Another player from HW has reached the Master rank. Hurray!
Passed the trials on the first try, used Vengeance Blood. Great deck, it's been significantly more effective than Mice lately.
My stats:
Forest - 98 lvl, 117 wins
Sword - 119 lvl, 220 wins
Rune - 87 lvl, 97 wins
Dragon - 119 lvl, 172 wins
Shadow - 114 lvl, 159 wins
Blood - 116 lvl, 194 wins
Haven - 119 lvl, 209 wins
Funny thing — when I realized I wouldn't be interested in playing mostly Necro anymore, I decided to level up other classes just for a change of pace so I wouldn't get bored of it too quickly. Great logic, right? I think it was already a kind of expression of fatigue from my favorite deck. It became a turning point; I seriously got into other classes, and my interest in the game grew because of it. I found other favorite decks with better win rates, hence the spread of wins. Maybe I would've reached Master faster if I'd focused more on climbing instead of experimenting with everything, but that's what I wanted, and it was definitely worth it.
The biggest revelations for me were Haven and Dragon. I love playing strong followers and controlling the board, so Aegis became the perfect control deck for me. It's a shame that in the current meta, the only Haven deck worth running is Storm, unless you want an auto-loss against every D-Shift you come across. But I like Storm Haven too, and it fits the leader. I bought Garuda just so I wouldn't have to play as Eris, who annoyed me, and frankly, I never imagined I'd actually grow to like that feathered face as a leader, lol.
Dragon appealed to me for the same reasons, and given the class mechanics, there was plenty of room to maneuver. I got lucky pulling some great legendaries for Dragon, and that was the start — I gave up trying to squeeze out wins with Discard, even though I'd leveled it up pretty well by then, and invested a ton of vials into a good deck for this class. Never regretted it; playing Dragon is almost the most fun of all.
I have the most wins with Sword, mainly thanks to an aggro build with Frog during the VD, which, funny enough, was the first meta deck I created for this class (the last class I brought up to meta standards, but it turned out to be the most effective). Before that, I was running some homemade nonsense that surprisingly yielded decent results until it became completely outdated.
Overall, I'm happy with my path to the Master rank. I got a ton of excitement and enjoyment out of it. Many thanks to Revan for popularizing this game here back in the day; I probably wouldn't have found out about it otherwise or gotten interested.
And here's one last thing — check out this beauty I found in my screenshot folder. This screenshot was taken a long time ago; I wanted to post it but completely forgot about it.
Ever since I built the deck, I dreamed of bringing them all out in a single battle, and one day it actually happened! I was up against a Sword player, and I risked getting hit by Albert from topdeck (the opponent was obviously waiting for that), but I just couldn't pass up such an opportunity.
I only managed to pull that off once, and it's the only one because once Snow White came out, there was no need to run three Aegises in the deck.
