I've been having trouble vs. these current meta decks at around rank 7. Just started this game a few weeks ago, so I crafted this really cheap deck to get me going.
I'd like some help with subs/techs to help me against these match-ups. I run missiles because it is pretty good against muster and all the divine shields in the pally deck (and redemption). Also really good against other aggro decks. Should I put another one in? It's pretty useless against mid-range and control decks so don't know about it.
Thinking about adding mad scientist/mirror entity. I used to run scientist-entity, but I HATED drawing a mirror entity that I'd have to play manually (or worse, mirror entity and a scientist in the same hand, SO BAD vs. warrior and other aggro decks). Maybe it's better now that the meta is developing around mid-range/control decks? Although I think this change would make my match-up vs. paladin a bit worse because of it's plethora of 1/2 drops that could marginalize it's value.
Thoughts on polymorph also? Could be effective vs. Twilight drake/belcher AND Chillmaw (literally hardest count to my deck, lol)
Thoughts on ironbeak/fel reaver/ pyroblast too? These would be the cards I could obtain reasonably quickly (don't have atm).
Also Dr. Boom and Archmage I can't add to the deck because I just don't have the dust. I'll get them eventually, but its not something I can expect to get in the next 2 weeks or so.
On a related note, I'm pretty sure mech mage is worse now in this early TGT meta because of these new meta decks. Feel free to comment on other decks you think that I should work towards, but I don't really have any other cards so I won't be able to switch immediately (hence asking for advice for techs with my current deck). Thanks all!
