Greetings!

Coming into this game, my goal is to win 3 games as fast as possible. But then my plan immediately seemed to take a hiccup when I was matched up against Dragon War in the first match. The match lasted for 8:53, just seven seconds shy of nine minutes (a rarity between two War decks).

In the second match, I was matched up against Blade of the Creator. Blade of the Creator is an annoying deck to deal with. But a War deck does have a little chance if it can finish the game as fast as possible. Traditionally, any of my War deck variants have a low win percentage against any Blade of the Creator deck variants. But it seemed to change, now.

And guess what, in the third match I was matched up against another dreaded deck, LiTD Coronet. Using War, my only chance is to pray for my opponent not to immediately draw LiTD and to finish the match as fast as possible. It is a good thing that I was able to chip my opponent's god HP and kill most of the creatures of my opponent on the deck.

Five Greyscale with frontline seemed to be insurmountable for a War deck, but Sole Survivor saves the day. Luckily, I was able to post a 3-0 record for today.

Crucial Strategy #1 versus LiTD: remove the opponent's creatures on the board as much as possible while keeping my creatures on the board.

Featured Match #1 - Demolishing Blade of the Creator

Heal Light (Blade of the Creator) is always hard to beat for War users like me because I rely on my creatures on the board, while Heal Light thrives on removing creatures on the board, a completely contrasting deck. But I always enjoy going up against any Heal Light deck because of the satisfying feeling when I beat them.

Check out the video below and see how I demolish a Heal Light deck and LiTD Coronet deck.
