I got a Roland yesterday and today I got another Rose Queen and a Beast Dominator. I guess I can make a meme deck now?

Is arena the best use of gold? It seems like even if you suck and only get a couple wins, you still might as well do that as opposed to using it directly on packs.

Also, I opened a second Cerberus recently. I'm considering biting the bullet and picking up the prebuilt theme deck for a third one and slapping together one of the budget aggro shadow decks I've seen. Is that still a solid way to go?

If you want Standard cards or just want vials, take two is your best bet.

In theory yeah, but I'm always drowning in Take Two tickets I can never get through. I'm up to 21 and I think we get more free ones tomorrow.

If you can somehow get to the bottom of your Take Two tickets then go for it. I just don't have the time or enthusiasm to play that much Take Two. Plus I'd rather save my gold for the next expansion rather than vials from base set packs via Take Two.

I had 6 standard packs to open and this was the luckiest I've ever been in this game. Three(!!) Sea Queen Otome, a Fairy Princess, a Mythril Golem, and an animated Tsubaki!

All cards I didnt have and I've got no clue if any of them are good though since I've only really play forest decks.

Awesome!

currently only tsubaki is really played out of those but keep the otohimes too

I got this pack as one of my five DE packs today and thought it was funny:




I also got one legendary from the packs, and an animated one at that. It was my second animated Sun Oracle Pascale and my third overall. I almost feel obligated to make a lovely deck with her now.

It's okay my initial set of packs (no rerolls) had seventeen legends (one animated), and when I opened 60 packs of Bahamut to go Daria hunting, I got eighteen legends, two animated, distributed well so I only had 2 total extras

I'm just reverting to the mean here

Do you know how many DE packs I've bought since it became irrelevant hoping to get an animated humpty??? At least fifty. Not even kidding.

Make sure you check out the evolved art on him. It's glorious.

You weren't exaggerating, he's incredibly shiny.

Also I tried some stuff with Sun Oracle Pascale and she seems even more disappointingly mediocre than resources led me to believe. The effect happening at the end of your turn kills it, although it'd be way too silly if it happened right away.

a couple support cannon changes were added to the patch notes:
(Update) When an allied Aurelia, Regal Saber comes into play, Support Cannon’s effect will deal 2 damage plus 1 for damage each enemy follower in play.
(Update) When an allied Luminous Standard is in play and an allied Commander follower comes into play, Support Cannon’s effect will deal damage equal to the buffed Commander’s attack.

Don't worry, if sword does badly then next expansion they'll have a 5pp 4/5 follower with ward, that draws 2 cards, and spawns a cannon when killed.

As someone who plays dirt a lot, I'd be hard pressed to put that new Levi in when Professor of Taboos and Curse of Calamity are at the same cost and have a bigger impact on the board

I'd argue that Levi is better than calamity in most situations since he damages the enemy leader as well as puts a fairly strong body on the board. He's also pretty strong without earth rite triggering

E: I think the last of the spoilers are out, save for 1 missing silver card

Forestcraft is shaping up to look really good this time around, and seems to be breaking away from it's usual tricks of OTKs and face rushdowns.

And we finally have an earth sigil amulet that, instead of sucking poo poo, is actually quite good.



This thing for blood will be a nice replacement for Grimnir in some cases. It's got a really neat, and versatile, effect. I think!

I got a whole bunch of ranked mission so I dusted-off the good skeleton army and tried my first ranked matches in like a month and a half (I didn't play for 30 days or so).

First opponent is anti-shadow haven. Over the course of the game I ate:

3 Scriptures
2 Judges
2 Acolyte's lights
2 Priests of the bald
3 Tribunals
and 2 10-pp Grimnirs

We were both basically at 1 pp by the end, me dropping one threat every turn (and by threat I mean a single catacomb or chimera) and he banishing it and hoping to set-up for Aegis. Finally, he dropped the aegis amulet only for me to topdeck Cerberus (finally!).

Yeah, that was a disconnect.

Otherwise, my kinda aggressive, kinda mid-range deck still works.

Speaking of Levi, I put together a budget aggro DShift deck from a list I found and I think old fart Levi is almost more offensive by himself than chaining DShifts together. He's ridiculously good and for some reason his voiced line makes me laugh.

I started going through my T2 tickets to try and grind some more rupees for the expansion, but I don't think I can do it. Take Two is just so loving terrible right now. I usually still get at least 2 wins, even with somewhat terrible decks, but I'd rather do something that I actually enjoy. Guess I'll have to settle with about 35 packs - thankfully I have a lot of vials saved up.
