A weekly recap of my Mythic Weekend Ranked experience, attempting to do a Free-To-Play (F2P) Gauntlet with all the Gods to show that they can all compete and get Legendary packs. Previously I’ve done Nature , War, Magic, and Death; this week is my second weekend with Light.
Well I made some upgrades to my Light deck from last weekend but still only made 14 wins. Another weekend where I was 1 win off my goal! I thought for sure I’d have it this time; I did lose to one broken Dralamar deck, but still so close!
| Weekend | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| God | Nature | Nature | Nature | War | War | Magic | Magic | Magic | Death | Light | Light |
| Wins | 20 | 19 | 17 | 13 | 16 | 13 | 14 | 20 | 17 | 14 | 14 |
| Prize (USD) | $50 | $34.5 | $27.5 | $19 | $27.5 | $19 | $21.5 | $50 | $34.5 | $21.5 | $21.5 |
Here’s the deck that I used, costing 0.0191 ETH or ~$65. I found out that GUDeck’s Estimate Price has a bug; most of the time it’s over-stating the price, which means I’ve overstated previous decks’ prices. I’ll be using the Buy Deck prices from now as they’re the actual live prices.
I made some upgrades to my deck that costed a little bit but I thought would take me over the edge; it didn’t but they should have! Haha.
❌Ritual Rod ✔️Cudgel of Atonement – Almost a strict upgrade as you get the heal, I thought this would help with my matches against Aggro War by providing a little more health.
❌Militant Theist ✔️Vexing Vicar – I wasn’t going to make this switch but it seems like the Vicar prices really dropped after being way overvalued initially, so I took the plunge; actually sold it after the weekend as I feel like it’ll drop more, or I’ll open one. Definitely helps against Aggro.
I actually did pretty well against War and Nature which is what I thought I was struggling a little with last week, but it seems that I struggle more against the mirror matchup against Light. This time I went 1-4 against them while I was 5-2 against both War and Nature. The one Magic match was against Dralamar which was annoying, if only that was a normal Magic I would’ve went 15!
Well they did nerf Dralamar but making it 7 mana instead of 6, and no other balance changes it seems, so I’ll have my last go with this deck. I really feel like it should take me there especially with the changes. I might actually take out Helian Elite and put in another Aether Vanguard or something, as although the 8 drop is great for another threat late-game, it’s a dead card for most of the game and especially at the beginning when I’m trying to take board control. I’m also thinking of doubling down on Vexing Vicars although I seem to have the Aggro War matchup under control. Onyx Nightblade also seems like it’s only good against certain Gods/creatures. But I’m so close to 15 that I don’t want to make too many changes!
I actually forgot to take screenshots of my packs from last weekend, but I did get a Guerilla Gardener and a second Witherfingers. The latter could be useful for when I get to Deception to finish up the Gauntlet!
