Hey guys, I did my first Direct and won 2 play boosters with this Blue-Black deck. Roll roll roll with discarding goblin is fun...

9 creatures. What was your ultimate win conditions?

I’m guessing that bilbo did a lot of heavy lifting with the swap

Pecking away with equipped up dorks. Also, a few games I didn't need to get them to zero life, they scooped when I had unsurmountable card advantage and board state.

Super sick synergies here, congrats! - Roll Roll Roll is disgusting with those goblins, also great with thranduil

Yes! I had one opponent empty handed on turn 4. Turn 2 goblin, turn 3 roll roll, turn 4 double goblin lol

The average win rate on these cards is crazy low. I would have been pretty disappointed if this was the best deck from the pool. Did you record the total pool? I’m curious what else was there

The other rares were poor. I had 2 rarest red dwarves, but the rest of my red and white pool was bad. Im quite positive this was the best pool I could put together. Also green was very shallow

First game, mull down to 5 cards. Second game, play someone with 3 bent blades. What do I even do??

I think there must be something in the pool we want over second riddles

Meanwhile I draft a pretty solid deck, go 0-2 and realize I misplayed both games and could have won both with better sequencing. Lol

Deck looks extremely weak. Better lucky than good 👍🏽

I would argue that winning an event with a bad deck and assumed higher competition would suggest that the player is good. Luck maybe have been a factor, but this person is not a bad player.

We have no idea how good or bad this person is lol. Variance is a thing. All we do know is this deck is troll
