Hello! I'm Tony and today you going to believe in your capabilities in winning good prises at Mythic rank on Weekend event on a budget or even as a F2P like I am!
First of all here's my deck I was playing the whole Weekend that happened on 14-15-16th of January 2022.
As you can see on the first screenshot I've hidden my nickname with the only purpose to not let my Weekend opponents know the exact deck I'm playing. Changing nickname is one of the simpliest options into the game client.
At the same time I myself was looking at the opponents' deck via GU decks Player stats page: https://gudecks.com/meta/player-stats.
The price of my F2P Nature deck
At the time of writing the post ETH price is $3,269.30, est. price of my deck is 0.0433 ETH, so my deck price is $141.56. I've been grinding as a F2P for 11 weeks. I have some spare 0.0043 ETH in my Immutable wallet (acquired via trading GU cards from rewards: DO and fused Core cards). I still have unspent 83.3454 $GODS tokens in believe that some time in future (hopefully, this year) it might cost much more than today. But that's just my IMHO, nobody knows
for sure, so always do your OWN research.
Is it possible to win against $1600 deck?
So across my Weekend matches I faced this deck at Mythic rank:
Overall this player made it to 17 wins at Mythic rank on Weekend with this particular deck.
Est. price of the opponent's deck is 0.5148 ETH = $1680.78.
The most expensive cards are: Pyramid Warden, Scythes of the Harvest, Oddi Valka’s Herald, Master Tactician, Out of Its Misery.
Winning against such decks is not an easy task to accomplish I must say. But I had a plan in my head and some counter-meta cards in my deck.
Usefull notes and tips:
- When facing Aggro War decks it's almost always better to pick the Selena's Mark Godpower (it'll help sustain your HP and deal with Protected)
- In current meta I like very very much to have 2 Munosian Infiltrators (such a big value for such low cost!). It makes too easy to deal with cards like: Pyramid Warden, Skeleton Heavy, Marsh Walker, Warmonger Smith, etc... It even kills 0 power creatures and structures (sometimes causing game bugs but mostly making valuable trades possible)
- Low-Hanging Fruit, Faeflame Blade and Selena's mark Godpower help with contesting the board control in early game
- Celestial Stag is undervalued card IMHO, if you can make it generate at least 1 card it could make you the entire game. Also it has Blessing allowing early control of Favor, I love this card! Maybe make it have 4 HP? Nah, I guess it would be too much, haha! 😅
- Falling Star is a conditional spell serving role of being a "slow" removal and buff with the board presence. IMHO, since it's buff I see a rise of this card being used more and more every week
So, the plan was to not lose board control in early-to-mid game and bomb the opponent with my big
beefy creatures like: Giant Pangolin and Charging Oryx. It all went as I planned, it was not easy, but I got the win!
Are we afraid of $400 deck after winning vs $1600?
My next opponent was playing this Nature deck:
Overall this player made it only to 11 wins rewards (IDK exactly how much wins he got, obviously somewhere between 11 and 13) at Mythic with deck similar to what he played against me.
Est. price of the opponent's deck is 0.1399 ETH = $456.34.
The most expensive cards are: Underbrush Boar, Finnian Fruitbearer, Iron-tooth Goblin.
Game plan for my deck is pretty much the same as in previous game and it kinda applies to almost all the Aggro matchups.
So I secured a win and continued my Weekend journey. It all went better than at the week before when I got only 15 wins and took 14 wins reward.
Of course, there were some loses to expensive meta decks like Board wipe death, Hidden Rush Deception, Control War, Frenzied Aggro War, etc...
But the point of this post is to make YOU confident in youself and your deck. I am in no mean a pro player, I'm just a regular guy who likes to play games and make content on the internet. If I can make it to 17 wins at Mythic rank as a F2P, I trully believe YOU can do it too with the little faith in yourself and the luck in card pulls!
Thank you for your time.
