Shu Yun Equipment vs Auras

Deck Help forum

Posted on April 3, 2016, 4:44 p.m. by capriom85

Playing Tiny Leaders with Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest. Most of the "boom" comes from instant/sorcery pumps and Runechanter's Pike to round out the extra damage needed.

I have a few slots open and was wondering what I would benefit from more: equipment like the various swords or even Jitte, or would it be better to use auras like Steel of the Godhead and Daybreak Coronet?

I should note: I'm not looking into auras because its budget friendly, just wondering if it's in general stronger than equipments.

Both are fine, I've seen equally explosive versions of both. Auras are a bit easier to get going due to only playing 1 cost to get it on your leader, but if a timely removal spell comes along it leads to bigger blowouts. Equipment is a bit more expensive mana wise but way more resilient. I'd suggest a good mix, but Runechanter's Pike is the bee's knees. You can focus on one or the other but I'd have at least 3 or 4 of the other to make sure you're balanced.

My deck is VERY outdated and needs some serious updates, but it serves to illustrate a pretty potent take on Shu.

Cool, maybe I'll do the auras take on this with a smattering of "essential" swords to balance it.
