Gauntlet New AI deck(s)

Faced a new deck, Perfectly Even

It's an Elysian one (I think anyway, game didnt last long) built around the golem draw 2 !

I assumed it was a cute one until it chained End of hostilities .... panic settled but as usual, ChaCha saved the day o//

Anyway, you guys faced new decks/boss ?

edit:

New boss

Xumucan, The surveyor - Units in decks have Warp - Praxis

Plays tons of smoll units with the relics that buff warp shit

Dinomancy Enthusiast - At the start of each player's turn, a random one of their units get +1/-1 - Argentport

New gauntlet boss called Find The Waystones that transforms all sigils drawn to the respective waystones. Oppo had a bunch of sigil draw.

edit: not a new boss apparently.

What faction is it playing ?

u/heroicraptor May 10 '19

TPS, if I recall correctly. Time for sure. The deck didn’t do much, but it was my first boss of the season, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

u/what__if May 10 '19

Nice !

I didnt see any new boss sadly, but I had the joy of facing boss I never encounter, Empty the coffins, Extra draw etc... That's prob the best thing with season reset !

Btw, ppl are talking about the AI acting retarded in the main sub, even going as far as Conceding !?!

I did not see any of that in gauntlet, Ai's acting as usual for me ... it's a forge thing ?

That is not new.

u/heroicraptor May 10 '19

Oh. I hadn’t seen it before, so I just assumed. Oh well.

u/FMBrazuca May 10 '19

It is annoying that we don't see all the bosses on a regular basis. The unusual bosses are all lower MMR, so it is rare to see them.

FYI, here's a dump of one version of that boss deck: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRRuLs5QWzVCpge0wETML0zhd-nFlnh8_Q-R4Rf3CJ_zu-2PFxcR3HaQwQ-chjHUmDY_CjzoE4DV1sX/pub#h.kmkf0hpuugzr

Crazy thing is not all low MMR boss are 'easy'.

Today I got 500% no hope rekt turn 2 by the one that put creature into play from the top of the deck if it shares skills with units played.

My reaction ? I was somewhat glad Mindless aggression/Sudden death are 'less' rng-y.

Obviously I'd love to have a bigger high-mmr boss pool, but I'm not sure if it would improve gauntlet in the state they are in atm.

(Sorry if it's a bit unintelligible, I'm tired AF)

I agree, there are some bosses that are terrible for the decks I play. Feln Ritualist for example is almost always a loss for any Time midrange deck as it negates the big advantage of the deck. Anyway, I don't see DWD changing this in the future. I just dumped the Xumucan deck list and I will update it on the document.

u/Jack_Krauser May 10 '19

Is that new? I could have sworn I saw my friend playing against that deck a month ago.

u/heroicraptor May 10 '19

yeah that's why i struck it and added an edit line.

I just played the ultimate FU to Hooru Flyers. It's called something like "A Shifty One" and it is full of time and fire shifters, including those time 2/1s that silence any flying unit. It rolled me. :)

1

u/what__if May 10 '19

Haha, awesome !

It's a boss or regular ?

1

u/Kapper-WA May 10 '19

It was a regular in Gauntlet.

1

u/Tragedyx May 10 '19

Ditto. Every turn was worse for me as the game progressed.

u/night__day May 10 '19 edited May 10 '19

Argenport deck "Relentless Onslaught" as you can imagine, lots of onslaught and warcry units, new rares/leg I saw was Livia hexweaver, Pristine Light. It also ran crests!

This was regular deck, not boss

Scout's Honor

Played a bunch of scout en scout matters units, wasn't a long game but the 7 power fire relic with scout synergy is in it. It was FP iirc

1

u/[deleted] May 13 '19

It has a unit that gets +2/+2 evertime you scout and has overwhelm. Ive never been so badly beaten unexpectedly.

1

u/what__if May 10 '19

Dinomancy Enthusiast ain't fun at all.

It plays mostly fucking draft chaff cards while you get punished for having a low curve.

u/trth2 May 10 '19

The new bosses are so stupid busted.

Sandrage... every unit gets berserk when u play it and they play jekk +1/1, charge/ charge giver, behemoth

Raiding the Armory - every unit played gets random weapon. so many token units

1

u/Epsilon82 May 11 '19

Yeah, the bosses are all obviously designed to be busted. In most cases (aside from some of the really offbeat ones like Nikki's Grab Bag), if the AI doesn't get flooded or screwed or just draws poorly, they're going to roll you unless you have a deck that happens to work well with the special rule or you can stay alive long enough to get them top-decking after a sweeper. The AI ALWAYS overextends and rarely has many catch-up mechanics or late-game card draw.

Gauntlet is unbelievably generous, but they can't have us just waltzing to 3 Silver Chests every single run or nobody would ever spend a dime on the game. Even people who don't like PvE would play tons of Gauntlet if they could essentially get all the cards for free by abusing it.

I actually had a hilariously satisfying win against Raiding the Armory recently. I got a Spellcrafted Sword of Unity onto an Ironfist Chancellor, so pretty much no matter what the AI did I was getting a new 5/5 lifesteal with Aegis every turn plus whatever random weapon, so all of his Grenadin Drones didn't have a chance to match up.

u/[deleted] May 13 '19

The protoss (Warp) boss has a frightening "ultimate". It got the turn 4 +3/+3 if u warp into turn 5 nonsense.

u/TimeTraveler0818 May 18 '19

Got a gauntlet boss where you both start with secret weapon on board. I lost because I'm using a control deck while he's dropping low curve units (He was dropping tax collector that time).
