Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well.
In the last Weekend Ranked, I decided to play all 18 ranked games with my Amazon deck that I had been using for about a month, before making some changes to it. I managed to get 12 wins, so I got 9 packs in total, not bad compared to my previous perfomance. But since I was in Solar Gold rank, I got the same rewards for 12 wins as I did for 10 wins in Etheral Diamond.

Even though I had some good games with the deck, it was time to make some changes, mainly because I got a bit bored of damage spells, especially against mage decks that literally base their deck around spells, so I replaced some cards that weren't working out so well for me overall.
My previous deck
The cards I removed from my deck were:

Chiron, The Teacher. I liked this card because for only 1 mana cost it has 2 great effects. But the bad thing is that it is not an amazon creature, if it were I would like to continue playing it, but since it is not, unfortunately I cannot make ally combos with it.

Penthesilean Warrior. This card gives +1 to stats to a creature like Chiron does. I thought it was a good card but after using it quite a bit, it made almost no difference overall, and most of the time I even skipped it when it was in my first hand when I was going to play in second, so this card has a 2 mana cost and if I wanted to skip it that means that I didn't really like it at all. It's an epic card, maybe that's why I didn't want to remove it earlier.

Warrior of Paradise. This card wasn't really bad, as compared to the other cards mentioned above, it has helped me win a lot more. Overall I still like this card, but unfortunately it's very bad against damage spells since it only has 3 HP, so it was mostly due to magic decks destroying it before it could even attack.
If this card can be improved in any way, I would like it to have GodBlitz, so it can attack the enemy god if there are no enemy creatures, so it can give +2 attack to a creature. But its damage would be reduced to 1 if it did that, so it can be a balanced card.

Sartonian Spearfisher. This card also, like the Warrior of Paradise, was very useful in mid-late games, but like the Warrior, this card was an easy target for spells, being destroyed in the next round after being summoned. I like its effect of dealing 3 damage to a creature and especially the delve effect, but since my deck is all about finishing off the opponent as soon as possible, before they can use annoying spells or strong creatures, it was time to change it.
I was also using two Nightleaf Warriors, but I think one is more than enough for now.
And some cards that I was only using one copy of, I increased to two: Amazon Conscript, Riverjumper Captain and Lancaller Captain.
And as I mentioned before that I don't really like playing against magic decks because of their countless spells, I add two copies of a creature that has Ward: Barksworn Protector, so the opponent can waste at least the god power or 1 spell on them.
Current deck (gudecks.com/decks)
I want to show you a battle against a magic deck that, as usual, used a lot of damage spells.
Unfortunately, I couldn't win quickly and the opponent defeated me using a combo of two spells, Arcane Burst and Pyrrhic Knowledge, dealing 30 damage to my god in a single round.
This is a snippet from another battle where Narcilla,the Huntress destroys 4 units, proving how strong she still is. Unlike the other battle, I was able to win this one.
That's all for now, see you, have a nice day.
