Bear in mind that I’ve hit top 283 (peak) 2 days ago while swapping between 2 decks - sludgelock and frost DK, both with a handicap.
Sludgelock is missing Sir Finley because I didn’t wanna craft a card which rotates out, and Frost DK is missing the legendary minion that copies all the spells in your hand.
Imagine if I had those two cards! I guarantee both of them raise the deck winrate by a few %
My sludgelock also runs 2x trogg gemtosser because I love the card. Because of that, I don’t run Fracking, which means I only have 4 sludge spenders in my deck (2x Waste Remover and 2x Chaos) and that makes my win rate swingy and full of luck/unluck streaks. For comparison, even Sludgewis (Norwis) on NA couldn’t progress from 300 legend with sludgelock yesterday. The deck’s just dead.
I will never play value decks on the ladder. Or if I do, that’s when I’m top 10.
I’m pretty sure it’s not the deck’s fault I’m stuck.
This is the first time I’ve been this high, which means I only had 10 bonus stars to begin with. Imagine where I’d be with 11?
I guess we’ll see next month.
