I absolutely love playing Purrely, and I've gone through two renditions of my Purrely deck to satisfy my playstyle. However, I am incredibly evil as well, and I've done dabbling in decks like Bystial-Runick. When I went to a local a few days back with my Spright Purrely deck, in an incredibly long game against a Feindsmith-White Forest player, a passer by commented on a potential stun Purrely variation with Runick as an engine. "That's disgusting" I thought, anything mixed with Runick is pure evil.
So when the August 31st Banlist was announced, I thought of creating a Purrely Runick deck utilizing some of the changes to the new F/L list. Some things of note...
- Since no Runick hits were made, I decided to just utilize a complete package save for a few select cards (Smiting Storm is at 1 becasue it's decent in some situations, Dispelling is very situational, Golden Dropplet is a huge no).
- 1 of each Fusion except Freki, Slepnir is diet S:P, Geri and Hugin for obtaining/looping Fountain, and Munin for time.
- Eva's unbanning gives me an opportunity to test it in Purrely. It can search out a few options, specifically Purrely and any of the hand trap Heralds which are in this deck as well, as it can banish Hugin, Purrely, or Munin. Herald's not in this deck because Herald has no way of getting tributed.
- 2 of Beauty and ExNoir, 1 of the rest of the Epurrelys. this is, for me, a standard of most Purrely decks.
- This is a risky gambit, but 1 Stray Purely Street and 2 M.F. Purrelys. This is for consistency, as Runick makes it very easy to draw into Purrely.
- Sylvan Princessprite at 1 is an optional no-brainer. Its effect to draw into a spell/trap is a near guaruntee.
- Staples: S:P, Ash Blossom and Droll in Main/Extra, Harpie's and Ghost Bell/Ogre in the side. Numbers are at 2, but I'm keeping them at this for testing purposes.
- Black Goat is a test, I see it in a few top decking Purrely builds, and this can be swapped out for anything.
- Evenly Matched at 2 is something I'm mixed about, as it's only at 2 for fitting everything in the side deck.
- Floodgates in side: 2 Graves, 1 Skill Drain, 1 Anti-Spell.
