Stage 4 is when you commit to the fast 9 strategy. Level to 7 at Stage 4-1 with a small rolldown (10-20 gold) to stabilize. Then save everything for level 8 at Stage 4-5 or 5-1, and push to level 9 at Stage 5-2 or 5-5. Your 5-cost units (Shyvana, Mel , Azir) come online at level 9.
At level 9, roll for your 5-cost legendaries: Shyvana, Mel , Azir. Each 2-star legendary significantly increases your win probability. At this point, you should be one of the strongest boards in the lobby. Position to counter the remaining 2-3 players.
