I started playing like a week ago and all the free stuff + spending like $10 on crystals gave me a Haven Seraph deck already. I don't know if it's super top tier or anything but as a combo/control player it's brilliant fun. Against aggro you have a lot of healing, and the taunt that gets -1 damage taken on enemy turn is fantastic. I had a player suicide their entire board of 1 attack minions into it before pausing then conceding. Against your standard midrange decks you have giant boardclears and removal, along with good draw power and some solid midrange threats like Beastcall Aria. And vs control, it's very easy to drop a seraph T8 and then 3x cooldown reducers on T9 and win. I guess a hyper aggressive deck or another combo one could beat it though, or if anyone started packing Odin.

Seraph is really strong right now. Tons of odins at higher ranks because of it, but you won't have to worry about that for a bit.

He's probably the slowest finisher there is, and kind of mandatory for Shadow Control to even be an idea. There's no point in a slow control deck that doesn't have some big bomb to drop in the end. And, well, Mordecai on his own kind of sucks as a turn 8 play, which is why Nep is making him playable.

This game is dangerously anime and I think I gave myself eye strain from rolling them so much but this is actually pretty fun. I had no interest in rerolling though, but fortunately seem to have grabbed mostly good poo poo like Fortes which I guess means I should start working towards Dragoncraft. Getting a prebuilt deck would take me to 3x Forte, so I might wind up doing that and to get other random stuff. I've been enjoying playing Swordcraft though but it seems they are both expensive and terrible at the moment.

Aggro sword is relatively cheap (although the best versions run 3 alberts) and pretty fun in a brain dead go face kind of way.

I believe in the discard memes, all they need is a card that is like shuffle the last 5 cards from your discard pile back into your deck to be top tier

Well, drat. I read the OP and then went to one of the links that said it had a meta breakdown and there was a face dragon deck I thought would be fine to start out with. Are there any good decks for starting out with Swordcraft?

If you don't draw into dracomancer or dragonnewt early/late enough you don't do anything. I lost a game today to an evolved Forte to face, followed by dropping 3 dragonnewt and using altered fate on 5 cards. I wasn't even mad, just astonished. But he also played two goblin mage so i'm guessing he built the deck so dragonnewts was his only 2 drop, so maybe no scholars or kits? People are definitely still figuring a way to make discard work Cinnamon Bear posted:Well, drat.

Forte is the most important card for any dragon deck and just having her is all you need to be able to play whatever dragon deck you want to Vanilla Mint Ice fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Jan 16, 2017 |

Face dragon is fine. It's a tier 2 kind of deck. The issue is that everybody and their grandma are either running the BS decks or anti-aggro which limits face dragon. But it's perfectly fine to start with. You'll only start having trouble in A1 or such.

Are there any good videos out there on how to play Roach combo? I put it together for Forest missions, and even though I'm winning consistently enough I can't shake the feeling that I'm playing it wrong since I've never felt anywhere near a one turn kill.

I put it together for Forest missions, and even though I'm winning consistently enough I can't shake the feeling that I'm playing it wrong since I've never felt anywhere near a one turn kill. I dunno about videos but this guide covers the basics (I don't like the kittens, mischiefs and snipes seem better to me): https://maidtokill.wordpress.com/2017/01/05/roach-combo-deckguide/ The basic idea is to get 0-cost minions with your evos in turns 4-6, save them, and then use them and bounces to fuel your roach damage. One turn kills (20 damage) are not really that common, you usually do some damage on the first few turns and then finish them up with cute roaches. For your combos it helps to think about them backwards and remember to use the least expensive cards first. So, if you have 2 roaches and 7pp you want to finish the combo with the two roaches so that's 4pp you'll need at the end. Then you look at your hand and the board and see what the hell can you do with your other 3pp. If you have a nature's guidance then the optimal path is usually to drop your 0pp crap (3 of them normally), then a roach which you scoop back with nature guidance (3pp) and then the two roaches. That is the super-typical 4-6-7 combo on an empty board everybody is afraid of. The true OTKs are rare and usually involve longer guidance combos or triple roaches. The cheapest practical one is to drop 3 0-pp mons into an empty board, then scoop one back with guidance followed by triple roach plus evo for 5-6-9 damage with 7pp.

This is kind of a weird question, but is there any way to enable Japanese language from the English client on steam? Are they separate regions/servers like HS?

And you can indeed change the language pack in the steam and mobile (if you have root, I think) versions.

There's no clean way of doing it, but you can fiddle with the sound files manually and download the Japanese sounds from somewhere. We share servers with the Japanese players.

If you just want to switch everything over to the japanese client you can just choose it from the language options in steam (right click the game and choose properties), if you just want the voices or whatever you can do it but it's more involved and will need to be re-changed every time the game is patched

I recently noticed that Deathbrand says "Destroy an enemy follower with 3 or less defense. If you have enough shadows you can choose to use Necromancy (4) to destroy an enemy follower with 4 or more defense." IE: Even when you have 4 or more shadows, you can choose not to use them by targeting a follower with 3 or less defense. Was it always like this, or did they change it in the expansion or something? I recall consciously making the decision not to use it sometimes, so as not to waste shadows, so was I just being stupid or was this an undocumented buff to Shadowcraft? For the record, I've used it in-game and seen that it didn't cost shadows, so it's not just a matter of the wording.

Goddamn, had a ramp dragon with a god hand. Ramped 4 times and had Siegfrieds to kill all my stuff and still be at 20 hp on turn six when he dropped Bahamut. Well, who the gently caress cares? Bahamut gets mischied'ed back to the hand, comes back, I drop whatever non-combo poo poo I have in my hand and down comes Fafnir and clears the place (Had an ancient elf in there otherwise Forte comes out) and I take 13 to the face. But I now have 8pp with roach forest so 20 -> 0. Poor dragon, he had the dream.

So I'm at C3 rank right now, I've played about fifteen games tonight and won maybe two of them. It seems like every single person at this point has some really expensive deck like Daria/Levi or a full-on Forestcraft deck. I have an Aggro blood deck right now but I'm getting totally trashed despite all the great things I've been hearing about it recently, what's the strategy for countering these decks where they can remove your cards pretty much every turn? I also have the Elana Seraph hybrid deck but it seems very draw-based, and even then it seems like there's almost nothing I can do against a guy who evolves two Levi's on turn 4/5

I took a break from the ladder for like a week and hopped back on today. I'd held on to tons of stuff from the new set that I figured was probably dreck but wanted things to pan out a little and see if I had missed anything. Now that I felt safer about dusting some stuff I was able to put together the current Seraph list and other than when you just lose a coin flip against aggro blood it's pretty goddamn great against the field. Unless things go horrifically wrong tomorrow, I'll be in AA0 after one more session.RazzleDazzleHour posted:So I'm at C3 rank right now, I've played about fifteen games tonight and won maybe two of them.

Those cards are straight busted. That said, it IS your favored matchup, so the fact that your record isn't matching that means there's still plenty of room to improve your play. It's hard to know where you lack though. If you put up some videos that'd help a lot. Describing your mulligans would help a little until then though.

You can't link from IOS to steam now (blame Apple), https://shadowverse.com/news/important/news-0046 Found this post that implies you might be able to do it by linking it to your facebook account? (though this guy did it the opposite way, from steam account to IOS) quote:I just figured out how to do it, but it's extremely complicated, and you'll need an android emulator. First, get the link code from your steam copy. Then, install an android emulator (or borrow a friend's android phone), and install Shadowverse on the android. On the android, use the link code from your steam copy of Shadowverse to link the accounts. Then, on the android, link Shadowverse to your Facebook account (make sure to replace any existing Shadowverse accounts on that Facebook profile). Finally, on your iPhone, link Shadowverse to your Facebook account (this time, keeping the data on Facebook and overwriting any data on your iPhone). Your iPhone Shadowverse will now be linked to your Steam Shadowverse.

I posted somewhere up thread about it. It's possible to take an existing iOS account and link it over to steam using that same method basically, but you link iOS to facebook, open an emulator in android, link that to facebook too, it'll prompt you to sync data or whatever between the two, then you can generate a device link on android that you can then use on the steam account. It's loving stupid though and makes no sense why they disabled it only between iOS and steam.
