After the last post I ended up stuck at Rank 17 for like a week. Couldn’t gain any traction whatsoever against all the Butterfly and Kaedweni Sergeant decks that were suddenly so popular.
So I built a Eithné deck specifically to fight them:
- Smuggler x3, Trapper x2, Dragoon x3, Thunder x1, First Light x1, Shackles x1, Epidemic x1, Mardroeme x1, Lacerate x2
- Toruviel, Ciaran, Myrgtabrakke, Braenn, Nature’s Gift, Necromancy
- Saskia, Saesenthessis, Schirrú, Ithlinne
Unfortunately, I was not skilled enough to make the most of it (making dumb misplays rather often) and didn’t get very far. So to hell with it I thought, I’ll go back to my roots with John Calveit:
- Golem x3, Pikeman x3, Brigade x2, Medic x2, Rot Tosser x3, Emissary x2
- Peter Saar, Aukes, Assire, D-Bomb, Fake Ciri, Cantarella
- Cahir, Vilgefortz, Tibor, Letho
Less weak to player error and far better at topdecking… and it certainly didn’t hurt that Letho plays havoc with Fogling/Resilience strategies… this deck finally broke me past the 3600 point barrier. The only change I made since putting it together was switching out Twisted Mirror for Assire (it was a dead card too often and I sometimes ended up without any cards to draw). Now let’s see if I can make it any higher.
