A Power and Earth based deck based around my favorite creature and his minions(Agitos and Nivenna aren't stated to be, but for the sake of theme, they are his minions now)

The only person in this group who doesn't really fit into the theme synergy as well is Nivenna, Atrapol is cool as he destroys Battle Gear when he wins a challenge. But the down side to the substitution is that you lose a mage-like char. So I guess you really would be using Nivenna for her counters instead of ability.

I would remove geo flourish. Usually you don't' run heal in a UW deck, it breaks the meta of the burn/damage type. And usually the 15 health won't save you too much in combat. Roar of the Mobcan be a useful card because you can cast it on a mage - forcing your opponent to either use up counters or to denial it.

I thought of Atrapol...but his Power is abysmal for that kind of ability, averaging around 50. I could give him Khybon's Mech Blade, but I feel it is better served on Zamool, who is far more competent than Atrapol. I do like the idea of Roar of the Mob, that could probably work out

Roar of the mob is a great card.

I happen to disagree with Mril though, I'm a huge fan of Nivenna. She gives you high in-combat damage that does not count as burn and therefore gets around abilities like Cromaxx's. I will say though, that your attack deck doesn't really have enough Earth attacks to run her with efficiency. Either swap her out for another support, or make your attack deck a little more Earth focused.

Any other suggestions then to replace her with?

I would suppose Ulmar in his DOP form would work okay for that. Before you say it, yes, I know Chaor would be the best option, but I would like to preserve the theme of the deck a little.

Oddly enough, Atrapol's Courage is his best stat. Weird.

And I like Phelphor, I didn't think of that. He fits the theme as well.

He's good too, but I think Phelphor is better in the end. H'earring has a lovely ability though and I did forget about it, I'll think about using him in others

Kopond HM is pretty broken for a support. Especially if your mugics are damaged based. But you might have ignored him because of the deck theme?

Correct, while his bio says he's sinister and sneaky, it also says that he's loyal to Chaor and hates Lord Van Bloot as much as anyone

I was about to go bashing on the fact Nivenna was in there, but I realized I was assuming it was the LT, I don't know the original one well enough to bash it since Nivenna LT is probably better put into mixed decks. But other than that that was the only thing I almost noticed might be able to be subjected to change like some of the other comments suggest.

Edit: I suppose I might have some input for this also, if this is suppose to be Van Bloot's army, shouldn't like Krekk and Skithia be in it?

Those two would definately fit the theme, but they won't do much for the deck. Or any deck for that matter. Maybe throw a Doom Hammer on someone? Castle Rathwaq would be good for this deck too. I use it in two of my power/earth decks and the reduced damage really takes the steam out of opponents. I also sometime uses Leevatar on Galmadar. That gives him a good speed bump to more complament LVB and the extra 5 can add up when you get a hand full of weak attacks. I think your last support creature should be custom tailored to the type of decks that you end up having trouble with. Like if you struggle with attack recycling decks like SCR, then H'earring Tainted all the way. But I'd start out with Phelphor and see how the movement works out. Maybe stick Zammy up front and move a Galmadar in row 2 with a Bronzeflight if decks with range hurt your strategy too bad at first.

Krekk and Skithia were considered, but I unfortunately dropped them. Krekk Phalanx Recon's energy is low and his power is too, so I felt he wasn't all that good. Skithia, oddly enough, has decent power, but her energy is low and I feel that her ability is a little too situational. It's a shame, because I really like them.

Castle Rathwaq is a good idea, I'm adding that. As for the Levitaar, that's probably a good one too.

I forgot about that, yes. Agitos is like that too, but they are better than Skithia or Krekk

Yeah, i suppose that makes sense why not to add Skithia and Krekk, you'd have to more than likely waste battlegear just to boost up their weaknesses. If it was me I'd still probably end up putting Skithia Gothos Spy in somehow, but I'd probably end up using a battle gear to boost her energy or end up putting her in a Gigantrooper, which would kinda be beside the point.

I feel that's a bit of a waste of space, unfortunately. I could replace one of the Galmedars, but it wouldn't really be worth it. Ironically, Skithia with a Gigantroper has less power than Skithia without.

I do want to make a deck with Skithia, Krekk, or Atrapol, but all of them are just so...eh. Skithia's energy is always painfully low, Atrapol's power is far too low for what he's meant to do(though he is easier to work with), and Krekk tends to have meh stats
