Just went 6-1 on my Expedition
So I just went 6-1 on my Expedition. Not just 6 wins--literally undefeated until game 7. ;-) That's never happened to me before. I've had some good campaigns, some bad campaigns, but even when I'm doing "good" that's more like 60% win rate. I've never had one that was so good that it didn't drop any games--so you can imagine my surprise when I got shut out on the final game.
My deck was basically straight aggro: Draven + Lucian with lots of early game aggro, tons of Noxius 1-2 drops, battlecasters, and 3x brothers bond. It was surprising effective (side note #1: don't neglect your early game when drafting, guys!) Final Boss was a wonky P&Z/Frejlord deck with Anivia + Ashe + 1 other champ (don't exactly remember; he never played any); I was even doing OK until he dropped a Chempunk Shredder on curve (side note #2: when's the last time you've seen one of those played?) which completely cleared my board. From there on, it was an uphill battle with me top-decking and him with card advantage and plenty of good answers. I did manage to get him down to 1-HP and threaten next-turn lethal, but he managed to get me to exactly 0 the round before.
I can't really complain--I imagine my deck seemed like super-cancer to all my previous opponents, plus 6 wins is still pretty good--but that last game just got me. It was my first trial, but I need to take a mental palette cleanser before attempting trial #2 so I thought I'd post here. I hope everyone is doing well!
EDIT: meant 6-1, not 6-0 lol. Sorry; I guess I was more worked up than I thought!
