With the new season I decided to experiment and play around with different decks with different Heroes. The result wasn't pretty. I think I became 'ratings fodder' and could only cringe as my Heroes and Allies died in gruesome agony. Now sitting at rating 189 I've discovered a wonderful 'sub culture' of equally weird and often bizarre decks and encounter cards seldom seen ( I wouldn't play them ) Sometimes they work, more often they fail, but you don't know what you're going to see next. ( similar to Meltdown ) When I looked at games by the top players, say 280 plus, I see pretty much the same decks, but still with enough variety to keep the games interesting and intense. In playing the higher rating games you usually know what style each Hero plays, if it's an Undead or a Twilight or Ravanger deck. The under 200, you can only guess.
This game is great because it caters for both. I'm enjoying staying under 200 this month because I like to see these different decks. If I want to see if I can reach say 300 next month I'll maybe pick one of the stronger decks and try my luck. So the monthly season has been a great innovation for many reasons...
