Who else is bored by the new Songhai General Matchups?

The issue is that I play Vanar main, but also try to get the Abyssian and Magmar generals unlocked. Right now S-Rank is CROWDED with the new Songhai general with either Mantra or Eight Gates lists. I’d like to know your felt winrates against these decks. Besides Vanar with shroud I have a lousy winrate as those new decks give nearly no form of interaction. My biggest issue are 3 of the BBS spells: General moves an additional space, teleport enemy minion, draw an extra card. Combined with the board control options you lose a lot of damage on the enemy general which you normally had in combat. Then the combo kills you from 20 life. This is only anecdotal evidence… but I really want to hear more from the side of the Songhai players… Have your winrates improved? Please share your thoughts!

If it’s really crowded with Mantra/8g only, just build a deck accordingly, teched with ProphetOtWPalm, Magesworn, Archon SpellBinder etc and start farming :wink:

I wish Magesworn was a rare from the Ancient Bond set…

Ok I got more answers… an early Juggernaut (turn 3 as second player) really messes with the removal suite they have. If you can pull an Onyx Bear Seal you got a really good chance that your Jugg gets out of control.

Being fair, a early Jug messes with most things.

I think I’ve only lost once to an S ranked Shidai player, out of maybe 5 games? They had god hand, so there’s no beating Songhai when that happens anyways. I don’t think people have built very good decks for her yet, but she clearly has potential. I’ve been enjoying the change in scenery :slight_smile:

I got swarmed by people trying to get Shidai yesterday, by playing Kaleos (for some reason instead of Reva). Only had one loss out of the couple of games I played with Blood Rage quillbeast Starhorn. Feels okay playing against people who don’t know how to play Hai and those who decide to ignore quillbeasts. Haven’t played against Shidai, though.

I beat Shidai in diamond yesterday. It was close tho.

I personally am going to be using her as my bangle backstab combo general. Before the new generals, I used kaleos since a few of the minions like ki beholders and kaido’s like to be positioned well. but shidai just offers so much more.
