Get Out Of The Trench With Thaddius Brood

To get out of the Bronze, just spam Thaddius Brood.

Why you should listen to me?

I climbed from Novice to Diamond in just 2 days of rental (see part 1 and part 2) so I have some idea on how to climbing the league.

Main Ingredients

Important cards to choose when spam Thaddius Brood:

Thaddius Brood

Thaddius Brood

➕ Really help to deal with magic monsters, reduce monster health and synergize with Necrosi
➕ Low mana
➕ Death is cool, @cryptomancer would agree with me

Cursed Windeku

Cursed Windeku

➕ Huge health
➕ Thorns is just the icing on the cake

➖ Weak against magic attack

Magi Necrosi

Magi Necrosi

➕ Main weapon to neutralize support monsters at the back with the snipe ability
➕ Fast, most monsters in Bronze have 3 or less speed
➕ Camouflage to hide from sneak, opportunity and snipe monsters

Desserts

Both of these cards are not necessarily needed but could really help Cursed Windeku and Magi Necrosi:

Weirding Warrior

Weirding Warrior

➕ Low mana
➕ Shatter to get rid of tank with a lot of armor

➖ Low attack
➖ Low health

Ever-Hungry Skull

Ever-Hungry Skull

➕ 1 health to attract opportunity away from Weirding Warrior
➕ High armor
➕ Flying for dodge chance

➖ 1 health, weak against magic monsters or monsters with poison ability

Strategy

When drafting, use this card positioning in this exact order to get the best result:

Explanation

Cursed Windeku
📝 Main tank for this strategy

Weirding Warrior
📝 Can destroy enemy armor quickly with shatter ability but weak against opportunity monsters

Ever-Hungry Skull
📝 A "shield" for Weirding Warrior and Magi Necrosi in later stage of the game

Magi Necrosi
📝 Main weapon because of magic attack and speed
📝 One shot / do serious damage to enemy support monsters
📝 Put it in the last position so it can survive until the end, don't worry sneak monster not able to attack because of camouflage ability

Example Battle

📝 Battle link
📝 Necrosi already do some damage towards Crystalsmith in round 1
📝 Weirding Warrior shred Chwala's armor
📝 Ever-Hungry Skull bait Harpy from Sapper and Weirding Warrior

---

📝 Battle link
📝 Necrosi one shot all those pesky support monsters
📝 Ever-Hungry Skull bait Deep Lurker, and got some dodge too 🤭
📝 Use 0 or 1 mana monsters to fill in the gap in between Windeku and Weirding Warrior

---

📝 Battle link
📝 Low mana ruleset? Try Riftwing for Windeku alternative

End Note

This strategy should bring you from Novice to Bronze 1.

It is going to be a bit hard to apply and spam Thaddius Brood in Bronze 1 as there will be more ruleset variations and Death splinter is not always available.

I recommend to use Kelya or Obsidian (focus on magic) depending on the rulesets to climb to Silver.

That's all for this post, thank you for reading.
