Have you ran this through the Combat Simulator to see what is says your % chance of winning is?

By the way, I agree with the previous poster, having main Major deck of Passion, Fairy, or Nature gives you the best chance of winning here. But it is not required.

Just doing some quick math and looking at your deck, here is my personal opinion. If you run this deck through the Combat simulator, my guess is that it will either tell you that your chance of winning is either ~14% or if it is doing its job correctly, it will tell you that your chance of winning is ~7%.

If you are actually watching what is happening, here is what needs to happen with your deck for you to win Stage 68:

First your Lizard priest needs to come out first! ( 1/7 =~14% chance)

Second your Lizard priest needs to have its First Strike go before the Vandal Queen's first strike. I do not know how this is determined, but I am guessing it is 50/50. ((1/7)*.50)=7%. Then your Lizard Priest eliminates the Vandal Queen with its First Strike and will do 1811 points to the enemy. Not enough to win, but comes close. After that your cards look like they are powerful enough beat the other cards and win Stage 68, I could be wrong about your cards, but the Combat Simulator should give you a better idea of your chances.

You could have been very unlucky so far. I once had deck that the Combat simulator said had a 22% chance of winning ~1/5. It took me about 20 times before the stars aligned for me and I won.

Based on your Hero hit points of 2109 you have been around for a long time, so you may have lots of different options try them out on the Combat Simulator and see what it says.

Basically to get passed the Vandal Queen or Lizard priest you need to have one of the following happen.


 * 1) You need to have a card that can withstand the Vandal Queens first strike and then bounce the Vandal Queen out in the normal attack. I have seen this happen several ways in a Major set with the 75% bonus. Have a card with a very large HP value, for example an Amazon with close to 7000HP. A card with less HP like 4500 or more and but with an artifact like the personal shield that deflects 40% of the attack. (But like with your Lizard priest it is not guaranteed that shield happens before the First Strike. Again I do not know for sure, but I assume it is a 50/50 shot which occurs first.) Or an artifact like Lucky Dodge where you might Dodge the First Strike and then attack first and eliminate the Vandal Queen.
 * 2) Or you can have an Artifact that gives you a shot of attacking first. Examples that I have seen work. With enough power to eliminate the Vandal Queen before its First Strike : First Strike (like your Lizard Priest has), Lighting like my Savage has (of course 80% of its attack has to be enough to eliminate the Lizard Priest), Fire Ball (here you need a case where 60% of the attack value can eliminate the Vandal Queen, it it needs to be on a Card with a higher attack than the Lightening bolt. I am sure that there are others, but I can not personally attest to them.) I do not know for sure that all artifacts have a chance to go before the Vandal Queen's First Strike, nor do I know for sure what the % chance is of them going first. But I can personally attest to seeing the ones listed above work.

Just remember if you are unlucky you could have the correct card come out once, twice, thrice or even more times and not see it work. It is very frustrating when that happens. Then you have to burn more gems to keep trying until it does works.

But again the best thing to do is run the Combat Simulator to see if it says you have any chance at all. I am not sure that the Combat Simulator works real well with Vandal Queen. But if it says that you have a chance, then you probably do have a chance, it just may be less than what the Combat simulator says it is. And always watch the actual action, that way you know what can work. If your current deck does not work on the Combat Simulator, then set up some other decks and try them with the Combat Simulator.
