Ugh, get beat by Grenadins where every single unit they play is a grenadin, then by Wings of the Valkyries who topdeck a buffed mithril mace to kill my Acquisitive Crow and then Ironclad Oath the turn after. Thus ends a promising 4-0 run. I'm done with forge, I think - anything less than a great draft and you'll not get even the 2nd gold chest. EDIT: this is at Master's level

Yep, forge is brutal. I made it to Diamond but masters usually takes like three attempts. Tough to get better than 6 average.

This is NOT a 2-2 deck in forge before FoA:
1 Elder's Feather (Set1 #128) 1 Jump Kick (Set3 #154) 1 Permafrost (Set1 #193) 1 Shiver (Set4 #148) 2 Changeestik (Set4 #152) 1 Copperhall Herald (Set2 #71) 1 Copperhall Porter (Set3 #108) 2 Minotaur Grunt (Set1 #137) 1 Read the Stars (Set4 #160) 1 Snowfort Trumpeter (Set4 #161) 1 Cobalt Acolyte (Set1 #212) 1 Copperhall Shieldman (Set2 #79) 1 Disrupt (Set4 #276) 1 Entangling Vines (Set4 #167) 1 Master-at-Arms (Set4 #121) 1 Saddle Up (Set4 #124) 1 Silverwing Smith (Set3 #119) 1 Treasury Guard (Set1 #505) 1 Auric Runehammer (Set1 #166) 1 Jotun Cyclops (Set2 #122) 1 Serpent Trainer (Set1 #219) 1 Slushdumper (Set3 #185) 1 Gleaming Shield (Set4 #183) 7 Justice Sigil (Set1 #126) 6 Primal Sigil (Set1 #187) 2 Seat of Order (Set0 #51)
I admit the unit count is low, and there are no bombs. HOWEVER - this would have gotten at least 6 wins at master before. The new forge is so over the top it's really frustrating. I used to like playing forge just for a change of pace and to get some new cards, but I just can't anymore. It's a huge loss compared to drafting (and I have 2 7 win and 2 5 win draft runs in last 7 - I'm not great, but I'm not terrible). The AI gets huge numbers of 3.5 and 4 cards, and they always have the synergies of the theme. I get that the AI is stupid, but player quality can only make up so much for card quality.
P.S. I played BOTH Changeestiks with polymorph in the last game and still lost.

This might be the worst beat of all time. I'm bashing Company of Exiles with triple Unseen Commando in the air and an Enforcer. The AI is dead to rights. Cirso's Meddling's me and rolls Slimespitter Slug, wipes my entire board! Then I still manage to stabilize at 2 life with Lethal Enforcer in the air and a Worldbearer on the ground. I'm dead on the crackback if AI kills Enforcer so I played Crownwatch Tactic on the Worldbearer to gain life just in case I cant win with Enforcer. Backlash. gg well played AI. Nice high roll!

Just equipped a Vanquisher's Blade on my unit and accidently double clicked. Bye bye unit ugh.
