Notes on Mission 192

[Hunter Hogan]

1. Four flying Assault cards and Enclave Warp Gate (Summon Flying cards)
2. But, only one AntiAir card
3. One Strike All card, two more Strike 1 cards
4. Enfeeble All 1, Enfeeble 2 
5. Siege All 1, Siege 1 Commander, Siege 2 on Attacked
6. Mimic Commander
7. One slow Chaos card (but with Mimic on the Commander, you probably should have much or any activation skills to be Chaosed anyway)
8. Warp Sculpter, kill it and the Monstrosity spam or you will die
9. The only Rally is the Commander's Rally Zeno 2.
10. No Heal WRONG! Warp Sculpter has Heal All Xeno 1, no Leach, no Supply, no Refresh in the enemy deck

Strategy ideas:

1. Use Flying cards
2. Bring lots of AntiAir 
3. Siege is a good idea
4. Avoid Structures (especially if you have Siege on an Assault card!)
5. Avoid skills that the Commander can Mimic: Supply is ok; do not use Heal on an Assault card
6. Use Weaken All, tons and tons of Weaken All. If you can activate Weaken All 3, then you probably cannot be killed
7. Well, except for the Strike All 1 possibly combined with Enfeeble All 1, so Protect All 1 or something
8. Swipe
9. No Strike
10. Refresh

Meh. It's pretty crappy, but easy to build.

Angel wings/Apex, Counter, strike on play/death works well here too.

Here is the deck that the optimizer spewed out for me. Over 99% ordered, according to the optimizer. I didn't check this deck on SimTyrant, but I never lost with this deck. I'm posting this as another example deck. You may be able to build this, you may not. But if Zero spam on that one mission was considered useful because of knowledge gained on how to build decks, this might be useful too. Use the optimizer; it will build you decks that can demolish the missions.

You should note a few things:

This deck has lots of the things hunterhogan recommended.

Dracorex has Weaken All 1
Gun Raven has AntiAir and Swipe
Atelier has AntiAir, summons a Pinion which has Flying and Swipe
Hydra has AntiAir and Siege
Clamber Husk has Siege and Protect All 1
Radiance is a Protect All 2 action card

Other interesting things:
Nimbus was very very briefly considered by my optimizer... then replaced with Fortifier, which stayed for the rest of the optimization. This is interesting because Nimbus has both Weaken All 1 and Flying. Maybe it was because Jam could be Mimicked?

Expect to see Heart of Corruption in my optimization results a lot. Eviscerator too. My optimizer seems to love those two.

The optimizer seems to have preferred Protect over Weaken. Makes sense, because Protect also protects against Strike, and the enemy has almost no Pierce. The only Pierce the enemy has is from the Fangs summoned from the Enclave Warp Gate.  So consider throwing in some Armored units like Fortifier.

I did not have Ragnarok at the time of this optimization, so I can't comment on whether or not it would be effective with its Weaken All 2 and Siege 3. Or whether or not it would be better than Heart of Corruption in this case.
