After last night I felt I should post another of my "Harmless until Proven Deadly" decks. My Brutal Orun Cannon deck is one of those...
This deck did a pounce bleed for 13 and killed it's prey. It is very fragile to Votes and fairly fragile to bleed. I do need to tweak this further, but any changes will leave the core Bleed/Bloat module alone.
Deck Name : Brutal Orun Cannon
Author : Juggernaut1981
Description :
Orun Pounce-Bleed Deck.
Just keep on taking probing actions (Nangila Rushes, bleed, etc...) drop some moderate combat (Crows + Bats for 3 and then let the combat end, or Majesty). If there are persistent blockers, rush them or bleed and do your best to suck all the blood off you can and try to use Carrion Crows + Aid from Bats, Press, Majesty in the next round to untap and allow you to take some other action or wait. When you see your prey is wide open, if you have the Oruns set up... declare the King-Bleed (Brutal Influence starts at 2, +1 for each Orun you tap, +2 from Iron Glare at [POT][PRE]) and hope it lands. You can also effectively bloat with Brutal Influence by not only bringing out minions for free, but over-filling them by 2 so you can spend your transfers to take the two back into your pool.
Top 3 largest bleed actions taken by this deck: 15, 13, 12. It's got a whopping king hit, you see it coming with a marching band and an army escort... but if that sucker lands... *fuh-slam*.
Funniest Moments: When people call Ancient Influence or Reins of Power. I've bloated 18 pool from Ancient Influence (8cap + 8 Oruns = effective 24cap) and had my predator suddenly kill his own referendum when he realised that the Reins of Power he was calling would oust my prey (8cap + 10 oruns = 28cap...)

I've thought about Aye/Orun decks, but I don't really know how they flow. Sounds like you've tested this a bit - any comments on that? I'm specifically interested to learn:
ReplyDelete- how many Orun end up on your minion(s) in an average game?
- how many turns, on average, does it take you to get three Orun into play?
- is the extra hand size or extra MPAs from your vampire special abilities crucial to making this work?
Nana Buruku is basically key to this deck. Her extra MPA is invaluable because you can clear 3 Orun in a Master Phase (Trifle, 1st MPA, Nana's MPA). Extra hand-size is to compensate for the fact that you will always want to play your masters and never play them out of turn. Getting an MPA and +hand in the SAME minion with all clan discipline superiors is excellent. Nangila Were is closer to icing on the cake.
ReplyDeleteI frequently get 6+ Orun onto a minion. I usually choose Nana, because of the burn conditions on Orun. Remember you can bleed for 1 or maybe 2 with Orun... so chip-probe bleeding to suck out blocks is worth doing even with your Orun minion.
I often get over 6 Oruns onto a minion by turn 5. Partly because the deck cycles very smoothly, but also because you can clear out up to 3 in a single Master Phase. Don't forget to play-replace so that any Oruns you draw immediately get played.
Nangila is useful because she can rush to suck out block or take out blockers.
Exile is fantastic. A Banishment without Votes is DEADLY. At [pre] it's less awesome but can be enough to suck out the defence so you can land that single mega-bleed.
***************
I haven't played Aye decks. They strike me as mostly combat-type decks and I'm not sure exactly how to go about it yet. I'd honestly prefer to use Abombwe more than the Aye tricks (even Poison Glands...).
I also don't think that Aye has the capability of Orun. Orun has light votes, Bloat, Bleed, Exile... and those seem to be the best uses for Orun.
