Hi everyone,
Happy New Year!
This time, it isn't about the gameplay itself, but everything else.
Since I've been planning to switch from my Nature deck to a Magic one for a few weeks now, I've started gathering the cards I need to do so over the past few days, again. This time not only for the budget friendly solution. Mainly only Meteorites.
By now I can say that I know the Nature cards quite well, and unfortunately I haven't found a set that allows me to stay at Gold levels on a permanent basis, so I had to look for another one to move on.
How I mentioned in previous posts, browsing the stats on gudecks.com, I decided on Magic, not only because it has one of the highest winrates, but Magic decks seem to play fast enough, even if it will take more turns than my previous Nature deck and I could finally be more effective against War decks, which it didn't work out very well with Nature.
The cheaper Magic deck I started to put together few weeks ago, just doesn't work so good how I expected, so I started to collect the more expensive one. I've already tried it in some battles with the Plain versions on the Shadow levels. I have better opinion of it, although I haven't played it enough yet. I'll probably make 1-2 changes to it once I get to know Magic better, also use some of the cards I already have for the budget-friendly Magic deck.
Cards according to Mana cost:
1 Mana
2 Mana
3 Mana
4 Mana
5 Mana
6 Mana
7 Mana
9 Mana
10 Mana
Right now, Iron-tooth Goblin and Frenetic Bibliomaniac don't seem very useful, and the 9 mana cost Hydra is underutilized, but maybe only in the Shadow tiers. It might be more useful in Gold. These are the 3 cards I will leave for the end. I mean, buying them. Hopefully I'll be able to play enough in the next few weeks to see if there's a better solution than these.
I've accumulated 2k Flux and 34 GODS in my account in the last few weeks, so I first looked at the Plain cards, what would be worth it to turn 2 Plain into a Meteorite.
I had 2 Plain cards only from Leyhoard Hatchling.
Before I fuse, I of course also looked at the market pirce. Combining is much cheaper. It might be worth drawing the attention of those who are used to trading cards to this card. It can be very profitable. Even if you have few extra Plain cards on your account and a little bit of Flux.
So I got my first card for the deck:
I would like to digress here. Due to the price difference between Meteorite and Shadow cards, I decided to try trading it. Buying and fusing 5 Meteorite, then listing the Shadow card on the market. I'm hoping for 2-3 GODS profit from this, which is 1-2 days of earnings from the game, so it can help me reach my goal sooner. If I can't sell it at a profit, I will use the Shadow version in my deck. (I also fused and listed plenty other cards, in hope get more GODS and reach the goal earlier, thanks for the potential extra income from unused cards sale.)
So I bought and combined the 5 cards. The total cost is 4.8 GODS. After that I listed it for the cheapest price of 8.4 GODS. I am aware that ETH prices are much cheaper, but also that many people only buy and sell for GODS. Due to the very high fees, I can get 7.8 GODS for it. We'll see. It looks like, I can't lose on it. I will update about this later.
Back to the deck.
I started with the cheapest ones, like Pyre Shaper, but after that I continued with Legendary cards, knowing that they could be the most expensive.
The deck needs a total of 6, or 5 if I don't count Hydra. 1 of these is really expensive:
Due to the price-value ratio, this is also among the questionable cards, so I have 4 Legendary cards left, which I bought. They didn't cost much, the most expensive:
By the end of the day, I have 10 cards from the deck, including 4 Legendary.
Until the next post, I will mainly try to figure out how to efficiently and cost-effectively replace the remaining 2 Legendary cards. Both are $30 total, which I think is too expensive.
So the next 1-2 weeks will be interesting, hopefully I will quickly get used to playing regularly with Magic decks.
Have a nice day!
