Mechs can often just run over people playing other strategies once you get junk bot since beast and menagerie take more time to get strong. That being said, I think mechs will eventually lose to other strats if the game reaches super late stages since mama bear is OP and menagerie boards can get crazy huge
I agree. They just released the latest nerf; Junkbot to 5, just as I suggested. The game should even out now quite a bit.
Murlocs are very viable now. Everything except the adapt murloc guy is at tier 2. Just hang at tier 2 until you've gotten some op murloc stats. Then get to tier 6 over 3 turns. Usually just before the tier 3 upgrade hits 0.
You end up with a board that does a good bit of damage and can still beat people as you focus on tiering up.
Even if the adapt guy doesn't play nice you have a lot of options once you are at tier 6.
Just had a nice demon run, too, where I was able to load up a couple of monster health Annihilan Battlemasters with Brann. Those don't always seem that powerful due to the difficulty in scaling up their attack (and lack of poisonous), but boy do they mop up tokens. That's a really pure way to win a game if you can avoid running them into an opposing poisonous minion.
Whatever the case, I definitely have more fun attempting those runs than mech/beast. Almost everything comes down to landing an early Brann or three, but I'm hoping that Blizzard finds a sweet spot in terms of card pool that allows those builds to be more viable.
I just went heads up with one that was 13/640... I had no poisonous... 2nd place :(
I am just at win strike today first place for 4 time in a row 2 times with ragnaros, 1 time with afkay and one time with neferian. 3 times managerie build and a murloc build with nefarian
afkay- mech build
rag two times managerie build - one mech one beast one murloc and one demon and a lightfang or bronzebeard
Neferian- murloc build sickest build ever with nefarian nothing can stop divine shield and poison combo
Btw beast build is unstable if you cannot find damn mama bear you lose.
