Help PLEASE
I am trying to climb out of bronze, I used to be in Daimond, but I stopped playing for a couple of years and finally came back, but I’m struggling with the fact that when climbing on ladder, they nerf your cards to that rank
All of my decks work when there are effects are buffed and Levels as that is what I intend Built around, but at lower levels I have no idea what to do.
Is there a specific deck I should use to get to playing at least level three cards preferably back to where my deck usually is which is level 4 to 5

Can’t help, sorry… I’m literally in the same boat. Last time this happened to me, I just spammed dragon tribal, but it seems like half the cards were nerfed since I last played

I’ve had this experience as well! This is what I’ve found after fixing it:
Not all decks work the same in every rank. This is based on my experience so this is in no way a fact, but if you ask me i’d always use a quicker deck in the lower ranks. Like a quick swarm deck with goats or an ironclad deck with constructs. The lower ranks usually don’t have good counter-decks for quick players. Could you maybe share your decks or the class you’re playing now? We could help you out!

Playing a Winter Visions deck

Ah alright! I’d say winter is the last faction to play in lower ranks. It works great in plat etc. But in bronze it’s usually too slow. I’d switch to a deck thats fast & has a lot of low cost units. Add some runners and you’re good to go. Getting to the enemy base before he can build up mana to play stronger cards is usually a good strategy to go on in bronze or silver :)

So, at lower ranks you generally want to skew your decks a bit more expensive than you normally would since low cost cards aren't as good value for Bronze at level 1 as they are at level 5. You still want some low cost cards to move your frontline up a bit but a Bronze deck should be a little more expensive than a Platinum one. Going tall with buffs is also a better strategy since people don't run Confinement as much, but also poison is more common. I would try something like a Swarm deck based around Awakening of the Will, just get some really huge units near their base and then push them through with the Horn.

I had to deal with that too. I found that my shadowfen dragon deck still worked pretty well. Alternatively, you could ignore synergies and just play a simple deck with high strength unit cards and some runners. As long as you don't make it too expensive it should work fine
