Information

With Bastion Rising coming up, I assume some people will need to get some fast wins in gauntlet to get 25k gold.

This deck is a tweaked version of multiple expedition championship top decks. It is probably the best deck for grinding gauntlet: It's fast, it's consistent, it draws well, it has flyers, it has lifesteal, it plays must-kills left and right, and most importantly, it's fun. Playing gauntlet for long times can be tiresome (specially if you're not a lunatic like I am). Playing a boring deck doesn't help at all.

Boss fights are also good especially with the new boss that gives you a free Rolant. Double damage and Charge boss can highroll a win against you but they would do that regardless of your deck.

If you have suggestions to improve this deck, I would love to hear them:)

ignoring my other market preferences a 3 cost relic by the name of partnership agreement works nicely with the crownbreakers making them lifesteal on your turn every time.

Hey! Finally someone else running bracers!
Watermelon Eternal Version: 20.10.06
I had the chance to try it during the event. Good stuff :)

How do you handle the Attachments deck? The A.I. seems to annoyingly play them on curve every game with a back up just waiting to kill your Hojan or Kira.
Watermelon Edited Eternal Version: 20.10.06
The attachment boss disappears when you reach high mmr in gauntlet so I don't have enough experience playing agaisnt it unfortunately, but I assume like most games, your best bet is using your 1 cost battle tricks to full value. If you have only one or 2 units in your opening hand, it's best to wait until turn 3 to play hojan/icaria/kira so you can protect them with a 1 cost spell.
But as always, the AI just highrolls and runs over you in some games and you just have to accept it. Part of Gauntlet's nature

I haven't played this list yet, but in general I like having a unit in the market to make sure I have some proactive play, especially on an empty board. Kodosh's Stranger would probably be my choice here.
Watermelon Edited Eternal Version: 20.10.06
Good point ( the matket spells need you to have a unit on board to activate but still I think its good to have a unit in the market)
I added him to the market.

I'd recommend some Copperhall Bailiff, and would run 4 Unseen Commando no matter what. I've been running a mono-J Gauntlet deck since the beginning and I love it.

Here's mine: Great Justice

Thanks for your feedback
Copperhall Bailiff is a good market card against blitz decks if they're giving problems. Unseen comando, as good as the card usually is, is too slow for this kind of deck. Cards like Icaria, Kira and mantle of justice finish the game so fast and there's already some lifesteal in the deck. If you feel like running him, I think cutting Valk. Enforcers and a single hooru convoy is the way to go.
