Get Out Of The Trench With Thaddius Brood
To get out of the Bronze, just spam Thaddius Brood.
Why you should listen to me?
I climbed from Novice to Diamond in just 2 days of rental (see part 1 and part 2) so I have some idea on how to climbing the league.
Main Ingredients
Important cards to choose when spam Thaddius Brood:
Thaddius Brood
➕ Really help to deal with magic monsters, reduce monster health and synergize with Necrosi
➕ Low mana
➕ Death is cool, @cryptomancer would agree with me
Cursed Windeku
➕ Huge health
➕ Thorns is just the icing on the cake
➖ Weak against magic attack
Magi Necrosi
➕ Main weapon to neutralize support monsters at the back with the snipe ability
➕ Fast, most monsters in Bronze have 3 or less speed
➕ Camouflage to hide from sneak, opportunity and snipe monsters
Desserts
Both of these cards are not necessarily needed but could really help Cursed Windeku and Magi Necrosi:
Weirding Warrior
➕ Low mana
➕ Shatter to get rid of tank with a lot of armor
➖ Low attack
➖ Low health
Ever-Hungry Skull
➕ 1 health to attract opportunity away from Weirding Warrior
➕ High armor
➕ Flying for dodge chance
➖ 1 health, weak against magic monsters or monsters with poison ability
Strategy
When drafting, use this card positioning in this exact order to get the best result:
Explanation
Cursed Windeku
📝 Main tank for this strategy
Weirding Warrior
📝 Can destroy enemy armor quickly with shatter ability but weak against opportunity monsters
Ever-Hungry Skull
📝 A "shield" for Weirding Warrior and Magi Necrosi in later stage of the game
Magi Necrosi
📝 Main weapon because of magic attack and speed
📝 One shot / do serious damage to enemy support monsters
📝 Put it in the last position so it can survive until the end, don't worry sneak monster not able to attack because of camouflage ability
Example Battle
📝 Battle link
📝 Necrosi already do some damage towards Crystalsmith in round 1
📝 Weirding Warrior shred Chwala's armor
📝 Ever-Hungry Skull bait Harpy from Sapper and Weirding Warrior
📝 Battle link
📝 Necrosi one shot all those pesky support monsters
📝 Ever-Hungry Skull bait Deep Lurker, and got some dodge too 🤭
📝 Use 0 or 1 mana monsters to fill in the gap in between Windeku and Weirding Warrior
📝 Battle link
📝 Low mana ruleset? Try Riftwing for Windeku alternative
End Note
This strategy should bring you from Novice to Bronze 1.
It is going to be a bit hard to apply and spam Thaddius Brood in Bronze 1 as there will be more ruleset variations and Death splinter is not always available.
I recommend to use Kelya or Obsidian (focus on magic) depending on the rulesets to climb to Silver.
That's all for this post, thank you for reading.
Not related but I battle the "same guy" repeatedly when climbing Bronze hahaha 🤣
