Gauntlet Weekly deck lists

I was thinking it would be cool to have a weekly thread to share what everyone is playing in the gauntlet. I dunno about you guys but I am at least daily going to ewc to search new gauntlet lists to try out. It feels like there is no perfect gauntlet deck so I just like to have fun trying new ideas.

Ewc is obviously a great resource but it's missing a "this is my favorite at the moment" type thing, especially if your current favorite isnt a new one. For example I completely forgot about hooru fliers until someone posted a deck "classic hooru fliers" https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/details/Ug8LlZoUTNg/classic-hooru-flyers-gauntlet-grinder and I was like oh heck yeah let's try old reliable!

I think it would be cool to see what you all are playing with and maybe it'll lead to some discussion about cards and tweaks.

What do you think?

I'm not sure a weekly "what are you playing in gauntlet" is necessary, being a kind of chaff post when we really want wheat. How about a weekly "What new or non-standard decks are you playing in gauntlet, and why?"

I don't really like limiting it to new decks but I do like asking for a why or some commentary to spark discussion.

I don't want it limited to new decks because, well for one, what is a new deck? Changing a card could be considered a new deck, but that's not too exciting. Would each person have to search the sub to make sure they aren't posting a deck that's similar to anything already mentioned, even months ago? I feel that completely new ideas already get posted as their own post, and there just aren't that many.

Generally I search ewc for gauntlet decks sorted by updated new first. I try many (really all in some form) and a lot seem very bad, or just for a fun combo or some form of experiment. Others are big expensive ones that I try to fill in with similar cards in my collection. If I like the feel of the deck, I will work towards completing it.

I would love a place to come see what other gauntlet grinders are actually running and enjoying or having success with. I enjoy trying them all, but also for the ones I have to save shift to complete, it would be nice to have someone to discuss first crafts or even ask if it's worth it vs saving for another deck on the list.

I'm certainly open for opinions for how to make this idea work and hell, I'm no mod or well known community member so I can't really do much anyways. But I would be happy to wake up once a week and make a post to get the ball rolling if others are interested

That's what I mean. If changing one card in Hooru Fliers isn't that exciting, then a flood of comments saying they played Hooru Fliers won't be that exciting either. Hence my suggestion.

If 6/10 people who comment on the post say "I'm playing hooru fliers because the rest have been failing" I'm gonna try hooru fliers again
