DrManiac posted:Aww man, I kinda wish they added the most interesting transformation card. Most interesting CYCLE you mean. That card is going to have copies in all shards, according to the original article where the revealed him. Also looks like Bun'jitsu got tweaked, but is still not working. Its now supposed to give 3+combined power and 3+combined toughness but it doesn't. The wording also seems to indicate a bit more clearly that it SHOULD make two of them, not just one. Things that confuse me though: Should the abominations keep any enhancements they had before hand, because it never says to revert them? If you use wild growth, or other 1 turn buff, does it become permanent because the abominations get their stats based on what the P/T was at the time of triggering? Would command tower, in effect, give a +3 to aboms created from creatures it was already buffing, because the abom would have +1 from each creature used to create it, then the +1 constant bonus from the command tower itself? All these effects and ambiguities could probably be cleared up rather easily by just having it say "revert and exhaust two target creatures", but thats no where NEAR as fun. If they do that, I hope they at least lower the cost a bit.

Vincent Valentine posted:p.s.: is anyone having a lot of problems where you play a card, it consumes the resources and then your card just vanishes and nothing happens? It's been happening much much more frequently to me, the last 3 out of 5 games have it happen to me. This is something our engineers are aware of. It rarely happens, but we believe it's due to a connection problem with the server. If this happens again please make a post detailing what happened before the card vanished on the bug forums http://forums.cryptozoic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=111. Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention.

I haven't seen the vanishing cards thing in a while, most recently, tournament games just never fire, says the game is in progress but I never actually enter a game, and I'm having some sort of weird sync error where the game goes to syncing for 30-45s at the beginning of every turn and it re-adjusts all the cards on the field then goes through and removes then re-adds everything to the graveyard like one card at a time. Eventually this sync process begins taking so much time it's just not worth playing anymore.

Alright I have a stupid question. I'm pretty new to TCG, so excuse me if this is a very very stupid question. I'm also not at home so I can't check my Hex client, but here goes: there's this Wild card with a 1 cost, if it enters play, you may add 1 resource to your pool. And you can tap it to gain 1/0 on your mana pool. The way I understand this, is that I effectively have 2 resources after I play this card on turn 1. In the game however, I see 2 green leafy things, but my counter stays on 0/1. Is this correct or is this bugged? And if this is correct, what is the purpose of that added resource (that you can't use) besides a card like Honeycap?

I'm also not at home so I can't check my Hex client, but here goes: I assume you're talking about the coyotle guy? He doesn't give a resource, he adds threshold. Threshold is represented by the dots going down the left side of a card under the cost. If there's two dots, you need two threshold(leafy things.) That card is particularly useful in multi color decks, where you need threshold from multiple colors. If you're playing ruby/wild for example your opening hand may have two ruby shards, one wild shard, the coyote guy and a 3 resource, two wild threshold card. You play the wild resource, the coyote and you have two wild threshold, 1 resource. Next turn play the ruby shard, tap your coyote and you have 3 resources and two wild threshold which allows you to play your card despite only having one wild shard in your opening hand. Make sense? You have to think of resources and threshold as different things. It's not like Magic The Gathering where your resources dictate the colors you can play.

The X/Y numbers are your "Ressources". X is how many ressources you have available until the end of the current turn, Y is how many you automatically generate at the start of the turn. The colored gems are your "Threshold". Threshold isn't used up when playing a card, it just needs to be there. Cards you play have both a ressource cost that uses up your available ressources and a threshold requirement. Howling brave allows you to generate 1 ressource for the current turn. It also increases your green Threshold by 1. This allows you to play a card that requires 2 green threshold even if you only played a blue and a wild ressource, plus that card. e: too slow

Aha, now I see. Thanks for the replies. I was indeed thinking resources and treshold were the same thing. So that card isn't really that optimal in a mono-green deck then.

First you share a shaggy dog story then talk about how you wish the game was more of a Drag, really? For serious is anyone making any good shin-hare decks, I really like the spawn tokens/sacrifice dynamic but I am pretty bad at making something that works?

Stormgale posted:First you share a shaggy dog story then talk about how you wish the game was more of a Drag, really? short answer: no. Longer answer: shin'hare are in a really awkward place where they need to work really fast, but can't. Most things that matter need troops to function and by the time you have a(for example) eulogist out, a reliable way to produce battle Hoppers, AND a reliable way to kill them, your opponent has made his gas troll a huge, unstoppable killing machine. Then he burns your eulogist and it was all for naught. not only does it take just a little too long to get going, there aren't many shin'hare that you can actually afford to lose. You'd think that with a "shin'hare are born to die" aesthetic there would be some that wouldn't hurt you if they get Murdered, but it isn't really the case since you need one to produce them, one to sacrifice them, and one to benefit from sacrificing and if any one part of the chain gets Murdered you're in a really bad place. There's also a lack of decent removal despite going into blood, just due to the sheer number of cards you HAVE to have in the deck. Shin'hare decks are getting better and better as patches go out. The most recent patch finally gave some decent control in the form of hop'hiro, but he suffers from getting murdered an awful lot. I think right now shin'hare are the worst decks you can play, but feel like a few sets from now when there are more options to work with they'll be really strong.

No. I mean, the blood/diamond version seems okay when it gets a perfect draw but that's the closest I've seen to effective and there are only three shin'whatever cards that are actually important to it so I'm not even sure it counts. They just don't seem to have any chance of recovering from extinction or heatwave/keeping up with any random non-rabbit wild deck.

I feel like this game has too much speed in it. Three or four turns and it's clear who is going to win with little room for momentum swings. I'm hoping limited will slow it down, but constructed is turning me right off even more so than constructed in MTG or other games.

Once we get another set into the mix constructed will be a bit better, but I know exactly how you're feeling right now.

pumpinglemma posted:Wow. Isn't this a hard counter to basically any combo deck? Well before you just picked it out of their deck before they ever had a chance to cast it. So unless they only had one in their deck, and/or had all copies of it in their hand, this doesn't change much for combo decks. The reason it's arguably better is that you were never guaranteed they would have drawn what you voided.

Is it still too much to ask to be able to chance the default card size when in hand or in play? This game while playable it takes a lot of fun out of the game to constantly have to zoom in and out on cards to remember what it is they do.

It still shuts down a combo by hitting every copy of the "finisher" card. For combo to work against that it actually needs 2 finishers, and I don't know if the pool is deep enough yet for 2 different finishers to the same combo.
