I messing about with energy/nature, but im not having very much succes. And if you go pure energy, what are cards that you just have to have, or that you never put in your deck? I haven't done much with multi color, but some people have had success with them. It seems the different Memorial cards are required to help with the different mana colors, which give mana when you play them. Splashing a few key cards from another color, especially 3 or lower cost cards will be easier than having a more even split. There are some multi color deck discussion and ideas here: http://www.scrollsfans.com/forums/scrolls/discussion/26068-multi-color-deck-impossible?page=2 I haven't played a lot of energy outside of the preconstructed deck, but there is a discussion about it at http://www.scrollsfans.com/forums/scrolls/scrolls/35657-energy-is-overpowered Some of the most popular cards include Thunder Surge, Violent Dispersal, Blind Rage, Burn, Cannon Automaton, Gravelock elder with all the other gravelocks, Hellspitter Mortar, Potion of Resistance, but I'm sure there are several viable builds out there. You can check this Price Guide to get a ball park idea of what common asking prices in the trade channels are. Of course you can find traders selling for much more or less than those prices on occasion, but at the very least they give you a rough idea of the demand for different cards. | ||

I played against an energy/growth deck that was mainly energy but had growth for gravehawk and dryadic power. Seemed to be quite effective. | ||

You could just put a couple druid burial grounds in the middle of 3 waking stones. and watch people cry. they need 3 people attacking every turn to even break the stones. not that it matters when growth is probably the weakest deck at getting that third idol. | ||

I keep 3 tick bombs in my deck instead of incendiaries exclusively for that reason | ||

I haven't looked at Hearthstone that closely, but Scrolls has some similarities to Magic, with quite a few differences. The similar premises include the idea that you are creating your own deck of cards which include creatures, enchantments and spells to try and attack your opponent with. With Scrolls you have a hex board with 5 different lanes and 3 rows in each lane, and your creatures can move on the board to block, attack or try and avoid attacks. Each player has 5 idols at the back of each lane, and if you destroy 3 of your opponents idols you win. With Magic there is no board, and creatures can choose to block any attacking creature normally (there are exceptions such as flying creatures can only be blocked by other flying creatures, and some creatures are unblockable, ect). You win by reducing your opponent's life total to zero from the starting point of 20. Magic has instant effects which allow you to take actions on the other players turn to do things like counter spell one of their cards for example, where Scrolls you can only act on your turn. Creatures attack every turn in magic except for the turn they are first played, where in Scrolls different creatures have different cool downs on how fast they attack. In Magic you play land cards to get mana that you use to cast spells, and usually you can only play one per turn. For example with green you play a forest which will give you one green mana each turn when you tap (use) it. In scrolls you can discard any card in your hand to increase your mana total by 1 for the rest of the game, with that total replenishing to full each turn. Or you can choose to discard a card from your hand to draw two cards. You can only do one of the two, and only once per turn. Magic has been around a lot longer so the card pool is huge in comparison, and generally speaking it will be much more expensive to play. I'm sure there are some other things I am forgetting, but hopefully that helps some. | ||

I was sitting in 12 resources with 2 lightning strikes and 2 violent dispersals in my hand and it was basically just anything that got put on the board by either side was just immediately removed from play. Energy's removal ability seems very silly once you get to like 10+ energy. | ||

Energy's removal ability seems very silly once you get to like 10+ energy. The same is true for Orders and Growths abilities to churn out creatures at that stage. I have lost games because I kept drawing removal, while my Order opponent kept drawing low mana cost creatures. I simply couldn't deal with them all, because at some point you have to rely on creatures to deal with the board state or it becomes inefficient. | ||

An opponent who prioritises your idols is generally easy to deal with as Energy. The way it works is that if the other player doesn't stop you from setting up in the center he will have a lot of trouble doing just about anything. Likewise as an Energy player you can't let the opponent amass their Growth/Order units or their God Hand/Honourable General will wreck you. You have to consider the board state before you can think about attacking idols, so losing idols early is pretty rare for me. Even then it's always the middle one if my opponent manages to power through all my stuff. | ||

Even then it's always the middle one if my opponent manages to power through all my stuff. What I mean is that as energy I basically disregard 2 of my idols (bottom two or top two), especially vs growth because if you try to fight on 5 lanes at once you're just at a disadvantage, so as energy you can 'constrict' the fight to 3 lanes as you please and give yourself 3 lanes to build up on. The other player will not focus on the idols in those other 2 lanes either because as you said, they lose out if they do so, but if they want to fight my units then they need to clump theirs together on those 3 lanes which sets up lightning storms / blasts which become very strong vs. clumped up growth/order units. I guess to be more exact, you are sacrificing 2 lanes rather than 2 idols. | ||
