Betsy, Skin in the Game

Let me be the first to show off my deck; Clash and Smash!

It's heavily clash based, and focuses on blocking for 6-7 with 2 cards and attacking for 8-11 with 2 cards. Simple as that! It's really cheap (less than 100€), so I would recommend it for someone who is Betsy curious, but don't want to invest in the expensive generics or guardian staples that are used in more conventional builds.

I'm pretty excited to try out Shield Beater when I get my hands on it. Since I make a lot of Vigor tokens with my clashes, it's a nice way to always have something to spend the fourth resource on.

Oof, armory today was rough. Lost to Levia, Shadowborn Abomination got a bye and and lost to Verdance, Thorn of the Rose. I made some mistakes here and there, but still I think my extremist clash of vigor plan is a bit too polarized for my taste. In some matchups it's awesome and into others it makes a large chunk of the deck useless 3 blocks.

Shield Beater felt a bit meh in this build, since if you have 4 resources there are usually better things to do. I suspect that to be true in many situations in other decks as well, so I'm a bit skeptical about how good it is. Titan's Fist for 4 is such a great floor that is awkward to give up.

Methinks it's better to have a cost curve and card pool that doesn't rely on Vigor. I think Primed to Fight works better as a 2 of and mostly just as a payoff to a Good Time Chapeau or Bet Big setup turn. Getting the aura setup with clashes is a bit too unreliable.

I now realise I've already updated the list, so my above comment doesn't make much sense given what you can see in the link above. I was running rainbow Clash of Vigor and Thunk.
