Welcome to this month’s thread on hitting legend! Got my session done yesterday and didn’t have time to do a write up until today. Decided to get it out of the way much earlier this month since I had the time.
The meta is in a very interesting place, or at least it was for my climb. There are some very clear standouts when it comes to decks to climb with. That being said, there are many decks fully capable of hitting legend. Maybe the most there have ever been. I think there are about 16 decks across all classes that can reasonably hit legend if played well. That is a very healthy number. Some will just be harder than others.
There are a few things I am just tired of seeing. Elise and Ziliax are at the top of the list. If you do not get your own Elise or a Renovator you get run over by the sheer value the location provides on curve. Ziliax I have less of a problem with, but I hate that every class has access to such an insane amount of healing and board value on turn 9(sometimes sooner).
Lastly, I can’t stand Imbue Rogue. It is horribly unfun to play against. Getting high rolled by a slot machine feels terrible. Even when you win the entire game feels tedious .
Honestly, the deck plays the same against basically every match up except Quest Warrior. Against Quest Warrior I try to juice Al’Akir as much as possible. I won multiple games by getting him over 10 attack and then making a 5/5 copy of him for lethal from hand. You want to mulligan hard for any early game.
Give the deck a try. Will answer any questions.
