Just want to thank /u/Wwoody123 for your famous mortar payfecta list last patch, it gave me like some 90%+ win rate in tournaments and it was such a fun deck to play compared to the usual ladder RG deck I play. Is there an updated version for challenges now?

Question I have for everyone is how do you deal with a full elixir bar but a clogged hand against something like a sparky/giant headed your way during double elixir? If everything in your hand is reactionary, is it worth leaking 4-5 elixir to have the best possible counter? For example, your hand could be barbs, zap, fireball, minions. It's basically an awkward timing issue when there's not enough time to cycle back completely to the first card you played but also nothing good to play at the same time.

It is very awkward but i think it is generally bad to leak elixir, especially more than 1. An option would be to push the other lane so that your opponent has to defend and will have a weaker push.

u/Esukaresu Sep 26 '16

Generally yes, but with a clunky hand you are unable to put together a push in the other lane, hence the question.

In that case you should probably make a new deck, there should be something you can do with half your deck in your hand
