@50kJoey They’re very good in certain matchups, best card in your deck good, and very average in others like the ones you mentioned.
Luckily for Draven, the matchups that engage in combat & fight for might on board have always been some our best, while Aurora/Ez/Diana/Irelia haven’t
Here’s what I played this weekend. Went 11-4 overall.
80/594, 7-4 in the main event.
I lost R10 and R11 to Irelia & Yi, I could have played much better in both…
I think after this weekend I have some ideas to significantly improve this deck and I’m excited to test them.
@odnicki_m 100% agreed. the play patterns where they hit early Seals + Ride the Wind is a bit too strong, that’s how I lost today g1 & g2 and could never win any combats.
Will have to cook something
Went 5-2, made day 2 @ Showdown Series today
R1 W Bye
R2 L 0-2 Jayce
R3 W 2-1 Azir
R4 W 2-0 Azir
R5 L 0-2 Kennen
R6 W 2-1 Lillia
R7 W 2-1 Kennen
R2 lose die roll to Jayce -> Mobilize -> Promising -> Aurora, just the kind of day it was.
My two teammates are 7-0 though 👀
Tentacle Draven has been feeling very strong in testing.
Up From Deep is 4 bodies you can score points with, without having to commit real bodies to battlefields.
Feels like Reaver’s Row games all over again.
Went 4-0 in the Showdown Grinder today w/ Draven to secure the bye for tomorrow
2-0 Diana
2-0 Nasus
2-0 Azir
2-0 Rek’sai
Excited for tomorrow, let’s get it 💪
@iMrFunnyGuy For the 3rd Gust Monk, and removed a Vex Apathetic (I have 3 UftD + 3 Kaisa + Noxus shenanigans already for turn 2 plays) for a Brynhir in the main
Locking in Draven for Showdown Series Ottawa this weekend.
It’s looking to be a 600+ player event, so it’ll be our first big test. Let’s go for Top 4 or better.
Then we go for the Best-Of in Barcelona!
@odnicki_m Currently playing Seat of Power otp, I found Targon’s and Star Spring both give our opponents ways to overcome the otd deficit, so went for something more generic and less impactful.
@donnnerlunte I’ve tested it quite a bit and I actually feel we’re favoured. I’m maining 1 Brynhir & 1 Hard Bargain which she hates, siding 1 and 1 more + Abandon as well.
Her sig spell is weak against us, just watch out for Shock Blast on Noxus/Kaisa
