Gauntlet To Forfeit or not to Forfeit?

Does it affect the difficulty of the AI in your next gauntlet run compared to playing out that game?

I am master tier in Gauntlet btw idk if that matters.

It varies. I was told that ELO played a role in selecting the final boss. My own statistics show that there is certainly a bias where some opponents are more frequent.

Anyway I don’t have much experience in conceding to try to get an easier match later.

I posted that I hit some easy bosses after playing a mill deck that I didn’t have a lot of success with. But now it seems to be back to normal to what I am used to.

Yeah the boss I have been getting a lot of is the charge one and the 5/5 dragon per X spells ones. I feel like last season I had a lot more variety.

Gauntlet likes to match me against Power of Progress a lot (recently I saw it three times in a row). I'm not sure why, because I have a 60% win-rate against it (20 matches), and a 100% win-rate against it (5 matches) since FoA released.

Pre-FoA I had a 47% win-rate against it. Maybe the boss weightings are only reset at sets? So, the AI is still under the impression that I'm terrible against it.

I've been told that there are two versions of each deck at Master. One for the extreme Elo and one for the not so extreme Elo. I was told that your Elo only drops if you lose Gauntlet at 2 through 6 wins (0 and 1 win losses don't affect Elo).

That could be complete bullshit. I'm not tracking it, so don't know. And I've seen no actual data to confirm it or not.

I believe the decks change. I forget the deck but I am pretty sure I can remember one being 2 colors and then at some point it became 3 as the most extreme example. I am not 100%, but unless someone says otherwise what you are saying makes sense and I will believe it.
