A weekly recap of my Mythic Weekend Ranked experience with my F2P Nature Deck, see my first 5 week’s journey to 20/25 wins here
This week I got 17 wins, not because of the nerfs but I had a couple of huge misplays and my opponents got pretty lucky in some games. There was one game where I was at 5 health and they had one creature and was at 7 health, I played my Oryx and it decided to target the creature instead. Next turn, they top-decked a Vicious Rend! I couldn’t believe it haha but I guess that’s how these games work.
| Weekend | 5 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wins | 20 | 19 | 17 |
| Prize (USD) | $50 | $34.5 | $27.5 |
Again lots of Nature decks, but this week I faced some more Magic and Deception, but luckily unlike last week I crushed the latter. What fell short was all the losses I had to frenzy war decks. I guess the Oddi and Archangel nerfs weren’t enough to stop them! However one of those games was where I had a huge misplay, and the other is the lucky top deck that I talked about earlier. About the nerfs: Finnian is usually dead the first turn he’s out anyways, so I didn’t feel much of a difference there. Sudden Bloom didn’t feel much different. But my Giant Pangolins felt much different. It can still 2 for 1 usually but before it could easily 3 or 4 for 1 depending on their board. I guess it does feel a little more balanced.
I think I’ve demonstrated Nature’s ability to consistently perform in Mythic Ranked as a F2P deck. It IS one of the more popular starting Gods and for good reason. However, I think I will be taking inspiration from some other posters here and start doing a Weekend Gauntlet, if you will, and trying to hit a legendary pack with each God, all F2P decks of course. I was going to start with Structure Magic since I got an Aggravated Architect from previous packs, but after this weekend of getting beat down by War, and the fact that I’d rather have shorter games haha, I will be building a Frenzy War deck. Without Blessing of the Gods though I won’t be able to get any Legendaries or good Genesis cards, and while I can sell some of my current Nature deck to fund that, I think I’ll challenge myself to start fresh. Let’s see how it goes!
First pack gave me another Finnian! Even after the nerf, he's still the highest valued Legendary from DO at around ~$35. Celestial Stag again from the Rare pack which is good (~$4). Epic pack gave me a Valka's Captain which is a decent Epic and I'll probably use it in my Frenzy War deck.
I got a Gersemi from my Core Legend pack, might have been a decent 3-drop for this Nature deck if I didn't have Revenant Lynx already.
