@omega- Yes, that is true, but 3 games is nill statistically.  It is entirely possible that you got 3 bad hands, which would ruin your argument.
@Absol- This isn't fully dedicated.  Only somewhat, and the extra few cards have saved me a few times, and all I need for a good hand is a few pillars, devourers, a gargoyle or two with the same number of LS, and maybe a steal or cloak in there as well, which I usually get.
@Damage- GTFO, I have plenty experience with 40 card decks, and as long as they are constructed decently, they are plenty usable.  Just because a deck has more than 30 cards, does NOT mean it is "not reliable."

 RELIABLE means something different.BETTER DRAWS means something different.You think why all people use 30 carded decks? For better draws.Not for deckouting.By the way,if you rush/stall enough  you will win before the deckout.Not 'AFTER'.Look at the 'ditryconary'

I know he knows, but my first hands are plenty good enough to get me through a vast majority of battles.  Not PVP or anything like that.  I just like the style, if somebody could give me an EXAMPLE of an alteration, I would willingly try it out (no more stilettos, the one I have is all I have.)

Yes, but seeing as with 10 pillars in a 30 card deck, you average 2 maybe 3 a game, getting an average of two in this deck doesn't seem inaccurate.

Games usually last longer than that...
And devourers are dual-purpose: Quanta generator AND Quanta destroyer.  They can lock down opponent bad hands quickly.  I am willing to test out minor modifications.

I won't argue that big decks can't be effective (firestall, ragequit), but that is definitely not the case here.

@TIO:
Even assuming that you play it differently, it was simulated using game simulator. The bad choice AI makes obviously reduce winrate, but it's still good enough to compare 2 decks or more, since the AI playing them will have same playstyle (so there's no bias on that).
Best thing we can do to increase the validity it is by playing the game first-handedly, but come on, who wants to play 2000 games using these decks?

@furball:
I didn't think of using Nightfall. I made the deck merely to show some statistics. You can obviously improve the deck, as my deck is also far from optimal.

@Damage:
I don't think you realize that my earlier post is to make this discussion go back on track. You have no reason nor right to insult people as talentless, nor little guy or "30 card is better, don't discuss". But of course, this coming from a guy who necro a thread and then tried to flame me is... Expected, to say the least.

This is my last post here. Come on, try to keep on track.

 New version is better I think. It's faster,yeah. But 3 nightfalls is a lot I think.You don't need'em.Cause your gargoyles has heavy HP.I'd drop'em.That'll make it faster. For the past,I apologise.
