Love the vid! I'm an MTG player but I'm loving Altered! Built a Waru deck and would love some more tips on the mirror and playing against Fen and Afanas as they seem to be the meta as of the moment
@@XavDaMeerkat glad you are enjoying Altered! I might focus on other heroes for a few videos because I know a lot of people are tired of Waru, but it is one of my favorite heroes so I'm sure I'll circle back to the deck! If you are seeking tips you can also ask questions on the ExAlts Discord or send me some of them in a pm.
Congratulations on your victory! Your deck was really impressive, and I enjoyed watching your video about it. I’m a big fan of the Axiom faction, especially the standard hero Sierra. Do you think you could make a video about a deck featuring Sierra in the future? I’d love to hear your thoughts on how Axiom, and specifically Sierra, might perform against the blue Waru faction. It would be interesting to know if she has a chance in that matchup. Thanks, and keep up the great work with your videos!
@@SimonPeters-e7p thanks! I have enjoyed Sierra in the past. My schedule is a little booked out but with the tournament over I'm happy to try other decks and will see what I can do!
Well done mate! Sad to see the lack of issitoq and bountiful meadow but I'm guessing while waru is king those troopers are just that much more viable for early game aggression
That's a good assessment. I talk about my thoughts on both of these cards in the next Altered insights podcast too. Look out for that in the coming days!
Its really interesting seeing the uniques affect deckbuilding so much. I pulled a robin hood that draws me cards and I've taken my waru deck in a much more controly, grindy direction. I'm glad that as far as uniques are concerned, we wont ever have completely "solved" decks. I will say the lategame package in waru seems to be the weakest part of my list, and I've already noticed how vital the 1-drop >> 2-drop is on turn 1 so I'll probably be taking a few leads from this list.
@@OxygenOmg having a 1 drop to play on the hero side day 1 if they play something like a baba on the other can be really good. It's also important to play your sleeping bureaucrats at the right time to avoid teamwork training. I do think the matchup can be pretty even so on the days you get ahead you really need to win both sides or sleep 2 bureaucrats to overwhelm them the next day.
I’m currently running a Waru & Mack list but I haven’t been able to get any uniques for it. And recommendations on what I can use for a list without uniques
@@Sarleeg56721 I'd remove the three uniques, a rare sandman, and the paper herald and run another rare frog, 2 common cadets, and 2 common kakoba. I think that kakoba might even be alright as a common to surprise your opponent with some extra stats. If you don't like that you can run 2 common isitoq instead. Let me know how that works!
congrats trickster! 2 questions -- 1. you said that your other two decks you didnt have the phyiscal uniques.... if you did... would you have brought a different deck? 2. in your opinion, what are the best uniques/unique effects for Alfanas?
@@zacwhite3539 I think that Fen and Afanas are on a pretty similar power level to Waru but in all honestly I probably would have still chosen Waru over them because I think he is more consistent and I feel more confident outplaying newer players with his weaker hands. I think the other two will be more likely to lose a couple of games where it will be out of your control. As for Teija if I could pick any 3 uniques I wanted I actually probably would have brought it. I still don't think I'd say that Waru is worse than Teija but as long as you avoid treyst and afanas she should be plenty good into the Top decks. I actually do have the uniques for Treyst but I think the Waru matchup is too poor and for Sig but that hero feels a little underpowered right now.
@@zacwhite3539 for afanas I want cards that let me reuse the best spells over again from the reserve. There is a big disparity between the best and okay spells in the deck. Spindle Harvesters and Reds are often the best.
If you could change anything about the deck or about Waru to help balance the meta and make the deck feel more in line with the rest of the meta, what would you change?
@@bobothehobo4158 I dislike double robin hood. I wish that if two were out the effects didn't stack. The deck is already so good and I don't think it needs the random auto wins on top of it.
@@RarecuisineSaucegod-ig8bc I didn't say. One is just being borrowed so I guess the cost of shipping it twice, one cost around $40 a while back, and the other was $40 +3 trades and shipping. I'm excited for the marketplace. I've gotten a lot of cards like these for around $30-40 but you have to do a lot of looking to find the perfect deal.
I think robin being degenerate was obvious from the beginning, the only reason it wasnt the best deck in starter format was that he was the only good beaurocrat
waru even with a single robin hood feels bad to play against, but not unplayable. when you get 2, or god forbid, even 3 out, it makes me just want to not play the game at all. managed to get a waru mirror on ladder where I managed to get 3 robin hoods out together, it was pretty much over. I think they need to remove the bureaucrat key word and make it not stack
CONGRATS!!!🎉
Thank you!!
Congrats with winning mate! 🎉
Thanks for this very in debt deck guide. I’m not playing Waru at all, but it is still good to learn the deck.
@@TheBravosHatter thank you! Hope the the increased understanding can help you take some of the many Waru players down!
Congrats and thanks for the short video. 30min videos are such more appreciable than 2h videos :)
Merci, très bon format. À refaire.
Congrats 🎉

@@mrfloppylxix9810 I also like that uniques increase the deckbuilding possibilities!
Gj for the win! As Waru, lately, I am struggling against Sigismar...
Any advice?

So the next one will be how to defeat a/your Waru deck, right?
I'll try and get something like that up soon! The next 2 will be 2 other non-waru decks that did well at the event.
Really have to strain my eyes to read any of these cards on my phone
@@TherealLaserdog I added my decklist to the description to help people follow along easier!
congrats trickster! 2 questions --
1. you said that your other two decks you didnt have the phyiscal uniques.... if you did... would you have brought a different deck?
2. in your opinion, what are the best uniques/unique effects for Alfanas?

@@TricksterCG got it - and in your opinion, what are the best uniques/unique effects for Alfanas?
@@zacwhite3539 I think you might have missed my other comment! You should be able to see my answer in a different reply 👍

Sorry if i missed it, but how much did $ you spend on your uniques?

@@TricksterCG thanks . Your transparency is huge for the buying and selling community. Things are difficult without the marketplace
@@RarecuisineSaucegod-ig8bc I’ll probably make another market watch soon. Glad the transparency helps!

@@february7438 I wonder who was hated more in their time on the top, Waru or Sig?
waru even with a single robin hood feels bad to play against, but not unplayable.
when you get 2, or god forbid, even 3 out, it makes me just want to not play the game at all.
managed to get a waru mirror on ladder where I managed to get 3 robin hoods out together, it was pretty much over.

@@bIeaq I would love if they didn’t stack. It doesn’t even feel that good when you’re the one who gets two out because it becomes too free.
