World of Weeniecraft

So then - you've gotten your packs, looked through them, but what's this? You STILL can't put together a deck that works well with itself? tsk tsk, luckily you've come to the right place.

My name is DanHibiki, I've been playing TCGs for years, and before people ask, no - I don't play the online game... yet. Hopefully, everyone can get something out of these articles, no matter how experienced or otherwise... so let us begin!

In WoWTCG there seem to be 2 recurring themes for the alliance faction. the ELUSIVE ability, and cards that get more powerful with allies on your side of play. what are some of these cards, you ask? well the most basic of them all is the simple Tracker Gallen from the Demo Decks.

Tracker Gallen 2
Tracker Gallen has +1 ATK for each ally in your party.
0/2

The potential for Gallen is very obvious, for many decks it could be a struggle to keep him around as an efficient piece, sometimes even struggling to maintain a healthy 2/2 for 2, conveniently, in a deck built to use and control the number of allies you have, Gallen will rarely have less than 4 ATK making him a VERY fearsome number

Kailis Truearc 1
Kailis Truearc has +2ATK and +2 Health while there are four or more allies in your party
1/1

Lets see here ... normally an easy to overlook card, because it's simply a vanilla 1 for 1/1, with a hard to trigger ability. once again, like gallen, in this deck you should pretty much always have Kailis as a 3/3 in this deck, allowing you to swarm these beauties to your hearts content

The Defias Brotherhood
While there are four or more allies in your party, pay 1 to complete this quest
Reward : Draw 2 cards

simply WoW, pay 1 to draw 2 cards? oh wait ... gee what an icky requirement, but once again this deck's versatility prevails

the above cards are the decks reason for existence, but they still can't function without solid game play... how do you assure yourself that you can consistently draw cards and play allies? lets start with one of the more truly important parts of this deck, the quests

Are We There, Yeti
normally, Pay 6, get some weenies but in this deck, it says 'Pay 6, get some weenies, fulfill the requirements for Defias Brotherhood and Kailis Truearc, plus pump up tracker gallen' - to not use it would be madness

Tooga's Quest
Only really here to provide an emergency token, plus it also takes a lot of the focus off of your other allies as targets - plus if you get to draw those 2 cards, it's good news for you

Battle of Darrowshire
It's nice and cheap in this deck, plain and simple

Kibler's Exotic Pets
no reason to NOT use this

Into the Maw of Madness
do you even need a reason?

So then, those are the quests you should consider for this deck - but what about the Hero? depending on your play-style, most of the classes are good for a simple deck like this, and here is why
WARRAX - battle shout, and he can become a protector in a pinch - plus he is nice and bulky
BORIS - he can heal himself or your allies, he can use power word fortitude to increase someone's health, plus you can dispel magic all of those painful DoT abilities
DIZDEMONA - Sarmoth's Lightning rod ability makes him too good to NOT mention
GRACCUS - can turn himself into a protector, can negate damage, and his Aura's make your allies either a lot harder to kill, or a lot more fearsome for the final attack
ELENDRIL - Ravenous bites, rayder, marked for death - Elendril is a fairly obvious choice for a purely aggro rush style for this deck

What other Allies?
Obviously a deck as ally dependent as this can't live without friends - so lets add some! Elusive characters, and characters that give some nice buffs/abilities to the party are ideal

Apprentice Teep, Latro Abiectus, Braxxis the Sleeper
just helpful to have around... Braxxis for a nice fatty to end the game with

Nerra Lifeboon
she keeps you people alive for longer, and will be singled out as a target, keeping your weenies around

Milo The Unmerciful
nice stats, and his ability is useful, against a heavier deck he would be sided out for moira though

Parvink
it's parvink...

Medoc Spiritwarden
Recycling is good for the environment, and bad for your opponent's

so lets look at the whole deck now
