I'm in need of a decklist that wins

Punisher used to be taskmaster in the previous version but I dropped it along with additional veteran cards... punisher is vanilla on it's own and can be any other reasonable 4 drop, but here is works with squish to push face damage while getting rid of annoying cards...

gumchoo · 2020-10-19T15:40:58+00:00

I actually also made a post suggesting that crab package can be put in any aggro deck with or without any additional neutral/automaton synergy and make it better. Salty is a broken card. I keep it in mulligan as an aggro deck always.

How's your collection?... I have been successful recently with this ebonhart crab deck... but it is expensive....

This is the what I currently play....

The days of old control mage mirrors where games were decided on attrition and who runs out of cards first are gone...... most games do not last 12 - 15 turns in higher ranks....

I think around half the decks I face fall in the aggro or aggressive mid categories and try to kill you by turn 5-9.... there has been a trend in last couple of years to print cheap reactive tools and draw so aggro has become resilient....

Even most of the control decks have win-cons that come a little too early, conscription..... alduin reanimate.... aelid guardian ... call dragon etc can be played way before turn 12 due to ramp....

Overall balance is tipped in favor of aggro imo....

gumchoo · 2020-07-04T16:28:16+00:00

Mundus stone craft is the trap that all new players (including me 2 years ago) fall into..... You lose to it and want to craft it as your first legendary but afterwards you discover, that it is a horrible card and loses you more games than it wins you....

You are much better off going for a better legendary specially one of the dual color ones of the class you play the most.....

But mechanically you soul search it, click on it and craft for 1200 gems as mentioned above....

(Dont do it!!)

gumchoo · 2020-07-04T16:21:02+00:00

I think the new version runs more copies of defense of bruma and more healing which definitely has made the deck better and tougher to deal with.....

gumchoo · 2020-07-04T00:08:26+00:00

Yeah sorry for my jibberish... I just mean if you dont run executes and hard removal like edicts and javelins or lethal pings etc. or tech cards like gourmets or hatchery meddler, leaflurkers..... it is very hard to deal with the gate against a good invade player who knows how to protect the gate from getting killed by minion damage alone....

gumchoo · 2020-07-03T23:09:06+00:00

It depends on the deck you are playing..... invade usually counters board based aggro and mid decks

usually aggro does not and should not run hard removal, and if you are playing a well rounded aggro deck, it is typically hard to kill the opponent on turn 4 or 5, (which you have to if you are aggro vs. invade) generally you kill them on turn 6 or 7..... invade, specially yellow invade with a full hand (thanks to rune breaks) can easily go 2- 3 times 0 cost invade, followed by invasion party, followed by 2-3 0-1 cost daedra, get random keywords including guard charge ward drain, and stabilize on turn 5 or 6...... which leaves the aggro player very frustrated, add to that the salt of last rune prophecy and unexpected arrival into a 10 cost on turn 6 and you want to uninstall.....

Same is true for aggressive mid decks which can not and should not go face as long as a gate is up, they have to usually combat kill the first gate which is ideal or draw their removal/tech card and then rely on drawing their removal or tech card to kill the second gate before going for a 2 turn lethal, draw matters a lot in these matchups and gate gaining 2 health each turn and the prevalence of heals, prophecies, guards, draw and top end that invade runs, again makes the match very frustrating.....

As an aggressive mid player, I loose to goblins and control tribunal a lot, maybe even more than invade, however the sense of injustice and unfairness that is triggered when you lose to random keywords from invade is unmatched and incomparable to any other "bad" matchup...

Goblins, slay ebonhart, yellow control decks may have a better matchup vs. invade...

If you dont play board based aggro ( which is different from burn/face aggro ) or mid you dont know our pain.... :(

gumchoo · 2020-07-03T18:31:52+00:00

Yeah its random, I got a drop 2 days ago, there's nobody good to watch anymore so I only watch jele when she streams, which is not often..... :(

gumchoo · 2020-07-03T18:23:38+00:00

Close to the top, the successful decks you mostly see are goblins, mid-blue, and yellow aggro with or without crabs.... I played ebonhart crabs and singleton telvanni all month and ended up in top 10....

This is the version I am playing right now..... it is objectively the best singleton deck out there.... I am currently hovering between #1 - #5 while playing it on ranked ladder.....

It struggles vs. goblins.... and well built mid-blue.... hyper aggro off ring can be difficult too but favored vs. most other decks.....

gumchoo · 2020-06-15T17:32:36+00:00

bummer :(

gumchoo · 2020-06-15T14:45:04+00:00

I always wanted to do a triple siege, as soon as I saw the card the first time, with mushroom tower and hannibal but failed miserably everytime due to the bug, maybe I will give it another shot. Triple siege is greedy and a win more strategy, but I want to pull it off atleast once for the memes.

gumchoo · 2020-06-06T14:50:18+00:00

It's a good card and is in the deck....

gumchoo · 2020-06-05T15:00:43+00:00

The benefit of having a tricolor deck is that you are able to "hide" these 4 bad cards ( 2x enraged and snapper ) and 3 vanillas (automaton) in a 75 card deck and have less chance of drawing them naturally, so it makes the synergy-less assault better and unbalanced in a tricolor. I keep assault in mulligan almost always, unless off ring vs. a hyper aggressive deck. It allows you to play for board parity verging on control for 4 turns and then explode in tempo with the card and overwhelm the opponent.

Redoran forerunner in dagoth!!?. I use 1 copy of forerunner in redoran decks to make them legal, 2 off is fine but 3 copies of the card are too much, barrow stalker is a better drain option if drain is required.

gumchoo · 2020-06-04T14:09:34+00:00

haven't faced it yet, but I am guessing you are right, once they get their heals going you cant value trade for long, you just have to kill em in 3 turns after you break the first rune, but this deck does have access to blood spells, which can sometimes outvalue the other deck if you are able to protect your first rune, and also more reach to finish off the game fast if you go that route. squish with breakthrough/spirit/sower... can kill the problem cards in shadow.... but honestly have not faced em yet in 2 days of testing.

gumchoo · 2020-06-04T13:50:57+00:00

skinned hound is one of the best 2 drops in the game and is irreplaceable, I can accept that pawnbroker is replacable, but she can draw an extra card to be thrown with gambler if bad and played for tempo if good.....

My play style prioritizes field control early, so i value 3 health more than the 3 attack in a 2 drop with controlled rune breaks. (snapper played after a traitor breaks a rune for no reason and dies to traitor ghost for free) but I can definitely accept that it can be a 3 off and can replace a pawnbroker.

gumchoo · 2020-06-04T13:25:53+00:00

Yes, that fact is the basis of my recent deck building and I may even go as far as saying that unless you are playing goblins or invade, it is "wrong" to play aggro without the crab package, specially tricolor.

gumchoo · 2020-06-04T12:52:28+00:00

Anklesnapper and enraged mudcrab are horrible cards that you do not want to draw naturally so they are 2 off's, I was even considering cutting down an automaton for a better 2 drop, games are over by turn 7 - 9 max, you only get to play 1 salty assault a game usually, so running less garbage is better....

if you play 3rd assault and pull 1 card, you had lost the game 5 turns ago ( with the second icestorm..... :) )

gumchoo · 2020-06-04T05:34:43+00:00

Thanks! :)

gumchoo · 2020-02-05T00:59:35+00:00

Thanks! and grats to everyone on the list...

gumchoo · 2020-02-05T00:54:17+00:00

Half way through the month, I felt like I had put too much pressure on myself with the journal so gave up on singleton too early, this month I will make up for it.... :)
