Back to Wizbits Elemenstor Battle Strategy

Full Chest Slam

One of the more famous decks created by recDOTgamesDOTcardDOTelemenstor in its brief history. Historically, Chests had been considered underpowered by the Wizbits Elemenstor Battle crowd, most preffering Dressers and Side Tables as the staple furniture in their decks. However, in a two day long brainstorming session, sparked of by a Troll's off-hand comment The Full Chest Slam was created.

All though concieved as a joke, this Elemenstorless deck made of marginal, fringe cards is suprisingly effective if played with a bit of finess. The basic concept is to pack the deck with as many different Chest cards as possible. The only non-Chest card to go in the deck is, of course, the now-errated Slam Shut (Card), which should make up 15% of the deck. Although a slow deck, once it gets running the multitude of Chests plus the Slam Shut (Card)s means that you can effectively stop any pillar resolution at any time, including reverse sub-pillars and damage pillars.

While historically lacking a little in offence the printing of The Chest is Full of Chests (Card) now turbo charges the deck allowing a player, in the right circumstances, to interrupt and play their entire hand of chests during an attack which can overwhelm even a well prepared opponent.

Traditional counters to the deck include the cards Creaky Hinge (Card), Full to Overflowing (Card) and ;;;;;:; (Card). While Creaky Hinge (Card) and Full to Overflowing (Card) have limited use outside of anti-chest decks and ;;;;;:; (Card) is an Unspeakable card the newly printed Jammed (Card) is a multi-purpose card that could see the utility of the Full Chest Slam shortly curtailed.
