genesis card!)

Having only 1 Unrestrained Power, your win con, is bad. You always want to see it. Unrestraining a Tenderizer is too slow against any deck. Control decks will have a frontline or relic removal by 7 mana.

I will love to have 2x Unrestrained Power but unfortunately, I only have 1. And you are right that the win rate isn't that high because I really need a certain sequence of draw. That's why Tenderizer is usually used at 5 or 6 mana with the Wandering Blacksmith (if that happens, the win rate is usually quite good).

I hope I can open more packs with the cards that can make this a true relic war deck :)

THank you for the mention @itwaswk, I love the deck and your strategy too! I am reluctant to use Carnage Sweep in my deck as of the moment, but as you pointed out it will be a "life-saver", with that being said, I will try incorporating Carnage Sweep in my deck. Thank you for showing us your War Deck.
