I feel myself an Olympic champion with a proud bronze medal 😀 A leggie pack is mine. 🥂
Beaten by Chieftain of Impulse 😮
An efficient and, at the same time, unusual deck is the best solution because your opponent doesn't know how to treat it. Look at this Dragon-Chieftain Control War deck I lost to. I just didn't understand what was happening.
I was less original but, I believe, my non-standard choice of Heroic Brawlers, Muggings, and Sleep Darts was slightly confusing plans of my opponents as well. This was my deck:
Deck code: GU_1_2_CCmCCmCCQCCQIAlCDDCDDIClIClKCiKCiBDtBDtBEsBEsKCZKCZKCbKCbGBnGBnCAbKCnKCnICHICHKCsKCsCAJCAJ
Lokian Disciple wasn't a constant card. I tried many. Lokian was my last choice. But this slot had little impact on the results. Should I include the Hollow instead taking into account that Control Light is my worst matchup? 🙂
Mugging is More Powerful Than Ever!
Mugging, suppported by MJ strength stealers, is great: reduce the attack of an enemy creature to 0, remove it with Mugging, and get three 1/1 Rogues on your side of the board. Like this:
Heroic Brawler as a Big Beast
I keep spreading my pro-HB propaganda 😃 Amazing card!
Against Aggro Light
The deck was created to beat Aggro Light and this is how I climbed to Mythic. This is what I mean:
- 2 Mugging against protection and generally reactive
- 2 Makeshift Shivs against protection and for finishing creatures before they are buffed
- 3 removals (2 Sleep Dart, 1 Stoneskin Poison) or 5 if counting mentioned 2 Mugging. Kill them all before they get buffed!
- Bound by Her Will with strength stealers, of course
Against Aggro Nature
Sleep Darts have appeared in this deck specially to comfort Jaguars and Singsongs Sinsongs (Wicked songs of the sin? 😃) and all the Aggro Nature gang. Mugging is very helpful too especially when it attacks 0-strength creature weakened by strength-stealers. And of course, Bound by Her Will.
Against Anubians
Use mostly hidden creatures, buff them, and hit face. Anubians need a wall to beat against otherwise they aren't so powerful. And try to steal Priestess of Takhat. Bifurcating Curse can break your plans as it happens to me this WR but it is not so common in Anubian decks. This deck is strong against Heirloom Death.
Weaknesses
I don't know how to beat Control Light with this deck. Maybe, the answer is near but I haven't found it yet. Happily, there are only 3% people playing Control Light these days.
This deck isn't crafted to beat Mages too often although buffed hidden creatures can be helpful. 2 Ludian Thespians + 2 Dark Knives is a serious threat for Magic.
Results
| Domain | Wins | Losses |

| Deception | 2 (1 Aggro, 1 Midrange) | 0 |
| Nature | 4 (1 Aggro, 2 Control, 1 Regen) | 1 Aggro |
| War | - | 2 (1 Control, 1 Aggro) |
Massive Bug but I was Lucky
I got this shuffle god power although I didn't choose it!! 😠I was mad because beating Anubians isn't that hard (considering I have played them a lot by myself). I tried to shuffle, and the process was out of my control - random!! Catastrophe! 😣
I guess the guy Feanor | Flavius had some technical issues as well. Or he was extremely unlucky with cards. Because he had no answer to my buffed not-hidden Guild Enforcer. The opponent conceded.
Happy End
Next WR I am in Mythic, no need to grind, happy 😎
