My Serena deck (and some questions)

[farfromforgotten]

The deck:

4 Nightshade
2 Champion of Irum
4 Priest of the Light
2 Aldon, the Brave
3 Lily Rosecult
3 Armored Sandworm
2 Aeon Stormcaller

4 Ill-Gotten Gains
4 Stop, Thief!
3 Assassination

4 Anklebreaker
2 Fan of Blades
2 Black Garb

Now, the questions:

I've been playing Serena only as of late. Trying to master her and my deck. Some days the deck is working and it's a beautiful thing. I'll win 9 games out of 10. Other days... it doesn't work so well and I'll win 4 games or so out of 10. Is that just the way things are with Serena? Or just with this game in general? Are there notable changes I should think about making?

I have had a couple Braxnorian Veterans in there before to help against Lance and Majiya portal, they saved me a time or two, but I have also beaten those heroes without them. I also ran a couple Spelleater Bands for awhile, to help against Mages and Zaladar burn. I swear I faced Zaladar 75% of the time for a few days. Those also helped me pull out some come from behind wins, but I have since removed them as well. I've also had Raven Wildheart, the Seductress, Nightowl, etc, etc... in there from time to time.

I've been up in the 260's with her. I have recently fallen because I was on vacation and did not play enough and then when I resumed playing I went through a losing streak. Should I stick with what I've got? Maybe I'm just a little rusty from the vacation... lol.

I've made some changes. Things are going well so far. I'll update the list with the changes once I'm completely satisfied with the results.
