Logging my next 500 games.

Logging my next 500 games.

Sounds like a lot, I know, but at a rate of thirty or so games per day I don't think it's /too/ bad.

I initially started with twenty-five games tonight (was just logging how often I won/lost against each deck, people that did/didn't "good game" by deck, etc.), but decided I'd rather do a different breakdown. Going to restart this and log:
- How often I see each deck.
- How often decks use common builds (Monsters setting a gold card or two in Round 1 and passing, how often Monsters use weather, how often Skellige uses the resurrection strategy, how often Northern Realms uses the adrenaline rush + duplicate + promote strategy, etc.).
- How often each deck uses something other than the default leader.

The reason I'm posting this is that I'd like suggestions - if you think there's something else I should keep track of, please let me know what it is and why you think it needs to be tracked. Open to any constructive ideas.

For now, I just want to leave one interesting thing I noticed during the first twenty-five games:
Monster deck opponents: 8
Northern Realms opponents: 7
Skellige opponents: 7
Scoia'teal opponents: 3

Only seeing three people use Scoia'teal over the course of twenty-five games is pretty bad, I think. If that trend remains over the course of my 500 game log, I'd honestly suggest that the devs work on revamping the Scoia'teal deck before they focus on nerfing any of the others.

Also going to log my next 100 kegs by their exact contents. It'll be a slow process since Xbox users can't buy them with real world cash, but I figure it'll help people out if someone feels like doing a long and thorough keg log in the future.

awesome! Very interested in this. This looks to be very in-depth. Please do post here something again when you're finished. I would not want to miss the post for the world!

Some of these numbers may surprise people, I know they surprised me.

Also, I apologize for not doing more with the Skellige and Scoia'tael decks. People using those seem to be focusing on a very small number of builds and as you've probably guessed it doesn't seem like very many people are using Scoia'tael in general (especially compared to, say, Monster decks). As I stated before, let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to keep track of and I'll gladly add it to the ongoing log.
