So, I just loaded up from urban rivals and finally became a seller,i sold my newblood characters that I saved in my collection before I was a seller, and from master I went down to senior, and I have a bucketful of clintz right now, and Dregn just opened my eyes, tempting me to buy him, and I thought of a Frozn-Vortex deck.. would it be nice if I put Dregn in it? Like, high damage, the synergy of the clans bonuses.. lose a turn, deliver damage to enemy, then finish them with Dregn.. (u get pillz back if u lose anyways..)

I've been running Montana's this week. I haven't been doing to well.
My deck consists of: Ace , Angelo , Avola , Gianfranco , Jimmy , Moses , Oscar, and Spiaghi .
Any way to make it better? I find that SOA or SOB just completely stops me....

Hello everyone. I'm sure you have all noticed the effect of a 5* card in a game. Whether it's Beeboy, Cliff, Dorian, Avola, Spyke (see what I did there), you can say more often than not the whole match revolves around making sure that 7/8/9 damage does not go through. The whole metagame is affected, and the presence of such nuke cards make games unbalanced. To call a Beeboy bluff? Pill to beat him? Or do I DR? Against a hand with Avola, you know what happens. 1 pill Angelo, 0 pill Oscar, 1 pill Spiaghi, all pill Avola and win.

How is ELO a strategic game mode when most games depend on whether or not a 5* is in your hand. Competitive decks actually use 2 5* when possible, like Avola + Don, Cliff + Sledg, Dorian + Herman/Lady, Troompah +Ongh, Beeboy + Bodenpower, etc. Because even with a mediocre hand, having a 5* means you can just luck your way inti a win. The result is that even good players lose a good % of their games, and then it requires more and more games to get a top score because you average +/-. It's a cliche to say you need 1000 games in order to win the ELO tournament, but I wonder how far that estimate is from the truth.

I'm not doing this for the sake of whining, but out of actual concern on how ELO is played. The recipe for winning is to pack as many 50/50 cards as possible, and force your opponent to predict each one or lose. A guildie of mine proposed that all 5* be banned from the game, but this is a bit too drastic IMO. Perhaps a 24* format?

Ideas?

English Dejekt - last answer from WMDuessel, Thursday 18/04, 16:37.
Why is that a clan that is rarely viable has so many banned characters? Not even overpowered characters banned either, the current ban list really needs to be looked at and reconsidered for the current state of the game.

Lea for example is a 6/2 2star SoB and is perma-banned. She is slightly better than flannagan in mono but much much weaker in half, and much weaker to soa, yet he is free to use. Compare to Angelo too, 6/2 2star with SoA(which is stronger than SoB) and his clans bonus gives -12 attack and is activated even in half, which is a better bonus than the Rescue +12 attack considering the flexibility of it, but pretty equal mono vs mono. There are countless examples of similar cards out there now that are better and not banned.

I believe Elvira needs to be looked at too, shes definitely a strong card but 6/4 SoA 3star just isn't overpowered anymore.

Just got back to UR a couple of days ago after two years of inactivity. I used this deck to make a pretty easy Wednesday 1300.

My current ELO deck. I think it still needs some changes. Maybe less throw-away cards and more aggressive choices so I could draw them more often and get to bluff with them. I'm also getting more and more over-reliant on Eddie, which is a bad thing for any deck. Please give your thoughts and comments, thanks!

i eat pasta has a similar deck but with a 3-5 split, which looks interestingly good

Forking in Style

Not that high, but it's my first try with Vortex. I considered X-0DUS, but the main damage numbers are 5 and 7. He can KO with Milena, but Milena is just a bluff most of the time.
