Notes & Combos
Got to M1 with Chimera last month, but back to Branded after a short break. Comfiest deck of them all.
Usually Diamond 2->1 is impossible but this season it was Master 2->1 that posed a challenge instead. My Masters winrate going into M2 was somewhere north of 75%, but the variance went the other way towards the end... Overall ended up 36 - 20 (~64.29%), which is fine I suppose.
Results of games I played through my Masters climb are included below along with whether I was otp or otd (except for one game I didn't manage to record...). No apologies for the lazy formatting.

Replays
416-443-540
Most of my replays are Branded, though many of them are slightly different decklists depending on when they were saved. I barely played against SE of any type this season, unfortunately, but I believe I have a bunch of replays vs FKSE and SE-RACE from the past couple of months.
