I know that the easiest deck, and best deck to build is by far the Curve Sents. Now after looking at a few of the top Sent decks I have not seen where it just owns people. I have never seen the deck played, and I have never used the deck so obviously I am missing something.
I just don't see the flow and ownage it posseses.
Can someone explain how each card can help make this bad boy a pure winner?
CS rarely misses it's drops, has great characters with awesome abilities at each drop, great plot twists like recon program and is easy to play. What more could you want? :) Apart from something a little more interesting to get your head around.
Magneto: He helps with Genosha, and he's just a fat character with a strong effect.
Nimrod: If you have an Army character around when he hits the field, you get a free 'unstunability' effect.
Mark V: A 4-drop you can play again if you miss a higher-drop character that doesn't replace its partner, and it gets bigger. Add to that its auto-reinforcement effect, and you have a solid mid-game character.
Mark II: This 3-drop's stats aren't great, but it provides an instant anti-control element. It comes with a limited Utility Belt, which is all too powerful against certain non-combat decks.
At this point, all the characters mentioned have flight and range, which is great for making your formations and disrupting an opponent's.
Hounds of Ahab: If you can attack directly with this 2-drop, you get a free Finishing Move. Otherwise, a hidden 2/2 is not amazing, but it's a big threat.
Boliver Trask: Pay a resource point, and search for an Army Sentinel character. This 1/1 can get you your Hounds, which can start a Hounds Lock with an ATK pump, or you can grab a Mark II or Mark V to recruit later or have to fuel Bastion.
The non-character cards other than those mentioned really should speak for themselves.
Plus your character have flight and range so no one can hide.
Your characters are army so your characters can have more than 4 in your deck and use doubles as power ups, and for Bastion's effect.
1/ Boliver Trask (search for Hounds, 3 drop, 4 drop/possible 5 drop = consitency)
2/ Hounds Of Ahab (you can start a KOing lock on your opponent)
3/ Sentinel Mark II (was a negation ability on your opponents characters activate abilities)
4/ Sentinel Mark V (has good stats and gives reinforcement to your characters so you dont lose break through, and you can boost it to cover your 5 drop)
5/ Nimrod (your opponent has to attack him twice to stun which means you stun them and they dont stun you so you get board advantage)
6/ Bastion (you can use all your other drops in your hand for his effect instead of being dead cards like in other decks, and you can pump your way out of a stun on defence and incease ATK to stun a character your opponent has even if they are bigger)
7/ Magneto (he has flight range and good stats. if your opponent doesnt get to recover his characters and you go to turn 8 you will win because your too powerful. and you can pop genosha to find more powerful cards to use)
Then you have all the good plot twists that can bash your opponent.
Thank you to the people that actually helped here, and explained cards in the deck to me unlike some who just said thier head hurt. I don't think my post was that difficult to read.
Also guys thanks very much on this assistence. But I know that some CS decks run Apoc, but if you have 4 Genosha, it KO's itself for a 4 card draw with magneto out, then how do you get to turn 8 by having only 7 resources?
Also the PT are just the basics in beatdown, dodge, recon program. Is search and destroy, nasty, and flame trap all in the deck too?
(thank you very much for the help here, I had always been so curious on what made this deck so damn good)
Apoc is there when the matchup turns out to be a stall deck to either Anti-Monitor / Dr. Light boost / Onslaught etc. There's little (ok, maybe not a little) that CS can do to a dedicated stall / control deck and it can eschew the Genosha card draw in favor of assuring that the stall deck never reaches its critical winning turns.
