My own version of   Go Arbalestier, by danatron1 ( http://scrolldier.com/deck/1467 ). Just the same deck with Rat King replaced by Advantageous Outlook. Currently, I'm trying more minor changes to the initial design by danatron1.

 

How it Works

Use Sister of the Fox and Stone Pact Memorial to chumpblock early threats, while building a tiny resource ramp, thanks to the memorials and Summons. Frost Gale may help. ASAP, play a Gallant Defender. At this point, opponent creatures outnumber yours, so Defender is a very good asset. One turn or two later, put an Arbalestier on the table and the clean-up start. 

Arbalestier can be pumped with Advantageous Outlook, Royal Vanguard and God Hand, so is easy to clean an entire row from units with a single shot. All spells help to count down Arb's CD, in special God Hand (-3 CD), Eye of Eagle and Summons (only 1 cost, in addition to provide a chumpblocker to protect our Knight). 

This "combo" works mostly alone. You don't be out of pieces, since the insane ammount of draw that is included (Outlook, Eye of Eagle, Fertile Soil, Heritage, Imperial Resources, Sister of the Fox and Summons). Maybe doesn't look like that, but it's very consistent.  Quake and Frost Gale helps your Arbs to clean the table, while triggers Heritage on your Sisters. Kinfolk Veteran may take down an unprotected, but far, Idol or unit, and Royal Skirmisher helps Arbalestier with the clean-up.

    the deck was made on the idea of "hey lets make arbalestier the focus of a deck" and it turned out that GO draw fit that mould best, anything that makes it more arby centred is great :P

      Just different gameplay for the very same deck, dana. All credit is yours, I just tuned it up to match my style. I like to rely on my Arbalestiers rather than fill the field with threats. You got more muscle, I've got more deck manipulation.

      Thanks for that wonderful deck.

      And thanks for that game, Threyne. It was fun.

        Nice! I consider this a worthy swap out, won't change my own so I don't conflict with your originality, but +1 at the very least!

          +1 this deck. I have personally fought against this deck and seen the destruction it can cause. The match had me ahead early in the beginning but by the time he got his blasters up and had 12 cards in his hand full of spells. the destruction had begun. Best match I have encountered. Good job!
