So I'm wondering if you could answer a couple of questions: 1.how long did it take you to make it to 4000? (Not that I think i'll make it in a week, especially with HenryGrosmont hogging the computer) 2. What faction are you playing in ranked? the reason I'm asking is that you seem to be all ''monsters are a piece of cake'' - while my SK deck has the lowest win ratio against monsters (less than 50%!)
cheers, a
I went from 17 to 20 in about 2 days playing an Emhyr Mill Nilfgaard Variant.
Vilgie, Tibor, Avallach, Regis HV. Sweers, Peter, Albrich, Cantarella, Decoy, Treason. 2 Ambassadors, 2 Emissaries, 2 Rot Tossers, 1 Impera Brigage, 2 Nauzica Banners, 1 Nauzica Something or other (deal 5 damage to a spy), 2 Lacerates, 3 Golems, 2 Vicovaro Medics.
Good luck friend! I'm sure you can get there one way or another!

Well, since I'm not a computer player, I can't offer you a friendly, but I can tell you that it draws most 25 card decks out by Round 3. And honestly, it doesn't even need to do that to win. Swim's Millege deck has never drawn me out, and I have more thinning than most. Most people can thin their own bronze cards without my help. If the opponent is stuck with two cards at the end of the match, and one is silver and one is gold, then Vilgefortz and Tibor will do their job.
The purpose of a Mill deck, named after Millstones from MtG, is not JUST to draw people out. Anyone familiar with that game will tell you so. I don't want to draw them out, just to put cards in their hand where they can play them anyway. The point of a Mill Deck is to hopefully deny them from playing useful cards in their deck, presumably by putting them in their graveyard with Sweers (and in the case of Spotters and other in-deck buffers, with Regis: HV) or taking them with Treason.

But anyway, what's the problem with frbfree calling it a mill deck? I mean, first of all, I asked him what kind of deck he was playing, I didn't ask him for a thesys about the long term philosophical ramifications of misstating a deck's intent. most imaginative decks would not be ''pure 100%''mill or pure 100% anything, so using a couple of words to give the general idea may end up being not 100% all incompossing of every aspect of the deck and its' uses. Second, if I build a deck I can call it whatever I want. I can make a consume deck and call it ''queensguard''. I can make a NG spy deck and call it ''Vilgefarts''. Hell, I have a deck which features a premium Lambert but no other witchers and it's called ''ORANGE APPLE''. Granted, my son made it and named it, but my point stands.

You're unable to do the math with the cards being in your hand? I find that hard to believe... And trust me: your opponent doesn't give a damn whether you got lucky or not. There seems to be a bug that if you quit (even very late) your opponent is unable to GG you, so do what you will, but this is only going to result in you not getting GG's.
I also stopped playing ranked because of a couple of monster decks I faced consecutively with me repeatedly 2-0'd so that's wasn't fun at all given there was nothing I could do. Besides, I probably maxed out my rank given the low effort put in the game atm. Against some decks I just don't have a clue what to do.

From what I understand, they've intentionally made it so you can't GG after only 1 round (to prevent ppl abusing it: just entering a game and forfeiting for a quick +5scraps/ore). But the fact you sometimes can't GG even in the 3rd round isn't intentional. One of the reasons I prefer passing.
