Flesh & Blood - Top 4 Battle Hardened Bologna Riptide Deck Tech

[@madspedersen5968]

Very well done deck tech. Makes me want to play RipDaddy Dangerous.

[@tradefederations1628]

I'd highly recommend taking big Rippy for a spin

My lord and savior. Riptide mains rejoice!

Such words are blasphemy in the presence of the true Lurker of the Deep - do not worship false idols!

Peer-pressure-free shoutout to Declan Patrick for assisting in the testing of this list!

Any thoughts on where the new ranger cards might sit in this list, if at all?

[@tradefederations1628]

I've been trying to figure this out, and tbh I am not sure any of them do. The new equipment pieces work well with dedicated aim, as does the new arrow, and line it up seems to make more sense in a non-aim dedicated list. As this list is a split between the two and doesn't want to lean too hard into either, I am not sure if I would add any of the new cards. The new arrow could be a contender as it's base is 0 for 4, and if I play line it up too then I could use it as a sort of late game combo kill. But still need to test!

How do you side into kano?

[@tradefederations1628]

Run both AB pieces, Death Dealer, take out all of the 2 cost arrows, and take out all of the yellow traps (except one) and you have the 60 I play into Kano.

For the Runeblade matchup, do u prefer trench AB1 or bracer AB1?

[@tradefederations1628]

I prefer Trench right now, because firstly you can use your arsenal to AB in tight spots, such as when Vynnset is coming at you with the arsenal banish attack. Secondly, if you run Bracer instead, you are essentially giving up an entire equipment slot for nothing, as you rarely have safe spots to use Bracer offensively, whereas Trench is always active and giving you more than just AB.

[@levirexjones]

what would u cut for the third murkmire?

[@tradefederations1628]

Either an Endless Arrow (I found it to be less good without Snap Dragon Scalers) or a Searing Shot (1 is fine for a late game Codex target!)

[@levirexjones]

also. did i hear u changed leyline into red falcons?

[@tradefederations1628]

You did indeed hear it! I felt like the deck needed a bit more go again, but I needed it to be something that didn't cost anything, as I don't want to increase resource cost while dropping a resource card. It's still something I am testing though, so will see. Leyline was originally an idea for a pure Death Dealer list, as that deck is more susceptible to fatigue, so Leyline pitch-stacked can be like another Rain Razors. But because of Murky Dominate, this list doesn't get fatigued nearly as easily, and fatigue just isn't much of a thing this format anyway.
