I can't believe its already been 10 weeks of this. All with Heirloom, never wavering. 12 wins in gold. On the Light's Verdict front, I haven't bought any packs but did buy a couple of cards on the market. I think a nerf is on the horizon for some of them so I am going to bide my time before I buy any more.
Zero changes after last week's success, similar results as well.
An solid week with 12 wins (in Gold). We had a 100% win rate against Death which is extremely unusual. Another oddity is that we only met one Nature opponent. We also went 1st alot which probably inflated our win ratio a bit.

We got Frey in our level 250 pack, the second one, so not too excited about that. Otherwise, we got 2x The Dearly Departed from Light's Verdict but nothing spicy in the epic pax.
Decent week with ~17.5 Gods. My commitment to completing 10 games a day has started to waver this past week. I will most likely be trying to get my 3 wins going forward and stopping there.
After the first weekend ranked with Light's Verdict cards, I haven't really noticed a massive impact in the meta down in Gold, but there are definitely some crazy combo's that a player can put together. I find it fairly easy to win with Heirloom in Gold but in Diamond it feels like it becomes more luck based and if you do somehow get to Mythic, you straight up get destroyed.
In previous weeks I was toying with the idea of changing archetypes and I am finding myself in that frame of mind more and more often. It feels like Heirloom has been figured out at the highest level and a switch to something that may be more favourable in this meta would give me the motivation to complete my daily 10 games once again.
That being said, chances are that next week we will be back at it with some more Heirloom action, I look forward to running into you out there on the cliff face!
