Talking About How To Run Bad Decks So They Aren't Bad
If you guys havent noticed I have a bit of a knack for solving bad archetypes
and while it's true that sometimes leaning one direction or another can make a brew more volatile
it can also generally improve its rate of climbing
is it better to run age of dragons as a one off board clear meme?
probably not
is it better but more risky to run dragons in your age of dragons deck?
yes
but we can solve for that with frostebites, heals, clears, stuns, challenges etc.
simiilarly with ambush
is ambush a bad archetype?
absolutely!
can we solve the number and draw issues by spamming lucky finds and strikes?
we sure can!
what about pros 32%
no problem I can make poro king playable easy, just by removing the 1 drop spam when it literally gets beat out by every 1 other 1 drop spam deck
instead focusing on braum and that midrange value proposition
in each and every case we take the deck and yes we make it more "volatile"
susceptible to hard counters which is bad in a tournament setting
but in a ladder winrate setting every deck is grossly improved
like it's not even a competition
and if that pisses you off I really dont give a fuck
because it's true

Now should you run say 1 temo 30 burst spells and hard run his mushroom card?
no
theres literalyl a million fucking pings in eternal
half of eternal is pings
you not only made your deck more volatile you literalyl made it just plain worse
like you would have to try hard to build a worse temo deck than to go all in on turn 1 temo
that's fucking terrible
heard of pokey it can kill 3 temos on curve what then?
have fun
and if that's not good enough hows 1 mana flock 4 u?
so yeah volatile to a point, volatile to a point that is good
not wow I fucked myself into 90% of meta matchups
k?
Dude I will happily throw 20 games into your memes if it makes you feel better
You think plowing through the first few turns gives your deck legs?
Climb with it
Win with it
Thrive with it
I dont.give a shit what you do to me
Because I don't matter
Stats matter you slum lord
Holly shit dude that deck was so lit
You should totally climb with that
Trundle bruam into burried in ice
Losing to transform
Yeah good shit!
Love it I want it
Send me the list!
Fucking garbage dealer rofl
Lose again
Memes memes memes
And you dont want someone to 2 mana disintegrate you?
Not like that isn't in a million meta lists
Oh wait....
Youre a dumb mother fucker aren't you?
Like obviously I can't play around stupid in casual que
Like if it's just dumb fucking dumbness across the board I'll just quit out all you're doing is wasting your own time
On eternal ladder brews have to win so there's a general assumption your have to play I to established decks
You have to beat lurk
You have to deal with ping spam
You have to play decks that can win into goooooood decks
Saying hahahhaa I can play random pieces of shit for 1 game then play a random piece of shit the next game
It's like yeah you can
But whyyyyyyyyyyyy?
Take all that time and energy and build 1 good deck and hit diamond with it
Then do it again and again
Then hit masters
Ans do it again
Then we can actually review your garbage like it matters
Oh no did you just give me a free age of dragons and literally get your own Zoe killed.
That seems really bad
Like fucking awful
And did I draw 4 free dragons
That seems really good
Like really good
And yours was fucking awful
Funny how that works?
Shit maybe I should start running your meme for you?
Wow yassao instantly dead to dragon ramp?
Isn't that supposed to be a bad matchup or something?
Maybe build better next time x lax
CIDACAYBBIAQIAIOAEDQSCICAEAQYKQCAYASIKIGAMEQMFJWIBLWIAABAEAQCFA
here ya go I even added targon peak for maximum meme
who cares about good deck building
all big dragons gooooooo
Yeah we can run more frostbites for spellshield xolati high roll
doesn't really fucking matter I was playing with my food
just to see how the list is doing
pretty good
like obviously most decks right now don't really dooooo anything
xolati for example
the entire deck is just high roll 1 card
and it's like answer yes no
and that's cool and all
but let's talk about actual decks and this dragon list is doing well
especially once siren song and all that junk gets nerfed
CIDACAYBBIAQIAIOAEDQSCICAEAQYKQCAYASIKIGAMEQMFJWIBLWIAABAEAQCFA
I still think it's this it's very good and obviously spell shield exodia plays exist
they are literally format warping
I won't pretend they aren't good
but lets assume exodia gets nerfed at some point
so it isn't just siren song decks that A either go small or B go big
let's assume that decks will be good again
with that out of the way this list is strong
Okay so apparently all of Reddit us begging for a siren song nerf
Cuz they are tired of 32/32 xolaties or 1 drop aggro
So the card is literally the face of the biggest creature in LOR and the most agressice creatures
So literally everyone in the community is like hotfix when Riot
I've begging for this since day 1 and it hasn't happened
I'm not sure it will ever happen
It will essentially force and entire reshuffling of the standard format
And pro players don't like that they like their busted shit
As long as it's the simple busted shit they understand and not the busted shit they don't
So probably no hotfix for a month
So yes more spellshield xoalati that literally defunct every champion and deck archetype
Thats fun right?
Reddit u guys having fun
Well Majin is having fun
So thats 1 person vs everyone I guess
Why would you ever do something so stupid as trying ramp in a card game eith big creatures when the biggest creature in the game is a 32/32 with overwhelm and spell shield at 7 mana
Like fick riot did you not Playtest and realize that even though siren song is supposed to buff 1 mana stuff
It for some reason turbo buffs a massive 7 mana overwhelm creature?
Is that working as intended?
10/10 10 mana asol garbage
12 mana dragon spam card garbage
7 mana 32/32 real shit
Thanks Riot
I blame Majin as well old LOR wouldn't swing this shit before standard happened
Okay you know what Riot don't even nerf Siren song okay the cards fine
Just kill the interaction between siren song and xolatie
Just hot fix that and nothing else I'm begging you it's literally a "bug"
Like all I want is for the siren song deck to buff Evelyn you know Evelyn the champion thats fine and her kit
But don't buff some random fucking targon overwhelm creature
How's that Evelyn?
Stop trying my deck is best
Youre embarrassing yourselves and once xolatie gets nerfed my eternal climb in 3 months will be complete
As the eternal king
Yeah I see you guys gave up on the ramp competition and just decided mine was best
But yeah crumble rally ooooh
Definately run that 1 health Lucian into pie toss
It'll be a blast!
You guys are back to running garbage again
So dissapointed
Unplayable on eternal ladder
And worth a wet fart in the grand scheme of things
Hahahahahahahahha
0 aggro protection
In a deck you want to play on ladder?
Good fucking luck
Gg No re
Youre a waste of space and you instantly died like one
Hahahaha
Youre literally sitting there thinking why am I playing this terrible deck
Youre right!
You are.right :)
Like I said I can go 20 games down don't care
It's casual que
You dont have ladder pressure
You can do whatever you want :)
If you can hit masters in eternal with memes then do it
Stiiiiiil don't care
Here I'll throw this one too
Till you get it
Here open swing no blocks
I wont.block anything
Open passes I won't play anything
How good you feeling.in your solitaire?
Having fun doing nothing?
Just watching
Go nuts what a cool deck!
Wow a rally took sooooo good
Can I play your deck!?
It looks sooooo good
You see at the end of the day there is 1 metric for sucess for a bad deck
Can it beat meta
Can it climb
If you want to fuck around with me till we Jack off in each other's hair be my guest
But I dont really have patience for your homo erotic fantasies
Build a deck and climb with it
Win with it
Make it relavent
Otherwise fuck off
And you know you can't
You know you can't mono jarvan tutor into any deck with bounces or vengence
Not even ryze and ryze is terrible
You know this
And yet you insist on wasting my time and energy when your deck can't even beat the worst meta deck
Sure you can beat me with a one off cuz I have no idea what the fuck you're doing and bullshit baffles brains
But on ladder you don't stand a hope in hell
But I will actually climb to diamond with dragon ramp, because I've done it before
If I have to switch to something more competitive to masters then whatever I'll do it
But at least I'll know my brew won 50 games
Not 50 brews that won one game
Thats the difference between quality and total shit
CIDACBQGDYAQMAZJAIAQGAQMAIBAGAYEAMDQGBYIBYCAEBQWEYWTUAABAEAQGNY
Like no bullshit this aggro list without a hint of exaggeration is a masters list from last season
There is no pretending and no bullshit
CICQCAQGAUAQKAAMAEDQABICAQAAGCAIAYDAMBYLB4IBYHRDAAAQCAIADI
This was a diamond list from 4 seasons ago
CICQEAYJC5LQEBABBQHAEBQBEQUQGAIBBQVDEBADAEBQMCQWAAAQCAIBGQ
This was a diamond list from 3 seasons ago
Every single deck had its time in the sun and it performed well 100% off meta in a relavent and timely ladder environment
Game after game after game
And youre playing 1 off bullshit into my decks and you think you have a big dick
Give me a fucking break
Hahahahahahaha
Oh no random bullshit lost?
That was your one chance too
You dont get to ever run that deck again
Quick delete delete
Eject eject
Better craft your next random bullshit deck fast
Where did it go?
What will it be
It's a one off then gone
Like a fart in the wind
Stiiiiiil don't care
The lack of caring is just so far out there
It's just unbelievable the lack of caring
We can slug it out all day in casual que
And I can throw 500 games
I can throw 1000 games
I can throw 10 million games
And still hit masters just as easily in 3 months
Just like I always do in eternal every season
Still don't care guys
Have all the wins on the house
Casual que party games
All on me
You can still suck my medals yum yum
Like if you asked Michael Jordan to play basketball with a bunch of school children
Would he be mad when the kids win
Nah he ain't even trying
No stakes who cares
Yeah so once you were done being a filthy try hard did I just go right back to dominating with my poro brew?
I wonder why that was?
Cuz you can "try hard" with anything
"Try" your little heart out
"Try" the best you can
But at the end of the day your 32% poro deck
Will still be a 32% poro deck
Cuz ladder doesn't care how hard you "try"
It's just math
Sorry
So try hard into me 500 times a day
But math ain't gonna change
Yeah that frostbite deck was pretty bad too
Despite how hard you were trying
Wtf was that vanilla 4/5 play into open swing
Youre like plz plz plz let me win one more game
And I'm like I don't give a fuck my deck speaks for itself cuz math
Wonder who's right?
Probably the math
Cool anivia deck bro you could have really done a lot with her
But then you try harded with ladros otk
Like which one is it?
Pick a lane and stop sucking dick
And trying so hard rofl 🤣
Why are you trying so hard into poros?
Jesus you guys are so fucking funny
Like what does it gain?
What does it do?
Why bother?
It's poros
Like you could be taking a bad deck and making it better
Like 32% poros
But youre so prideful you're like nah
Can't do that
Gotta try harder
Try try try
😁😁😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don't be sad Viktor Braum I'd here!!!
God you were playing that shit fast
You were pissed
But build a better deck to put that energy into
And stop trying so hard
Like do you see me going in for gymiks
Oh no better fucking otk and get wincon off as fast as fucking possible?
Gotta fuck this guy right in thr pussy?
Nah I literally don't give a shit
Let the deck do the work
See how it goes
Rinse and repeat
No Gimmicks here
You didn't even have confidence in that one you knew it was shit
Take your time breathe
I can poros into every deck you have all day long
You know my list no frills no Gimmicks
It will lose when it loses
Win when it wins
Tide comes in tide comes out
Still won't stop it from being the best poro king deck and that's fine with me :)
New set new expansion good fun
Mmmhmm yep
Deck just doing the work
God's work
Just wracking in those percentages
And I'm on auto pilot here
Zzzzzzz
Replace me with an ai
And this deck still works
Come on you can't ai with scissors
Thats only for try hard and you still lost
Hahahaha
Just gonna casually grab the number 2 orn deck
Stretch no big deal
Just cuz I fucning mother ficning hate that poro deck!!!!!!
Gasp cough I'm okay I'm okay
Hahahahahaha
Outing yourself a little
Gotta assassinate that poro deck eh?
Hahahahahaha
Plz stop its over
Your guys are sooooo transparent
You did your Viktor into poros game
It was a 50/50 my deck was better than yours
Let's leave it at that okay
Steam and steam and cook those steamed hams
It doesnt matter
It literally doesn't matter
It's over
It's the good poros deck
From 32% garbage to 50% garbage
Hurray
