This is a though provoking post on the evolving new CL meta. Please keep them coming.

I am curious about your opinion on using magic earth attack to counter Zaku based ranged attack game.

I reckon this might be tricky at the lower levels due to the lack of a Triage to counter the blast damage. Khmer Princess only gets it at lvl 8 and Queen Mycelia gets it at lvl 3.

Speed is still the most effective way to counter Zaku, and most of the fast Earth cards are Ranged, so will not benefit from Obsidian's +1 Magic.

Maybe at higher levels, the following line-up might work : Mycelic Slipswpawn, Centauri Mage, Regal Peryton, Queen Mycelia, Khmer Princess and Goblin Psychic.

You have a full CL deck, what has worked for you in Champs?

Agree with you bro. It's hard to survive the first barrage of damage from Yodin's army without losing too much, so attacking first is always a great strategy. If you actually come up with something that survives the first barrage of damage AND can kill some monsters in the back, that should probably do it, but at lower leagues it's kind of tough.

It's a great pleasure receiving positive feedback from a Champion player! Thanks a lot for passing by and I hope you'll my opinion will be helpful:
We expect a Zaku with ranged attacks and no magic with all my monsters pick at level 1:

  • Mycelic Slipspawn will get destroyed so I won't pick it
  • 1st position: Mycelic Infantry since he got shield (gets reduced damage)
  • 2nd Centauri Mage: it'll return fire from Snipe monsters as well as from the blast damage when enemy hits the tank
  • Queen Mycelia: Having extra Armor will especially help Centauri mage stay alive longer
  • Scavo Hireling: with Repair it keeps reparing the armor of Mycelic Infrantry or Centauri Mage

I do believe these 4 monsters are good enough to put a fight against yodin, If mana cap isn't yet reached, adding Goblin Psychic and Doctor blight might help a lot.

That is an interesting composition, but that's at least 25 mana. It can work, but Mycelic Slipspawn has 1 speed so you can't count on his damage very much, and almost all your damage comes from Return Fire. Don't know how much this would work, but to be honest Yodin Zaku has not many counters in lower leagues, the guy is just a freaking monster.

Sadly, Yodin gets a free pass in almost all battles in most battles, Silver League and below. When climbing up from Silver League, I still sometimes lose to a Lvl 1 Yodin with Lvl 2 monster cards even though I have am using Lvl 4+ Summoners & monsters.
It gets easier once you are in Gold League with the higher lvl cards....

I've had a chance against Zaku by playing Lir deepswimmer with Sea Monster and crustacean king + Axemaster for the damage, really works if yodin is level 1.

You're right Mycelic Slipspawn will get killed even before launching its attack! Sadly we only have Centauri Mage with Return Fire and I really want to try this composition to see if it works or not (as you said we need a 25+ mana ruleset)
Zaku is too OP in bronze/silver.
