Illusion deck

It does not have very good statistics, only about 50% or less win rate and I haven't been playing it for some time. Illusion is a secondary keyword so you can't expect it to be your main force. I believe Unliving/Illusion is a the best combination, mainly because of the power of Unliving. Nature/Illusion is an interesting combo also but you need massive stock+ and gems+ cards.

I see, many durable and persistent rares that you could discard from enemy hand with your uncommon banish cards. nice idea. Since you have 3 rare legends you could use also bounty hunter
ambassador and chaos dwarf are a must have. also Vulture, Veteran militia and Meditation could be quite useful but it's hard to find an uncommon slot for them.
About common I will use also baku since it can summon rare with 33,(3)% probability.
Also you need Magic defense, your defense is too low.

Yeah, that was purposely done. Also, having lots of Durable rares is a way to hunt Collector award, not the most successful one I must say.
Thanks for the recommendations.

Here, I just built an illusion-themed deck yesterday, and after the first 10 games with it, its record is 6/3/1 (W/L/D):

Illusion deck

It can almost certainly be improved, but I thought I would let you take a look now, since that's why I created it!

overlord is so much better than that rare runic guy

Not when you have so many magic+ and facilities+ cards. It's like Working together against Wizard's tower - first is better until you get magic 6.

Even at standard facilities, the rare runic guy usually builds 18*3 + 10 = 64 wall (6 less than Overlord), has an attack component, and doesn't lower a facility. That really isn't too bad, especially if you want lots of defensive rare cards. The extra cost isn't so important in a deck like mine where you are likely to have lots of stock lying around, and the wall built can be huge when facilities are raised.

On the other hand, Overlord is definitely a useful card in this deck. I might remove something like Stormwind to take it (or maybe Alastor).

my holy tower build deck 2:1 ratio currently (41:19)
Very strong overall against any deck type.
Well resource balanced deck, good defence cards. Basic and uncommon part is kinda perfect every card is important while rare cards dont make much impact cuz u chaos dwarf them mostly.

fun deck to try and play is holy restoration deck with plauqe and Death prophet.
Keycards are alchemy, benediction to build back facilities.

Restoration is really good combo with plague. But I prefer to accumulate resources with this keyword and then play a rare-finisher card.

I've tried Plague/Restoration in the past. While interesting as a strategy, it's not very effective mainly for two reasons:

1. Both plague and restoration require gems to be played.
2. And most important, you need 2 turns to trigger restoration and get +1 facility. Besides Restoration's power is the +10 lowest resource giving and not the +1 lowest facility.

If you need to build a High/Low facilities deck Curse/Plague/Sacrifice is the ultimate combo along with some cards (e.g. Vereran militia, Dream shift, Farm etc) that will help you clean your hand from unwanted Plagues, because once your opponent gets to 1/1/1 there's no point in reducing your own facilities :)

Ok my holy build deck is kinda perfect reaching almost 3:1 ratio 90w:30l and 15 win streak. Overall good vs any type of deck every card has meaning why its there. Most defence comes with black market what has proven most useful card in game.

switch also levithan to mountain king

Dest build. This was idea but have worked really great. Its fun to play and is very versatile with all those discard cards. Idea was that building decks dont use not much gems but have quit alot recruits using cards. So i though i keep gem cards for destruction cards and pick mostly recruits cripping basic destruction cards. With whirlwind, sheat of sword, black market i could control most oponent hand. Whilfwind will be hope to get rid of rare cards.

Current deck stats 31W:8L
