Satan saved one otherwise unwinnable game for me, but yeah I try not to have a turn 10 do-nothing.

And yeah Fairy Champion was more the kind of card I ended up with as a cost of getting some other really excellent ones. I definitely don't value it.

So, this deck is not that expensive to build and seems easy for a newbie to play but the maid leader and conscription seem to require commanders and there is none in the deck?

How does that work?

All men are beholden to the true commander - money.

Looking through the decklists has me really wanting to try stuff like Dragon Satan or Rune PtP cause they seem super interesting.

The game loves giving me repeats, I have 3 Moons and 3 Fortes now...

titania's sanctuary + robin hood for sure

being able to evolve fairies for 0 points is actually a pretty big tempo swing on board

Not that titania's sanctuary is actually good, but it's way more likely to affect a game than silver bolt, and robin hood and fairy princess are pretty close.

Absolutely. If your average wins are higher than 3, you will get more bang for your buck than just using the rupies for packs. You won't get Darkness Evolved packs that often with this method, but you can switch to spending your rupies on expansion packs once you have a good foundation of Standard packs. (That is if constructed appeals to you at all.)

I wasn't a fan of Constructed much in Hearthstone, but that's mostly because of the meta - I still played it a fair bit. Should I bother playing Take Two before I'm relatively decent at the game? My first run was a Haven deck with I think 2 wins. I still haven't finished more than three Story modes, so...

Personally I'd first finish all the campaigns, as they unlock key class cards and well, tend to give you a good idea on how each class plays on a basic level. You even get one Take Two ticket per leader story. After that, defeating all the AI on Elite will reward you with 200 rupies per leader, and these will also give you an idea on how you can counter some of the class archetypes.

At that point, you'll have a better grasp of the game, and will likely get better results in Take Two just by virtue of knowing how to handle the different crafts.

Yeah, that's been my plan. I've been doing some dailies too, just because people are so easy to beat at low levels of Ranked. 7 win streak so far with just a basic Sword deck :psyduck:

EDIT: By the way, what are some good Sword/Haven decks to start working towards? I want to start crafting cards soon, but I don't want to gently caress anything up too badly.

Vanilla Mint Ice posted:

I wouldn't waste vials trying to build it. Either play it as is with what cards you got or hope you can draw them from packs while playing other decks. Remi and Rami is the most important card in the deck and is the only card that you should be using vials for if you don't have 3 of her.

I didn't follow your advice and made Juno's Secret Lab x3 for 2400 vials, and now the deck is like 3 times better. That one card just makes it so much easier to actually set up a Pascale turn, which is pretty much my win condition.

face sword is nice and Alwida's Command is a good card to have as like your only significant rare because it goes into like every sword list

also Gabriel is a really strong neutral legendary for your random quest decks. Arguably the best neutral legendary when your decks are really bad.

I started like a week ago and already have Storm Haven, the cheap sword list, and I'm just like 3 golds short of Runecraft. Devouring entire classes to build decks with others is a really good way to be effective quickly if you don't mind the lack of variety. I keep hearing people saying don't do that because you want decks to complete missions but it's not like I'm going to take some thrown together garbage bloodcraft list to the ladder so I can lose 20 times trying to get like 30 gold. The storm haven list took me up to like 50 wins and associated rewards with virtually no losses on the way. Focus on results and build a few decks you can learn inside out. Do your quests in Take Two or something.

Uh doing your class quests in take two is a good way to throw your rupies down the drain :homebrew:.

On the other hand ladder losses just mean larger win streaks when you switch to your best deck.

I'm not saying you deliberately go to arena to do your class quests. Just worry about them when you're there. If your goal is to have good decks to play on the ladder, slamming bad decks for 30 games until you finally get a quest for 20 gold is a bad way to do it. Obviously if your goal is just card acquisition as its own end, then yeah, liquidating your cards to build decks is not gonna work.

I'm slowly learning to use Evolutions as more than just reactionary tools to the enemy's evolution.

It's also funny how I'm fighting against people who ram their 1 Attack followers into my Temple Defender without being aware of her ability.

It's the kind of poo poo that the AI does.

At least they don't ram a second one after their first mistake.
