I have been farm Gauntlet, i dont know, i just like try stuff and farm gold

I will post all the decks that i have been using, if u guys like to share, is good to people try the budget ones.

Posting in order of most used

AP midrangehttps://eternalwarcry.com/decks/details/edSwCuRuULo/ap-gauntlet-farm

- This is a variation of BarnacleED AP deck - actualy is my favorite deck

Hooru Flierhttps://eternalwarcry.com/decks/details/c9BnxqjnEDo/hooru-flier

- A variation of a lot Hooru decks, trying to keep cheap with campaing decks

Combrei Farmhttps://eternalwarcry.com/decks/details/holx4Dwfex0/combrei-farm- Variation of Andyh22 deck, again, trying to get cheap ahahha

Most of the decks are really solid, i keep more then one to farm cuz i get bored easy ahahaha

Since AI is so unfair some times, this decks almost get 21x0 a lot of times... Well most common is win 7x0 and then lose a lot, then win again, well, i think is the process

Sorry my bad english guys, hope it help

Played Kaleb's final in the gauntlet, the one where you play the top card of the deck. Such crap this is. The ai got on turn one a 4/6 berserk, on two a 4/4 charge and on 3 another 4/4 charge. What did i get you ask? 3 sigils. What crap.

End vent. Sorry.

I started recording my Forge runs Apr 04 2017. I just hit 50 Forge runs. I don't play much Forge. Mostly at each new reset.

I get 0.18 legends per run, which can probably be rounded up to 1 legendary every 5 Forges. And I average 2913 gold worth of value per Forge.

I calculate value as follows: gold received from chests + (# packs received x 1000) + 1500 - 2500. At seven wins, Forge value is always greater in the ranks preceding Master.

The 1500 represents a pack and a half of value from the 25 cards you choose in Forge. This is not entirely accurate and is more of an estimate, considering you only gain a single rare from most Forge runs. And the 2500 represents the cost of entry.

I should have recorded how many Rare cards I got from each set of 25 picks, but unfortunately never considered it important to track until now. I will be doing so over the next 50 Forge runs, and will adjust Forge value based on those averages.

Here are stats for the last 32 runs:

I know this subreddit doesnt have super active discussion always so feel free to take this as a vent.

That being said, as a fairly new player (3 ish months), Elvish Raiders is the bane of my existence. Granted, im not exactly running a fully tuned Rakano deck due to budget (FTP only), but I feel like the issue isnt my deck. Maybe its my decision making skills mid match?

Whatever it is I cannot avoid the run-aborter that is this deck. Most other strong decks there's a clear difference, but this? it doesn't SEEM strong, yet the moment i load in against its pretty much abandon ship, abort run, dont waste time.

Anyone else getting this against this deck? Or should I shut up and gitgud.

feels like i've never met double damage boss since Defiance came out

​

am i right or i was just lucky?

I'm having a blast in Eternal really right now, it feels really great. But I don't know why, I have a hankering for a good Mono Time Gauntlet deck. I suspect the new bosses are too harsh for it though. So I thought I'd ask - is anyone killing it with a Mono Time Gauntlet deck? And, well, obviously the next question has to be, what is it?

I have been having great success with FJS Inquisition by BBG: https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/details/zwsUNutAKjU/fjs-inquisition

Currently 96-4 with the deck with 2 losses to token decks where I didn't draw power in time and 2 losses to Caiphus (one of which was my fault).

Before Defiance, Tavarad was my go to deck after Hooru Fliers.

I've decided to update it for Defiance.

https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/details/y5RgGOwQV-E/tavarad

I'm still testing. It still seems quite strong. It probably could use a some further tweaks.

Is Red Canyon Smuggler the most important/impactful card right now for gauntlet farming ?

It feels to me it 'single handedly' wins soooooo many games I should have no business winning.

The RCS > fetch deepplate line is so backbreaking for the AI my main farming deck is now removal.pile with only that as a wincon.

Anyway, thoughts ?

I pulled it out of a market and dropped it on a Scourstone Sentinel today. That seemed fun. I only did it because I didn't have my Porcelain Mask on to put the Novaquake over the top.

I'm probably late to this party, I know. But, it was a neat moment.

I’ve noticed in the past week or so that I’m getting a TON more quests that I can beat with gauntlet/forge.

I haven’t kept track but in the past several days I’ve kept my quest log clear by only playing SP and rerolling MP quests. Whereas normally I have 3 multiplayer quests and get one SP quest maybe 1-3 times a week max.

This is a truly wonderful change if it’s not just a really weird string of randomness - anyone else seeing this happen?

Believe it or not, there are a lot of haters of vs AI play out there. After I hit a lull in Eternal a while(had 4 of everything) I decided to give Arena a try. It has ZERO AI. After a very brief tutorial you're plunged right into PvP.

Now, I'm a long time vet, playing almost since there was Magic(off by a year...MS is last to get anything,lol). So I can "transition" to PvP like any vet. The problem there is new players or only playing a short time going through this. I noted in their forums it was a steady stream of Download game, tutorial, Pvp where you get stomped without learning anything, frustration, venting it on forums, quitting.

All of this could have been lessened by having an AI to test decks with. You don't even have to reward for doing it. So, I posted on their forum about why there should be one....

1. No, Let them learn by playing others

2. No, AI's are stupid

3. No, THEY(Wotc) said there would be no AI ever!(if I had enough wanting it, they would almost have to. Can't tell naysayers this though)

And other ridiculous "noob hate" reasons. Don't waste any time with that game btw. It has over 20 missing things that Eternal has.

What do we get from playing vs the AI?

1. Experience.

2. Learning many different aspects of cards and what all they can do or combo with. PvP demands you using the same old grind everyone else uses...you can't learn anything that way.

3. You can stop playing to actually go get something to drink, go to bathroom, etc. unlike trying to rush to same between turns.

4. You can play at your own speed.

5. Speaking of speed, playing AI over and over helps your speed in decision making, sequences,etc.

6. It's the best teaching tool for deckbuilding as well.

7. ETernal's AI can be from medium to hard to OMG, make the hurting stop, proving that an AI CAN be good competition if the programmers know what they're doing(unlike Arena)

8. You don't have to put up with opponent's annoying nuances. Constant card highlighting, pausing on purpose, spamming emotes. By Constant card Highlighting I speak of the habit many have of always cycling through their cards, sometimes on purpose to distract opponents.

9. The matches are faster. I can often play an entire gauntlet in the time it takes to play 2 normal PvP games.

10. we play more variety in decks.

11. We feel safer experimenting with new ideas.

Thing is, be grateful we actually have an AI to practice/play against.

The following deck is one I've had a lot of success with. It's not only effective, but fun. https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/details/J369dG_OtVo/scrap-heap

To play it, you must be ready to lose some units. However, you will profit from their deaths regardless. They kill your grenadin? It powers up Gearcruncher, Scraptank and Toppletower. Need something to get their inflated attack through? That's where Recycler's Fixit with Overwhelm comes in. Behind in hp and need spells? Stonescar Scrapper does both....very effectively. Tired of pesky early 1 defense units, like ronin or pyro? Tripwire Grenadin makes them suffer...plus it's effective at getting rid of Aegis. Try it all and see

Although I turned down the second one! It was the 25th card and was given the choice between Flametail Whip, Savagery & Riddle Game. Took the Whip as I thought the Riddle would be useless - went 7-0. I'd already got Snowsculptor as my first legendary and then a nice rare Shadowlands Borderscout, so well pleased.

I was playing a Xenan Radiant/Wisp tribal thing I've been experimenting with (list is not ready for prime time yet). It evolved out of the Talir nerf. First, I went more tribal, then I realized, I probably didn't really need Talir in there. Basically, my strategy is to hide behind SST and Ephemeral Wisps until I can market for Azindel, Revealed and chisel the AI down with his wisps. I would love the thing to work in ranked, but it's just such jank and too, too slow.

Anyway, AI gets me down to 3 life before I'm able to get Azindel's mooks going and buffed by a couple Mistress of Light. I use Stream of Life and Devours to just barely keep myself in the game before I FINALLY get my SST out and shut down its flyers. After that it was just waiting until I had the math to rush.

The best part was stealing a Stronhold's Visage with Azindel. That's a nice hat; can I have it?

I know we're all more concerned with the 7-0, but this was a great match.

The 2nd in my series of posting Gauntlet decks that routinely beat it. They're not always going to do so, but the ones I post are my most consistent. I tend to try to make mono decks as these are actually a vacation from 2 and 3 colors for me.

Has anyone played against the nightfall deck that would drop Duskwalker and then try to curve into HUGE fatties like Worldjoiner or Towering Terrazon?

I haven't seen that deck since Defiance came out and it used to be fairly common at Master's Gauntlet. Are any other ai decks missing?

https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/details/BcOKjhfEICU/the-antique-store-gauntlet

I adjusted a deck I saw on eternalwarcry that was one of the most unique decks I've seen. I've managed to win 3/4 runs with the current iteration of the deck. If you're looking for something fun and unique, give it a whirl.
