How I hit Legend with only 1 potential game per day

Here’s what I did: I combined the knowledge of probability and statistics with some knowledge on trading financial markets: the power of expecting the predictable while not being too greedy.

Here are the only steps needed:

a) I picked the best last-24-hours deck after looking at the last-24-hours meta decks of hsguru; I filtered for the entire diamond+legendary on all searches for a good reason; since the algorithm now ignores the rank entirely (most of the time) then it’s approximately irrelevant if one is say Diamond 8 or Legend 10000 (my Legendary came at Diamond 1 when I was playing with a Diamond …8!).

b) I never played when I was on a losing streak (I just stopped on the 1st loss of the day); this is pure financial markets knowledge on trend following; some say maybe after 2 losses you should stop but that’s debateable and at the end of the day if it’s approximately the same then it saves time of your life to stop only on the 1st loss of the day (hence the “potential 1 game/day” of the title).

c) This gets a few variations and micromanagement to improve it; for example if you feel “fresh” in the same day after hours then you can start again for your 2nd “stop after the 1st loss” session of the day; also when you pick decks then some intuition improves the stats (e.g. yes a deck might have 2% more win rate but if a card has no synergy at all then it might be by random chance).

An observation about this month specifically:

Vicious Syndicate are useless at their assessments most of the time. They predicted the Druids and Warriors dominating everything; it was the patch of just using Aggro flood paladin to go to Legend in most days; this was clearly what the stats were indicating all the way from the lowest ranks to at least right before top 1K.

Tell me what you think and if it helps you and if you see any mistakes.

You used advanced knowledge in statistics and finance to arrive at legend playing consecutive games of flood paladin each day until you lose once. Gotcha.

With such powerful brain you must be earning loads of money trading in cryptostuffs 🫨

Eh, I usually try to do it without net decking, and am usually always successful getting there. It did get a lot harder on me since they changed how the MMR matchmaking works from D5-1 though.

Do you have a better idea? Better than losing.

then we might be the only two…I know none of the people arguing for netdecking has done it without netdecking. I also think they forget that the saying is “if it were easy, everyone would do it.” So many people netdeck it is rare to see anyone playing something original.
