Hello Everyone! I go by emdomingo in Gods Unchained and I'll be sharing my results for the past weekend ranked. For this week, I managed to snag 21 wins in Mythic.
DECKLIST
I used a Midrange War Deck and here is the list that I used:
My goal for this deck is to try to control the board early using the low-mana blitz or protected creatures. If I'm unable to do this, I can use the Carnage Sweeps or Sole Survivor to clear the board. My higher mana creatures can then swing the momentum to my favor. If needed, I can use Strength in Numbers to generate more creatures to close out the match.
For the God Power, I choose Valka's Presence against Light, War and Nature match-ups, mostly to use Out of its Misery on. Against Nature, the 1/1 tokens also help versus the random removals Nature has access to. On the other hand, I use Slayer against Magic, Death and Deception because of their pings and I might need the extra damage to close-out the match.
MATCH DISCUSSION
This week, I started taking down notes on my matches by just jotting down some thoughts post-match on a Notion sheet. The notes (and writing this article) helps me by making me review and remember my misplays.
I lost four matches this week. And looking back, I actually had good chances of winning all four.
My most jarring misplay was against this Order Deception deck.
I had both of my Carnage Sweeps in hand but none of my relics just yet. Because of this, my opponent was able to build their board with a few creatures and a Guild Enforcer. They then played a Ludia's Dedicant but they weren't able to use their God Power on that turn. The Dedicant became my priority to remove from the board because it will generate value if I let it stick. I top-decked my Hyrtacus but instead of using that, I quickly played my Ravenous Chimera, completely forgetting about the Guild Enforcer. Welp. A few turns later, my opponent finished me with a copy of my Blade of Styx.
LESSON LEARNED: Double check your plays! Do not rush! Check the board!
My other losses were:
(1) Against a Nature deck where instead of doing a decent and responsible play, I tried to be fancy and bet on my Archangel Bruiser's Overkill to control the board (it failed!).
(2) Against an aggro-er War deck where I refused to use my Hector to clear the board because he did not have Leech yet. My opponent then finished me off next turn with a Redfume Serum. And
(3) Against a Zoo Light deck which could just be summarized as Pyramid Warden vs Munosian Infiltrator and Out-of-its-Misery-Buffed Einar vs Master of Indulgences.
Overall, I'm very happy and proud for the 21 wins for this week. I hope that I can maintain or improve on that on the following weeks.
PACK OPENING
For the wins, I got 1 Rare, 1 Epic and 2 Legendary DO Packs, and I got the following cards:
I'm definitely happy with my pulls especially since the Grand Hall and Oddi are some of the most valuable legendaries now. The Gold Exalted Hermit is also great but I feel it's just too squishy to use and it doesn't really synergizes well with a Zoo Light Deck. Aside from the cards, I'll also get around 8 $GODS. Very nice!
Thank you so much for reading my post!
