Shadowfen Raven Control

This deck is a standard controll deck and my attempt to counter a swarm deck.

This control deck uses ravens and knights to keep enemy at bay untill you can overwhelm them with Temple Guardians or High Priestess Klaxi

Dubious Hags, Green Prototypes, and Gifted Recruits are all answers to early agro

Summon Militia can sometimes fill gaps in defense and is a low cost threat

Felflare and Harpies of the Hunt can close gaps to prevent the enemy from playing

Felflare, Witches of the Wild, and Feral Shamans all serve as stronger removal

Blood mistress can convert those larger enemies after a Raven fails to kill it

Needle blast doubles as removal and a possible win condition

Finally Temple Guardians and HPK are your finishers and give you 20 or 22 strength respectively

Swarm of the East aggro Deck

This deck is very popular in the meda right now and has a simple, straight forward stratagey.

The goal is to chip away at the opponents health untill you can cast Herlad's Hymn on a strong enough unit, at their base to kill them.

Vindicators and Mischief can be used to deal direct damage to either close a game or bring you close to a final strike

Freebooters can sometimes give the player a second chance at drawing HH or Forgotten Souls if you are already at their base

Forgotten souls and Potion of Growth can be combined for an HH like effect

Thank you to Spicie for the submission

The 4 Kingdoms

Stormbound has 4 Kingdoms a player can choose to assemble a deck from; Swarm of the East, Winter Pact, Ironclad Union, Tribes of Shadowfen. By completing each Kingdoms campaign, a player earns 3 faction specific cards and 1 book of splendid containing 3 semi-random cards.

Each Kingdom has it's own strengths and weaknessess, and all Kingdoms have access to neutral cards who borrow themes and mechanics from all tribes.

Swarm of the East

Unit types: Undead, Saytr

Keywords/Abilities: Command, Spawn, Gain Strength, Bordering, Damage to Base, High speed

Swarm uses tedious undead and numerous satyrs to overwhelm and move around the enemy. The undead have abilities that deal damage directly to the opponent and have some of the highest movement speed in game. While the Satyr fill the board and grown stronger in each other's precense.

Winter Pact

Unit types: Dwarf, Frostling

Keyword/Abilities: Freeze, Gain Strength, Gain mana, Structures, Bordering, High Health

Winter Pact will wait and allow the weather to take it's tool before coming at you with giant threats. Though it is one if the least mobile Kingdoms, they draw strength from eatchother and will hold off untill you can finish the game in one or two calculated attacks.

Ironclad Union

Unit types: Rodent, Construct

Keywords/Ablities: Push, Structures, Gain Strength, Damage to Board, Spawn, Keeps Growing

Iron clad knows it's Constructs look out for each other, focusing on well rounded units who aren't to be taken lightly. The roadens manipulate the board by moving units or throwing explosives meant to wipe out anything in their way.

Tribes of Shadowfen

Unit types: Raven, Toad

Keywords/Abilities: Poison, Spawn, Drain, Convert, Destroy Unit, Random

Shadowfen uses it's Ravens powerful magic to kill and controll the board, and is willing to sacrifice anything to win. The Toads make perfect scouts so you can all ways find your target and are a bit unpredictable.

Neutral

Unit types: Knight, Pirate

These cards serves to Ballance the other 4 Kingdoms, barrows abilities and themes from each Kingdom, and provide players with cards to answer common threats and tactics. This allows you to Barrow mechanics from one Kingdom and use it in another.

Why Stormbound

I have played many TCG's throughout my life. Stormbound brings all the excitement of collecting artistic, and flavourful cards you would expect, and adds a new element of strategy by incorporating a 4×5 checker's board. This game runs on a free to play model that gives fair rewards to it's players. If you climb the ranks every months and remember to do daily quest, you are given in game rewards and can clearly track your progress and growth. The payed for content offers deals that give a lot for your money. I know in Magic The Gathering, decks cost 100s of dollars to construct. For 50$ a new player can have enough cards to build a deck with a clear strategy and real chance of winning. This game has been so much fun to play and I encourage anyone who wants to try it out to do so.
