Any thoughts on a PvE campaign deck using Angel of Foresight? Which character build might that go well with?

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Any thoughts on a PvE campaign deck using Angel of Foresight? Which character build might that go well with? You probably want ruby/sapphire for a deck focused on actions, which suggests one of Dwarf, Human, or Necrotic. Of those, Human gets the best rare card access, but Dwarf has the better racial traits (Armor 1 is so good). Wrenlocke, Kindling Skarns, Salt Harpies, Phoenixes, a bunch of Sapphire card selection/cantrips, Burn, Crackling Bolt, Heat Wave, Time Ripple, etc. Unfortunately the best champion by far for an Angel of Foresight deck is Winter Moon and there's nothing even close to her charge power available to a campaign deck.

In true Hex fashion, the 100k Invitational stream started late, was delayed with a 20 minute countdown timer on screen, then when the timer finally hit 0 it started counting up again. EDIT: Stream spoiler: New champion, Uzzu the Bonewalker, 4: Gain a threshold of your choice. 23 health, IIRC. Zurai fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Mar 5, 2016 |

I'll give Cyriius credit, he's got the only "new" deck at the event. I don't know that it's a very good choice, but I don't know that it isn't, either.

Will any sites be doing write ups of the matches? Only new to Hex and have only played some of the PvE campaign so not the best with following along the stream. Also you guys are only in Slack right? Don't really want to bother having another chat app for 1 channel up when I got IRC already going. Edit: Stream lagging a bunch for anyone else?

More stream spoilers (I may have missed some, I didn't catch the start of the segment). These are from memory so minor details may be off: Bogberg, the Great Gobbler: 6RRSS, 2/2 Flight. When * enters play, each player discards their hand and draws 7 new cards. * gets +2/+2 for each action drawn this way. Facetaker: 2BB, 3/1. 3, Void a troop from your crypt: This becomes a copy of that troop and gains "At the end of turn, revert this". Elder of Visions: 2W, 2/2. Prophecy: When this or another Coyotle enters play under your control, the next troop in your deck gets +1/+1. Flashpaw Elder: 6SS, 5/5 Quick Flight. Prophecy: When * enters play under your control, the next non-quick troop in your deck gets quick. Danse Macabre: 5DDD, Basic Action. Transform all troops in your crypt into Phantoms and put them into play under your control. Twin Eternities: 9, Basic Action. Create an Eternal Mender and put it into play. Create an Eternal Scholar and put it into play. Eternal Mender: ?, 6/6. ?Gains you life when it hits an opponent? EDIT3: According to the official forums, doubles your life total when it hits an opponent. Eternal Scholar: ?, 6/6. ?Draws you cards when it hits an opponent? EDIT3: According to the official forums, draws cards = cards in your hand when it hits an opponent. EDIT: An additional note: the Set 4 Gauntlet matches which are playable at the Invitational are Wild West format -- that is, PvP with PvE equipment. Maybe we'll see official support for that in the Set 4 patch? EDIT2: Additional spoilers: Zakiir's Frenzy (R) 5R Constant At the start of your turn, create a random action that you meet the threshold requirements to play and put it in your hand. Chomposaur 5WW Troop - Dinosaur Crush When this enters play... [destroy target opposing?] artifact or constant... [You gain life equal to the?] destroyed card's cost. 4/4 Blood Mist (C) 1B Quick Action Target troop you control gets +1/+1 this turn. Deal 1 damage to each opposing champion. Skarn Breath (C) XRR Basic Action Deal X damage to target troop. Poet of Gla'aki (L) 7SSS Troop - Chaostouched Unique Unblockable When a Chaostouched deals damage to an opposing champion, bury the top card of that champion's deck. When a card is buried from an opposing champion's deck, put that card into your hand. 2/8 EDIT3: Artisanal Cheesesmythe 3WW 2/3 Elf Lethal ~At the start of your turn, create a random cheese and put it in your hand. ~When this deals damage to an opponent, cheeses in your hand get cost -1. 3 cheeses; a 4? cost constant which gives you 1 life per turn, a 6? cost action that puts a card in a crypt into your hand, and a 10? cost troop which is a 7/4 or 7/5 steadfast crush. Equipment spoilers: Voice of Ashwood has a head? which gives it speed. Twin Eternities had an equipment to give both the Mender and Scholar speed. Titan of Voktor has a chest? which reduces its cost by 2 whenever you play a Ragefire. Zurai fucked around with this message at 04:26 on Mar 6, 2016 |

Cyriius's Terrorantula mill combo/control deck was the only 4-0 deck in day 1, so expect to see Phenteo and Azurefate Sorceress spike in price.

One of the trailers revealed Uzzu, a neutral champ With I think 23 health, 4 charges gain a threshold of your choice.

Some more notable cards that are getting talked about from those at the event: Justicar of Aryndel (R) 3WWW Troop - Elf Ranger Empower This can't be interrupted. 4/4 Bloombringer (L) 6WWW Troop - Plant Steadfast BASIC WWW, While this is in your hand: Put six troops from your crypt into your deck -> Play this for free. Other Plants you control have +2/+2 and Steadfast. 6/6 Lazgar Chul (R) 5RB Troop - Vennen Warrior Unique (RB Vennen? Can only relay what I'm told!) Speed When Lazgar Chul enters play, each opposing troop gets "When this blocks, it gets -5/-5" this turn. 5/5 Lightning Skyhunter (R) 4DS Troop - Quick Coyotle Warrior Flight When this enters play, troops with Flight you control get Invincible this turn. Ready each troop with Flight you control. 3/4 Orchi-noko (R) 3DW Troop - Spirit This has +1/+1 for each health you gained this turn. 3/3 Primordial Caves (R) 3W Constant When a troop enters your, secretly add roar counters to this equal to that card's cost. If there are 10 or more, remove them all, and create a random Dinosaur and put it into play. (I assume above one refers to deck) Rotten Rancor (R) 5WB Basic Action Put target troop from your crypt into play. That troop battles target opposing troop. Shin'gami (L) 5BBB Troop - Shin'hare Horror Crush When this deals damage to an opposing champion, you may void all troops you control. If you do, put all troops from your crypt into play. If this would enter your crypt, void it instead. 5/4 William Rowan (L) 2DD Troop - Human Warrior Unique When William Rowan enters play, create Rowan and put him into your deck. When William Rowan attacks, move each Rowan in your deck up five places. If the top card of your deck is a Rowan, put him into play. 3/2 Rowan - 5/5 Great Wolf, Steadfast & Swiftstrike, William Rowan gains Swiftstrike and double damage. And some partials: Blood action - 1 cost for -3/-3, have to void a troop from your crypt too. Blood basic action - Grants the thresholds of target troop and destroys it. Blood quick action - If opponent suffered damage this turn, they must sacrifice a troop. High ??? - 4DD Necrotic with 4 powers but only 0/1 stats. Flight troop that has +2 attack if gain health that turn. Troops that gained Flight or Swiftstrike for turn when gain health. Shard which grants no threshold but grants an extra [1/1] for each copy played previously. Spiders (some with sockets), that add eggs when they deal damage. Vennen 2/1 Flight troop that mills both players for 3 when played. Wild Buffalo - 2/3 for 2. Rotten Rancor appeals to me, as does the vennen self mill, and all 3 blood actions that are partial seem pretty sweet too. Power level seems high on this set

LightReaper posted:Lazgar Chul (R) The flavor text makes sense of it. Something along the lines of "Mother, I'm coming for you." Lazgar Chul is a traitor who has abandoned the vennen to ally with the orcs. I'll get a picture today. quote:Blood basic action - Grants the thresholds of target troop and destroys it. Worth noting that this is 3 cost, single threshold, and uncommon. It's really, really strong. quote:Vennen 2/1 Flight troop that mills both players for 3 when played. This is actually a 1/2 chaostouched, related to Bokrug. Also, there's an uncommon shard that grants 1/1 and a charge (but no threshold), but you can pay 3 and discard it to gain any threshold and draw a card.

LightReaper posted:Basic speed is significant, but holy cow does it hit artifacts? I would love that card just for fixing purposes. It does hit artifacts. quote:Pay 3 resources or health? Either way I like the design of that card for it's ability to fix and also avoid flood. Is it basic speed?

I would have forced a B/D sac deck and think I would have had a better deck than this... but yea he passed a nuts spider deck.

Man, ValueCity bragged hard about his drafting skills in the pre-draft segment and I am not impressed. Especially ironic is that he claimed one of his greatest strengths was remaining open.

He said he calculated that he had one of the highest draft win rates in the entire player base, and that he felt his greatest strength was his ability to stay open. Coulda fooled me based on that draft. We'll see, of course, his deck isn't terrible by any means.

I am really, really bad at drafting these days. Set 1 and 2 I had a decent win rate but ever since Armies of Myth hit things went south for me badly. If it weren't for the free weekly I'd probably have stopped drafting entirely.

I do not like hatedrafting the 2/2 shift flier over picking Cry of Adamanth in a B/D deck with a lot of spirits. You don't want multiple Cries but they're a really, really good finisher in the deck. EDIT: I do like Mastermattchu's deck way more than Valuecity's, though.
