I won't lie, I have had a few beverages which weren't water. Someone once told me if you drink too much water you will rust... Anyhow, I'm rambling. The cliff face is lush, I see many meteorites around me...

The Deck

This week was a bit of a glass cannon build. No frontline, and extra self harm/draw cards. We doubled up on Ragnarok and picked up 2x Encumbered Looters. Brimstone was also thrown in there for good measure. In theory this should be extremely consistent (We have 2 copies of every card).

Statistics

Shocking results to say the least. I thought I played well, at least well enough to get the 9 or 10 wins in Mythic a couple of weeks ago.

I think there are one or two thing we can deduce from these results:

1. All leagues have the same (or at least very close to the same) difficulty as Mythic.
2. The Heirloom archetype seems to be erratic at best with a 50% win rate going first (with this pilot at least).
3. Going second against War is a death sentence.
4. Don't go second.
5. Don't go second against Zombies, I high rolled those wins.

Week 2 Statistics

Archetype Results

I would like to mention that the of the 7 Aggro War games, only 1 was Relic War. It definitely doesn't seem as prevalent in the lower leagues. If the other 6 games were against Relic War, I would be in the Iron leagues.

Starting Position Results

Running Statistics

These results are identical since it is the first dataset where starting position results have been recorded. It will develop over time.

Rewards

A big fat ZERO here for our MJ packs. Who wins no MJ packs nowadays? However we actually managed to come out on top due to some incredible luck. I managed to sneak into a FakeMewsTV draw on twitch and lucked out with a Dagan of all things. The grind also bagged me a level 175 Grendel, which I already had a copy of.

Looking Forward

Ideas are something I am running short of. Heirloom death seems to be running out of consistency. There are a few players doing extremely well using similar decks in Mythic (with win rates of over 70%). The only difference is that they are running Pyramid Warden. In a game were 1 turn makes all the difference, which is exactly what the wardens buy you, they could be the turning point. Is that all I need to make it in the big leagues again?

I'm not sure, let me know if you have any thoughts on this in the comments.

That wraps it up for this week, I look forward to running into you out there on the cliff face! (In meteorite league this time).
