What deck to use to beat Gold League?

[Blues]

The decks there are like FGs, but while the decks of the individual FGs are known, here you never know what awaits you.
So which deck is best to cash some good electrum?

[ralouf]

I will not tell you what I exaclty use but give you some help : almost every deck use lava destroyer, abyss crawler, flesh/phase recluse, giant frog, cocatrixx.. All this creature have one common point, this is their big weakness. Find it and you are on the good way

Pestal,The JMZ Classic(epic score in one day),The Shutdown.

I've tried using a few different decks but the same problem always kills me, Black Hole spam or 5 creatures out by round 2. I can't beat those decks and gold is flooded with them.

I use Rain of Fire for CC but can't get enough quanta to use it before I'm dead and same deal with Sanctuary against Black Hole spam decks.

It is frustrating to lose all the time but it's also nice with the challenge to try and beat these things

I was playing around with Vader Sader for a bit in Gold yesterday and was mildly surprised by how well it did.  Most of the time if it wins, it EMs, and with EMs being worth ~250 against even the lowest ranks, that's quite the payoff for its speed.  I was only able to put together 4 wins in a row once, but the rest of it worked quite well for me.

I haven't tested it yet, but in theory Fire Shield/Buckler seems like it would be pretty good against a lot of those creatures.  Things like Lava Destroyer attack into it once and die, or Phase Spider/Ruby Dragon attacks twice and dies, and so on.  You'd probably have to back that up with healing though, like shards or sanctuaries or something.

I tested firestall. My results are that, upped, it's pretty darn good, IF you protect your bucklers - PC kills you.

[ralouf]

Yeah like Will I try almost every thing that can EM and I'm using a mono darkness pest/vampire with 4 steal and it works quite good I lost only one game out of 10. I'll try vader sader too

Eh, CCYB. What better to kill a pseudo-false-god, than a false god killer?

Actual False Gods have terrible decks, though. Some of the Gold League decks are pretty scary.
