trucutru posted:So, does this game rankings reset once a month or something like that? No, the monthly score rewards reset (last tab in the mission screen), but the rankings don't. There are good decks in D rank, because other people know about rerolling as well. There are also people who deliberately stay in the low ranks by conceding a bunch to make their dailies / monthly score grind easier.

a lot of people deliberately tank their ranking until they have a strong collection. as you found out, doing "get 5 wins with XXXcraft!" dailies sucks if you don't have anything useful in that craft. it's even worse if you ride your one strong deck up to like AA0, because now your random dragoncraft pile is up against only netdecks

I'm finally getting around to trying to build a good Swordcraft deck and I found the Face Deck framework in the thread OP right here that I'm working from. Question being, how would I work in my 2x Tsubaki here? I also have 1x Alexander as far as Sword specific legendaries go, and a Lucifer for neutrals. Advice on how I could tweak this budget deck would be great.

A version of the deck based around Royal Banner and damage out of hand with Storm minions has largely displaced it these days. Phoneposting but look for a deck called Banner Swordcraft or Ohata Royal.

assault commander and swift infiltrator are easily the first two cards to go from that list, imo

Don't use the face deck if you want to play with your legendaries, the face deck is meant to largely decide the game within the first six turns. Modify the banner deck by replacing its two dance of death with your tsubakis. Don't put Alexander in if you want to play banner. Lucifer is too slow to use in banner.

One of my friends dragged me into playing this, why is the tutorial so long, why does it not use steam to directly invite people and why do so many cards not seem to describe what they do?  anyways do any of the decks play like black/red or black/white?

You can skip the entire tutorial by clicking skip in the top right. On cards, you can click bolded text for descriptions of what it does/what kind of token it makes/etc. Swordcraft is the goto quick aggro, Dragoncraft is the make-big-things-fast (so more like green really), Bloodcraft is probably closest to what you want (aggro, health as a resource, anime vampires).

Okay cool that's what I did after someone mentioned the Banner Deck, although I'd also put Alexander it I'll take him back out for that 3rd Alwida's Command. Cheers friends, I think this is definitely a solid deck for a first step. Also I'm pretty sure the answer is going to be an overwhelming majority but I'll ask anyways: How stupid would it be to buy the nifty Mordecai Leader for Shadowcraft? That's like 5 card packs worth of rupies but I also have me a good budget shadow deck and skull man seems super cool.

One thing I don't get: Guy plays a card that says "Gives +1/+0 to all officers that come into play" but when he used it all his currently in play officers got a buff?AfroSquirrel posted:You can skip the entire tutorial by clicking skip in the top right.

Yeah, there's a thing that both buffs existing officers AND future officers, as two separate abilities. I've never encountered a card that didn't do what it said, although it can sometimes be hard to read spellboosts effects.

Do I need to play the main story to unlock all the basic cards for a deck? Also I started a game and it said "spellboost x5" before I used any cards that had it. Is is tracking how many I have LEFT not how many I've USED? that seems less useful. Drakes posted:Is that the banner that also has Fanfare: +1/0 to all officers? So it does, I guess I misread it! Is there any way to destroy artifacts? I assume there's no forced discard, either? Cuntellectual fucked around with this message at 05:48 on Nov 5, 2016 |

Yes there are some basic cards you can get after clearing up to stage 6 of any story mode. When you say you "started a game" do you mean literally at the start, or after you already played cards like Magic Missile? Spellboost triggers off all spells, not just the ones that have spellboost on them. There are some cards that destroy artifacts/amulets. Most notable is a neutral legendary named Odin that exiles/banishes when you play it Cuntellectual posted:why does it not use steam to directly invite people because you're also playing with people on mobile

Cuntellectual posted:Do I need to play the main story to unlock all the basic cards for a deck? The spellboost tracks how many times you have spellboosted that particular card. Every time you cast a spell all the cards *in your hand* that can get spellboosted get a bonus, which is displayed in their text. Yeah, there are some cards that can banish artifacts, not that many tho. Forced discard as in make somebody else discard cards? Not that I know. But a few of your own cards can force you to discard from your hand.

2 haven 3-2 and 1 shadow 4-1 tonight. God everytime I face a master player or a top100 take two player it's a sword draft able to play on curve and blast my rear end right from the start; except for the one top100 take twoer I faced who was playing shadow and I made him ragequit with the turn 9 olivia. Tonight I as haven faced a master who drafted and played two freaking alexanders, "Unbelievable"

I just hit B0 playing nothing but Storm Haven. I've got cheapo sword and spell runecraft but I'm not nearly as comfortable with them. Should I just tank my rank to start building toward another deck? I really like the flexibility of the forest decks I've been seeing.

In case it's helpful for anyone: here's a list of all major archetypes commonly played at AA+, organized by a rough estimate of expense, with the expensive cards enumerated best as I can. Please note that all Haven lists have the option of running up to a full set of Moon al-Miraj in addition to the noted cards, but she appears to be fading fast from the metagame and is in no case mandatory. poverty tier Banner/Ohata Sword (3 Alwida) Batspam Blood (3 Vania, 2 Vampiric Fortress) Garuda Haven (3 Garuda, 2-3 Urd, 0-1 Themis) 1 playset tier Face Dragon (3 Forte, 0/3 Dragonnewt Scholar) Seraph Haven (2-3 Enshrined Seraph, 3 Elana, 3 Themis) D-Shift Rune (2-3 Merlin, 3 D-Shift, 2-3 Fire Chain) Aggro Shadow (3 Cerberus, 3 Phantom Howl, some variants run 3 Atomy + 3 Death's Breath but  )Midrange Sword (3 Otohime, 0-1 Tsubaki, 3 Alwida) Elana Haven (3-5 of Lucifer, Odin, Olivia to taste, 3 Elana, 3 Themis) yikes tier Control Blood (3 Bloody Mary, 2-3 Queen Vampire, and also like half the drat deck is golds) Literally All Forest (3 Ancient Elf, 3 Tia, 3 Roach, 3 Liza, 6-9 other golds based on chosen win conditions) Control Sword (10+ legendaries between Otohime, Aurelia, Tsubaki, Alexander, Olivia, 3 Frontguard General, 3 Leonidas)

 I even managed to summon Atomy on Turn 4 once Reiterpallasch posted:Banner/Ohata Sword (3 Alwida) Reiterpallasch posted:A version of the deck based around Royal Banner and damage out of hand with Storm minions has largely displaced it these days. Phoneposting but look for a deck called Banner Swordcraft or Ohata Royal.  It's really pronounced Mihata when talking about a banner, but Google Translate turns it into Ohata for some reason (probably because that's a surname?)

I don't see the point of the bottom left spellboost indicator then, if it only affects cards in your hands and they dynamically update their values. As for forced discard, either way, really. I liked Mill (even if it sucks) and Madness decks. I liked Infect and Slivers a lot too, but well...

Dragons have a mill-from-hand mechanic, but nothing from the deck. And I don't think they have a way to revive what they've milled, it's just 'discard lowest cost card in hand to do a thing/draw 2+'.

God dammit, just lose a game against a bad player with a bad deck because I didn't know what Leonidas' Resolve did and killed his evolved Leonidas. Switching off of my good sword deck into the beginner decks to try and finish missions really blows, I need to just sit down and make budget decks for all the leaders one of these days.

It was a cheap black enchantment that gave you mana, card draw or 2/2 zombies when your opponent discarded land, spells/arifacts/etc or creatures. It was fun with Drownyard which you could tap to make the other guy discard 3 cards. My favorite not-terrible Mill deck was based off of the famously not unbalanced card Jace, Mind Sculptor.

So, as a one-week newbie with a few legionaries, which kind of pack is considered best to have a good selection of cards to build newbie decks? Original or darkness? I just hoarded 1000r and I want to get the most out of my disappointing rolls.

That feeling when you first-pick Rose Queen and get offered like 2 more fairy-making cards the whole draft. Forest's gimmick is big unwieldy fuckin 6-8 drops, right? And what business does an A-rank sword with Tsubaki and Otohime have meeting me in the 2-2 anyway?

Also be prepared to see legendaries in (almost) every deck; the first and last rounds of drafts are heavily weighted towards rare cards iirc
