I'm on a rural broadband connection, close to the limit that works so I only get 260KB/s or thereabouts. I worked out this time that they don't open the packs, it just gives you tickets with which to buy packs and then open them. :doh:

I'm glad I managed to finish my Daria run before now because everybody seems to be complaining about her now, which has had a good success rate at predicting nerfs with their new nerf philosophy

It'd be just a month before she escaped into the safety of unlimited, too

that's true, and restricting daria would be basically the same as a full ban because it'd kill the deck for sure

HA! HA! NICE! WHAT A TOOL!
It's hard to inagine Daria getting restricted, as much as I'd love to see the original deck that made me hate the game gutted.

She could get D-shifted though as she absolutely has the same issues in terms of new content.

Tbh, they'll probably hit the components, and/or they might bump daria a PP up in cost. Or make her a 4/4. Either way it'll probably be okay.

I love the irony of cheetah struggling to climb with Daria for months and now she's a meta-defining top tier deck.

Anyway I played Neutral Wallet Rune against a Daria earlier and survived the t5 Daria + 2x Oglers and then another Daria and it was cool. Thank you for still being good, Falise.

It's what she deserves but now she's gonna get nerfed just before escaping into unlimited which sucks

Might as well take Daria out for a spin before it gets nerfed. Would you consider Mystic ring or frozen mammoth in there?

Mystic ring is plausible but I wouldn't personally play it. Mammoth is also plausible but I think the fact that it has low upside is more important than the fact that it has a good floor. I'd probably play flame destroyer first. That one's a meta call and I haven't played in like a month though so take it with a grain of salt. I can't imagine mammoth has gotten any better in a world where it isn't bahamut insurance though

I'm liking both shadow decks at the moment, I think I'd like elephant forest a bit more if I had the insect lords but the deck feels hella inconsistent on draw order.

Zeus Caller or Reanimate Shadow, whatever you wanna call the deck, is super fun. It's gonna be sad when Zeus finally rotates out if they don't give Shadow another strong target for reanimation.

Took out Succubus/Devil of Vengeance, added in Diabolic Drain (wtf how did I miss this one?) and added Bapho and neutral 3pp cards so they can't be pulled by Bapho. Part of me wonders if Nacht is usable, but it feels like that'd be better in a control blood setup.

Isn't the next round of nerfs supposed to be announced today? It seems kinda crazy that we've had a new meta from nerfs for literally two weeks before something else is getting changed.

Magic Owl at 3 probably still gets played in rotation Daria and unlimited D Shift. Any unlimited Daria decks that were playing it over Levi will just play Levi now.

If those nerfs are true, it feels real bad for the Portalcraft players losing having their one truly busted card nerfed, given their low usage and lower win% rates.

This meta's Daria and her ilk can all burn to the ground, though.

If you switch your language to Korean you get 3 more packs (and then you can swap back). I wouldn't recommend doing this until you are mostly happy just because downloading languages takes forever.

Of those cards, I think only Israfil is meta right now but you have a very very solid shadow set for low-rank laddering or single player stuff. What do your golds look like?

If you do end up rerolling, do yourself a favor and do it on an android emulator. You can just delete your account information and not need to redownload everything.

Animated legendaries dust for enough to make a playset of a gold. I'd hold off until you were looking to build a specific deck though.

Well, I can tell you that Portalcraft appeals to me most. Shadowcraft can suck a dick from looking at the description of how it works. Then again, I can also tell you that my favorite class in Hearthstone is Mage because it has the most Secret cards, and I love watching my opponent destroy themselves accidentally and I love having the pressure of unknown danger on my side. I also like "create random thing" effects as long as they are all useful, because I will never be good at these games and the fun for me is thinking on my feet. I also like Mage because it has the most versatile class ability. I don't mean this to be a Hearthstone post of course, just that that's the CCG I have the most experience with, and that's how I like to play.

So what would you suggest, based on enjoying those things?

cheetah7071

Those kinds of random effects barely exist in Shadowverse. There's only one playable card like that, Mysterian Knowledge. Daria is a tier one deck currently and Daria is a very high variance deck and plays Mysterian Knowledge. Daria herself is a legendary but nothing else in the deck is rarer than gold.

By having a Deus Ex Machina you're on your way to having a Portal deck, because she's one of like three decent cards in the entire class. It's super sparse right now because it only has one set's worth of cards so far.

My honest suggestion is to play the single player, get a buttload of gold for more packs, and decide based on what seems fun when you actually play it.
