This is basically the ultimate reactive deck IMO - you have so many tools to deal with your opponent and have a really strong punish if they overcommit or mess up.

With this deck you're looking to let your opponent push towards you, you can drop a necromancer or Thalnos early to either take chest (if no defias bandits) or push the long lane if you don't want to waste gold.

The point of this deck is to use your strong control and AoE units/spells to deal with grouped enemy minis and then use Gargoyle to counter push once you've seen your opponent overcommit. You can use blizzard/chain lightning to help protect your gargoyle and try to win through pressure through multiple lanes

THALNOS
Good leader, strong AoE with long range. Talent wise I think Bane is the best but only because the actual amount he heals with Vampirism feels really bad.

GARGOYLE
Strong split pushing mini with Wing Buffet which is IMO the best talent (or the most adaptable and usable talent). Like my Rend deck you want to make sure this is being used as a solo threat and drawing a response from your opponent

NECROMANCER
One of the best defensive/counter pushing minis in the game - really like this unit especially with cult of the damned

CHAIN LIGHTNING
I've seen Mr Brute use Arcane Blast as a stealth reveal spell and I kinda like that idea but I am using Chain Lightning due to the stun - which is super useful for interrupting attack animations and resetting aggro

DEFIAS
Great little 1 cost unit and amazing ECO unit if you have pick lock. The stun utility they provide for 1 cost is CRAZY

WHELP EGGS
Best unit in the game with flame burst IMO - not even close!
