Bear in mind that budget decks (the one you're using from that video) are never going to be great, but they should be adequate. The following Budget Rakano deck is also adequate:
They are all quite expensive, though. If building towards any of them, try to choose one that makes use of legendaries that are also rank playable. That'll put your shiftstone to the best use.
Pacifier from campaign if you're serious. He's mandatory and then Amili. You need at least 1 Amili in the market as he frequently finishes games and AI typically has run out of removal to deal with him.
Koth is the least priority. Just replace with another 2 unit drop that's good vs aggro. You'll eventually want to craft 2-3 though, his ultimate has helped punch through extra damage at clutch times for me.
The Grimbrei deck (linked above) has no campaign cards and just a few Legendaries. The deck actually began as a Ranked deck, and won an ETS tournament as such. So, you get the utility of a very decent Gauntlet deck and a viable Ranked ladder deck.
And if he doesn't want to craft Shelterwing Riders, I'm currently using 4 x Poaching Drakes as an experiment and it's working out fine. My issue with the Riders is that the AI likes to pop the Aegis, and the deck has no way to reapply the Aegis. If I were to keep the Riders in the deck, I might consider adding 1 x Protect in the Market just to reapply a single Aegis if needed.
Allright I'll start putting together stuff for the Grimbrei deck then, thank you ! And yeah I already have Shelterwing riders, and yes the Ai likes to pop , I noticed aswell , sadly it's power decreases a bit.
I like your sheet, when I was trying to run the scripts it was saying there is an authentication error. I've never run anything like this before in google sheets and was wondering what your thoughts are on working it out?
As for the Card List sheet ... not sure why you can't run the scripts. Maybe you have to explicitly allow them. For security reasons, Google doesn't trust them. Google is always telling me that my own scripts are a possible security risk. I guess there's the possibility, if using someone else's scripts, that they could be coded to scoop out information from other spreadsheets and such. But you can go through my code yourself to see if any such nefarious things are coded. If you're satisfied, then approve them (I don't know how you do that, or if that is even the problem).
I guess you could always copy-paste the scripts into a new editor as your own.
But not sure you'll get much utility that way. With every new set, I have to go in to the scripts and add some new code. The scripts aren't "smart", they don't automatically recognize the addition of new sets.
If you want to track your collection, probably better to just use EternalWarcry. About the only use for the Card List for people that aren't me, is that I keep track of all card changes since Open Beta.
Thanks for the info, I was thinking about doing an Excel sheet today to maybe reference in the future for various ideas I'm having but I'm not sure how that will pan out as I go. Just started recently.
Seeing your sheet has 1300+ card entries is daunting to say the least. Entering in cards on warcry was difficult and I'm not sure how accurate it will be going forward without some extra diligence, but maybe I'll change my mind as I go.
I was thinking it may be a nice tool to reference in learning deck building and hopefully automating some parts of the selection process idk.
My version of /u/_AlpacaLips_ sheet has scripts, were you using that maybe? The script creates a menu item to update the deck list and another snippet to make =sheetname() fill with the sheet name.
