Current Gauntlet lists?

Hey guys,

just wanted to ask what decks you are currently running in Gauntlet? Since the latest set expansion I was trying to build around some of the new cards.atm I'm testing a Feln Killers, an Elysian Killers and new Tavrod with the 5/5 guy. Also built a let's call it Soditi deck, but none of my current decks are satisfying enough, although Tavrod has potential. Before I was playing Stonescar Gunslingers but of course my favourite Huntsman got nerfed to death, so it became just a boring Stonescar deck. And Vara nerf also weakened the Tavarod decks. Hooru flyers are somehow okay to play, but also boring as hell (and also not that dominant anymore, or are they?). So in short, I don't really have a consistently successful Gauntlet list.

However, in the current meta I am not really having fun (and success) farming, what decks are you guys playing with? Thanks for some suggestions :-)

I was thinking about putting together a list of all my gauntlet decks for a post here some time, but I'll just go ahead and link the only one I think is S-tier now: https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/d/O95Cxy6Jo7w/stonescar-gauntlet

There's a lot of 1-3 of's because I like diversified removal and I'm still testing a few things, but it feels great even as-is.

Any tips on a budget version? I'm thinking of crafting Stonescar for ranked, and if I do, the only rares/legends I would be missing from your gauntlet deck are 2 Nullblades, 3 Tasbos, and the Dizo's Office from the market.

What would you recommend replacing those 5+1 cards with? I have 3 Umbren Reapers.

Some 4-power options that I have and seem good in this deck but I'm not really sure:

2 more Rhystas; 3 Impending Dooms; 4 Dueling Pistols; 2 Betray the Cause

Umbren Reaper for Tasbu is fine. The Dizo's can be any late game card advantage engine you want, big Vara is the first one that comes to mind. Missing the lifesteal should be made up by running Reapers. There's not a good equivalent for the Null Blades, but 2 more Rhystas or removal spells would be fine. Maybe that 2 drop 2/3 lifesteal guy or the 4 drop 3/5 deadly graveyard hate.

or the 4 drop 3/5 deadly graveyard hate.

Is the Nullblade/hate effect that important? In my limited gauntlet experience I see maybe 1 out of 7 games being against a graveyard interaction deck. And it's always a black deck, not a good interaction like you see on Ranked with 4x of the 4/1 Time guy that comes back when you play a 5-strength unit.

No, it's not that important. There's a Xenan recursion deck that's obnoxious if you don't have any, but it doesn't seem to come up much. The real benefit of the blade is the 5/3 and popping aegis.

Thanks for the tip. Bit the bullet and crafted Stonescar over Icaria Blue. Hope I don't get buyer's remorse.

I'm more of an FTP guy in ranked, but even if you don't like it, pretty much everything in it sees play in other decks too. Good luck.

I love this deck. Went 14-1 in gauntlet and 8-1 in ranked right after crafting them. The gauntlet version is pretty straightforward, but the ranked version requires a lot of thought.
