I love these videos. Can’t wait for the next 4 decks. I’m interested in your thoughts on Orgnum. I’ve been in several matches of basically flipping the patron back and forth. It has been an ok strat for me in that I typically win when someone insists on flipping it towards them every turn before they even acquire 3 cards from the tavern but it is a boring grind. I’m hoping to learn a better way to counter than just outlasting them.

[@DarKirby02]

For such a difficult rating with how they change late, you definitely 'murdered' it 🙌

[@PinkAppleYT]

Thanks :) was definitely the most complex tierlist yet!

[@KaisersGB]

This deck is my favorite! It pairs so well with the psijic deck as I find my self being able to burn cards to reviel other key cards and line up my deck for the next draw. I get hit hard in the early game but by turn 3 or 4 I start to see the combos and it rolls from there. It goes especially will when I can remove cards from the deck to streamline draws. Usually end up being able to draw my entire deck in the late game consistently.

[@PinkAppleYT]

Yeah Blue+Purple makes for a great combo. You can really remove the RNG from the combos and just guarantee great turns. The Dreaming Cave in particular is often a better pickup than adding more purple cards!

[@KaisersGB]

@@PinkAppleYT 💯 it lets me line up my purple combos so well as well as giving me that extra card! I finally hit the rubidite ranks but I am in the low ranks sitting at 490 something though I have no hopes of piercing the top 300, but it has just been great just to hit this benchmark

[@PinkAppleYT]

@@KaisersGB Congrats on Rubedite! And I am sure you can make it onto the leaderboard this season if its a goal of yours. Its only a few wins a way from where you are now, you are much closer than you think :) Just focus on improvement and try to learn from every loss, I am still doing the same!

[@KaisersGB]

@@PinkAppleYT 😁 who knows we might meet cross paths on my way up lol that's for the awesome content can't wait to see what some advance maneuvers and plays you got in store for us

[@CharlieShaughnessy]

Awesome info, love these videos. More please. If you can do videos on strategies later too that would be awesome.

[@PinkAppleYT]

Thanks for the support :) The next video is actually an advanced guide covering deck cycling, how you can abuse it and when you should actively avoid it. More strategy videos are in the works!

[@andrewmicallef9679]

Im playing crows and eagles , pool of shadows as you mentioned allows the eagle patron use effectively 2p=1draw , the drawback being you cant use treasury. However with eagle patron i delete all except 5 or 6 coins anyway

[@Cyber1zed]

What makes purple so good is that you can end up drawing your entire deck in a turn if you have enough purple cards.

[@PinkAppleYT]

It can be even crazier if you combine the deck with Red Eagle (Black) and your entire deck is only 6-8 purple cards. At this point you can start buying cards from the tavern, and then forcing them into your hand and play them the same turn you bought them!

[@niightwollf2865]

@@PinkAppleYT Had this happen to me and I managed to find a rally in tavern which I could play on the turn I bought it and then discard with Hlaalu patron power to just get a stupid amount of prestige

[@PinkAppleYT]

@@niightwollf2865 Haha nice! Yeah you can get some crazy strong turns in once you can start playing cards the same turn you buy them.

[@JCFlyingV98]

Do you plan on making guides for the other four decks that you unlock? Hunding’s/red eagle etc? I would love to see that

[@PinkAppleYT]

Yes! Already have some of them worked on, hopefully should be out soon.

[@AN-sr6cr]

How do you feel about pool of shadows in the early game in order to activate the green patron?

[@PinkAppleYT]

I think this synergy makes the card a bit better, but the red eagle patron power really enables a lot more. Being guaranteed to proc hundings can be strong, especially if your next hand has no power cards so you can easily assure a 6-7 gold card. Overall, I'd say pool of shadows gets a bit better with hunding and a lot better if both hunding and red eagle are in your match!

[@Throwing_Spoon]

When it comes to the agents that you listed as lower tiered, shouldn't they be valued a bit more because they help slow the game down and buy time to scale in more aggressive matchups? If left up, they significantly increase the chances of early game combos before you're able to draft other sources of card draw or many other purple cards.

[@PinkAppleYT]

Your logic is certainly correct and even the C tier agents can give you some extra time to scale into your massive combos! However it is my opinion that these cards are not nearly as necessary to kill as blackfeather knave, and also are quite lackluster the turn they are played. If you are playing vs an aggressive deck and started player 2, you can pick up blackfeather knight and have a 3 health agent from turn 1, and if you have scratch/murder of crows in particular this becomes even better as these are overpowered 2 card combos. On average though I feel these cards are slightly overpriced and low impact, atleast compared to the rest of the crow cards. Do note though this is the first tierlist video with no D tier cards, all the crow cards are pretty decent pickups!

[@trunkage]

If agents only cost 3 or 4 coins, they might be worth it

[@PinkAppleYT]

@@trunkage They are actualy making purring shadow cost only 4 coins next patch (The 5 cost rajhin taunt). And also making it give 2 gold on play rather than 1. Will be a great agent!

[@AlessandroAlfieriAlfioMN]

Useful video but annoying audio both music and voice, a pause after every sentence is a terrible thing.

[@PinkAppleYT]

Thanks for the feedback! I tried to improve the audio a decent bit in the new Druid King deck guide, but is still a work in progress for sure.

[@corporalcrimson3295]

No it's great
