Throw Away Decks for Guild Wars for Deck Heroes

Alright this is going to be a short post, but now that Killer Queen is nerfed and I am the leader of my own guild: Guild Wars have become more important to me. They are time consuming, tedious and I hate them but without Killer Queen they are absolutely necessary to attain Guild Mall Credits. So I am working on some throwaway decks to help me out in the guild wars.

What is a throwaway deck you ask? Good question. They are decks with the lesser 3* and below heroes just meant to try and add to your courier count and plunder. Here are a few that I have seen and then I will talk about some that I am going to try (if I can ever level enough cards). I am leveling up my Frost Army for Guild Decks so its tuff.

Good Throwaway Decks

Highly Leveled Patriarch fully loaded with flame mages and a couple humanity 7 devotees.

Zora Marauder with 8 sprite link 7 frost ragers and two treant guides.


Chaos Witch with a full deck of Cave Dragons.


Experiments:

I am also going to try Elder Mawrek with a bunch of Blood Warlocks, which I will meld Earth Totem on a few of them for guild maps anyways.

Well my wife is awake so I got to go now. Damned list of Honey Dos and Honey dont do thats. But I will be back to add more stuff to this post. I have more deck ideas but she woke up before I could get it out. Lol, Get married and your video game life will suffer. But its worth it. Okay I gtg she is coming lol

Deck Heroes PVP Sucks Rant

This is my rant about why Deck Heroes PVP sucks. I will then itemize the various PVPs of Deck Heroes in order of suckiness. I love this game. I really do. The deck building is unlike (and awesome) any other cardgame I have ever played. I have an idea for a way better one but what can you do I can't code apps so it will probably never happen. But the PVP is some of the worst that I have played. And its not because I suck at it okay. I have a 70% winrate.

This all basically came about two nights ago after a Guild War. I popped onto World Chat to have a few laughs before doing my nightly raids and it was the usual Post Guild War Dick Comparison Contest. I guess the Wight Supremacists didn't make number 1 this time and a couple of the guys were really letting them have it. (its just my joke name for them. I am not bitter about them being Elite. Someone has to be #1 and I am too casual a player for it to be me).

So Global Chat soon descended into guys from WK cussing out some other guys and vice versa (if you were there you know who they are). And I am not taking sides. I like people on both sides. But World Chat just descends into a giant verbal brawl after Guild Wars. It kind of sickens me how personal both sides take the game. Its a game that is supposed to be fun. I do not base my self esteem by how good at Deck Heroes I am. I just like the game and want to have fun.

But inevitably some WK guy told one of the Chat Rogues that they shouldn't be butthurt because they weren't as good a deck builder as they were. This is where I took offense. Because it isn't Deck Building it is Deck Buying. The top players have all spent a fortune to get there. Its okay because I knew that this was a Pay 2 Win game when I started.

But it isn't really deck building when the Arena is automated. I don't have the option of putting my creatures where I want them like in Dungeon Maps. "Deck Building" is basically choosing whether you want a Disposal or Antidisposal Deck then then doing some lame autofight against your opponent.

Now this is not an insult to WK or any Top Player okay this is not my point. This isn't my first P2W game and its cool. I used to play WoW with guys that just bought their characters. It is fine. Plus some of the top guilds advantage comes from having more guild maps open with better creature shards. My point is that I wish PVP was more skill based and less random. I get why IGG does it because it makes players want to spend gems acquiring those marquee endgame creatures.

I do concede that there is a minimal amount of skill at knowing how your hero creatures stack up against your opponents but it it is just not involved enough for me.

What I do like about DH is that you can meld really awesome creatures and you have the freedom to try and make your own combinations. Shard drop rates are getting so abysmal now though that I am starting to get bored (not yet but starting to). It takes me a 3-7 days to farm any creature of worth and sometimes longer.

I just want to reiterate that this rant is not directed at WK or any other Top Guild. I am a Day 1 player. I was there when guilds came out. I elected not to start my own guild because I didn't want to put the time into. My wife already hates how much time I spend playing lol.

So now I will rank the different PVP features of Deck Heroes in order of suckiness.

Deck Heroes PVP Suck Ranking

Sky Arena Definitely Does Not Suck

Champion Gauntlet - I used to hate the gauntlet but now that IGG has made it so your characters refresh after awhile; I really enjoy this one. I am making my way through the Gauntlet everyday and having fun. It doesn't really suck at all anymore.

1. Tournaments - Even though I haven't been very good at Tournaments yet I like this pvp the next best. Its something I haven't seen before and the fact that I would not want to have to place my own creatures in 3 seperate fights makes me hate the autofight pvp thing a little abit less. Tournament only marginally sucks because it reminds me how much I hate the Arena.

2. Raids. I am awesome at raids. I farm about 15-30k in Glory a night depending on how patient I am and how good the targets are. My curse deck is sicker than the one posted in the video. But I don't need manual pvp for this function. All my creatures are basically the same and I just press auto/skip and collect my Glory. I need the manual pvp for the...

3. Arena - Arena started out as the true test of how you ranked in Deck Heroes and it is where I really hate the AutoPVP. Its not really the best player who wins its just the one who can afford to buy the best deck. If it was manual I would have the opportunity to use strategy to overcome my opponent instead of basically watching a horse race (no offense but Horse Races rank about as high as Golf on the excitement meter). They are maximum Boring.

4. Which leads to Guild Wars which sucks the most. Not counting the cheating, I just hate it because it requires so much time to partake in. I barely have enough time in my day to make a marginal attempt and keep my guildies happy. It is fun and I do okay but I just don't have the time to do it. That's why Guild Wars is (imho) the suckiest PVP feature. Just out of sheer Tediousness.

Well sorry for the rant but that's where I am at with Deck Heroes right now. The lowering Shard Drop Rate and the Pettiness and Automation of the PVP is just sucking the life out of me. I may have to take a break for awhile.

The main reason I wrote this however is that because I do have a good thing to say about IGG over some other Developers. They do actually listen to their players and make the game better from time to time. I am hoping that by putting this out there and maybe getting some feedback (please don't argue Pay 2 Win though, that all got tired out in Global Chat) that maybe IGG might improve the game a little bit. Maybe have two Arenas one Auto and one Manual. That would be fun.

Deck Heroes Guild War Glitch Hack Exploit (Patched)

First of all, I just want to thank Stargater for finding this Deck Heroes Guild War Glitch. Its a shame that a lot of the top Guilds were using this exploit to reuse their Heroes and cards to get extra couriers but that is okay. Just want to say a big thank you to Stargater for publishing this so we can all utilize it and hopefully IGG will fix the bug.

This Exploit has Since been hacked April 29, 2015. Sorry Folks.

Deck Heroes Guild War Glitch Hack Exploit

Well there it is folks. I don't have any reason not to believe that this is true. Stargater07 is a very respectable guy. So now at least all of us can use this glitch or contact IGG to try and get it fixed. I will try it out in the next guild war and see if i can get it to work.

Here is something of interest to those of you who witnessed all this Drama. Here is Swanky's reply to what happened on all of this posted on the IGG Forums:

"Swanky was dismissed from WK for sharing information outside of the guild." Thats a quote directly from MATADOR, the guild leader of WK. He was telling this to Starggater07, the guild leader of VM. To me, that is sharing information outside of the guild. A huge lol. It shows me exactly where WK is heading. When I joined, it was day 1 of guilds. We grew fast. We gained some amazing players and people. Due to our recruiting tactics, and persistence to recruit the top players, we quickly became and stayed #1 guild. We were proud to be number one! We worked to make WK what it was and is today. But recently, the feel in he guild changed. Council has either become nazis, or puppets. MATADOR has recently proven to me and the entire DH community, that WK does not care about anyone. They only care to maintain #1. They resort to below fair tactics, using multiple guilds to guild jump and hit multiple maps simutaniously. Sending spies into the chats and ranks of other top guilds. KICKING MEMBERS FOR SHARING GAME ADVICE WITH PLAYERS OUTSIDE OF WK. Using ingame bugs to create unfair advantages durring guild wars. Mikhal is adamently trying to figure out the mechanicsnof the gauntlet, an an attempt to fix the decks he comes up against. And other stuff I won't mention. To me, this is borderline cheating. They made this game something it wasn't ment to be. I love most members of WK. I've meet some really awesome people there. WK was a family to me. But recent events have opened my eyes to how they really are. They have no interest in a fair competition. Only to maintain their elitest status. They say giving guild map damage tips to people is wrong. They have banned their members from even talking to me. Friends. They risk kicks if found talking to me... Just lol. I'm glad they kicked me. I love most of WK, but its no longer the guild I thought it was, and I won't miss it long. And to WK members too afraid to even talk to me now, grow some balls. Its funny you let them control who you talk to. I'll miss all engood people, and I feel sorry you feel you have to keep quiet just to stay WK. But if that's the guild you want, best of luck to you. 50 people think WK is really #1, and they are WK. The rest, who play fair and put people before a game, know VM is really #1, with Heartless a very close #2. WK is a joke that we gotta see a the top of our rankings page, kinda like an advertisement in a phone game. Nothing more, and not really #1. I'd rather have an lower rank with good people, then to have to fear a guild kick for showing someone a screenshot, or talking to a friend. Just a joke now. Lol, I'm done. Just wanted my view to be seen, as WK members have blocked me in chats, but will surely see this. Fux WK."

Drama Drama Drama lol. I just don't get how people can get that wrapped up in a silly game. I love it don't get me wrong. I am in a competitive guild (top 50) but we don't take ourselves that seriously lol. The Wight Knights don't really vex me all that much (for good or bad) and I really like Stargater. I have talked to him several times and he is really nice. But I have/had some friends in WK too. I just don't have the money/time/social skills necessary to be in one of those top guilds. I am too casual.

I do want to be a good player but after a 2 week forced hiatus due to my tablet exploded, I am really far behind now. I guess I understand the class warfare in games. The rich kids in WoW always bought their characters and stuff but I guess I am just used to it now and it really doesn't bother me that much.
