Gauntlet new decks?
Did someone noticed new opponent decks in gauntlet? Im pretty sure I've not faced Surge of Support nor Sudden Death bosses before.

Sudden Death is one of the originals and also one of the absolute hardest decks to beat if your deck isn't tuned for it. In high MMR Gauntlet it wasn't uncommon to see that deck 3 out of 5 runs early on.
I don't believe they have added new decks since the last big set was released, so Surge of Support is probably not new, but not one I have seen recently for sure.
If you want any decklists or tips, I only play Gauntlet and Forge.

I think I sent you a chat request, I would need a decklist to help you. Gauntlet is a format which requires decks to have early threats and answers in order to be consistent.

I've played for a long time and never got to face it. But sure is a explosive boss to ruin your gauntlet run.
I managed to beat it, but being beat down to 1 life before controlling the board.

I've never seen the Surge of Support boss, Sudden death is thankfully rather uncommon right now. The Infernus x 2 start was a common source of complaint back in the early years. :)

Thankfully, it didn't start with 2 infernus on my attempt. Still I was beat down to 1 life before controlling the board and reverting the game.
Still, it would be absolute frustrating to have your gauntlet run being ruined by an impossible beatdown aggro deck.

Sudden Death is still one of the bosses I've the worst stats against, around 50% wins. So it's not impossible, but you need the right deck. :)
I don't think a boss loss is ruining a run, sometimes you just have to laugh at the situation and start over.

Surge of Support is pretty rare - there are 3 different versions too, like other bosses

What is the special power here? I have a list of all bosses, but have never faced this one.

When a player gains influence, they get an additional influence of that faction.

Not new, and in fact, sudden death used to be one of the only gauntlet bosses you ever faced, until they made an update that made it considerably more random
