My A2 streak ended at 11 wins but as consolation, my pack quest gave me Will of the Forest, Jeanne D'Arc (who is already vials), animated Sorcery Cache, and various junk silvers. Heck yeah. And I'm at like 1400 away from A3 now.

Missions inspired me to make some more budget decks since random whatevers aren't cutting it in A rank anymore... and my budget dshift and dragon are actually winning? Glory be.

I didn't get why shadowcraft was supposed to be so good in take two, but then I drafted two Mordecais in a deck with lots of wards (including the 6 mana 5/5 guy). Not really fair.

It has shitloads of midrange value creatures in a format where running the other guy out of cards is a nearly guaranteed win, and every Shadow drafter except me gets Lord of the Flies.

Why would you run 3 silverbolts in the first place? Even in my deck specifically made to win with silverbolt, it only runs 2 because it is such a dead draw you have 9 turns to get it in your hand.

That's reasonable, my silverbolt deck runs a bunch of draw cards like glimmering wings and wandering elf mage so I feel most of my games are decided by if I can do 11 damage by turn 9 and if I get to play turn 9 rather then if I draw into it.

i just ran into like control forest which was interesting. olivia, ancient forest dragon, all sorts of fun stuff. i died with him at 1 hp. on turn 3 i forgot to attack with liza before bouncing it with ancient elf. :downsgun:

i am forgiving myself because this was like my 3rd game with my newly (so close to) completed tempo forest deck and piloting it is just a bit more involved than my previous decks lol. so much fun though. i played against rune right after and basically all he could do was drop and glow scrap iron smelter 3 times and poo poo like insight due to liza bounces.

also its cool because i am 6 golds away from having a ptp deck to mess around with too. finally happy with my triple tia reroll.

Say, how does necromancy interact with PTP anyway? If you burn shadows on necromancy, are they gone for the purposes of PTP or does PTP simply check your discard pile?

It's the same resource, so Necromancy will in fact tamper with PTP.

Sleaking of deathly tyrant went 4-1 with a nice shadowcraft deck when my first opponent was a masters shadowcraft player with the TOT flair who dropped mordecai on 8, midnight haunt and deathly tyrant on 9

He must be a sick genius

Well it can still work since ptp doesn't consume shadows and you can just play tyrant as a finisher

A bunch of cards revealed today but the most interesting one I saw was from here
http://blog.livedoor.jp/shadowv/archives/10443013.html

A neutral gold follower, 4pp 3/3 that has a fanfare of drawing an amulet from your deck. Hello meme decks

Also the bloodcraft legendary has been revealed


7pp 5/4, has a fanfare of doing 2 damage to all enemy followers, and also whenever an enemy follower dies the enemy leader takes 1 damage

Alot of anti otohime/banner/2 health followers swarm this expansion

There is also a 5pp dragon amulet that buffs your own followers, spells and amulets' sources of damage by 1. A truly meme card, the discard dragon dream of dealing 20 damage to face in a single turn

It's a shame that New Blood Guy is probably 7 specifically so you can't combo him with Revelation. I still hope this set makes some kind of midrange blood deck a real thing.

Got bounced around on my quests today ending up only like 7 points higher than I started. Bought myself a consolation pack and walked away with a bunch of dust and a Lucifer. Not bad.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Other cards, with my own translations:

Pegasus Elf (Forest Silver)
5 cost, 4/4
Fanfare: Choose an enemy follower and set its defense to 1.
Evolve: Choose an enemy follower and deal 1 damage to it (only gets +1/1 from the evolve).

Silver Knight Emilia (Sword Gold)
4 cost 3/4
Fanare: Add a "Gelt, Vice Captain" to your hand. If the enemy board has 3 or more followers, that "Gelt, Vice Captain" costs 0.

Gazer (Rune Bronze)
5 cost 3/4
Spellboost: Cost -1

Dragonclaw Necklace (Dragon Bronze)
5 cost Amulet
All your followers, spells, and amulets deal +1 damage with any attacks or abilities.

Necroassassin (Shadow Silver)
4 cost 3/3
Fanfare: If there are any followers on your board other than this one, destroy 1 of your own followers other than this one, as well as a random enemy follower.

Frog Cleric (Haven Bronze)
2 cost 2/2
Enhance 4: Restore 3 defense to any ally.

For the record, the Blood Legendary is called something like "Bloodthirsty Empress" and the neutral that pulls an amulet is Uriel.

I'm mostly curious if Professor of Taboos is good enough to make midrange Earth Sigil good. Also gonna try out a combo dragon with that new amulet. Although considering it only buffs Imperial Dragoon by 1 damage, I don't think even a discard combo dragon deck would run that?

Yeah, so you drop this on five, then 2 wildfang dragonewts plus altered fate on six. As long as you alter 5 cards that's lethal. DingDong Dragon Deck.

The problem is keeping 5 extra cards in your hand by turn 6 without dying. That's exactly 1 card you can play to defend yourself with, 2 if you go second. And playing Dragon Council on turn 4 will likely discard one of your 2 cost combo pieces (and possibly kill you).

Edit: So essentially you can only use cards that will also draw other cards.

This... probably isn't practical, but if you don't run any other two drops you can use Goblin Mages to draw your combo pieces for you.

Goblin mages, carrot khaiza, urds (to kill her and dingdongs), dracomancer rites, some 1pp fodder for the counsel.

Plus all the other disco-dragon crap.

Yeah dragon and haven are the best for playing satan. Dragon can ramp and lower its mana cost to play it super early and can also phoenix if you want to really meme, and haven has alot of wards and can time sacred plea to pop after you summon satan

Jesus, is it possible to win a match without your opponent DCing right before you kill them?

Also, I just started playing and am 3 golds and a few silvers away from a top-tier Elana Seraph deck. What should I be spending my gold on, or should I be saving some for the new set?

Elana is a good way to get wins and it's a good cheap-ish deck so spend half the gold you earn on it and save the rest.

And people love disconnecting in this game because, apparently, there is like a slight chance it'll prevent your loss (seems like BS to me but I bet lots of people do it for that reason). That and being huge babies.
