One of my old favourites has always been: Dark Elven Banner (Purple/Green) Treant Swamplash Sylvasi Green Seer Works better at lower levels than higher, but still pretty solid when I take it out from time to time. ---

Assuming that there’s a lot of leeway here, and not knowing what you have available to you in your roster, including leveling and traits… I kinda like my +25 Yellow Mastery team of: Herdmaster Zephyros Ranger Dust Devil Silverglade Banner Fully traited: You get three _Air Links_ from Herdmaster, Zephyros and Dust Devil, allowing for bonus mana when matching yellow gems. Herdmaster in first slot gives you the _Leader_ bonus (+3 to all Skills), along with the nominal +2 Life for the _Centaur Bond_. Zephyros gets +2 Life for _Giant Bond_, and +2 more for being an Elemental, courtesy Dust Devil’s _Elemental Bond_ trait. Ranger will get +2 Life for _Wargare Bond_, and _Air Spirit_ will grant you an additional +4 Magic, one for each yellow ally. Dust Devil gets +2 Life for _Elemental Bond_, and you really can’t go wrong with _Empowered_. And, you kind of have all the colors covered, with the exception of Red, thus the Silverglade Banner (-1 Red Mana). Also, three troops can hit all enemies with damage, however minimal. ---

What is your play style? Do you like to do more Explosions for damage or do you enjoy board-control (Spawn gems and Transform the colors to get Extra Turns). There are other play styles too, everybody has their own. Do you like playing with all the newest cards or do you have a less diverse roster? ---

Personally I use border explosion for mana, and use spells that hit all enemies. Border control is great to because of looping and it can take care of a 9000 team if used right. Also, I do not care about what the age of a card is I will use it. Give me all ideas I do not care what they are. ---

You might find something useful here: > [@GoW Team Build Compendium](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/gow-team-build-compendium/15464): > > So, in light of the “Worse Than Bone Dragon” thread, which you can easily find elsewhere, I have decided to start a thread where people who enjoy SHARING their teams may do so. I have always been impressed with the openness and camaraderie of this forum and this is my attempt to create a place where that generosity can be appreciated by new and old players alike. Please share your BEST Teams with the community! (If this is not your style, please respect the thread and don’t troll. Thanks!) To … Good Luck!! 😉
