Easy Masters With Nifty Aggro

So mixed climb with elusive spam and Nifty aggro.

Each deck has its merits one deck has very strong burst passes basically allowing you to bank 5/5 stats on your elusives on turn 3 so this devalues pings.

The other deck is just super fast and has good pings to clear 2/1 spam, and a stun for higher value blocks.

So once again the eternal king doing his own thing and winning casually like a lot!

So I dont know I'd you guys want to take this as a sign that I was right Nifty Aggro is a strong and consistent climbing deck or if you want to say I was wrong because I had to climb with one other deck to correct it's weaknesses.

I would say I was right, I very rarely mono climb anyway usually using a 2-3 deck rotation and that works for me. Last season was elites plus my own ramp deck. This season its elusives and my own aggro list.

  • So for those that don't know burst passing used to be when you'd burst to bank value then pass to pressure your opponent to committing resources.

    Now it's more accurate to say that while burst passing is riskier pass bursting is very strong.

    It's hard to imagine playing any aggro deck right now without a strong pass burst.

    Pirate aggro can take free passes off control in order to draw cards at burst and improve board.

    Elusives can take passes to bank stats on unblockable bodies.

    Playing an aggro deck that cant do that like Annie Jhin feels bad to me.

    So when I said that it's not a great deck in Eternal thats more so what I meant.

    Obviously you can just run your linear optimal hand and win, but it can't really do anything beyond that and is very inflexible in terms of play pattern so objectively it's a little worse than last season for climbing I think

    As for poppy ziggs I don't even know what happened to that deck? Majins attempt at creating a new persistent aggro deck fell off the planet? Oh well we all have our specialties.

    Check is next season when I pilot another off meta homebrew deck from stone to masters on eternal ladder just because that's what Nifty does

  • Also shout outs to Mogwai and Swim they taught me how to play the game and now the student had become the master.

    Also shootouts to the trolls and snipers that try to stop me. Making me work for it only ends up showing off my superiority so I appreciate it.
