Even after the update, this is still one of the best and by far the cheapest FG farmer I've used. If you would, indulge me in my story:
I used this a long time back and was frustrated that I kept losing against gods which were marked as easy. I won a few upped cards, but was disgusted by how long it took. I promptly sold them and made what I thought was the "best" FG farmer, a RoL-Hope deck. I stubbornly played that for a few months and managed to win a decent set of upped cards. However, I was surprised such a "good" deck didn't seem amazingly effective, but I chalked that up to how all FG decks worked. Finally, I came back to this one and realized it gave me just about as many wins unnupped as my steadily upped RoL deck was giving me, and more wins per hour since games are decided quite fast. Thus I realized two things: 1, that my "frustration" was simply me being an idiot without enough experience at playing, and 2, that even if a deck is popular on the forum (RoL), doesn't mean it is the "best". Just popular. The moral of the story for naysayers of this deck is that experience is a far more useful indicator of how this deck performs rather than a couple early hit-and-misses.
