It's been a while since I've played gods unchained.
It took me some time to catch all the changes. Most of them are very impressive and I like them.
But now I want to talk about the deck, thanks to which I reach Top 20 mythic again.
It is death aggro death but bit different, than classical death zoo decks.
There are mechanics that provides, you don’t lose tempo and board control during mid-game and the ability to finish your opponent at late game.
The deck you can look here: https://gudecks.com/decks/death,35,47,160,206,246,374,374,1029,1029,1034,1078,1080,1082,1082,1084,1084,1095,1130,1130,1131,1131,1140,1162,1174,1214,1252,87005,87005,87062,87062?godPowers=100106&creator=Vertolka&userId=74100&archetype=Other%20Death
Game strategy
It’s a pretty fast and easy deck. But not so easy as classic zoo decks where you summon all you have and try to beat your opponent's face as fast as you can.
It's very dependent on what you're playing against, but in general, you want to keep a board control and be slightly ahead with tempo than your opponent.
But not for all costs. You must predict an opponent’s moves and very precisely chose when to use your hero power when trade with the creature and when use removal. The right timing and usage of your resources can be and most times are the difference between a win and loss.
Mulligan
Here you want 1 drop like Deuteria and Backstreet Bouncer and 2 drops like Skeleton Heavy and Vanguard Axewoman. One Blight Bomb its a good option too. Definitely you don’t want here Possessed Acolyte other spells than Blight Bomb and 3 drops and higher.
Cards and combos
Deuteria, Manashard Mage - this is kind of card which fit in almost every deck, but in fact, it’s not so strong one drop and many times, because games with this deck are fast, you don’t draw higher version. So if you don’t have her, it’s not a big loss.
Backstreet Bouncer - this very high-value card, because runes, exactly at early game, can make a big difference.
Dreaming Sceptre - this card is a double-edged sword. If you play this relic very early. Like at turn 3 or 4. So against most decks its almost instant win. But later and if an opponent can play around this mechanic it can be an easy reason for your loss.
Possesed Acolyte - this card is kind of finisher and tempo turnover. In combo with Living Container, there are not so many decks, which can easily deal with it.
Conclusion
The main advantages of this deck are that it is easy to play, the games are fast and also is cheap to build it.
And in general, is this deck in advantage against the most popular decks in this meta like deadly war control and relic war zoo. On the other hand, this deck is at a disadvantage against decks based on spell board control and spell face damage.
