Gods Unchained - Observations from the last weeks
I thought I would share an observation I have made over the last couple of weeks. Honestly, I am not really sure why it is as I have observed. But maybe we can use the hive mind to figure it out together. =)
Lookie, lookie, I got lucky?
Over the last couple of weeks, I have primarily stuck to playing a budget aggro war deck in ranked. I have had a handful of mage and deception games as well. But compared to the war deck they get dwarfed by comparison. Also, I have not edited my deck in any way whatsoever. This is probably one of the key reasons for my observation, at least if I am to make a guess.
And what is this thing I have observed but yet failed to mention? It is when I win my games. As I actually, contrary to common beliefs, do win games. At least from time to time. I have for the vast majority of time been in the rank Auric Gold. I think I might have been able to climb up twice, but pretty sure I instantly lost all games and dropped down again to Auric Gold. And finally, we will get to the when. If you see the rankomiter or whatever it is you like to call the progress bar thingy. Over the last couple of weeks, I tend to have way better odds at winning games when I have little progress on the bar. The more it fills up the more counter decks I face and ultimately I lose more games.
Sure I have not racked up a ton of games, and I have played some of them earlier as well. But I am fairly confident that this is somewhat of an accurate record of the deck and my piloting skills with it. In a sense, I feel like I am going to describe what I have observed in another way. It would be this, the ranking mechanism of the game is very certain of my competitive rank with this deck compared to the current meta. And that of course brings me to these questions;
- Is this something you have been able to observe as well?
- How high win percentage does one need in order to climb in the ranking?
- Is it due to me playing the same unchanged deck over and over, or is it a feature of the low player count in the game currently?
I would love to hear your thoughts on these questions as well as any other questions you might have after sharing my observation. Please feel free to type away in the comment section below.

It seems to me that this is what I also observe.
Good to know Im not alone =)
Have no idea. I experienced everything during last two weeks with the same (only slight changes) 10$ HRD deck - falls and rises... A lot of Solar. Yesterday, I entered Mythic and, today, I won 0 games there and, humiliated, returned to Ethereal 😄
Awesome! Congratulations! 🥂
I am thinking to try Medium in collaboration with a Thai person since Medium allowed Thai people to join the program recently.
Do you think a member must write under their own name or Medium allows using a pen name for the first account? Is it fine to say the first account is a collaboration of two persons?
Because I know you can choose writing under a pseudonym for your second / third / etc account. But I don't know about the first.
If you don't know, I'll try to google this.
Can you share the deck code, sounds like an interesting deck to look at. And congrats on hitting Mythic. =)
Regarding a pen name, I am not 100% sure, but looking at people who follow me or I follow a lot of them have names that seem to be 99% not their own. Like one word, two letters, and so on.
Regarding co-oping an account. Good question. I know there is a thing called publications, sort of the community here. And while it is created by one person I know several can be recruited to help run it. But not really the same thing.
I would read their terms of service to see if it is against it to share your account. If it is then I would just have a thing where they are running it and you are co-oping on the backend. Should be fine. As long as you have an agreement between you two that is good.
They recently changed the revenue model for this month. So that's something to be aware of. Also, you now need to be a paying member in order to be able to earn. But you don't need 100 followers. So easier to get started. But for me it has impacted my earnings. have fallen quite a lot. Now it prefers people liking and commenting, before it was reading time that was big. So depending on your content and where you post it it can do very different, at least I think so. Hope that helps. Let me know if I can help in any other way or if you got anything els to ask.
I have playing it for 2-3 months, with slight changes. The most tested version is this:
https://gudecks.com/decks/67388
The deck has 2 Makeshift Shivs - I use it when many Mages and aggro Light on my way. You can choose something else instead of 1 Makeshift Shiv. Merrick, relic remover, card draw option. Other 29 cards are really time-tested.
Gama. You really don't have to buy it if you don't have it. I am not sure if his performance is better than one of Sneaky Bruiser. I think just slightly, probably. So, if you don't have Gama, choose playing 2 Sneaky Bruisers.
The deck has 3 ways to cast permanent hidden (2 Team Up and Pietro). It makes the style of playing a little different.
Thanks for sharing, still missing all of the ledgies so I wont be taking it for a test drive any time soon =(

! help(no space) to get help on Hive. InfoThank you. I should just start an account and see how things will go...
I heard about this. I will start posting first and begin to pay much later.
I have read about (old) Medium reward system. Sad they changed it. Commenting and liking can be faked easier, and new authors without a horde of followers have less chances to earn and, thus, to grow. Hope Medium devs have solutions for these problems.
I think that Medium is hoping that it will lead to more engagement. And I think they want to try and combat all the AI spam posts. But just guessing.
I am also observing it. I think the algo for matching you is really good and it is very hard to increase your win % over the long term.
Ah, yea seems like many people are experiencing similar things.
Yay! 🤗

In reality, there is no direct relationship between your win rate and your rank climbing, you just need to understand the Rank Bar and Rank Shield system.

Very true, but there is a tipping point where you won't be able to loos enough games in order to reset it. And that would mean you will climb the rank.
