Friday Update – ROIDS

Welcome to a round up of the week. We have our latest Merry Melee rotation and more:

Merry Melee Rotation

Welcome to another wild week of Merry Melee with Ryan Sutherland, aka HEXRysu. This week we’ve decided to give the reins of deckbuilding over to a robot with our ROID format. Like many of our Merry Melees, you won’t have to provide a deck for ROID, but instead our Randomly-Optimized-Insta-Deck will be provided for both you and your opponent.

In this format, you’ll be playing with decks of one or two random shards, but the contents of the decks are completely random from Standard cards. These decks can be kind of all over the place with a mono-blood Assault/Scorpinox/Blightbark/Uruunaz deck facing off against a Ruby-Sapphire Runic/Discard/Portal deck. You never know what you’ll need to use to win next. To help you out, the ROID Bot has a powerful charge power to help keep your hand full of options (Pay 4 Charges to draw two cards), but it will all come down to who can optimize their plays the best!
