Hello all, I have recently reached my highest ever legend ranking. I have been to legend rank 4 or 5 times in both standard and wild and usually end up somewhere in the dumpster but this season was the easiest legend climb that I've ever had in addition to a great climb once I got into legend. I made my climb with quest mage, and then kicked around ranks 100-200 for about 3 days before I changed to togwaggle druid. From there, I've climbed from rank ~220 to where I currently sit at rank 23. The deck has been absolutely insane for me, its got the tools to have a consistent game plan against aggressive decks and it just destroys
So I must be stupid or something, but I am just terrible with this deck. I have played a ton of decks in my time and this one just has me stumped. It seems very RNG as sometimes you can win on like turn 4 but often you are sitting there waiting for 1 or 2 combo pieces while aggro smashes your face (any way this deck can fit an ice block??). As of right now, I feel MUCH better playing exodia mage then this deck, even though I feel like this deck is much better once you understand it (which i must not). The worst matchups seem to be midrange like even sham and evenlock, as they just dump big stats in the board and then flamewaker is just useless unless you have a godly hand. Is the quest even
I hit legend this month playing mostly exodia mage. I wanted to start a discussion on this deck as I feel it is in a very good spot (better then at any time in memory) and seems almost underplayed. The reason this deck seems to thrive is that its biggest weakness is face decks, and with the nerf to aggro kingsbane this deck has lost its worst matchup on the ladder. Other bad matchups like pirate warrior and aluneth mage are also out of the meta at the moment giving Mr. Antonidas a chance to shine against all those big priests!
I played a lot of games on mobile so I do not have stats to back up my entire climb, but in the games I played
I've always enjoyed the combo druid style of play, and with the introduction of Jeppetto in the newest expansion, it sounds like some of the combo druid variants are doing pretty well. Sitting on about 6k dust and thinking about crafting the rest of the cards for aligner druid. Is this a smart craft and is there a current decklist that is working for people in the 5-L climb?
Just lol @ scrubs playing normal big priest. Vargoth master race checking in.
Some context -> Opponent pulled y'shaarj into y'shaarj from essence on 6, said "well played" immediately. Few spellstones later, he was feeling pretty bad about his preconceived foolishness. He was also at 30 health, needless to say - captain vargoth is here to save the day!
Wish I actually had a clip of this, but the pic will have to do!
Been playing this abomination of a deck for about an hour. I've got to say, it feels absolutely disgusting. The highrolls are insane, and fairly consistant. Vargoth + Servitute or Spellstone is just ridiculous (basically makes Eternal Servitude a basic spellstone). Havn't folded vs. aggro too much yet (3-1 vs rogue), and it seems like you just destroy control matchups. Just lol @ plebs playing normal big priest. This deck can just go wide with giant cheated out scary things, or deal 40 damage from hand with malygos shenanigans. Any thoughts on how to improve this?
