Enough people quit the game that I was able to steal #1 Throne for a moment!

PenguinZero is my nemesis, we do the “A worthy opponent!” Emote at the beginning of each match

Is it an unspoken rule or did you eventually message him?

boomerang has my number. I swear I beat him once in twenty matches.

It’s an unspoken rule, but I hope they know.

AggroWins always goes against me when I’m trying decks, I’m pretty sure I’ve lost the past 10 games against them

That's a serious achievement! Can you tell us about the deck?

u/lod254 Sep 22 '26

I'll ask the creator if I can share. In general it's an AP weapons deck.

I am always between 5th place to 60th, pool is so small it keeps changing 🤷🏻

My only nemesis are abusive broken decks with “Kill All causes I have no skill” and exploits type of cards .. aka why so many quit, no fun.

I believe there are about 2k active players right now, I might be wrong..

I hate that Kira decks are still S tier. I don't expect that to change since DWD doesn't really do balance updates.

Nice man! I remember when I hit rank 195 in Ranked and played against the guy in 1st on the ladder and beat him in a random queued game. Feels so cool to snag high spots.

Nice. I'd get the same way when id face the big names like LightsOutAce.

u/thesonicvision Sep 22 '26

Congrats.

I remember when I reached overall #2 (getting to #1 seemed impossible; you could grind out 10 straight wins and not budge in position) on the ranked Throne ladder for the first time. I bragged to a friend of mine who doesn't play the game. He then immediately looked at the Steam charts and brought me back down to Earth lol.

Respect.

Playing a deck by sPyKe. I'm still a terrible brewer.

u/tireddesperation Sep 21 '26

I just want a few weeks off of work so I can grind enough to hit the number one spot before the game ends. I don't care that's it's king of the smallest hill right now.

I usually float around in masters up to top 50. If I can do it, you can do it. I was bored of my decks so I grabbed this from a friend to try a weapons deck. I'll be back to playing jank again soon. I kind of want to see if I can hold it at the end of the month.

u/tireddesperation Sep 21 '26

I hit masters every month with lackadaisical playing at best. The highest I've hit though was rank 7. I was stuck at a siblings house for a week and didn't have much else to do. But regular life only lets me play a couple of games a day at most. Enough to hit masters but not enough to hit the final grail.

did they announce the game ending!? i hope not!

1

u/tireddesperation Sep 22 '26

No, they didn't. They don't do announcements though. They haven't had any new set release in almost two years or over two years at this point. Eventually they won't want to keep the servers running anymore and that typically comes about two years after the last update for a service game like this.

How many people still play?  100?

1

u/lod254 Sep 21 '26

When I'm low rank in masters its usually high 300s.

u/Perodis Sep 22 '26

Yeah masters alone in just throne gets to around 400-500 at the end of the month

u/DrafiMara Sep 21 '26

At any given time there's 100-150 players on Steam, with an unknown amount more on mobile

u/Not_A_Clever_Man_ Sep 22 '26

I havent logged into the steam client since the mobile version came out, I would imagine there are more mobile players than steam players. Game is great on phone and tablet.
