You can watch it all right here! The full stream of my entire weekend games! (score spoilers below).
Hey all!!! I am new to Hive and pretty new to Gods Unchained (just over a month playing). Decks and comments are included below. I wanted to upload and talk about my recent weekend ranked event for you guys to see if interested. I haven't put any money in to the game but I have been given a couple of cheaper cards, as well as pulled some from weekend expansion packs, so they aren't true "F2P" decks but they are very very cheap and not fully optimised!
I did start the event in Mythic rank, I like to aim for the top even if I haven't all the cards!
I started out playing a newly made magic deck. I had just been given some Miraculous Familiars, which give a random spell the first time you use a spell. I had also just pulled a Vortimer from my legendary pack last weekend. This deck was a lot of fun but had loads of little combos and requires quick thinking with random spells. I only got to practice like 5 1v1s before going in and generally performed pretty well. When it came to the ranked weekend it did do well, I played 12 games with it to start and won 8 of them, losing mainly to other magic decks. I must admit I did make more misplays with this deck than I usually do when using a new deck. It is very easy to miss small damages and it is really quite complex, I found myself running down the timer much more than normal.
After the 4 losses though I decided to change decks. I found it a lot of fun but I really wanted to get as many packs as I could. I changed to my makeshift nature deck. It lacks a lot of the more common cards people improve, like Finnean and a 2nd Pangolin but I had a lot more practice with it. During the week I played it to 1670 rating, which is quite high for a sub optimal deck and felt very comfortable playing it. I managed to win most of the rest of the game, only losing 2 more...damn magic!! lol :D
That left my record at 19 wins overall, which is my new best! I do wish I had started with the deck I was most familiar with. My arrogance lead me to play one of the more complicated decks possible without properly testing it out and it possible cost me some wins. Still, I am really happy with my results overall and had a great time streaming it!
If you made it this far thanks for reading and if you have any questions feel free to drop a comment or come by the stream some time and I will always answer to the best of my ability!
Have fun :D
