Board Game Arena

This thread helped me so much to get better at this game. And I have the impression not only me, as I have the impression that level of play in arena mode is increasing. So thanks to everone involved.

Thank you so much for this info.
Regular level are increased in this lasts months for this Tier lists.
Great players you are very generous!

Congrats Fletchesse! Numer 1 on ELO both in Arena and Historic!

I think this is an excellent post and huge thanks for the effort.
But as someone who recently climbed to rank1 I just want to say, don't follow the advice blindly. My tier list would be very different, I fully agree on some of the stuff like UFO, Vendor and Vampire, but for example I very rarely take sailor, because it's synergy with UFO is really bad.

I think Sailor is a tough card to value correctly. I've been moving away from picking Sailor so much and I feel it's hurt my win rate pretty bad. But at the same time I've also lost big on Sailor before. I think it's a card that's a lot stronger in the midgame than the endgame, since it's easier to juggle a 7th unique when you still have a lot of unpaired cards (which is not where you want to be late game) and strength 2 is more likely to contribute meaningfully when B cards are still a minority. Sometimes it doesn't pan out and needs to cut, but hey, that's basically how A cards work sometime, and if it helps snag a couple extra trophies in the meantime that takes a lot of pressure off the last couple rounds since a bad draw won't knock you out of the running.
