    What makes Kiora seem mana crazy is the fact that she is mana crazy. Nissa gets 3 mana and 3 green gems for 9 loyalty. Kiora gets 6 mana for 6 loyalty. Do the math. And drains 6 from your opponent for free.

    havent seen any kiora deck (im barely playing nowadays) but you are forgetting 2 things
    1) nissa also gain health with her ability now (yeah, doesnt matter, but there should be a cost to that)
    2) as nissa you get 3 guaranteed mana and a chance of more which could be 5 (which surpasses kiora gain) but also could be 6, or a cascade for even more)

    that being said nissa's skill was overnerfed, she shouldnt gain health and it should cost 7 or something like that

    kiora is definitly the top plainswalker right now, but they cant nerf anything without data. So when you can earn her for free and trends start to show they'll nerf her. No point in complaining till then lol. Gidian and nissa are still very good. Jace can still contend, but you have to run thopter spy network and tezzert is definitly a better version of jace right now. I also want to say ive been first 3 times and top 8 more than 10 times and i havent spent a dime this game is definitly not pay to win...

    i just finshed a 24 win run with Chandra (level 30). The only reason i lost was because of a disconnect.

    Are these kind of streaks normal? The nerf didnt really affect my deck since i mainly use Chandra's second ability for board control.

    This is my deck

    Creatures
    Scab-Clan Berserker
    Ghirapur Gearcrafter (Fiery Conclusion fodder)
    Enthralling Victor

    Spells
    Chandra's Fury
    Lightning Javelin
    Smash to Smithereens
    Fiery Conclusion

    Supports
    Molten Vortex
    Looming Spires
    Ghirapur Aether Grid

    I'm pretty sure this deck can be improved as well

    no you just have to grind, alot...also you probably benefited from drop rates and rune packs when the game first released, maybe not. but as it is now, new players will have a much more difficult time reaching the top

    You get a ton of free crystals from doing the story line. It's definitly a big grind though no doubt there...

    Yes. You can rack up 100+ wins in a row if that's your goal.

    The trade-off is that your deck will be slower, and you'll have to play more deliberately, so you'll win fewer ribbons per hour in PvP mode and win smaller prizes.

    Please note that in PvP mode, you're not playing against another human. You're playing against a computer who is piloting another human's deck. That's what they mean when they say "real opponents ahead".

    So, you have significant advantages. The computer player doesn't sequence cards well, never discards, doesn't use much strategy, often chooses sub-optimal targets, often uses the wrong loyalty ability, etc.

    All this is probably fine, since most people would probably rage-quit the game if the computer player always made optimal choices.
