Gargs and Swimmer deck

My last deck about Smash's Secret Agent Swimmer deck got scrapped and I want to come up with new ways to make my Swimmer strong in early game. I used Garg deck as their stats can make my Swimmer very strong and they are replaceable for DSG because she cost 2 to have powerful stats. But problem is that I can't seem to keep my Gargologist alive relentless of the Conehead environment. Is there any good synergy and strategy to make play Garg and Swimmer at the same turn in the early game? I used my experience,lots of thoughts on the cards and I think it's not enough to be a strong deck.

  • I know I'm not terribly experienced, but it looks like your main problem is that you have far too many high-cost cards.  Gargologist is the only card you have to reduce cost, and will be a very tempting target as soon as it hits the table.  Having a few Flag Zombies may help bring costs down even more, as well as making your Gargologists and Swimmers cheaper!

    Also, having some more low-cost plant removal tricks may be useful, too.  Getting a gargantuar out on turn 3 may be exciting and fun, but it would probably be more realistic to shoot for stalling a few turns and then overwhelming with a constant stream of heavy-hitters.

    Escape through Time is also Hearty, isn't it?  Those could help keep your Gargologists out early, and can still be very useful late-game, too!  It also allows you to conjure a card, and having more options is always good!

  • Precisely that. I never liked Garg decks, they are too risky. Yes, a couple of Gargologists help you play your gargs on turn 3 or 4, but if you don't have them you will be sitting with a bunch of high cost cards in your hand until too long.

    I've always liked to play lots of small zombies rather than a few big ones.

    If they are too risky, whats even Important playing Smash as he has no synergy cards that aren't risky.

    I made the Secret Agent deck with Swimmer before and it didn't work out and has 1/10 win rate. Even I played it right.

    I need some way to update the cards and I tried learning and there seems to be no way to update this. I tried.

    What is good for Smash's deck even good because he has no drawing cards to lose and i think there's no important decks. Man, he was my favorite hero and you guys blow it for me. I thought he had good decks.

    You can play beast or sport decks with The Smash. Those are far more reliable (at least for me) in terms of consistency.

    Can you send me you deck? I want to try your version of it. My sport deck can be killed easily and my pet decks always died easily at least before the HoverGoat comes.

    All sport and beast decks can be killed easily, mi deck is no different.

    But sure, try it for yourself. I'm almost sure it doesn't change much from other sport decks.

    My favoured for Sports is Rustbolt.  My deck is a little all over the place, but it gives me a ~75% win rate.  I like that it's has most low value cards so I can play a lot early.

    I think your Energy Drink Zombie in the Sports deck is really weak on any situations. I'll change him  for weed spray.

    You have so much All-Star in your deck and I only have 1. I'll just bring the Escape Through Time and camel crossings.

    Also, your Rustbolt deck looks random and less of a sports deck. I think I need to add Bad Moon Risings for that.
