i will readally admit that in MOST circumstances the TOP beast/mech decks are best… but with a SHARED POOL everybody is pulling at the same minions and u can wipe the floor with them with lesser average power decks that u can gaurantee max decks with… like the combination of juraxxis/demons… and this is a discussion forum, i expected opposition… and i am pointing out to people who cant seem to top teir their mech deck because there are no junkbots available… dont dismiss the other options!
you dont always get mukla/rat king/millificent/etc so… when u dont… who do u pick? juraxxis of course! every time he comes up… it’ll be a progress game… even if u get 6th!
Here’s another problem with Jar (and a common trap for any auto-battler) trying to force strats. No matter how much units there are at the pool, aiming for specific strat might just F you in the butt. And Jar kinda forces you to go demons (which is not the right strat imho. Ideally you just go for whatever is the strongest with ANY hero, and heroes must be giving you some additional strats as an option due to specific heropowers. Works with mili, not so much with Jar) (btw I once lost to Jar who just went all mechs XD I got 3rd so don’t know if he won, but it was top 2 for demonless Jar).
Demons do have some things going for them in the case that many times the demons are wide open. Nobody is getting them so if you do decide to go for them you wont be fighting many ppl for them unless Lord J is in the battle.
Technically it is possible to get 4, which would make 1 gold+1 normal. I’ve seen golden mama bear + mama bear once… in close to 300 games.
2 gold + 2 normal is possible on paper. Just need to get all 6 from the pool and then get 2 extra from zerus. Piece of cake.
George can give them divine shield,i have been thinking about playing demons with George but the divine shield alone is not enough and it does come very late.
There is no scaling synergy between the demons,like junkbot or heyena. The shooter is far from good enough.
Also,with how the minion pool is currently designed you can not really afford to spend 4 mana on giving a guy divine shield unless you got all the minions you want already. That hero power is very lategame and you will lose before due to other weaknesses with demons.
no. was just calling my buys… for a sec… then it got complicated… next round was like 5 things…
teir 5 with 8 buys and 2 hero powers at round 7 (i believe) 1 teir above with a solid board… and if i get some lucky rolls… this is over… but placement is low… 7th or 6th because self hits
top 3 with sh*tty minions… only like… 12-14 rounds. just murdering ppl left and right… half builds… smoked…
end rank: 2… i had such crappy rolls and i saw some of the cards i was looking for in deadman decks… but still: 6 games: 3x1st, 1x2nd, 1x6th, 1x8th
I have found it pretty impossible in the super late game where you battle for 1st place. 1 single Mexxna can wreak havoc.
Though when I had amalgams, I had mostly no problems (though mostly it was like menagerie build to buff up amalgams and demons, then switch for additional battlemasters so I guess its not typical pure demon build)
