Hello Gods Unchained Community,
In this week I was busy so I didn't play a lot. But, I have two interesting games to show in this post.
The first game is against a Zombie Deck. Here I play my Budget Ramp Magic which I will write a post later, since I am still experimenting with it.
Opponent's Deck:
My Deck:
This deck has no relic removal so it could be tricky to win. I also start with some high cost cards which is bad here. I play Deuteria.
The 1/1 is removed by GP.
I use Starshard Bolt. My hand is not looking great here.
Since I have no way to stop their Fickle Cambion, I use Safeguard to draw a card, which is Safeguard again. I also play GP.
They have Cursed Obliesk, but Safeguard prevents them from frenzied and I remove their Fickle Cambion with bolt.
They're going wide here. Luckily a Labyrinth Guard saves me from tons of damage, and without a big removal, the game would be over since they couldn't kill it with spamming low cost cards.
Leylord Hatchling on their 4/5 prevents them from getting deadly anubians. I also buy Onyx Nightblade for their Obelisk.
After playing Nightblade and trading with their 3/3, it seems like theyran out of gas.
I play Aether Vanguard to kill their 2/4. I also buy Valka's Discovery.
I play Valka's Discovery to kill their Zombies in case of a Corpse Explosion. Rune Moth is great behind the frontliner here.
They used all their cards in hand! I ramp three times here to play a 9 drop next turn.
With Unacceptable Monstrosity on 8 mana, it is GG.
This game is against Aggro War with Dragons.
Opponent's Deck:
I cut off the first part because it was too long to upload the full video(about 30 min). Here I already used both of my Scavenger Implings to stealtheir Draka Gatherer, Balde of Strx, Ekrileth, Spawn of Pendroleth and Combat Medic. Here my opponent is not able to kill my second scavenger impling, which is good for me.
Bound by Her Will is a great card to topdeck now. I use Blade borrower on their Draka Gatherer and steal it. Now that's a 0/5 that provides value each turn, which is a big threat. I also do some face damage here. They play savage strike which clears the board but also gives me a free shard. And they misplay it by not playing the onyx to kill Draka Gatherer first. The 1 damage is really small compared to a shard.
With 8 cards in hand, it's so perfect to play Ekrileth now, so I play it. I also play Umber Arrow which seems like a waste but now my shard is manasurged. Retaliation is expected.
I'm not sure what to do here, so I play Lootable corpse and play Ember Oni to clear board+heal.
Crooked Quartermaster gives me enough spells to deal with their board with Blade Borrower, so I play it. I also play the Draconite Shard for extra hand, and I get Dragon of the Pillar. It looked bad without its roar but it still gave +1 strength to my creatures. And they play Arradion! It really surprised me because I thought it was manasurged, although it wasn't. It is still scary with spell boost +5 and its health. Also I had no way to clear it. Luckily Imperious Smite was on the sanctum.
I play Cutthroat to see what spell they have. Sole Survivor on Arradion would've been GG, so I send it back. I play Beguiling blade since they no longer have Sole Survivor. Here I also play Blade of Strx and go face. I assumed with this board, they would clear my board and I would get enough favor to buy Imperious Smite. They Metamorphosis their burned Frontliner which became an Amazon... which is useless in their deck. And they cleared the obvious threat on the board and also get a 13/13 dragon!
I could've used Trapdoor but it really seemed useless, so instead I use Double spells to clear it. Looking back, Raptune Dance+Hunting Trap might be another good option there. I play patient pickpocket to get Ally effect and Trapdoor their 4/5 Amazon. With my board I clear their Arradion and also use my relic to remove their 3/3.
With Raptune Dance and Crooked Quartermaster I clear their board. I also use thievery and gets some decent cards.(+1 strength). They get Draka Scout in their draconite shard which gives another draconite shard.
Here it seems like they ran out of gas so I play Ember Oni. Wasting Warmonger Smith's Roar is not good but it would've been useless while clearing their 4/3. They use Retaliation on Ember Oni which is okay but seems like a waste for them.
Time to go wide! With Crooked Quartermaster and two guild creatures in my hand, I get another Stoneskin and Hunting Trap I also use GP and get another decent card.(+1 strength and blitz) They play shard here but ends with a decent 5/4.
Charm is good but it isn't Lethal here. I finally play Draka Gatherer and use Hunting Trap on their 5/5. I also play Echoing Fury to get Twin Strike on my Armor Lurcker, and I also use Stoneskin Poison on their Feral Shapeshifter. I have Lethal next turn(if they don't clear my board.)
Multiple ways to win here with charm, stoneskin poison etc... but I play Draconite Shard(actually I only played 2 in this game). I get Alborox here and play it. I'm 1 short but they have no way to win now. GG!
After not playing for a while GU is looking great! GODS token is rising in price so it is easy to get some great cards from all domains.
