Thought I'd give this a shot, this is the best i've done after a bunch of rolls, should i keep re-rolling or stick?

Dragonsong Flute
Queen Vampire
Odin
Arch Summoner Erasmus x 2 (one is animated so yay vials?)
Cystalia Tia
Lord of the Flies

Also unless i'm missing something after the tutorial I only get 10 standard packs and 15 of the expansion, in this thread others have mentioned getting way more standard packs so not sure if they've changed that, thinking i should re-roll but as im getting less packs...

It's a pretty mediocre roll, you can save the account and keep trying to reroll for a better one

When your turn ended, there were 5 cards in play, not four. It triggers on four.

it has to actually summon a bat to trigger. so it can only trigger the sac effect with if there are only three creatures

When will japanese card game developers realize that cards that give you extra turns are always bullshit, and always bite balancing in the rear end later down the life of the game.

That's one way to get ahead in life, but nothing beats an axe to the face.
Couldn't screenshot on my phone but got my first two legendary in one pack. It's a Cerberus and Aurelia!

However, I already own 3 of them. They could have thrown me a bone and make them at least animated. Oh well, 2000 free vials.

I'm contemplating liquifying my second Tsubaki, I don't see any swordcraft deck where I might need two.


Working with shadowcraft , I feel like it's really weak. An aggro deck using Cerberus + Phantom Howl 9 instant face damage but it runs out of gas past turn 7. I can't SMOrc early since everyone runs the dancing unicorn girl. What cards can I add to give it some steam later in the game? Mordecai is too slow.

So, what would you guys think is the average player level on non-ranked? I just did a few runs (11) in order to clear some quests and didn't see a single deck that was not expensive as gently caress, non-traditional, but these are obviously not newbies? To be honest it would have been easier to win in my current C4 level.

Is there an ELO system for it or is it just ranks anybody against anybody?

I played practically constructed Forestcraft in arena. Still lost a game to sword after beating through Aurelia and Frontline Guard. In the final game, an opponent had evolved Siegfried (5/3 atm) and Lucifer out against my 3 2/1s. No problem! Play the +1/+0 fanfare fairy, crash a 3/1 into Siegfried, Fairy Trickery or whatever it is the fanfare back to my hand bouncing his evolved Lucifer to hand. Board cleared. Play fanfare fairy again, the two 2/1s are now swinging for 4 each and there comes the concede.

Forestcraft is loving insane (and I'm salty that any old sword deck apparently still has a hell of a good shot against it in arena).

Just downloaded this and I'm excited to get playing. Right now I'm rerolling and writing my NaNoWriMo novel in between rerolls. I'm only on my 2nd one but I think I should have taken a better look at my first one because I get the feeling I had a lot more nice things in it. I got greedy, though, and thought I could get even better and my 2nd one has been crap. Here's hoping I can manage to get a nice set of pulls sometime tonight.

I'm playing the Japanese version since that's the region my Apple account is in. Hopefully this isn't going to screw me over like it did with Final Fantasy Record Keeper (I couldn't do any dailies because the game server thought it was one day and my phone thought it was another).

I saw people whining about the creepy anime art in this game so I thought it was going to be something like Monster Monpiece but actually I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the art is. Even the skimpier outfits seem more tasteful than I was expecting, and there's a lot of really, really good art too. I'm looking forward to making decks with some of these cards I'm seeing while I flip through my pulls.

There's no regional account differences. Hell you can play the straight up Japanese version on Steam if you so like.

I read this post over the weekend and decided to give this game a shot, my first pulls included a Cerberus, 2x Dark Angels, A lord of the flies, A Sun Oracle, and an unlisted legendary. Seemed like a decent pull but didn't really appeal to me, after a few days and well over a dozen re-rolls I finally got another decent starting pull.




I can stop re-rolling now right? Blood and Forest are the two classes that interest me the most, so this looks to be a decent start, the golds are kinda good too.

Just hit A0 with the last climb on the back of aggro blood. It keeps stealing free wins but I don't know where its ceiling is gonna be. I want to get another deck going but things are so goddamned expensive. Sitting on blood aggro, Dshift rune, and storm haven.

Well, basically as long as I draw well I can beat most stuff with alwida-less banner (I have a Tsubaki and some that 7pp ninja that summons a copy instead). Seems like the trick against the more powerful decks is to prioritize flooding the board and hiding your banner for a bit. Lots of people don't consider the small hits they get hit with too threatening and when the banner finally drops things get out of their hands quickly. So they begin using all the bullshit OP cards they have in hand but usually they usually cannot kill all of my cockroaches before they die.

Unless they are scumbag Havens (You guys should be ashamed of playing that class, at least D-Shift takes skill), who always seem to have a board clear. In that case I just don't over-extend and prioritize keeping storm cards on my hand.


A question: what do you guys consider to be the best opening hand for banner. Vangard, Oathless/Ascetic, Maid?


Edit: And the card that causes the most ragequits is the ruthless assassin. Haha, gently caress your Aurelias.

The more I play the more I prefer to not use my quickbladers at the start, since against many decks the only way to beat them is with damage out of hand. The blader will do one extra damage than the vanguard in turn one, but he can be the difference between victory and defeat in the late game.


On an unrelated note

yeah i mean, fairies are just bats but with better combos, and rhinoceroach is an insane finisher compared to i dunno name a card aggro vampy has

not to mention elf child may is like insane amounts of tempo advantage, and forest has liza for angelic barrage protection.

the main advantage that aggro vampy has over any forest list is reach, but that doesn't come up in this matchup, because a lot would have to go wrong for the forest player to lose board control by that large of a margin.

also fairy beast

I have officially retired my Pascale deck in A rank. It's just not nearly fast enough or slow enough. I'm not entirely sure how they could buff it, given its general strategy, but I think maybe an aggressive and/or sticky 3 cost follower might help a lot. Or not.

Awesome!
