Challenge Decks

Every week (on Monday or maybe Tuesday), a new deck will be up on this page, with a Challenge tied to it. This Challenge can be ANYTHING – check the archives for more!

You can play the Challenge Deck for a more ‘fun’ Underworlds experience. Our aim with these decks is that they all can be played in a standard Nemesis Game without breaking any rules, so all are Organized Play legal. When you win, let us know on our Discord Server for a small reward :).

For more info, check out our announcement article.

• Soul Raiding
• The Challenge Deck for this week involves winning a game with Cyreni and Realmstone Raiders using the exact deck above. Realmstone Raiders is a deck which people hate despite it having some pretty scorable cards. Don’t believe me? Well, try to win with this deck and find out!

• Tournament Weekend
• Since we were almost all at tournaments this past weekend, we wanted to commemorate that by making the Challenge Deck for this week to reproduce our results with our warbands. And one of them is slightly harder to win with than the other. Win a game with Thanatek’s Tithe PnP CtC, as shown in the link above, with the exact deck to win this Challenge. They are the second most OP warband now, but good luck nonetheless!

• No Touchy!
• With the arrival of Nexus of Power we finally have a consistent way to increase our range. For this week’s challenge, we’re trying to make the most out of the deck. Play with Morgok’s Krusha’s with this exact deck, but never make an attack targeting a fighter adjacent to the attacker. You can make ranged attacks or melee attacks, just don’t attack anyone adjacent. Good luck!

• Hold without Hold
• We all love building traditional strategies with untraditional decks! Especially when the strategy just got a new deck. Your goal for this week is to win a game playing a hold deck. The twist? You may NOT use ES, PnP or NoP. There are multiple decks that could work, but here is a CtC/EotK deck for The Starblood Stalkers. Good luck!

• No Kills Aggro
• We all know and love aggro. But is aggro without kills possible? Surely! Your goal for this challenge is to win a game WITHOUT using PnP or ES, but also without making a single kill. There are multiple routes to this, so deckbuilding is allowed, but we of course do provide a Realmstone Raiders Thanatek deck as an example. Good luck!

• Anti-Wurmspat Knives
• We all hate Wurmspat and since we cannot stop using the February patch notes for content, this week’s Challenge Deck will focus on killing the new nerfed Wurmspat with the new buffed Knives! To win this challenge, you must beat the Wurmspat using the exactly provided deck, which according to my calculations should be the most Anti-Wurmspat deck in the game.

• The Sniper
• New deck, new Ranged attack, new range buff upgrade… many have already talked about the hypothetical 8 Range Attack and this Challenge Deck is just that! Your goal for this challenge is to not only win by glory total but also make the Range 8 Attack in your game. If you make the Range 8 attack but lose on glory total, we’ll let it slide – just show us the farthest range attack in Underworlds yet! The deck provided for this week is not required but recommended.

• Kamanpingers
• With the new Kamandora’s update they not only become great pingers but also great Staggerers. We cannot not honor this, so they are this week’s Challenge Deck. While the deck provided is optional, you win the challenge by playing a deck with a dedicated goal of pinging your opponent – through Staggers or pings (with Kamandora’s Slayers, obviously) . The provided deck does just that! Let the pingstorm commence!

• Boring, Uninspiring Even
• Another Uranos-inspired deck where the goal of this challenge is to win a game with either Gnarlspirit Pack or The Crimson Court without inspiring! Both warbands have an ‘inspire-lite’ condition, allowing you to get a little benefit, but it’s not nearly as strong as normally inspiring. To beat this challenge, you must win a Nemesis game with Crimson Court of GSP without ever inspiring a single fighter. You do so, you lose. The deck is not set in stone – feel free to use whatever you feel is best! The attached deck is just a starting point. Good luck!

• The Deck Written in the Stars
• A Reckless Fury deck that focuses on holding? This Jaws of Itzl deck provided by URANOS provides us with a very interesting take on the ‘charge token deck’. See if you can make this deck work as well as URANOS did! This deck is inspired by the linked article.

• Reparations
• Zarbag’s Gitz PnP/CtC have long been the bane of Emberguard. This challenge is for the ‘Gitz abusers’ who feel bad – play this exact PnP/CtC deck which skips arguably the strongest cards in the pairing and focuses on making the lesser used cards work! Good luck – let’s just say you will need it. This deck is inspired by Spent Glory’s Unlucky 13 Article! Check it out here.

• Wurmspat Faction Deck
• First of all, massive shoutout to Uranos on Discord for this absolutely stellar idea! This week, the challenge deck is a flashback to the old Wurmspat faction deck from V1 – here it is if you are interested. ES/WnR offers a nice mix of cards to recreate this deck. To win this challenge, you must win a Nemesis game using exactly the listed deck.

• Rooted In
• Win a game without moving! Pushes and teleports are allowed. Deck is recommended but not required.
