![]() ![]() Sneakaz add a much-needed combat trick into a generally combat trick lacking faction, whilst also allowing for the Bommers to use their Reaction mid battle or triggering Brutal (or both). Throw a Clearcut into the mix and all those elites become incredibly difficult to deal with irrespective of what they’re against, and when Fall Back + Pad is backing them up they can even recur. Battlewagons deal with swarms and big non-AoE elites (even some AoE elites depending on the timing), Blitz Bommers add on the pressure and Brutes clear out annoying keywords, whilst also being good against big elites. The units used were focussed on Ork synergy, to maximise the usefulness of the Sneakaz, BiB, Brutal Cunning and Teleporta Pad. The deck does favour quick wins especially against command focussed decks, since the big units + Clearcut Refuge allow for some early planet rushing, especially if they’re running a cheaper command deck. Ideally, there needs to be around 6+ direct economy cards in order to keep the deck stable, and since BiB and STC only cover 4 of those I needed something else to fill the gap, hence the copies of Death Serves the Emperor + Fall Back (which also work brilliantly together). For this deck, such a card is a Bigga is Betta, but it could easily be Sae’lum Enclave, Bonesigner Choir or Promise of Glory in other decks (my other Ork deck uses both Promise of Glory and BiB, for example). This works in decks that have options to reduce the cost of non-elite units, as well as elite units, ideally with the same cards, as well as elite specific cost reduction. It’s a take on the high-low deck archtype, with more 2 cost units than you’d normally see. This is what I call a “mid-range elite” build. Whatever they gained in knowledge they quickly lost in combat presence :) I always took initiative when I won the roll since the deck favours rushes, whilst the Kiths and Eldoraths always gave me initiative due to the incorrect mindset that it’s the correct thing to do against Orks. One thing that was interesting was that I had initiative in almost every game (if not every game) and was against an opponent that mulliganned in almost every game. Probably helped that I put my cards in blue sleeves as well, however, since blue is the Ork colour for luck :) After going 9-1, I think it’s safe to say that it was a good choice ). Seemed to working well enough, so I thought “screw it” and go for the silly deck, especially since I didn’t at the UK Nats. ![]() ![]() Played this deck in 3 games the day before Worlds started, including against Nathan’s Kith, and won all 3 of them, which made me think “shit, this piece of jank is actually on to something”, so that night I made some tweaks and simulated hand draws for about 90 mins then did it again in the morning when I woke up. I thought about a decent strategy just before flying out to the States, decided to quickly throw it together with a bunch of proxies and brought a few side board cards in case it was going to matter. So now you might be asking, why did I take a deck I made the night before to a World championship given that I already had a decent deck already with a proven track record? Because I’m a janky motherfucker, that’s why :P. The deck I used in the BCL and the UK nats side events can be found here. I did pretty decently with Nazdreg in the BCL as well, only going out in the top 16 match because my stupid brain deciding to forget that I had a match organised, thereby causing me to miss my game. I was going to run him in the UK Nationals, but backed out at the last minute to play Worr instead, which was a mistake especially since I ended up going 10-0 with Nazdreg in the side events. I got to meet a bunch of awesome people and had a great time.Īs some of you know, I’ve been playing Nazdreg pretty heavily since about June/July. First thing’s first, Worlds 2016 was an amazing experience that was really well organised and had some great prize support.
