Tomas to Manfred
Liam to Sandro

I like Tomas but a lot of the time in elo you're facing either Piranas or Gheist and SOB doesn't gain you anything. Plus I personally like having a +life ability (even if it is confidence). I really like Sandro and in mono skeelz he's practically a must. With that deck the only card that doesn't have 7 power is your DR. Plus some really great abilities. Best hand is Manfred, Corvus, Chiara and Redra. Open with 5-7 on Corvus. They beat you you come back with Chiara in round 2 followed by Manfred in round three and finish with Redra. You win you have 9-11 pills to use on Manfred. Then you use Redra in round three and come back with Chiara to tidy up.

Skeelz' problem is the Sandro/Sasha/Redra or Deebler draw. That draw has almost no damage- yes it's variable depending on the fourth, but they lack heavy hitters in the low range since making a mono without Sasha and Sandro is lunacy . A lot of people love Otto to try to make up for it, but I can't stand X=Y characters (I'd rather just have someone with decent power or damage to begin with.) Praxie raises my hackles too- he's a Tyd via ability, except nothing about the character helps him win his fight (At least Tyd will cancel a hostile clan bonus.)

Like Sirseamus said, build the deck with the current ELO meta in mind. Piranas are very popular (And I have joined this bandwagon myself, very nice clan), Ghiest come next, and then following tend to be All-Stars or Montana. If you're going to mono Skeelz, you want Sando's incredible power. Manfred provides the much needed lifegap potential as he said, and Liam is just terrible. You can't be wasting that many pills on 3 damage. If Liam hits an All-Star or a Montana, than regardless of SoA just go ahead and kiss him goodbye.

Sasha, Sandro, Chiara and Redra is hands down staples in mono. That leaves you with 4 spots and 15 stars left

I use Logan over Tomas, because I find the larger life gap (plus the ability to make your opponent hate themselves for having Ulrich and Bristone in the same hand) more useful than the SOB. He also is a scarier bluff.

My preference in 4 stars is Greem (best ELO legal poisoner in the game), Corvus (if you play him right, you can win the match in the first round), Belgosi, Jay, Manfred. The others aren't worth mentioning.

Depending on whether you took 1 or 2 4 stars leaves you with the space of 1 or 2 of the following who should also be considered: Liam, Danae, Praxie.

Hope this helps! Skeelz can really get you to 1300 pretty easily once you get the hang of them and don't play super predictably

In mono skeelz i don't use a 5* they are too bulky and give inconsistent draws, i play sasha sandro chiara redra corvus manfred jay and cley .some people automaticly dismiss the deck for having too much confidence/revenge but if you play the deck well then you know that confidence/revenge make awesome bluffs.

You absolutely have to use Sandro, Belgosi isn't very good unless if you're against SOA/SOB, so switch that to Sandro. If you want to keep Corvus switch Liam to Danee. I prefer having 2 5 stars in Skeelz since they are low on damage. Use a combination of Aylen/Thomas/Logan.

Tomas, Greem, Chiara, Praxie, Sandro, Cley/Danae/Zeke, Sasha, Redra

Generally with Skeelz you only want to use 2 2* cards cause the rest pred much suck so id stick to this sort of spread
Or you could replace Tomas with Aylen/ Logan but Tomas is invaluable vs Rescue/ Montana/ All Stars which are always in ELO.
He may not be as great against SOB/SOA but id rather take the protection vs attk/power manip then decent against SOB/SOA. The rest of the skeelz are really good against them anyway!

If Greem is banned id use Jay, ppl hate him but he is a great bluff/nuke card. Or if u dont want him use Belgosi hes OK for a 4*
