I opened a fully animated pack topping off in animated Mythril Golem. I wanna liquefy him but I can't help but tell myself that a board wipe that leaves you a big body could punch its way into a meta if things slow down.

...Oh yeah. For some reason I've never seen her hit face, so I forgot she had Storm and not Rush. I guess everyone just wants to get maximum value out her regeneration.

Edit: But yes, Themis defines why it's hard to kill Haven.

Man, Moon's having up to 5 face damage out of hand is like the biggest reason I play her. The ability to clear/self-heal is just a nice backup that makes her better than like a Gilgamesh or something. Every once in a while she's there to clear but if I'm spending that much mana on one guy, I really want to be winning the game this turn.

Edit: Do we have an ETA on those free packs?

They really want me to play Sword. Just from 20 or so initial packs and buying ones from the gold you get from beating the elite AI I have 3x Otohime, 3x Aurelia, and one Alexander. I really wanted to play Blood or Shadow. Sword just doesn't have enough maid cards. :(

Doesn't Sword still have more maid cards than any other craft even with its grand total of like, 3 maids?

Sword has 4 if you count Giant Slayer since she looks like a maid. It's still not enough.

I do love the attack sound effect from the gunner maid.

Holy poo poo, you already got like 2/3 the cost of midrange/control sword decks.

The forest missions are pretty tricky near the end especially the last battle so don't worry about failing, just keep trying

Assuming you want to play forest decks since you got 3 tias, you should craft 3 fairy circles, 3 elf child mays, and 3 elven princess mages asap. They should help you out alot


Just went 5-0 with this deck which was pretty surprisingly and not surprising at the same time?? Right before this I also went 4-1 with a dragon deck that also had dragonsong flute, polyphonic roar and genesis dragon but that one had a forte instead of orb dragon and only I used orb dragon once in the five matches. Somehow i think the major difference between the previous one and this one is that I have an extra dragonewt fist, despite how loving bad the card feels to have. Also one less dragon counsel and no shenlongs.

Some stats, for all five matches I used polyphonic roar and depended on it to win, used atleast one dragon oracle, dragon counsel and dragonewt fist, and evolved Transmogrified Wyrm. It's basically a super slow control deck with tons of removal and dragonsong flute even acts as a super removal while my polyphonic roar grinds them down. I even ended two of the matches with one evolve point still remaining

the secret op card there is fire lizard

turn 2 plays against dragon are obnoxious because of that card, and fire lizard acts as a solid siegfried enabler, when siegfried is already one of the best cards to have against evo turns

also dragonewt fist is insane but dragonsong flute is on average quite bad, are my hot takes

there's no doubt that your top end is insane and filled iwth 2-for-1's but it's having a solid early-mid game that gets you there.

5-0 with a disgusting shadowcraft deck that really glutted out the 3-drop slot, including 2 Necroelementalist, 1 Angelic Barrage, 1 Foul Tempest 4 Spartoi Soldiers and a Shield Angel. I went up against sword 4 times :unsmigghh: (I never fell behind on board).

Luna is the best.

Still getting mostly dragon missions so my face dragon deck is climbing nicely. The "cannot be attacked" monsters are basically what screws my opponents, since at turn 4-5 they cannot just plop something down and evolve it to trade, and most of my opponents are not good enough to evolve their poo poo pre-emptively and thus my own drop into evolve can often do a clean 2 for 1. Bonus points if my evolved mon cannot be attacked either.

I wonder how far can I climb (by only doing missions) until I hit a road block. Better aggressive decks and decks with direct damage totally smoke my low stats cards.

I think you will hit a roadblock at

"By my blade, victory and prosperity are yours." "Featherblade, show your true power."

Which is a ways off, so keep going at it.

Also maybe tempo forest, since Tia makes a gigantic 6/6 ward and rhinoceroach kills very fast

how's your aggro vampy matchup?

Last vampy fight we were pretty even. I ended with control of the board with both of us at 2 hp but lost to a dance of. death

Feels like I'm at a small disadvantage.

with fortes you should be able to outrace all but the luckiest bat players; as a midrange sword player i don't feel like my matchup vs face dragon is particularly advantaged, but maybe i'm just bad

the real matchup i'd be worried about as face dragon is elana; face dragon has always felt to me like one of those decks that has a way harder time doing 25 damage than 20, if that makes any sense

Oh, I wish I had some fortes. But in any case I am not playing face dragon and sword because I love going face but because they are cheap and I have some of their good cards.

I am more of a combo/control player as I so I guess I'll probably end up doing Forest, but I have but a single Tia so that'll have to wait.

jp pros regularily post seraph elana lists with 2x enstatued seraph and no moons; if you have some themis' decree/elana's prayer sitting around you could build the deck on the relative cheap

A friend helped me create this sword deck but I don't really know what I'm suppose to do with it. The two cards you can't see is Alwida's Command and Frontguard General. I don't really now much about CCG jargon outside of SMOrc meme stuff. I have an Alexander but he said it's not really fitted into the meta however do not liquefy it yet.

I won 6 out of 10 unranked games against similar ranked nobodies without really trying. I just make sure I have more dudes than my opponent and hit face. :orks101:

My free DE packs gave me 5 spirit cycle (and a Crystalia Tia woo?). I mean, I'll take 500 free vials but what are the chances of getting the same card once in each pack?
