I saw your message on my wall about 2.9 x-bow, and i gave it some thought and talked it out with another friend of mine who has broken 6k with 2.9 (although i am and ice-bow kinda guy). Your comparison of lemontree and 2.9 is similar to zap bait and kidkid. Kidkid is one, if not the best, log bait players in the history of the game. Is he the best player? No, that would either be morten or surgical goblin. But anyways, comparing one persons success with a certain deck is a bit biased. Both Kidkid and lemontree are KNOWN for their absolute and utter mastery of the decks they play, which is why they can both consistently finish so high on ladder and have such an insane winrate. the way you play 2.9 and ice-bow is also quite a bit different. With 2.9, you cycle defensive teslas, as well as use your archers and ice golem for defense. The thing I dont like about 2.9 is defending is a bit hard if the enemy has a poison or lighting, because that is an automatic counter to ur tesla and ice-bow. However, with ice-bow, the xbow is the main defense, along with ice wiz and tornado. i think having tornado is also HUGE in this meta, thanks to all the miner control and graveyard decks. I will not say that icebow takes more skill, cause i do think that 2.9 is harder thanks to how fast it cycles.

in conclusion, I think its all up to prefrence when deciding what deck to play. I can consistently beat basically any 2.9 player i face with ice-bow, and they have usually broken 6k and up. But me on the other hand, have never been able to break masters I thanks to lvl 11 cards. As to deciding which deck is better, it all depends on the player.
