CHUNGUS

Deck is HEAVY.. alot of push with some jank

OPENING HAND

Sites

Looking for ATLEAST 1 earth threshold to start preferably 2 earth and any tower (ex. [[Lone Tower]]). If possible a [[Free City]] or [[Vaults of Zul]] early is always helpful (playing [[Free City]] or [[Vaults of Zul]] turn one or two sets up the [[Pudge Butcher]] Avatar pull later real nice)

Deck mainly runs around 2 earth + 1 air threshold, earth heavy. [[Divine Healing]] does need 3 earth threshold but it’s not hard to get to after a draw or two with these ratios

Spells

More then anything else I love to see that [[Mix Terra]] and [[Pudge Butcher]] opening hand

ESPECIALLY with a [[Free City]] or [[Vaults of Zul]] but most times as long as you have 1 tower and an earth threshold, you’re looking for a [[Root Spider]], [[Vanguard Knight]], [[Phantom Steed]], and maybe a [[Grapple Shot]] for a turn 2 Tower with 3 mana to play any of those and apply pressure early

EVERY CARD AND WHAT I THINK

AVATAR

[[Sorcerer]]

Hard to beat the draw value [[Sorcerer]] can provide. Can be easy to abuse the double draw to early. Try to get to 5 sites when possible so you can cast the 5 cost spells then double draw all your little heart desires.

AURA

[[Crusade]] (x1)

Insane card a lot of options on play I like to place it touching both ally and enemy sites for +1 attack / defense. Just as well being able to attack the back row of sites is helpful too and will give an opponents avatar a tougher time escaping the +1 earth minions.

ARTIFACTS

[[Mix Terra]] (x1)

Helps burst out heavier cards great for an early [[Pudge Butcher]] combo’d hopefully with a [[Free City]] or [[Vaults of Zul]] early or for helping bring out the big boys

(Double drawing with one of these out feels real nice)

[[Philosopher’s Stone]] (x1)

Best card. Can help cast spells so much easier. All multiple color decks need this.

[[Magellan Globe]] (x1)

Crazy tech opens the game up so much the combos become insane

Feels risky every time I use this gives enemy alot of new options as well. I like to save until necessary.

Can also be used to give [[Pudge Butcher]] a new angle to yank an enemy

[[Pnakotic Manuscript]] (x1)

Any 5 power minion feels pretty decent drawing cards. Have a [[Squirming Mass]] nearby whenever possible just incase they pop. [[Land Surveyor]], [[Frontier Settlers]], or any smaller minion can be used

MINIONS

[[Frontier Settlers]] (x1)

Can really help speed up the deck. Just be sure to play him as safely as possible. Can even give him to [[Phantom Steed]] be safe out in the void and next turn free extra site.

[[Lady Isuelt]] (x1)

Cycles cards back to hand. Trades feel even better. Gives a really solid hand advantage. Try not to play alone very often wait until the field is filled with a few ally minions to return to hand.

[[Land Surveyor]] (x2)

Simple site draw allows for better threshold control and keeps you drawing spells. [[Pnakotic Manuscript]] this man to get even more value.

[[Miracle Workers]] (x1)

Hold until you need to trade + if a [[Squirming Mass]] is in the realm.

[[Sisters of Silence]] (x2)

Silence takes care of a lot, very oppressive

Can be used to move [[Dalcean Phalanx]] any direction or [[Pudge Butcher]] gets movement around too, takes away his immobility which is hilarious to me

[[Autumn Unicorn]] (x3)

Big beater card 4x4 Power not affected by [[Sisters of Silence]]

Very strong and a problem that has to be taken care of

[[Phantom Steed]] (x1)

Just for some tech, play [[Phantom Steed]] in the void adjacent to an ally site. Next turn, play a site under [[Phantom Steed]] so you can play a minion at that same location pick it up and take a valuable minion out to the void for protection during summoning sickness. (hard to target something out there) then get to attack using [[Phantom Steed]]s range.

Tested this out and it was awesome 3 steps and void usage was so clutch.

[[Root Spider]] (x2)

Just such a nuisance a lot of control I sometimes forget they can attack

only (x2), (x3) felt like it clogged up the deck to me

[[Squirming Mass]] (x1)

THE PROPHECY HAS BEEN FULFILLED THE TRUE CHUNGUS IS SQUIRMING MASS!!

Insane combos with [[Phantom Steed]] take out to the void for protection then dive bomb to help boost the MASS. Can be played in Gnome hallows for protection but he can get big enough to Deaths Door someone at full health.. CHUNGUS

Sadly going from (x2) to (x1) for now

0 power to start is easy to kill still love the tech but doesn’t last long usually

[[Vanguard Knights]] (x2)

Can always be played to protect Gnome Hollows

Very strong and a great push minion

I love to see opening hand with any tower plus [[Grapple Shot]]

[[Dalcean Phalanx]] (x3)

Used to not be a big fan but it’s always nice to see especially with the added [[Blink]]s and [[Grapple Shot]]s very effective

[[Pudge Butcher]] (x3)

Classic Pudge but I want to use him to drag their avatar to a [[Vaults of Zul]] or [[Free City]] site.

Can move to attack / defend when [[Sisters of Silence]] is nearby

[[BLINK]]s are this cards best friend play him to the side unassumingly and then pop him into range for a YANK!

[[Sir Perceval]] (x1)

His ability is not as good as I had hoped but it can still get a draw and is a decent target for [[Pnakotic Manuscript]]. 4x5 power is hard to beat alot of upside here

[[Amazon Warriors]] (x2)

here for one reason and that’s for a another common sense search option

Very strong 5x5 vanilla but pretty high cost going to test see how useful it can be

[[Sir Galahad]] (x1)

Threshold only needs to get to 2 air for one card, this man. Worth it for the health gain alone but whenever the protection happens its always a plus

Magic

[[Divine Healing]] (x2)

stay alive at all cost card +7 health

[[Blink]] (x4)

Unpredictable movement and getting untangled or unrooted and attacking feels very good

Want see it sneak a [[Pudge Butcher]] onto a [[Vaults of Zul]] or [[Free City]] to pull an avatar into the trap!

[[Common Sense]] (x2)

Hoping to use it to search for whatever I need in the moment. Early it feels good to grab an [[Amazon Warriors]] late game [[Grapple Shot]] is always helpful in this deck full of HEAVY hitters

[[Dispel]] (x1)

useful tech gets rid of their pesky aura / cores / stone whatever this can hit it always feels nice when it does.

[[Fade]] (x1)

Great after an attack to set up a unblockable attack next turn and get a nice draw. Can be [[Common Sense]]d for a final blow.

[[Lightning Bolt]] (x1)

Great win con or removal option

Only (x1) so make sure it’s worth it to use. [[Common Sense]] target great for final blow.

[[Bury]] (x1)

Great for removal + a secret burrow minion removal tech.. if you bury your own [[Sisters of Silence]] the sisters will die but anything nearby underground dies with her. [[Common Sense]] target when needed

[[Grapple Shot]] (x3)

A lot of big creatures to shoot over and smack

Can be used for game winning shot or move units around

[[Earthquake]] (x2)

clutch spell saves the day buries a bunch of minions advancing on you

SITES

Bedrock (x3)

Very strong site can’t be moved or blown up by other lands or spells

Cant be flooded keeping a safe spot for spiders

Great against [[Atlantean Fate]] and [[Roots of Yggdrasil]] decks

[[Dark Tower]] (x3), [[Gothic Tower]] (x3), [[Lone Tower]] (x2)

Gain extra mana for heavier pushes earlier. Perfect for turn 2 [[Root Spider]], [[Vanguard Knight]], [[Phantom Steed]].

[[Glastonbury Tor]] (x1)

Tri-cite. Simple. Has both earth and air threshold helps keep threshold under control.

[[Gnome Hollows]] (x1)

Feels good under the avatar defends against most attacks at least the heavy ones and defends against [[Battle Mage]] and djinn win con

Can be a hassle to move around but very helpful

Vanguard Knights can always be summoned here then grow to a 4 after entering.

[[Free City]] (x3)

One of my favorite cards since I first started playing insane value defense protection and attack

Combo with [[Pudge Butcher]] for heavy double attacks.

[[Holy Ground]] (x1)

+3 healing whenever possible, stay alive!

[[Pillar of Zeiros]] (x1)

God tier heal, has an earth threshold, and can counter fire / spark mage avatars using their grave as a charge or death speaker using everyone’s graveyard genesis

[[Rift Valley]] (x2)

Helps with early movement for your avatar to pull apart the original site and push the avatar out

Can be used aggressively to push an enemy unit closer or an ally minion further forward

[[The Colour Out of Space]] (x1)

Best multi-threshold site. Can sometimes get shut off but once you find a good place for it in your play style it has more pros then cons

[[Tintagel]] (x1)

The other Tri-cite with earth and air. Need em for consistent threshold.

[[Valley of Delight]] (x2)

Pick whatever threshold gets you closer to 2 earth 1 air first. After that 2 earth 2 air max is all you need.

[[Vaults of Zul]] (x1)

Spiciest tech in the deck, jank if you will, but I want to [[Pudge Butcher]] their avatar onto it and hit them hard as I can for two turns

I had someone on deaths doors I entered the [[Vaults of Zul]] myself and drew 3 cards into the answer I needed! A lot of weird options here

(Could be a tower or any other spicy land)

[[Windmill]] (x3)

Duel lands for the deck always nice to see

[[Wizard’s Den]] (x2)

Testing to see if this affects the threshold consistency. The draw is very good. Most times you don’t even have to discard and if you do it was an extra card you never had anyways. Might be getting greedy with sorcerer as the avatar but could always use draw.

(Maybe)

already wrote something so keeping here just in case they come back vvvv

[[Bosk Troll]] (x2)

pretty self explanatory lil 2 drop 3x3 beaters for some early push / removal bait

[[Men of Lang]] (x2)

with the resurgence of Fade and the uptick in Blinks and Grapple Shots these lanky boys might fit right in for some hand removal and just some serious disadvantage for an opponent

Need to test (usually ends up being removal bait but still feels solid)

[[Atlas Wanderers]]

can be clutch moving around sites for the right angle or free attacks

Paired with a Mix Terra and a Sinkhole turn 2 can get ugly very quick (can be subbed in for Phalanx and add in another mix Terra? Sitting out the combo for now to be more consistent at 40 spells)

[[Sinkhole]]

trying these out for now want to disadvantage opponents threshold lock or get rid of pesky sites

(can replace Free City trying to decide what’s better)
