Finally made it out of Diamond and got to master but it took quite a while this set.
After I re-prioritized econ augments again the climb was pretty smooth but it was rough for a few days.

The patch isn't perfect but I do think once they balance the outliers Set 16 can deliver on the flex play promise.
The endgame boards might look like the same 5 cost soup, but I've had a lot of fun assembling plans in stages 3 and 4 to get me to 9 and not always the standard lines. #TFT

Finished reading over all the stuff revealed for #TFT Set 16 so far and it's... a lot.
Definitely seems like a set with a high skill cap which means I could easily be still learning new things hundreds of games in.
Which is great for creating guides, so pretty stoked!

Oof second #silksong steel soul run ended after a bit of carelessness. Got pretty far with this one too.
Probably run it back one more time and this time actually use Fractured Mask. Not sure why I thought it would be a good idea to not have it...

I'll try again at the next one though!

Please, it's common courtesy to give your opponent at least one fight with their 3 * 4 cost / 5 cost or Prismatic trait, and then you can FF to save time.
