Meltdown Pack Selection

[lod254]

Which packs do you guys play for Meltdown? I'm reasonably new to the game and it's my first Meltdown week.

I've been going 4x crystals and then realized OP cards like infinity core are prophecy. I've started doing 2x crystal and 2x prophecy.

My view is that there are a few game-winning cards in the first set (what big teeth, soulseeker, all the hero attachments) as well as lots of draw, which (in my experience) can determine the winner.

On the other hand, the second set has consistently better allies - these far outgun the first set.

In summary, set 1 = a smaller chance of a great deck; set 2 = a bigger chance of a good deck

So i usually go 3 from second set, 1 from 1st set to get a good selection of allies (set 2), and a punt at something special (set 1)

Don't forget that you can always change the selection if you don't like what you get - just back out and pick a different ratio

One other thing - hero selection is a massive part of it. Look to see what weapons you have (and associated buffs such as reserve weapon) - if it's good, go Amber or Gwen, otherwise direct damage such as Zaladar, Banebow, Elad, Majia etc.

My personal favor:
4 Crystal (very much like u)
Only if those 4 are really bad, then Iam starting add 1 non CotC booster until Iam satisfied.

Its hard to compare card pool from CotC/DP/SF combination on meltdown
but If we play Meldown using just 1 same expansion on all 4 booster, IMO: 4CotC is better than 4DP or 4SF

First set has everything - item removal, board clears, single ally removal, draw, graveyard revival, etc. So I take two of those then 1 DP and 1 SF for the allies and occasional great item/spell as well.

When I get Zaladar I go for 3DP and 1CotC to get a good chance of getting Voltare's Ring and Lightning Strike (LS being more common), now there are other synergies and damage types to aim for from SF but haven't really tried that yet! Been too busy making new decks and QM
