Okay, so here's the deal. This deck is hardly original. Mono gravity's really ~can't~ be anymore.
But I'm was down to 33 (25, after these hundred games if anyone cares. :p ) rares left that I needed to have enough for 6/6 of everything. So I was gonna be playin' the games anyhow. And as I was told in chat, 'Stats are never bad'.

Fortunately, after my hundred games, those stats seemed good enough to share.

The uninspired mono gravy with some sofo:
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
744 744 744 744 744 744 744 744 745 745 745 745 745 745 749 749 74b 74b 74b 74b 74c 752 752 752 75m 75m 75m 75m 75m 75m 75m 8pl


The Sofos are the most expensive thing in the deck. I had tried with a couple of Massive dragons before I started keepin' tabs, but they didn't seem to do enough. And if I ~really~ need to acc something, there's always the Sofos. Oty's eat everything. Chargers say a big ol' FU to shields. Pretty self explanatory. Between the Oty's and those gravy shields it works out pretty nice. Anythin' you can't eat (yet), usually can't hit ya. I was initially going for speed. About two thirds of the way through I started tryin' to get EM's when possible thanks to Sof's and their BH givingness. There are 31 cards in there, because everyone uses exactly 30 for every deck ('ceptin' the stalls) all the time, and I hate that. :p

I lost three games total, two of which we're me jus' gettin' rushed by death critters an' not gettin' shards out quick enough to get rid of Arsenics. I may have yelled a dirty word or three. The third loss was some random air mess, with dragons that I shouldn't have lost to, except for the fact that I didn't draw a single attacker 'til the second to last turn. Also might've cussed a time or two. Two of those losses were ON the special spin turn.

Anyhow, to the stats!

Winrate: 97%
EM: 10
TTW: 9.72
Seconds per game: 100.98
Special Spins: 17

Like I said. Seemed good enough to warrant sharing. And it was useful inasmuch as farming for those last few rares.
Now get on with yelling at me about how this should be it's own thread an' whatnot, an' I can keep grinding. :p

Add 3 nova? Those could probably pay for the SoFos.

Which league was this? Bronze?

4 otys look a bit overkill to me. You only need one in mid game to start devour rolling. Maybe take 1 out?
PVE shouldn't be all about copying a deck code and converting time into electrum, score, and potentially rares.
If the only way to derive fun from a game is its PVP content, then non-hardcore players a.k.a. the mass are alienated from the hardcore community.

Furby: Yeah, Bronze.

Math: You say that, now. But when you need one off the bat, an' don't draw one 'fer 15 cards, it'll be a different story. ;)

Play style difference, I'm sure.

Yup. At times, I prefer speed over winrate. Especially when grinding gold league.
The problem is, why would you build an entire upped deck to fight bronze if it wasn't for the efficiency?

97% isn't efficient?

How about the speed of the deck?
What people care about arena grinding is "how often can i get a rare spin?", so...

No, I get that.

I guess my best counter to that argument is pointing out the massive amount of fire rushes in bronze. By far what I went up against most. Those dragons, seraphs an' golems get by the gravy shield. If you can't have an Oty out by turn two, in a lot of those, you can lose life pretty quick like. Can't get a special spin if'n you aren't winning.
