Hey! Good to see you post again here.
3 weeks ago I was in Auric, struggling there, and visited Midnight Shadow as well - with a decent collection of Deception and Death cards. Last 2 weeks, I am in Mythic and won 2 MJ and 1 Core leggies. I just corrected my Deception deck and started winning. I hope this period will last for a long time but I have no guarantee.
In DO times, lower ranks were full of inexperienced players. Now it is tougher there. Hard to overcome 50% winrate curse when decks are so diverse in lower ranks. But lower ranks are full of more or less outdated decks and full of Nature. So... this is the key probably. But I don't mean it is easy and quick - this game has been always time-consuming (and frustrating and joyful as well).
yeah, most players playing at the moment have been former mythic players battling in lower levels just dragging each other down.
who knew having lots of players can affect the overall playing experience as well?
it's even harder to do flux wheel or experiment with decks knowing it will be a tough climb back to mythic.
