Welcome to the weekly edition of my "Daily Grind" series of blogs. It has been a long time since I won 7 matches in Midnight Shadow. Most of the time I can only win 5 or 6 matches and my worst is winning 3 matches. Since the day that I started to feel that players are starting to get better and not rushing to play any cards, it has been hard for me to win 7 matches in Midnight Shadow. Sometimes I breach into Auric Gold but I am not able to sustain it for at least a week. The most that I was able to stay in Auric Gold was 3 days max.

Also since the day that I noticed of players' improvement, my deck was not able to keep up with the best decks out there, and then came the new expansion Tides of Fate. The new expansion made it hard for me to compete at Auric Gold and most of the time my stay on Midnight is always challenging. From that day I tried a lot of card combinations because removing "Selena's Mark" handicapped my Aggro decks a lot. And not until a few days ago when I found a deck that can compete in Midnight Shadow.

With that being said, my newest deck made me win 7 matches again in today's daily play & earn.

In today's feature match I am up against a pesky Control Deception deck that utilizes Candy Chain, a pesky card to deal with if you are not lucky to draw your relic removal card.

In mulligan, I always look for my removal card such as Canopy Barrage and Lightning Strike to kill creatures with order.

I played Marshwalker. My opponent played Cobra Scepter. The Cobra Scepter is also an annoying card if you don't draw your relic removal cards. My opponent played Made Mark.

I played Vanguard Axewoman to kill Made Mark. I played Iron-tooth Goblin to destroy the Cobra Scepter of my opponent. I went face. My opponent played Blade Borrower to reduce the strength of my Iron-tooth Goblin to 0.

I killed Blade Borrower using Marshwalker. I went face with Vanguard Axewoman. I played Lootable Corpse which I got from the Sanctum. I upgraded the regen of Marshwalker to 2. My opponent played Inconspicuous Carriage.

I sacrifice Lootable Corpse so that I can draw a card. I killed Unconspicious Carriage using Lightning Strike. I went face with Marshwalker, Vanguard Axewomand, and Iron-tooth Goblin. My opponent played a soulless Blade Borrower on my Marshwalker and reduced its strength to 0.

I played Warrior of Paradise to kill the soulless Blade Borrower. I went face with Iron-tooth Goblin, Vanguard Axewoman, and Marshwalker. I got Gleamweaver from the Sanctum. My opponent played Candy Chain. My opponent played Stoneskin Poison on my Warrior of Paradise and put my Iron-tooth Goblin to sleep.

I played Moonlight Charm. I buffed Vanguard Axewoman using Guerilla Training. My opponent played Best Friends and buffed his creature with Leviathan Scales.

I went face with Iron-tooth Goblin. I played Sudden Bloom and buffed Vanguard Axewoman to 7/7 with twin-strike and overkill and I further buffed it to 9/9 using Moonlight Charm. I killed the only creature of my opponent using the first strike of Vanguard Axewoman. I went face with the second strike of Vanguard Axewoman reducing the hp of my opponent to 1. I got The Trial Begins from the sanctum. My opponent played Trapdoor on my Vanguard Axewoman to return it to my hand.

I finished the game with Iron-tooth Goblin.

That is all for now guys, catch you up with the next one. Wishing you all safety, good health, and abundance.
