My main deck
    I use the deck «Argenport Gauntlet Control (ft. Entirely Too Many Board Wipes)» by excitedraichu


    Contains Cards From Campaigns:
  • Into Shadow [Set1004]
  • Hour of Glass [Set1115]

  • Shiftstone Cost = 46 350
  • Premium cost = 224 800
FORMAT:Throne
4 Argenport Blueprints (Set11 #191)
3 Sinister Rumors (Set1115 #13)
4 Saloon Massacre (Set12 #129)
3 Steyer's Eyes (Set1115 #7)
4 Vine Grafter (Set10 #197)
4 Auren Condemnation (Set1115 #9)
4 Hidden Road Smuggler (Set5 #210)
4 Kerendon Merchant (Set4 #217)
4 Slay (Set2 #236)
4 Nothing Remains (Set12 #192)
4 Harsh Rule (Set1 #172)
4 Save the Day (Set14 #459)

--------------MARKET---------------
1 Hoarding Builder (Set10 #183)
1 Poacher's Menagerie (Set13 #201)
1 Vara, Vengeance-Seeker (Set1004 #19)
1 Inquisitor Makto (Set2 #242)
1 Hermitspawn (Set14 #171)



The only changes I made to the deck were to replace:
  • Makto => Solitude
  • Hermitspawn => Azindel's Rift

All of this is solely so that if I face an opponent whose detailed deck I don't have, I can discard their entire deck, including their hand.

The deck is generally very passive, but it allows you to withstand almost any enemy, unless you are very unlucky with your card set or your enemy has a perfect start.

You might be wondering why I've only talked about the 6 most popular decks.

The fact is that No. 6 — Strange Return — came across almost twice as rarely = 23 times.

All other decks are even less frequent, so expect these top 6 to be your most frequent opponents.



And there is actually a rather interesting explanation for this:
  • The fact is that these 6 decks have the HIGHEST probability of becoming an opponent among the first 4 enemies
    (383 of 872 = 44%)

  • And they will NEVER become the 5th or 6th enemy

Given that these decks are among the strongest in the game, you will lose to them more often than not.

And accordingly, starting from the first enemy, you will again encounter the same increased probability of meeting these enemies.

Thank you for this. :)
Personally I liked how Gauntly was improved a bit with the release of Battle Lines, but almost only seeing the same few enemies is really sad.
