Gargoyles in Quick Games

[rurp]

For me gargoyle decks are by far the least fun to run into in quick games. It's usually obvious who will win after the first round but the games can drag on forever. They are fine in pro mode but countering those decks in a quick game leaves a player vulnerable to many other decks. Restricting them to pro mode, changing the card somehow so it plays out faster, or adding a card that counters them while also being useful in other respects would all be welcome changes.

Hi Player,

Thanks for your feedback. Can you provide more details on how Gargoyles are affecting the balance in quick mode games? What are the decks that include gargoyles bother you the most.

Yeah I pretty much always have a blade master in my quickmodde deck for this reason. If I know I'm gonna loose a long boring battle, I concede.

It's a gameplay issue, not a balancing one. The problem with them is that that they lead to long drawn out games where the winner is aparent one turn in. When I play a gargoyle deck I usually watch the first 10s play out then set the phone down and go do something else for a few minutes since there's no drama.

There is a surrender button now

Also, if you have no blade master, i think a good solution to annoying gargoyles is TROLL.

Gargoyles are very easy to beat and one of my favorite decks to play in quick mode and hardcore. True it takes forever and its obvious from the start who will win but its not the Gargoyles fault. The majority of players build decks that are weak all around and easily exploited.

I use 2 Gargoyles, Goddess Favor, Healing, and 2 Summertime. How do you win? Blade Master, Elves Seduction, blizzard, thundergods wrath, haste, chain lightning, dragon general... I could keep going. The problem is most people don't play those cards in Quick Mode and that's because they don't realize how effective all of them are against all types of decks. Dragon General + Haste is a one shot on a Gargoyle if you have enhanced them. So is blade master as we all know. Blizzard prevents there defense from going up and is actually one of the best and least used cards for quick mode.

Personally I only use two decks for quick mode because every time i get creative i get served. One deck is the gargoyles, and my Gargoyles always beat the other guys Gargoyles, the other is more effective but boring yet will always beat gargoyles and just about eveeything else. Remember quick mode is all about luck.

I think the main problem is the prevelance of the gargoyle decks. I like to change my decks alot to keep me entertained and interested. So always having to select my quick mode deck with one or two cards dedicated to gargoyles is repetative and boring. And usually when i dont encounter for a gargoyle is when i face them =)
