I managed a 77% winrate from 3750 - 4250. Just metagame and it's really not that hard. 70% of my matches were against Monsters, so I played NR Bloody Baron Control the whole way up, and kept an 84% winrate against monsters.

I started out with Reveal NG this patch, tried almost all variations of it, fire scorpions vs mangonels, 1-3 foot soldiers vs NG knights, letho/DBomb package etc. Didn't get much higher than 3700 with it.

Switched to Dagon and hit 4160 in 1 day, getting a 14 game win streak along the way.

Dagon is way too strong for how easy it is to play. Onwards to rank 20.

Is the top Dagon deck the one running potion/commander's horn now? I've been running a hybrid consume version and it seems a bit worse against this.

Yeah midrange dagon with Crones as a finisher and Horn/Potions/...

CaptainTsech or whatever his name is got #1 with it for days and made a reddit post, I copied it completely and just started winning xD

Vs unseen elder consume it's a rather easy matchup unless the mulligan screws my crones. Round 3 they can play Grave hag if they like, I still have more value. Lacerate kills their Arachas in the earlier rounds. Caranthir or Frightener moves a Vran warrior, lots of answers.

There are multiple Dagon lists. He's strong enough that you can run basically any mixture and be good with it. The pure consume lists are pretty bad against bloody baron but bloody baron is hot garbage against mostly anything non-monster so it's a meta call what to run.

Got to 4000 with under 100 games played (79-18), still running into a pretty diverse number of factions. The games are becoming much closer now, usually winning round 3 with less than 10 points.

Yeah the meta actually starts to expand again around 4.2k. SK is the new flavor of the month, plus plenty of monsters, with the odd metadeck NR or ST trying to poach specific matchups.

SK is the deck running Cerys discard right? I don't recall having much trouble dealing with them. Maybe the players I faced are just bad.

Tried playing the discard deck but having trouble maintaining over 50÷ wr with it.

My consume monster deck seems most reliable for now.

There's two variants. The ones running queensguard and the ones without queenguard but Cerys. The latter is far more consistent and less susceptible to hate. It's just a stronger deck. I don't think it's the best deck currently but it offers a lot that good players want due to it's ability to go through the whole deck and resilience to poor mulls.

not impressed by the queenguardless disco personally, though that could just be dagon being a god against them given that they only run one weather clear usually in greboi.

That said the versions with QG aren't faring much better so /shrug

The version without QG is definitely better, it's the only one I encounter at 4.2K. It's a strong deck. Amazing finishers in round 3, and lots of tools to win round 1/2 with. With Dagon I think I'm 60/40 against it. In round 3 my Crones finisher + some carry-over from round 2 is usually just enough to win. Though if they've played it right they'll get Cerys + 1/3 strength from Priestess/Sig (or both if they discarded priestess) + ~17 strength from Skirmisher + whatever carryover was left from Mork and Olgierd...

Climbed to 4248 but lost the game that would make me rank 20, try again tonight xD.

It's definitely a deck that's better against the decks dagon suffers against imo. Dagon is just a powerhouse of a leader and faction though. QG disco gets even more rekt by dagon since you can tech so much GY hate. I struggle to recall a time that Dagon/Monsters weren't towards the top.

Dagon is by far the safest choice if you just want to climb. No really terrible match ups (outside possibly Radovid control) and it has a large number of interactive and skillful elements.

Indeed. And with Bran being the most popular, it's even better, since Bran counters Radovid so there's less of that to counter Dagon.

Huge winstreak yesterday so I got my rank 20. Now I'm top 1000 on the leaderboards and ladder fear is suddenly very real lol. Wish the season would end today.

There are no special rewards for being top 1000 right? I can't believe to earn the last 2 portraits you have to be 4500+.

I just wish they buff Nilfgaard slightly as it's by far my favourite faction. I made it to rank 20, but now slipped back to 4.1k and it's really difficult to climb back. All I'm facing are Dagon and Bran decks.

So there's a new ladder next season if you hit rank 20(or above) or you end season 4200 (or above). This is in addition to the current ladder and will be locked out if you don't get it until the following season. Season ends 27th August.

Also a Nilfgaard main that's been struggling around 4100. Don't know if I should just bite the bullet to make the push to rank 20

I played NG to 3700 and then switched to Dagon. Would recommend doing the same to hit 4200. Dagon is both stronger and easier to play.
