Greetings!

I started playing this deck a long time ago before the change, because it was just so cheap compared to Midrange Nature. It seemed like it would be decent, but I did not know why I thought about it since this deck was basically just a Heal Light deck (without Surgelight). But, in the end, this deck took me to Mythic rank for the first time!

This kind of control light deck's win rate suddenly spiked up during the past few weeks, especially in mythic rank, so I was curious and I tried it out.

Deck

This deck uses Blade of the Creator and Prophet of Progress for the win condition. To get to high health, it uses multiple 'normal' heal methods like The Circle or more importantly, Shimmering Spire for the extra push at the 7~8 mana. You could also throw in some Surgelights, if you want to use this deck like Heal Light. However, it is not going to work good in your decks.

However, Crystal Vespid and Tithe Collectors are the main heal combo in this deck. If you play Tithe Collector and Crystal Vespid, Tithe Collector heals your god for 1 and Crystal Vespid summons another one and it keeps on going until the board is full. To maximize this, use Black Sheep to find those cards faster, and Inescapble Duty to use it again.

Most times, you would be just sitting there, using GP to heal until 50 (or 80, if you are going to win with 1 Prophet). Against some of the decks, it would take a long times, but the games could end quickly, if they are able to get aggressive fast.

Best Ranks to use it

Mythic is the best place to use it surprisingly, with over 62% win rate in mythic for the last 3 days.

Surprisingly, it doesn't work well in lower ranks like Solar Gold. You can see that there is no Light deck at the Top 6 of Solar Gold decks.

Explanation

Not much to say here, but you should try to use the Tithe, Crystal combo more, which means trying to survive Tithe Collector for 1~2 turns more. Also, you need to survive against Aggro decks, and also try to outheal against Control decks that plays until Fatigue.

Battle

For this battle we have Deception as the opponent with Stealth instead of Thievery. Stealth makes the game more faster, which should be either good or really bad for me. This version of the deck uses Guiding Light and Radiant Embalmer.

1 Mana

I went second, and I used pip to use Blade and healed using GP.

2 Mana

I heal using GP. Not much to do in those early games.

3 Mana

I heal again. It is good to see Eucos + Light and Luster, and also Crystal Vespid since it is one of the combo pieces. Faith Eternal is also good.

4 Mana

Light and Luster to deal 1 damage to Whisper Baron is not good for me, but it is necessary to surge Faith Eternal and also to clear the board.

5 Mana

I get Onyx from the Sanctum to take down their Switch Dualist at the next turn. I also draw a card with Faith Eternal. Here I could've used Prayer of the Desperate, but I forgot to use it.

5.5 Mana

They hid the Dualist so nothing to do here than healing and using Prayer of the Desperate.

6 Mana

I finally gets the combo but my board is kind of full here, so I use Guiding Light to get the Prophet and also to surge The Circle.

6.5 Mana

Dark Knives makes clearing it more harder also with Stealth GP. I use The Circle and Tithe Collector + Vespid combo.

7 Mana

I was kind of hoping that it would clear Dualist but no... Instead it reduced its strength. I GP to get my board full with Vespids and also to use Inescapable Duty to both Surge Shimmering Spire and Prohpet of Progress, as well as to get the combo pieces back.

7.3 Mana

Pietro makes things more complicated, but I get the perfect top deck which is Eucos in Eclipse, which clears all units in this board since they all have 1 health. (Switch Dualist has 1 strength) The Vespids are kind of wasted in this situation but it also clears their units. I get Gleamweaver from the sanctum.

7.6 Mana

I use Lips are Sealed to stall things for a little bit. I still did not used Shimmering Spire, but I should've used it here.

8 Mana

I am in a good position but I do a slight misplay here. Combat Medic is actually Olympian and therefore would gain +3/+3 from Aegis of the Innocent.

8.25 Mana

They go all in on Lokian by buffing, but I have another Lips are Sealed which completely stalls the opponent here. I also use Combat Medic.

8.5 Mana

I finally use Shimmering Spire. One step closer to winning! Their board is still pretty much stalled with Order, so they can't do a lot of things here except using new creatures.

8.75 Mana

I finally use Prophet of Progress. It gains +13/+13, and I attacked it with Godblitz. GG!

Outro

GU made some changes regarding the Rewards, and since many people play for the rewards, they tried to give more rewards to the dedicated players by not giving rewards from rank 1~6, where there were a lot of bots with just shiny decks. This change could be good or bad, but I think it would be not friendly to new players which could result in a decline in players.
