dichro crisis

Win rate: 99%
Difficulty: 3/5

Overview

Badg here with another high winrate Gauntlet deck. Don't play this in Throne. Dichro's Ruin's one of my favorite cards, so I have a deck including it with every color combo. This is one of my favorites.

As always with Dichro's Ruin decks, the idea is get at least 1 Dichro's Ruin up asap, and then control the opponent until you win. If you get one Dichro's Ruin in the first half of your deck it's almost impossible to lose.

You don't need to jump the gun with your removal, as this deck has a lot of healing. You don't need to destroy every 1-2 strength unit instantly, because chances are you will outheal their damage. Save removal for high value threats. Use Heavy Hail discard on Gatecrash Trooper, or Crisis of Faith if you have more than 1 in your hand.

Elvish Swindler almost always will grab Dichro's Ruin unless you already have one and don't have a Pinnacle of the Reach and it's discounted via Passionate Artisan.

A lot of the time the AI will destroy your Execution Pit, even if you already played the ultimate / it does nothing when destroyed. They actually serve as a buffer to your good relics.

Sometimes if you haven't drawn a second card this turn yet (no Pinnacle of the Reach), you can use Rabbit's Foot and then a draw card to gain an extra power to curve out.

A Gatecrash Trooper or second Crisis of Faith in your hand make for great market swap targets.

Optimal card play ordering

You really only need 1 Pinnacle of the Reach and that's more than enough. Ideal dichro/pinnacle order from Elvish Swindler would be dichro > pinnacle > dichro > dichro > dichro. Exception could be made for a pinnacle over the 4th dichro if you're scared of your pinnacle being removed and you don't have a lot of draw in your hand.

Know When to Hold 'em should always be played after Reflection or Ancient Agreement unless you only have one Gatecrash Trooper left, otherwise you lowering your chances to get multiple Gatecrash Trooper draws.

Reflection should always be played before Ancient Agreement, because Ancient Agreement could play the destiny'd version afterwards.

Play Passionate Artisan before Dichro's Ruin on turn 2 unless the deck you are playing against has Eilyn's Favor, or may play a charge unit or unit with a summon damage effect (will auto-die with dichro).

Sometimes when playing Crisis of Faith you don't want to play this turns power prior to playing, as it will give you an extra draw, and chances are you will draw a power anyway. Every extra draw can multiply into more draws because of Gatecrash Trooper and Reflection with destiny.

Mulligan

You mostly just want Dichro's Ruin. Passionate Artisan is good too.

Market

Use Know When to Hold 'em if you don't need removal to grab a Gatecrash Trooper. If there are none left in the deck, you could still use it to grab a Reflection with destiny.

You can use Sinister Rumors to draw a Gatecrash Trooper from your void after discarding it with Heavy Hail, Crisis of Faith, or hand overflow

You could swap out Bore for Poison the Well or Invasive Species or Swift Refusal.

Influence

You need 2 blue, 1 purple and 1 red to play every card. After 2 blue 1 purple and 1 red stack purple for Amethyst Waystone.
