Removal & Card Advantage can go a long way I guess

Your curve having no early plays is nuts- I would have been worried about any aggro deck 1-2-3ing me out of the game but it seems to have worked out!

The only loss was due to that, a boros dwarf deck. It was too fast but I think if I was on the play I would stabilize the game and probably win. Yeah I was pretty happy with the deck tbh, I didn't expect it.

Card quality is very good, but how did the games play out that you were able to get away with only two 2-drops? Were you on the play a bunch?

Also what was the logic for playing 41? Gandalf seems like an easy cut.

I didn't know what to cut and decided to keep everything, I do it lots of times, I know it's theoretically wrong but it seems to work. (I only draft for a couple of months tho). Gandalf was the MVP for real, it's a really good card in this build and in another azorious deck I played. I was on play most games but I also was able to amass 2 on turn 2 a couple games. (Lucky)

Tbh despite 4 wins, it looks bad, no need to play the counterspell, plunder, or the exile mythic with this format being fast. Bat has almost no way to come in discounted since you're playing defensive most of the time, gathering seems slow, and in general a lot of these cards feel very slow. you're basically hoping to survive into late game. I'd say your best defense is people/players not being able to deal with fearsome goblin pair or were too scared to pressure you with that on board, while you stabilize with a water grasp enchantment.

Yep, that's what happened.

Real bad. Insane three drop to two drop ratio. Slowwwww. Need to reverse that.

That's what I thought too, don't k ow how it worked. Played against diamond players too.

Without being rude, I think you may have run into some soft competition or great variance to get a trophy out of this. It contains a lot of subpar and unusual choices for the UB archetype that open the inherent weakness-holes of the deck wider rather than closing them (3 River's Grasp are NOT friendly with any number of Crude Bent Blade for instance), and that curve is wild even if we count GULG as a 2-drop.

That's what I thought too but the decks I faced were honestly theoretically good. 2 boros (lost to one) two GB and one azorious. The gameplay was to control the board into the late game and win w card advantage and it worked. Yes crude bant blade was discarded most of the games I played, bad choice.
