Daily Grind 36.png

Greetings!

Historically my deck struggles to stay more than two days in Auric Gold. The best my deck can do is two-day maximum stay in my recent adventure in Auric Gold. With that being said, I decided to try some minor changes on my current deck and also tested a new nature deck archetype. And to push those changes and the new deck archetype I decided to test in on RANKED games instead of CASUAL and the result was not so good so I just decided to stick to the deck that breached and stayed in Auric Gold for two days which is my most solid deck to date and has the capability to win +50% of matches in Midnight Shadow and once in a while on Twilight Shadow. And in today's isotope pf daily play & earn I was able to win 5 of my 6 matches. After six matches I felt so sleepy so I call it a day and went to sleep.

Here are the gameplays for this edition of daily play $ earn.

Victory #1 - versus Midrange War

Historically, my deck has a less than 50% of win rate against any good War deck But today I was able to win all of my matches against War decks. The first match is against a Midrange War deck. In this match, I chose to keep Bladefly on my starting to see it has a positive effect on the game. On my first turn, I played Amazon Conscript then I followed it with Nightleaf Hunter. I use these two Amazon because I am having a problem controlling the board for the first 2-3 turns using confused creatures. In my third turn, I finally was able to play Bladefly and in my fourth turn, I was able to clear the board of my opponent while keeping two creatures on my board. My opponent killed my Celestial Stag using Viking Longship. On my fifth turn, I was again able to clear the board of my opponent while I was able to retain one creature on my board. At six mana I was at a little advantage because of Feral Shapeshifter but I was able to kill it using Lightning Strike. At 6.5 mana I was able to play Penumbra Howler which gives the card Charging Oryx. At seven mana I was able to build a wall of four creatures on my board while my opponent has none and it proves to be the turning point of the game giving me my first victory in this edition of daily play & earn.

Victory #2 - versus Midrange War

The second match on this edition of daily play & Earn is against another Midrange War. I went first in this match so I immediately played Vanguard Axewoman and Amazon Concripst. On my third turn, I was able to play Celestial Stag and in my fourth turn I was able to clear my opponent's board but he responded with Guild Enforcer. Luckily, I was able to draw Myrto's Daughter by way of Celestial Stag which I used on my next turn to get rid of the 4/4 creature of my opponent's board clearing it once again. I actually never expected this battle to be so long but we went back in forth for 10 minutes of battle. At six mana I was able to play Agrodor Watchtower (which is one of my win conditions) but my opponent was able to kill it using Sole Survivor. At 7.1 mana I was at a little disadvantage but luckily I was able to draw Vicious Manticore by means of Penumbra Howler. At 7.2 mana my opponent plays Cirt Planner (a pesky card especially if you don't have an answer on hand). At 7.2 mana my opponent was able to clear my board and put me into an unfavorable situation but luckily I was able to clear my opponent's board. But in the next turn, I was again at a disadvantage because my opponent has two creatures on the board while I got none so I decided to play Ember Oni in my attempt to turn things around. Then at 8 mana, my opponent played a card with the ability to duplicate a friendly card but I was lucky to draw Lightning Strike and I used it to kill the card-duplicating creature. But my opponent is not finished yet, He plays Hector and another creature while I have no creature on my board but I was lucky I have Poison Dart on my hand and I used it to kill Hector. But I was lucky to have BLazing Behemoth on my hand which helped me to clear my opponent's board in response my opponent uses Savage Strike to kill Blazing Behemoth but my opponent was able to clear my board on the next turn but Luckily I got two Black Jaguar on my board so I played them and on my next turn I was able to draw Firewine which helps me in controlling the board on my way to another nail-biting victory.

Victory #3 - versus Wild Aggro Nature

Matches between Nature vs Nature decks always take some time and this match is no exception which took 15 minutes to finish. We went back in forth for more than 10 minutes until the 7.2 mana turn came where my opponent has four creatures on the board while I got none. Luckily, I got Enchanted Vine on my hand and I used it to clear my opponent's board but I was not able to play any card because I have no mana left in my next turn I was able to clear my opponent's board using VIcious Manticore and Canopy Barrage my opponent responded using Vinebound Jotun but luckily I got Poison Dart on my hand and I used it to kill Jotun. Then came the 8.2 mana turn which I was able to buff my two creatures on the board using Firewine to seal the game in my favor.

Victory #4 - versus Armor War

The Armor War deck is one of the most annoying war decks. It makes you unable to kill the creature on the board while they are killing you slowly. I am going first in this match so I took advantage of it by playing Vanguard Axewoman and Nightleaf Hunter. On my second turn, I played Amazon Consript and my second Nightleaf Hunter which helps me clear the board of my opponent. Then in my next turn, I was able to clear the board of my opponent. On my fourth turn I was again able to clear the board of my opponent while I was able to retain two creatures on my board and in the fourth turn I was surprised when my opponent conceded.

Victory #5 - versus Armor War

This last match is again against another Armor War deck. I am going second on this turn so I have to go aggressive by playing Axewoman and Amazon Conscript. On my second turn, I again went aggressive by playing Amazon Conscript and Nightleaf Hunter giving slight control of the board. In response, my opponent play a frontline and a blitz creature but he mistakenly did not able to attack my creatures using the creature with the blitz. I took advantage of it by killing both and in the process keeping all four of my creatures on the board. At my opponent's fourth turn, he played Taned Mammoth. I was lucky to kill it while keeping three of my creations on the board. And on the fourth turn, I was able to build a wall of four creatures on my board which proves to be the turning point of the game giving me my fifth victory in six matches.

That is all for now guys, catch you up with the next one. Wishing you all safety, good health, and abundance.
