Hello Everyone,
What a difference a week makes. After riding high from my previous 12 wins weekend ranking and crushing some high-value decks, I have fallen back to earth with a bang.
I managed only 5 wins in the weekend ranking, I started with my nature deck but switched to my zombie deck when things were going sour. Even with my zombie deck, things have started going pear shaped.
With the zombie deck, usually I try to get a 1 mana card out that respawns something in the afterlife so that I can then play my zombie spawning relic (Necrosceptor) or Cursed Obelisks.
This then allows me usually to keep spawning zombies and overwhelm my opponent. However, things have been going Pete Tong (wrong) and badly because of the aggro decks.
Here I have been defeated by a $2,56 magic deck!!! Specifically, what has been doing me in are the aggro decks with lots of blitz and some really powerful cards that keep wiping out either the whole board or key cards!
Looking deeper, the 5 mana cards are the ones killing me the most and I am finding it hard to come back from if my cards don't line up so well. Perhaps I need to add some of these into my deck too!?
Crystal rain does 2 damage to each creature.. Flamecaller 1 damage.. and then I drop a powerful card down and it gets turned into a rat!!!
I am not sure how I am going to counter this just yet. Sometimes I can recover with my zombie deck and I am more cautious about having too many cards out, but it is pretty tough with my nature deck to recover from this type of blow. And look at the cost of those cards?? Not even $0,20 in total for ALL 3! Man-o!
It is a similar story against the light god. These three cards have been causing me a few problems when dropped at key moments in the game, I just can't recover from them.
The first Call of Light card summons 3 2/2 Acolytes which seems pretty strong for just a 2 mana card! Trying to regain board control with them there, isn't easy. Next his 3 mana friend Light's Levy is turning my Cursed Obelisks into an Acolyte and disrupting my plans! Not only that, it takes control of it and attacks me, taking out 2 cards at least!
The final card that seems to also cause me some havoc, is the Aggressive Superior. This insane 2 mana card, when empowered to 5, turns a deck of creatures into 5 health and strength!!! This is totally brutal and this card costs just $0,05!!
Where to go from here?
After some deliberation, if you can't beat them, join them! I will start to use them in my decks and see if I can improve my performance!
The value of my cards in $GODS tokens is now 228 and less than last week despite having 22 more meteorite cards. I have been forging as many cards as I can. It would be nice to get some shadow or gold cards forged, but I don't have enough copies yet.
I have reached level 60, so 4 levels higher despite my losses.
Here you can see that I have been acquiring new cards too to try and strengthen my decks. Particulary, I have been buying some Light and Nature cards, but there is still room for improvement I think.
Nature Deck - Today's Battle
Todays match is where I decided to add the awesome Firewine card to my deck.
This card really gives my deck the final push similar to my Over The Top card in the zombie deck. Today you can see how I managed to put it into action. I will try focus my efforts on getting to this card with as much of a full board as I can. Maybe I need to add a second Firewine card to my deck to increase the chances?
As I mentioned, since last week I have made some updates to my nature deck to become more competitive. I was really struggling to get the killer punch in and found myself getting to the higher rounds and not having enough cards to play. I am still thinking to add in the Bladefly card which can spawn 2 more Bladefly cards at a cost of 4 mana.
I am also wondering if I should switch to a more mid-range nature deck instead of an aggro one?
The next card I am thinking to add to resolve my card shortage problem is Grove Summon, a 2 mana card that can add 3 creatures to my hand..
The main thing is that my cards are amazon focused, and I don't want to remove any of these cards because of the great synergy.
Since my latest tweaks, my win ratio is 55,6%, but only over 9 matches. I will save my current deck and then add in these new tweaks and see how it goes for this weekend.
With my current zombie deck, the win ratio has dropped below 50% which shows the extent of my losing streak. Possibly I need to switch back to my old zombie deck that has the higher win ratio. I'm not sure what the best thing to do here is as I like the cards that I have, but it seems the synergy is lost and I should go back to the drawing board.
Even though I am usually bagging 3 wins per day, The amount of won fragments has been dropping and also my amount of won $GODS tokens. I am not so happy to be winning less $GODS tokens and hope I can still keep getting at least 1 per day.
