I have been tweaking my Atlantean Deck in this week, and it feels like the algo pushed me to the 50% winrate. But that could also be the cards, or me not playing a lot recently. Anyway, I am glad that I am still in Auric Gold.

When I came back from my break, I noticed the God Portraits that have changed. There was also a balance patch, which I could (or not) write a post about it later.

Introducing my Deck

This deck is inspired from @x-rain , and it is also $9.2, which is very budget-friendly.

I added 2 Dimension Doors for more card draws and hopefully reducing Mana cost with Foresee. It didn't impact the game a lot, but I'm sure it will come in handy.

Deck: https://gudecks.com/decks/GU_1_4_BAhBAhBGyBGyKAdKAdKAfKAfKAgKAgKCwKCwKDcKDcMBvMBvMCAMCAMCBMCwOAOCBiCBiCCyCCyCEqCGECGEIBtIBt

The main goal for this deck is to gain control of the board with Atlanteans, and buff them and end with Wyrmbreath + Volcanic Watcher or wide board with protect+ward creatures.

Last WR

I only played around 8~10 games in Last WR, so the rewards weren't great(core packs).

Game

Opponent's deck:

1 Mana/Mulligan

I start with a decent hand. It's not the best though. my opponent plays a lot of 1 health creatures.

2 Mana

I GP here and not trade. Although my opponent is 90% Aggro deck, I thought trading is not great.

3 Mana

I use Reject Dogma to clear their 3/2. I discard another Reject Dogma. But they also have more creatures.

4 Mana

Time-bomb is a great play here. Next turn, I could possibly trade 2 to 1. They all go face which hurts though.

5 Mana

Here I decide to use GP on my 1/1. That way, I can save my Time-Bomb. I also finally use PIP here to manasurge Zaskia faster.(for 2 turn!) Also Undertow Rover gives protected. But it is removed by their Blade of Styx.

5.5 Mana

Zaskia is tempting but I wanted to clear their creature. So I GP and play 3/2 + Wand.

6 Mana

I trade their 3/2 with mine. It is a better trade for me since I am more later than their deck. I also get Crystaltechnics. Incoming Raid + Rend kills my board sadly.

6.5 Mana

Here it is obvious to play Undertow+Phase Touched Golem to give protect+ward. Next turn, Crystaltechnics will be playable.

7 Mana

I finally play it! Their buffed 7/6 is pretty dangerous, so I clear their board. I also get Swashbuckler from the Sanctum. Their Overkill creature is kind of scary, but with full board, I am hopeful.

7.3 Mana

Finally Dimension Door but not really helpful here. Swash+GP clears their board, and it is GG by now!

Conclusion

Even though this deck is really great, I am thinking about getting another new archetype, since only playing 1 deck is going to be boring. Most likely it would be Control Deception or another Atlanteans because it is one of the meta decks.
