"Before you go all "that wouldn't stand a chance in Gold/Plat" on me, try it. Chaos Wyrms outrushes a good majority of Gold/Plat decks. Though it may lose more often, overall, it will have more wins than the other decks in this thread."

Most of the decks here are outdated or kind of crappy.  Swallow is the only plat here I would play with in 1.322 and the 35 card pdials instead of the one listed.  It's also missing several other decks posted in the past 3 months that are a lot better.  Chaos Wyrms isn't that great, but I agree it's a lot better than most of what's in this thread for todays game.  They really need to start it anew.

The person who originally created the thread has since left the forums and therefor cannot update the thread. Just look at the decks that people have posted.

Unless it was quite recent, Kev hasn't actually left (at least, he's been around and active within the last couple months, which is a lot more recent than the OP of this thread has had updates). I think the reason this isn't really updated that much is that just about everyone looking for decks gets pointed at the current stats threads instead of these.

Honestly I more or less think this section needs to just be converted to a list of links to the actual stats studies.

Chaos wyrms is still in the stats thread and has been tested and is a top earner in gold so I still don't know why you keep assuming everyone is going to say chaos wyrms wouldn't stand a chance.

Decks used against arena with stats 1.32

edit: Upon closer inspection, kev has in fact left, though much more recently than this has been updated. I am most of the way certain I've heard other people mention they were eventually going to maintain these threads in chat though. Also, upon further closer inspection, they've been being maintained by people who aren't kev for quite a while.

The only reason this wasn't updated it's because we need more decks before updating. There you are now, now the topic is updated with the last deck posted, now if you can find a better way to keep those, I'd really like to see that.

I don't 100% understand the phrasing of this bit so I apologize if I'm answering a different thing than you were talking about, but if you're asking about a better way to set up the threads, I actually think this entire section should be tied to the various stats studies, which honestly IIRC is an idea I got from listening to you talk about it in chat a while ago.

The exact method of tying them in isn't really important to me and is ultimately relatively arbitrary, but as far as an arbitrary format, something like just posting the top five decks by profit for both unupped and upped (and for lower targets, possibly with an unupped/rareless section as well) and a link to the study for more information.

Of course that doesn't work very well with PvP, so PvP recommendations should probably stay roughly exactly as they are right now, but everything else except AI3 has an active, current-patch study, and AI3 hasn't really changed much in terms of farming since immo was nerfed a while back.

That's the idea I want to try at FGs, that was one of the main reason FGei study got back, if it works nicely, we'll use the same idea for other sections too.

Hello! It's been a while, but I'd just like to make note of a few things so that people don't call me out on being sneaky and deleting things for kicks and giggles later.

At this time, submissions to the CRD threads which are now outdated due to shard changes have been removed. Those decks which still work but were posted using the old shard codes have been updated to avoid confusion. This is mainly to avoid clutter and to make combing through past candidates easier in the future.

I would also like to call a moment of silence for the following decks that were made obsolete due to shard changes:

I still don't get which are good against platinum decks.

most of these decks are outdated: swallow and pdials are the best, if u want something really fast for going for the special spin (without EM) go for speed poison kamizaze, VDB or chaos wyrms
