It varies. Most of the decks practically mirror mine, trade Trypticon for Bumblebee, some are better thanks to the Grimlock parade. What starts to happen further down is that the game switches up mechanics. Sure you get to attack first against easy decks, then those decks get harder. Then the decks get easier again, but they attack first, and then the decks get harder. Then it goes back to easier decks, but your damage seems less, theirs seems more, or they crit more often, etc, etc, and then the decks get harder. Rinse and repeat. It's like a progression of waves. Lots of people can handle hard decks with one cube, but what if the other guy goes first, increases damage, and so on. It's what forces the bigger guys like me to drop more cubes rather than just one cubing my way through most.

For the record, he still had 3 r5s and was no chump, but I'm guessing his deck was still set up from the last campaign.

I wasn't even planning on playing last night, but was watching the Blackhawks game and fired up the phone. Next thing I know, I had progressed all three ranks, and ripped off that streak. All that was worth almost 11 mil. Rank 250 at the time was about 30000, so I think I'll farm a bit ;) Already fallen from 3rd to 10th, so obviously others are doing it too. Once you get past 50 streak, it doesn't cost that much to just 3 cube everything and you are making 60k per cube.
