This is an absolute joke. Another shockingly garbage event put together by D3.
Gontis Aether Heart in that deck is obsene.
I just had her down to 52hp and i was on 102 max hp with Nahiri. He had a Gontis out and ended up with 8 extra goes… continously. he then turned his double strike mythic into a massive thing with Saheelis Artisan…
What an absolute joke.
Here you go new players have no chance pf getting a booster pack and other players get lucky.
Uh, what rare?
booater pack…rare
Perfect example of another event designed to make the average to above average player fail. You think this makes me want to purchase more cards and packs to be able to win? Think again. Yes I have spent cash on this game, more than I would like to admit, but I can’t see spending more if this is the direction the designers choose to go. Total garbage.
Beat her first try, at full health (not that I didn’t take any damage), and met all the goals.
What was your deck?
I’m just getting swamped regardless of what I do.
Aren’t you a &#_ing hero !
Smug enough to post you did it, but no insight in the how…
I managed to get lucky and beat her my second try using the following deck:
Nissa2
Creatures:
Architect of the Untamed
Cultivator of Blades
Arborback Stomper
Longtusk Cub
Spells:
Scour from Existence
Attune with Aether
Supports:
Nissa’s Pilgrimage
Corrupted Grafstone
Deadlock Trap
Fabrication Module
I was able to get a Cultivator down first, followed by Fabrication Module. This helped bump Cultivator up each turn with all of the energized gems out on the field. Then an Architect of the Untamed, who was able to get a few of her mechanical beasts out onto the field. Then, used Nissa2’s ultimate to bump them all up to about 150/150 or so, and with Cultivator sharing his strength, Architect and Mechy were both around 300 power or so.
Beat her at first try as well, with creatureless ObNix; although it took over 2 hours and 120 turns, as my only energizer was Die Young.
Deck:
Llanowar Wastes (don’t have anything better for him)
Brain in a Jar
Aetherflux Reservoir
Alhammarret’s Archive
Creeping Dread
Transgress the Mind
Infinite Obliteration
Die Young
Grip of Desolation
To the Slaughter
The idea is remove all energy from the board with Die Young, keep discarding her hand with Creeping Dread and spells, and kill creatures that sneak by with spells (or 2nd ability). Once the energy objective is fulfilled, use ObNix’s 3rd ability and finish the match.
Be prepared for repeated token and energy generation via her first ability, support destruction via Release the Gremlins, and massive energizing via Aethertide Whale.
One turn she got a lucky cascade and cast Aethertide Whale, Lightning Runner and Saheeli’s Artistry on the runner, which became 22/22 double striker with haste.
Sorry, I was working, and didn’t have time to document the build at that time.
I ran this:
Creatures:
Electrostatic Pummeler
Lone Rider
Solemn Recruit
Spells:
Anchor to the Aether
Imprisoned In The Moon
Supports:
Decoction Module
Era of Innovation
Hixus, Prison Warden
Sphinx’s Tutelage
Thopter Spy Network
It seems obvious that d3 are trying to include a challenge for the top players. Do you disagree with that as a goal? Or if you agree with the goal, how do you propose this could be implemented while making all nodes easily winnable for all players?
If your only concrete suggestion is to place the booster lower in the reward sequence to help newer players grow their collection (which I actually agree with), then it could be stated a lot more constructively. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the threads in which devs actually pop in and comment almost universally contain positive constructive feedback, and not aggro rants.
for those still stuck, could try using sorin.
strategy is to gain more life than the smaller opponent
creatures can damage. use lone rider etc for this.
kill cheaply(grip of desolation) anything that gets too
big. cast an energise card and then use die young to
immediately clear the energy. defeat your opponent
and energise right at the end to achieve objectives.
add destroy support where needed.
this strategy has worked before on node 3.2 energise
10. I haven’t tried it but can see it working with maybe
some tuning.

Took 40 minutes with OB
Corrupted Graftstone
Unlicensed Disintegration
Tamiyo’s Journal
Behold the Beyond
Grip of Desolation
Aetherflux Reservoir
Creeping Dread
Die young
Gonti’s Machinations
Live fast
Creeping dread is the whole key to this deck. Man oh man She is a tough bird but without cards to play she is nothing special. I found the unlicensed to be a bit much but honestly I am extremely weak black (just got my grip this week)
Happy hunting
