I played my first Weekend Ranked with the Meteorite+ Midrange Nature deck. The result is average, 8 wins.
I've seen for a long time that progressing from Shadow levels with Nature decks won't really work, but this seemed to be one of the cheapest and fastest decks. On average, a game has 10-11 rounds, with which I can play 10 daily battles in an average of 1.5 hours. This is important to me as I don't have 2-3 hours to play every day.
The positives are time savings and cost. The downside is the winrate. I couldn't get a winrate better than 46-47% with any Nature deck. That's why I've been planning the next deck for quite some time, I've been looking at my opponents' decks. For me, Magic seems to be the best choice, mainly because of the winrate/price indicator above the Shadow levels.
But before that. Today I reached level 75 in the game for which I received a Legendary Core pack.
Here it also occurred to me that I had completely forgotten the packs I received for leveling up and for Weekend Ranked in the past few weeks.
I also spent some time opening them.
My results from last week.
I'd like to forge plenty plain cards, however since couple of weeks forging just doesn't work for me. Current value of my card collection:
Back to the next deck. Looking for affordable Magic decks, I found a couple that are much more effective at a slightly higher cost:
While the one above is the more expensive category, the one below is completely affordable, I've seen many similar ones with a winrate of 50-60%.
First, I selected cards with less mana cost and cheaper ones. Since Magic decks will definitely be the ones I plan to play with in the long run, I am willing to buy more cards, regardless of whether I will use them regularly.
Unlike Nature cards, there are very few really usable 1-2 mana cards here. I couldn't find more than these even after looking through them. I found more correct ones, but their prices are too high.
Pyre Sharper is one that I see used a lot in Shadow levels.
All of the 2 mana ones listed here are often used against me. It can be seen from the winrate that it is effective. Neutralizing these with Nature decks was quite a headache.
Among the 3-mana ones, however, there are surprisingly expensive ones. After using only Nature cards, decks, it was a bit surprising for me. Both Form of Unity and Pyrrhic Knowledge cost 25 GODS. Cards get even more expensive as I go up in mana cost, so I'm not even looking at them at the moment. However, they will definitely be needed, both of them are often and effectively used against me.
I'm trying to get the 1-3 mana Meteorite+ cards as soon as possible, and I'll slowly but surely start playing with them in addition to the Plain versions. I think that using 50% of the old Nature deck and 50% of the upcoming Magic deck, the daily ranking rewards will not drop much.
