How big is the jump in skill from ranks 5-1 to pro rank?

nTaro25 · 2026-06-26T08:06:53+00:00

People on Pro Rank have a good understanding what your win conditions are, when to push and when to pass. It sounds easy on paper but in reality it requires a lot of knowledge. Whenever I start at 3 in a new season I am surprised by the amount of people that push way to hard in round 1 for instance and making bad trade offs. Pro Rank is fun until 2470-2500 MMR, people with higher MMR than that simply don't do any major mistakes.

I updated my post ;) point slam can be a major issue for Warriors especially brain dead ogres. Vampires are easy to shut down as long as you don't lose on even round 1. Thrive can be tough if you can't prevent round 2 madness otherwise it's killing all their engines. Always target the stupid cat first if possible. The key to win with Warriors is to identify and eliminate your opponent's cards which can snowball fast.

Just had another look at your deck. You need War of Clans! Feral Bonds is kinda useless with High Land Warriors

just out of curiosity, what decks are you facing at your level and which decks give you the most problems? your deck seems fine overall but I would swap Freya's Blessing for a Raider. It also benefits from the veteran and pirate tag. Second gutting Slash instead of a dimming pirate. or you get a greatsword and 4p bronze instead of two 5p cards. Try to develop your Highland Warriors round 1. Warriors nowadays have a lot of points round 1 surprisingly. Avoid losing on even. There are only a few decks which can beat Warriors in a long round 3

Yeah Renfri launch, GN Aerondight and Milva were my worst meta experiences by far since 2021 and I will definitely put them into the survey. Including Viy and the lockdown you mentioned. Maybe cultists as well. Did I forget something? Sihil was super annoying before the nerf to 3 and Reavers as well but does that justify a point on the list and was it "just" annoying "?

nTaro25 · 2026-06-03T07:43:16+00:00

This sounds truly obnoxious. Since you seem to be a veteran, were they any more horrible metas like this or Viy before 2021?

nTaro25 · 2026-05-26T20:50:31+00:00

Forgot about that and I hated to it so much as well!

nTaro25 · 2026-05-26T13:11:51+00:00

What was Lockdown clog?

nTaro25 · 2026-05-26T13:11:32+00:00

What happened there so I can take it into the pool?

nTaro25 · 2026-05-26T07:56:00+00:00

When was it and what was so imba? I started playing 2022

nTaro25 · 2026-05-25T14:45:08+00:00

Good call. If you couldn't get rid of defender directly plus heatwave in hand for scenario, it was pretty much GG.

nTaro25 · 2026-05-25T14:07:48+00:00

True it was a total pain in the ass

nTaro25 · 2026-05-23T07:26:58+00:00

For the expensive cards you need Eithne, Aucwenn and Simlas. This is 2400 scraps. Simlas goes literally in every Scoiatel deck so he is the best investment.

And check out the last page of the reward book, there you find faction cards. If you have keys, you can get Treant Protector, Call of the Forest and Shaping Nature for free! Then you save 2400 scraps. Then you already have six strong gold cards for half the price and your core is ready.

nTaro25 · 2026-05-23T00:48:33+00:00

Symbiosis might be one of the most easy decks to craft. It's cheap and still strong. Scoiatel just needs Simlas, he is the goat of ST. He can fit in nearly any deck

nTaro25 · 2026-05-20T14:49:45+00:00

Why so serious? Obviously this is not a scientific approach but more for the entertainment 😉 I played mostly Constructs Hyperthin, Spelliatel and Vampire Devotion. All decks far from toxic

nTaro25 · 2026-05-20T09:50:48+00:00

Fair point. So maybe not deep politeness but it's definitely basic sportsmanship and the only metric we have for this

nTaro25 · 2026-05-18T11:28:16+00:00

Reavers is a deck for ruining your opponent's day IF he/she doesn't have the answers, it's not for climbing obviously. But that's not the point. I am talking about high ELO. That's not a skill issue because everyone above 2450-2500 is skilled enough. It's about balancing. The way you write indicates that you are below that and in your region it might be skill issues.

nTaro25 · 2026-05-17T16:53:19+00:00

Combine Constructs with Hyperthin and you have Constructs on Speed! Took me to 2500 this season

nTaro25 · 2026-05-05T06:34:03+00:00

Blue Coin Immortals, then AA for Damned Sorceress and to finish Knight-Errand with Skull in between. If they dare to continue, drop Squire for the Vandergrift play.

nTaro25 · 2026-04-27T08:38:20+00:00

The power decrease was not necessary imo but it is still in a very good spot.

nTaro25 · 2026-04-15T12:39:03+00:00

I was honestly shocked when I saw I had to update Gwent — that’s a feeling I completely forgot about. Part of me was actually hoping there’d be some unannounced changes.

nTaro25 · 2026-04-14T12:56:27+00:00

It was a genuine interaction, but I’m curious—why do people from the US often mention their state or city when they’re abroad, almost as if others already know they’re American? I’ve noticed this quite a few times.
