The Great Maw\*\*\* Bone Dragon\*\*\* Mercy\*\*\* Skeleros\*\*\* or Green Slime \*\*\* (depending on opponent team) Orc Banner (Brown/Red) with Skeleros Broken Banner (Brown/Blue) with Green Slime The trick to smooth, fast gameplay is to only use Mercy if she will get an Extra Turn or you will hurt yourself. ---

I’m currently using Maw \*\*\* Deep Borer \* Bone Dragon \* Mercy \*\*\* (+2 brown banner) Deep Borer covers red mana and converts gems to brown, helping out Maw (and Bone Dragon). Also Deep Borer destroys all gems in a single column which has managed to help me to finish filling up maw when a match isn’t possible to do the job, even when the resulting brown gems don’t match. Biggest problems I’ve come across are teams that use Treant/Tyri at the top which removes brown gems, making it hard to charge Maw. That or the AI getting very lucky drops and just killing off Maw with skull drops before I can charge him. Now that Mercy is released, however, maybe it’s a better idea to switch the banner to +2 yellow and just rely on that, although bone dragon will suffer. ---

Each Maw can cast their spell, allowing you to devour 3 troops instead of one, until the bug is fixed. That being said it’s not the easiest task in the world to get them all charged up, even when their resulting cast creates yellow/brown gems. ---

That particular team looks SUPER SLOW to me if Mercy does not have a 4 match of Yellow/Purple. Do you just resign if there is no 4-match to speed things along? ---

If no purple connect i just match yellow or brown or skulls usualy eat the first guy cause of third trait. It look slow but trust me when first maw is full you can’t stop the train ---

Im planning that team in the future; except for the 4th troop. Im hoping the brown generator that gets released slides in nicely, be great if it used red as one of its mana colours. ---

> [@Rickygervais](#): > > usualy eat the first guy cause of third trait. Unfortunately for me, my Maw’s third trait only procs about 15% of the time. So while its is nice, I can’t rely on it. I really need a mana generator or an Empowered troop. The SPEED issue only come into play if I can not find a Mercy mana match right off the bat. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions I’ll give the teams a try. ---

Could try using an Empowered Siren. That has the potential to backfire, but aside from Mercy there’s no reliable Empowered mana generators to feed your Maw. ---
