Overlooked immortals - Ursa

[nkeates]

There seems to be a desire to look at Overlooked immortals and cards that are also overlooked. To this end lets look at Ursa. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL GENERATE SOME DISCUSSION AND STRATEGY TALK!!!!!

I chose Ursa because-

a) I haven't seen anybody post an Ursa deck or even use him yet.
b) His support cards IMHO are not great.
c) I thought it would encourage others to post
d) Most importantly IT WILL START SOME DISCUSSION.

Ursa I may have no cards but I still have friends deck

or Ursa and my buddy Maurice.

Yep the cornerstone of this deck is Maurice. Yep Maurice...when did you last see a deck containing Maurice?! but he is awesome with Ursa. Maurice allows you to search through your deck dumping cards as you go. But because of Ursa's ability he doesn't exhaust as Maurice is not a drawing mechanic so he can run through his deck time and time again to get the cards he needs.

Notice No Ursa in game cards in the deck!

Strat
Get opp prone as soon as poss. Use Dirty Tick, Hunter or fear the reaper. With prone, Master adv, Ramirez Q, it will take 3 dodges to discard to play a dodge from hand. Master of Scythe also makes you discard a def when you play a head shot. You will be throwing a Fear the reaper most turns with Maurice. Alternatively Maurice will always find you one or any toolbox that you need.
Ursa really rocks in end game because using Maurice you should always have a doors of time ...no ability loss for you my son.

Well there it is . DISCUSSION STRATEGY ANYONE

The first card I thought of with Ursa was Maurice. After that I was thinking of using Avery Hoskins and forcing lots of exertions.

That deck is brilliant! I went a totally different direction with mine, but I'm at work so I can't post it. I'll try to post it later.

Sweet deck! When I looked at the Ursa deck back at Gen Con my first thought was the 28 card hand size deck, but this looks better.

[warlock]

d**n I never looked at this character out of the box like that. That's a cool build.

[Heel Santa]

I just never looked at the immortal period because he's no Damon Case. lol! Looks great Nigel!
