Welcome to my weekly series where I will be attempting to help you survive the bronze robot gauntlet and ranking up to silver. A couple weeks ago there was a discussion going on in general chat about the pros and cons of MANY people owning thousands of bots. This discussion was ended abruptly when the mod began silencing people including Mavericks, who are supposed to have the ear of the devs. Shortly afterwards it was announced that in order to combat bots, players names would be hidden and only last 5 battles available which may hinder win trading but does nothing to most bots and eliminates a tool players were using to even the field. This left some wondering if this was just a knee jerk reaction? If they don't really understand how bots work at all? or if it was just a slap on the wrist to players for daring to complain about bots? Any good bot could pretty much care less about who you are or what your battle history is and given your rank and last 5 battles could probably make a pretty good guess who you are anyway. Any good bot is keeping battle history data, looking at its cards, the battle restrictions, and possibly what is commonly played in that situation in its database, then picking a team that wins against that commonly played combination and the most other different combinations. Here I am going to teach you to beat the bots at their own game
Winning Combinations
So as I said above the bots have their list of winning combinations, so we will need our own and the great thing about our list is for bronze most if not all of these are starter cards besides the fiends, which are somewhat optional. I have used this same list on my account and my alt test accounts to easily move through bronze and into silver.

So let me say a few more things before you are off to climb to silver. Drake of Arnak and Thaddius are interchangeble on this list, Drake of Arnak will give your unarmored death mobs and extra hit they can take in alot of cases. This is a work in progress I will be posting updates weekly because the meta is always changing. In the future I will try to make the table fit on the page better. You may be surprised by this but it is actually easier to play in Silver than Bronze.
