In the 2 year history of the current structure of the Weekend Ranked tournament, there has only ever been 2 players to get perfect 25/25 Weekend Ranked scores.
This weekend isn't over yet and there are already TWO players with 25/25 records!
And they both use the same deck.
So what is that deck and why is it so good?
Apocalypse Now is the most powerful card in the game. It kills everything.
Cards like Demogorgon will see things printed like Witchfingers which are a close proximity. But in my opinion, they will never be able to print anything like Apocalypse Now ever again, making it a very worthwhile Genesis card to own.
Check out the video and let me know what you think of the deck and your odds of beating it!

Crazy, right, I used to play a very similar deck for quite some time (just missing the demogorgons there and sulphuric rain) and managed to get some decent 60+% win rate, always managed 12+ wins for mythic during the weekend) but never came close to anything like 20+ wins. So I was surprised to see 25/25 with it and even more surprised, a few hours later, to see that twice. Like, what's the odds of this happening? Getting 25/25 relies on great luck, no matter what cards you have. So I'm very confused, wondering if there isnt something more in this strategy than the deck itself...
It has gotten easier with the recent influx of new players diluting the mythic skill level. You're less likely to see bad matchups since new players will tend towards cheaper aggro decks. Board wipe death has bad matchups against sleep deception and hyper aggressive slayer war which have fallen out of the current meta.
Great insight as always, sad I wasn't around for Genesis. Listening to you, it seems Genesis cards are make or break in your decks.
Core set refresh coming soon, should level the playing field!
I'm salivating on the idea that everyone plays BWD. Makes control deception go moon and control deception is my favorite deck.
Sleep Deception is a fun solitaire game for sure!
