OMG!!!!

I thought I would never have a better match than my epic mirror "Swiper no Swiping" match vs. Mana, but this one takes the cake! I think I held you at 10/9 on two regions for something like 20-30 days, before winning when you had 2 cards left, and I'd had none in my deck for days already. Really wish I recorded that. Always a pleasure to play you!

Mana, you will appreciate this... It was with your original swiper deck, no expansion cards, against a media/thief rush with new cards. Bronto will say he got off to a slow start with no early PP, but I'll pre-empt him by saying I also had a rubbish start, no early PP either, and only one early PYP

i do the swiper deck is still competitive id say. but not as strong as before. red kinda causes some problems now... but i guess i am just still playing it wrong. atm sadly not much time to play

[thest4lker]

Yeh, my play time is down to. But it's definately still competitive, in fact, possibly the only pre-expansion build --that still is. I'm still getting a win ration of 75-85% with it, but I've been become a bit of an expert at it, and I don't think someone could just pick it up and achieve that...

Watch out for very early Piri. Then all your cards can become target for scientific espionage. That one card makes your deck much harder to play. (no copying or counters will work).

Yeah good game.

I was rushing my 500 credits with this Thieves deck while playing Diablo 3 at the same time and this game pretty much broke my rythm. It was too long and I got to focus on it (reducing my focus on my inferno act 2 farm^^) knowing that I lost the game after day 5 or 6... I was surprised by my deck and its capacity to survive this long. It is not supposed to Win if my opp is still alive after a few days.

You should definitely improve your deck with some new cards. I see no reasons not to and many good cards to add.

I'm enjoying the challenge of playing with this old deck
