I just came back after taking a few months off and noticed a bunch of new DK Cards. Here's the deck I currently put together and reasons for the cards I've included. I'll appreciate any feedback on how to possible make it better/a tournament contender.
Characters:
Ardrakar
Absalon
Commander Zahal
Pros:
-Strong base stats.
-Absalon/Ardrakar synergize +defense well
-Ardrakar and Zahal can almost always chain
-Absalon greatly boosts +damage for weapons (automatically gives it to Zahal)
Cons:
-No weapon chain (means no chimera + TLA + Dreist for easy first turn kill, although similar combos are still possible).
Cards:
1x Chimera (2nd best dk weapon, spread state, huge heal)
1x Dreist (best Dk weapon, can duel wield with chimera, great stats, free to zahal)
2x Noz'Dingard Sword (+damage/heal to entire team)
2x Admiration (order bonus, chain, permanent damage boost)
1x Artrezil's heritage (+5 attack advantage no matter what)
1x Back to Noz'Dingard (similar to admiration, but +defense and permanent)
2x Crystal Dragon (nice chain card with magic damage, can snipe low health enemies but it's also random
)
1x Cut and Thrust! (counters weapon stacking, Huge damage to high def enemies when used with magic attack)
1x Dissidence (was the #1 counter in the game last time i played)
2x Magic Attack (0 defense is always a plus)
2x Knight's Honour (not sure about this one, decent chain card, but this deck has no problem chaining, stat's are mediocre and best when last character standing).
2x Shape of a Dragon (Mediocre stats, but counters nehant and lasts 4 turns)
2x The Dragon's Champion (huge heal when combined with chimera/dreist)
1x The Last Action (huge damage)
1x The best defense... (see above)
I was also thinking about adding in 2x Dragon Knight Armor to replace Knight's Honour. The stats are similar, but the armor is permanent and can make zahal almost invincible.
