Silver Rank is frustrating / What are the things you dislike most in-game

#8

Your problem is simple: you’re new. :slight_smile:

Trust me, many of us have been there. In two months, if you stick with it and learn, you will look back on this thread and laugh.

My first month I couldn’t get above 14. Now it’s no problem.

This is a GREAT community, lots of help to be had if you ask for it. But be specific. Give decklists. Tell us what you like to play. Tell us if you need budget decks.

Feel free to add me in game if you like. I also run a stream dedicated to learning and would be happy to review some games and make comments.

Game is pretty tough, you should get there eventually when you learn what is most comfortable for you to play.

There is no must deck to climb with
but some ways are easier then others

#10

Wow one of the first time I see a response like this in a game community! Love you guys! This is one of the reasons why I play this game!

Climbed at 13th rank and last month was 15th,just changed list and make a little more experience, I’m new but wanna see the diamonds soon!

@akurane @paralykeet Yeah. I’m going to upload them as soon as I can.

@qeltar Oh, that’s pretty cool. Stream link ? I’d also like to know your time zone, because it’ll be hard for me to watch if you’re streaming at 4 am in mine. I’m totally in for budget decks too.

wat? I’ve been playing meme groovy lion magmar deck since lion’s first appearance, and i had no problem to get to gold, yeah not very high but I’m a casual meme player, but with some improvements I could get to diamond (I have no Krons, and every deck in gold seems to run 3 of them)

I look forward to you joining us on the stream!
The link would be something like www.twitch.tv/qeltar
I’m terrible with time zones, so I’ll just tell you that his stream will start at about 12.5 hours after the time of this post.

#15

Ouch. This roughly is 3 am for me.

#16

Thanks ! I crafted the full Reva deck, I hope I’ll do well ^^

#17

Songhai is evil! Play Magmar instead! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

#18

I do play Magmar :wink:

#19

@phayze - Thanks man. :slight_smile:

@dewize - Sorry about the time zones. I do play a little personally earlier in the day but evenings my time are the only option for streaming. I do save all my streams, but it’s not quite the same.

Still feel free to add me, ask away if you have any questions.

what i dislike the most is who ever i am playing against at that moment. lol i took me a couple of months to finally get into gold. getting into gold can seem hard at times. remember positioning is key.

#21

Hey. So I did take my time ( I COMPLETELY forgot about it ) but here’s one of the decks I currently use.

The other one is the Vanar one there ( I didn’t modify it yet despite the advices I was given )

And the last one I use is the budget Reva deck mentionned in the link mentionned by locoblutaxt
I tend to focus on 3 decks at a time so those are the ones I use but I still occasionally use Lyonar, I’ll probably upload it later.

#22

Your Magmar deck doesn’t make much sense tbh. You don’t have a clear wincon or theme, don’t run any good and reliable 4-drop like Taygete or Dioltas, run way too many buffs (and primordial gazer) but no minions that really profit from them (ranged, forcefield etc.). Amu and Vindicator with Vaath are questionable choices to begin with, same for Razor Skin since you aren’t running Zoo. You also aren’t running any removal, egg morph and thumping wave are staples and plasma storm is at least damn good right now, but not necessary especially for aggressive archetypes.

This is my version of midrange Magmar, works decent enough. (and isn’t horribly expensive)
Grow as a Theme isn’t horribly viable, even with Moloki and Kujata which are key pieces to it. My experiences with it have been mediocre at best, and i have some experience with memes and underrated decks. Earth Walker isn’t a good minion, ever, even with Moloki, simply because Moloki is in the same slot. Gazer is an option in aggressive lists i guess, but its body is just really ass for 3 Mana, not the best option. Vindicator has some merits, but you basically need Starhorn and its not great even then. Confluence and Razor Skin are solid cards, but perform best in Zoo Archetypes. Amu is pretty bad in Magmar, because Magmar needs their 4 Drops (sunsteel, dioltas, taygete) and amu doesn’t contest a mana tile. Sure it’s stats aren’t bad, but in general a pet needs a really strong effect to be worth running.

Well I tried making a Magmar list without any epics or legendaries. Like most budget decks it’s midrange with an emphasize on face. Try to get control of the board and judge when it’s best to abandon everything to go for the face. If possible hold on to a shroud/repulsor/egg morph whatever to get rid of any last ditch provokes.

The obvious upgrade are makantors.

I also have a epic/leg less kara deck. The main thing it is lacking is card draw since there are no spelljammers or l’kian. It will mainly rely on blazehound and cryo snowchaser recycling to maintain handsize. Remember that you can always suicide a chaser to return it to your hand then recycle it to fish for a stronger card when you think it will become too low impact. Otherwise its the same old kara, use maws and other cheap efficient creatures to get board control. I also added 2 razorbacks to give the possibility of finishing the game earlier before your card draw weakness rears its head.

Regarding your Vaath deck, I highly recommend crafting 3 mankantor before anything else. Your deck had a grow theme: moloki huntress and gro will have great synergy. I’d also recommend getting Taygete as soon as possible, due to how strong she is at dealing with big threats even with the recent health nerf to her.

For room, I’d recommend getting rid of Amu for Gro, Taygete for Earth Walker (slow grow minion), amplification, nature confluence and dragonbone golem for mankantor warbeast and moloki huntress (amplification has no real synergy, nature confluence is heavily RNG, and dragonbone seems more of a placeholder). Also, it’s probably best to add more removal, such as egg morph and thumping wave

#25

Ooookay. I knew something was wrong with my deck :confused: Magmar just costs A LOT iMO, I can’t really craft all the needed cards without de ( which I like to avoid ) or grinding Gauntlet, which is a pain since it’s so long. I guess I’ll have to rely on other factions because spells aside, and even, I only have the 2 drops/basic cards you all suggested for my deck.

#26

magmar is one of the cheaper factions

#27

When you got spirit :stuck_out_tongue: I have about 0 spirit right now.
