I ran into your C1 last week during the TotP @Ohboy and was wondering what in the world was going on. I found it so odd that you were running her that I even took a screen shot.
Anyway, interesting results. Nice job clearing them all. I do think there is a pretty large element of luck, especially on the green and blue nodes. I have run into a lot of waterviel/hydra decks and scrapheap decks that can give my mythic heavy decks issues at times, especially in legendary mode.
Out of curiosity, did you enjoy the experience or was it painful having to play with weak PWs and less efficient cards?

However, some of those decks are half rares--I'm not sure how many newer platinum players will have those selections of rares (for the life of me I cannot get Solemn Recruit or Aethersphere Harvester, for example). Curious what you would think of restricting the number of rares in such an experiment.

Well, I don't think the decks will actually be very good. But I do have Dynavolt, Gonta, AWM, Planar Bridge, Hok, MWC, and Archive which are all colorless, so I can definitely get to 10 lol.
Day 1: Black
This deck has pretty much no synergies. It is practically impossible to trigger Gonti unless you are playing against a energizing opponent. I did get a couple of AWM triggers. The only removal are fat arsed blockers and boomship. Strategy includes and is mostly limited to discarding your hand and then reviving them. I apologize for splashing the worst masterpiece in the game (arguably) but I needed something cheap to cast for more energy gems.
Regardless, 8-0 with the deck even though it is admittedly terrible. I got lucky and never ran into Olivia or really much of anything other than some zombies and Ob's.

Also I love this @Ohboy thanks for sharing.
