Sundering Ogre Surge Decks, Post Yours!

Pretty self explanatory. Sundering Ogres have become a very good method of surging. Hoping to see if anyone's come up with any good ones so that we can all benefit. I myself run a pretty standard one.

Draco, 7x Sundering Ogre, 3x Asylum

Post yours and if you have any peculiar cards in there, some clarification would be nice as to why it's there.

Necrogeddon is the best card to put in Ogre decks, although I do not have it yet. I know this from running a bunch of sims against a wide variety of decks, where it almost always raises chances 3-4% (pretty significant for 1 card). Plus it makes sense.

Dredge is the next best card as it is great against fear and can directly counter a number of cards both slow and quick. Dredge also widely helps sim numbers and I have experience to bear this out.

Right now I am running Ogre X7, Dredge, Asylum, and Relinquish Power. The last two cards I haven't been using long and are subject to change. I tried Niaq for a while and he worked alright; may add him back at some point.

I like the plasma field + emp, and evaluate decks likes it too (with them last on ordered). Not as convinced about heir though, could you elaborate on why you like him?

I'm still saving, but once I get that 35k (which should happen by sunday) I'll try [Draco] (2x Monk, Necrogeddon, 4x Ogre, 2x Nox.Den, BoD)
...Nox.Den to have neutral rally...BoD is just to have a chance vs. fear...Dredge will have to wait a bit more...

So I dunno whats wrong with me or my luck or something... because I've tried the decks posted here, plus adding a few tweaks based on the results I'm getting to try and compensate for some weakness.... and its failing miserably.

I'm 3/12 at the moment, and nothing seems to be working. Its not a matter of 'oh dam that was close, it was just bad luck' I just... don't even stand a chance.

Could the resulting failures be because I don't have Dracorex? I've tried both Lot and Lucina the Wicked, one isn't necessarily more favorable than the other based on my results.

Interestingly, no matter what combination I try it kills in the arena. So I thought I would have no problem in faction wars... but evidently thats not the case.

MAYBE its the order I'm playing them in.... but Orge/Asylum its not like there is much room for error there. Play a few orges to get the ball rolling then a few asylums, then whatever....

But my Orges are dying before they get a chance to activate. =/

Draco is pretty huge for an ogre deck, so that's what I would blame. You might wanna try using Dalia as I would guess she is second best.

The one I've been using a little:

And Acid, you really need some weaken all to make this work.

Using Dalia + blood wall + 2 aslyum + Razorgoth +ogres - sometimes it works - sometimes it fails miserably... (Ogres Cry for draco Sad

)

So, in contrast to my last post, I had accidentally left on my Orge deck and went to surge, and surprisingly I'm now 9/2 (Stupid fear decks).

Dalia: EMP, 5x Orge, 2x Pummeller, 2x Asylum

Thanks to those who suggested Dalia!

Necrogeddon fits too, but I don't have it.

I actually got this deck from kfsw, it's a pretty minor variation of some others posted in this thread but I've been using it for a few days now with better than 2:1 ratios so I figured I'd post it.

Draco, Ogre(5), Dredge, Niaq, Asylum, EMP, Plasma

sergeant Posts : 68 Join date : 2011-10-30

I recently started using Draco, Ogre(5), Asylum(2), Niaq, Elemental, EMP

Elemental is in there for support carriers and Niaq over dredge because Niaq is better against fear.
