Information

Rank 1 on Nov 8 2022. I'm pretty sure this deck is not good. I did most of my climb with 4-Lutestrung Bow FPS, made Master, decided to fool around with brews, and made rank 1 completely by accident. Nevertheless, rank 1 is rank 1, so I'll share.

I still misplay a ton with this deck. In the interest of avoiding misinformation I will not share any piloting tips.

I played about 20 games with this in gold and was flat .500.

Can you explain some of the strategy? what do mean you misplay-ed? What are you looking for in open? Are there any cards you hold for the right moment?

As I posted, the deck probably isn't good in the first place. I've had little success with it after the one time I lucked into rank 1.

All-Nighter and Marauder are the best cards to look for in the opening hand, and the general strategy is to block everything with deadly units, gain life with Insatiable Bug, and either win with huge Conduits or completely deck the opponent out.

The issue is you have no answer to Ramcart, and have no true board wipe, so you lose to both fast beatdown and over-the-top Unleash shenanigans, so the deck isn't really good against much.

Not gonna lie to ya, as a Magic player, I was expecting "Black - Blue - Green" control, not literal bugs.

Looking forward to the deck!

This was chuckle worthy. :D
