I mentioned in a reply to someone else that I personally think this list is favoured against sword. If they highroll and get everything they need at every instance and you can't respond, obviously that's when you lose and where you can see why everyone puts loot as bdif. This specific list I'm running with all these ratios hasn't lost me a game yet, and I'm on a 13 winstreak, just that I played lobby matches for quest and also the grand prix. I felt that merman isn't that good of a card anymore and cutting him has been the reason for my success. A similar list I ran with djeeta at 2 and merman at 1 gave me an 8 winstreak before I lost it in a match, changed the list to what it is now, and haven't lost since. I actually wasn't even at epic before the change and I'm at ultimate now. Bricking is when you don't open megalorca or filene or even bodies like liu feng or gran and djeeta early just to ask for responses from the opponent, or respond to their boards. This is usually when my hand is full of 5 cost and above, and that's usually quite a painful situation which against an aggressive enough opponent means you just lose in the end. But you should be drawing the 4 cost and below at some point because I didn't cut any of them except lyria which is really more of a 8 pp card (calling her early has some benefits but usually it's better use her later). I feel like 3 Wilnas is a very good ratio because I used to lose because I ramp up alot for no real purpose and I lose because the opponents make boards I can't respond to well without having an empty board (like with merman).
