Salvado por la magia: Reporte del 'Weekend Ranked' || Saved by magic: Weekend Ranked report

Terminó el segundo Weekend Ranked en la "carrera" por los packs de Tides of Fate. La sensación principal que me dejó es que la competencia está durísima. No obstante, por fortuna, en cuanto a desarrollo y resultados este fue casi un calco para mí. Aunque un poco tarde, este es el balance de mi WR: Mantuve mi racha de la semana pasada, con el mismo mazo y, sin pena ni gloria, acabó mi participación con nueve victorias, habiendo comenzado en Mythic.

En cuanto a resultados, la diferencia más relevante recayó en que, en los días posteriores, me tomé el tiempo de jugar las partidas necesarias para sumar 30 victorias y así asegurar un sobre regular (lo que se traduce en dos cartas más), para terminar con un total de seis en la bolsa.

El mazo

Esta vez opté por usar dos mazos. Principalmente luego de una seguidilla de derrotas con mi siempre fiel aggro light, que en principio respondió como debía, y entre altos y bajos lo mantuve por las primeras ocho partidas.

Sobre este mazo, de nuevo, la actuación destacada se la llevó Madame Denholm To You, una criatura que, tras acumular más de 100 partidas usándola, puedo decir que para este arquetipo es excepcional. Este también es el caso de Aggressive Superior, que probablemente fue la criatura con la que más finiquité partidas. No me canso de confirmar que es el finisher que pudiera tener un aggro light. Con un impacto en mesa muy superior al de sus similares, incluso por encima de Asterius, Glittering One.

Sin embargo, a casua de la gran cantidad de arquetipos diferentes a los que enfrenté, que derivaron en algunas derrotas alarmantes, decidí terminar mis últimos 10 enfrentamientos con un mazo de magia.

Con este *midrange magic" (según la definición de GUDecks, aunque yo creo que califica mejor como mazo control) salvé mis últimas partidas y cerré otro WR con resultados que, si bien no son excepcionales, a mí me bastan por ahora. Puede no parecerlo en este instante, debido a su mal winrate actualmente, pero en sus primeras partidas con este deck retomé el camino del triunfo. Además de que adicioné 14 cartas nuevas de ToF a mi colección, a pesar de que ninguna fue la gran cosa.

Conclusiones

Este WR me deja un poco preocupado, a decir verdad. Después de las 18 primeras partidas, empecé mi faena por las 30 victorias. No obstante, en ese camino caí en una mala racha tras otras entre varios días y descendí hasta Auric Gold, donde permanezco al momento de escribir esto. Ninguno de mis mazos ha tenido la respuesta deseada y ya he comenzado a plantearme seriamente el intenar con otro arquetipo. Mi misión es regresar a Mythic antes del fin de semana.

Recompensas

Como mencioné un par de párrafos atrás, en los packs no hubo gran cosas. A pesar de que gané cuatro packs Fate y dos Fate Super, las cartas que me tocaron fueron, cuando menos, modestas. Aún así, creo que todo suma en estos momentos.

The second Weekend Ranked in the "race" for the Tides of Fate packs is over, and the main feeling it left me with is that the competition is fierce. However, fortunately, in terms of performance and results this one was almost a carbon copy for me. Although a little late, this is the balance of my WR: I kept my streak of last week, with the same deck and, without shame or glory, ended my participation with nine wins, having started in Mythic..

In terms of results, the most relevant difference was that, in the following days, I took the time to play the necessary matches to add 30 wins and thus secure a regular pack (which translates into two more cards), to end up with a total of six in the bag.

The deck

This time I chose to use two decks.Mainly after a string of defeats with my always faithful aggro light, which in principle responded as it should, and between ups and downs I kept it for the first eight matches.

About this deck, again, the outstanding performance was taken by Madame Denholm To You, a creature that, after accumulating more than 100 games using it, I can say that for this archetype it is exceptional. This is also the case of Aggressive Superior, which was probably the creature with which I finished the most games. I never tire of confirming that it is the finisher that could have an aggro light. With a much higher impact on the table than its similar ones, even above Asterius, Glittering One.

However, due to the large number of different archetypes I faced, which resulted in some alarming defeats, I decided to finish my last 10 matches with a magic deck.

With this *midrange magic" (according to GUDecks' definition, although I think it qualifies better as a control deck) I saved my last matches and closed another WR with results that, although they are not exceptional, are enough for me for now. Plus I added 14 new ToF cards to my collection, even though none of them were a big deal.

Conclusions

This WR leaves me a bit worried, to tell the truth. After the first 18 matches, I started my quest for 30 wins. However, along the way I fell into one bad streak after another between several days and dropped to Auric Gold, where I remain at the time of this writing. None of my decks have had the desired response and I have already begun to seriously consider trying another archetype. My mission is to return to Mythic before the weekend.

Rewards

As I mentioned a couple of paragraphs back, in the packs there wasn't much in the way of goodies. Although I won four Fate and two Fate Super packs, the cards I got were modest to say the least. Still, I think it all adds up these days.

I am also doing this, whenever I am alarmed about my defeats I will take a break then I will look at my deck, and make some adjustments then I will play again.
