Missing the "replace" feature alone makes it hard to play anything else in the genre.

Just pulled off 12 damage in one turn with Diretide Frenzy + Sleet Dasher letting me club the general while attacking his minions. Next dream: Spectral Revenant + Diretide Frenzy.

Started playing last sunday, made Gold just minutes ago!  This game's pretty fun - I'm playing a fast tempo Lyonar deck so far and I love how there's almost always a play you can make that turns the game around. The only thing I'm having trouble with is card screw - sometimes I can't accelerate my draw enough to get the ball rolling. This is what I got right now: Argeon Bloodtear Alchemist x3 Azurite Lion x3 Healing Mystic x3 Primus Fist x3 Sun Bloom x1 Sun Wisp x1 Tempest x3 Windblade Adept x3 Afterblaze x2 Repulsort Beast x1 Saberspine Tiger x3 Silverguard Knight x3 Sojourner x1 Holy Immolation x2 Lightbender x1 Suntide Maiden x3 Dancing Blades x3 What should I replace to make it more consistent? Especially against Vanar decks, it always feels like they just completely snatch the tempo away from me at some point, even when I can keep my deck drawing.

I'm not really digging the rift format. I really think it should let you crack open a level up pack THEN decide what card you're replacing. It's too easy to get RNG screwed all the more and then have to wait and lose a few more games/tank your rating because you tried to replace a lovely value 3 drop creature but could only replace it with 5-6 drops and spells a few too many times.

Transient People posted:Started playing last sunday, made Gold just minutes ago! Congrats and welcome aboard! Speaking as a dedicated Abyssian player, here's what I see most often from Lyonar: Ironcliffe Guardian to Divine Bond is the classic Lyonar finisher combo. You Airdrop the Guardian next to the enemy's General, then next turn (or this turn if you have the mana) you pop a Divine Bond and crush them with a 13/10 with Provoke. Frankly, Divine Bond is a great spell for Lyonar, even without Guardians, since it can boost your high health dudes across the board.

jng2058 posted:Congrats and welcome aboard! I used to do Divine Bond, but it's just kinda slow on anything that isn't an Ironcliffe or similarly boosted. Like, example: Primus Fist on a Dancing Blade or Suntide Maiden, plus Roar = exact same damage across two turns, but you can also play the Fist as an opener card, buff it with Afterblaze to start punching dudes out or whatever. Bond is kinda inflexible without Ironcliffes (I got one but am still working through getting the other two). I'll give it a shot, but I wonder if it's truly that strong considering just how long it takes to deploy the Cliffe. (relatedly, is there a reason Ironcliffe Heart isn't used over real Ironcliffes? It feels like it should be the superior card - it doesn't have Airdrop, sure, but it lets you use your small 1 and 2-drops efficiently or turn a 3-drop that's about to die into a huge stall. The value seems like it's there to me, and is more flexible due to cheapness than Ironcliffe itself.)

There are a lot of neutral minions that work really well with it. The best example are Dioltas or Owlbeast Sages. Diolta's tombstones are brutal with Divine Bond and easy to abuse. Owlbeast Sages can quickly get a lot of health built up for Divine Bond to one shot generals.

Oh man That Dioltas is probably what I need to go for next I think, once I'm done getting Holy Immolations. It's such a nice card, and having it would allow for Divine Bond to come back onto my deck. Minions that need to be killed twice are HUGE value.

I've been playing Rift with a Faie burn deck that includes a pair of Eight Gates and Cobra Strikes. It's been grinding through people pretty well. I'm trying to get a few Abyssian cards into the deck but so far Vanar and Songhai are pretty fun together.

I'm speaking mostly out of my rear end but it feels Vanar and Vetruvian have fairly strong starts. Vanar already has a control shell since all of their big cards (chromatic cold and flash freeze) are available in the basic package, while I've gotten an incredible amount of mileage out of being able to combo with Arctic Displacers in an environment where removal is uncommon. Vetruvian is strong for a similar reason: not a lot of dispels to answer Second Wish combos, but I have no experience with them. In other people's experience do you find the cards offered by the upgrade weighted towards your starting faction?

In my opinion Lyonar and Vanar (which of the two is debatable) have the best starts followed by Vetruvian and Magmar. Lyonar gets a lot of mileage out of zeal and being able to buff provoke minions with spell cards from other factions is rough. Vanar though tends to be the toughest out of all the factions because of the reasons Robo mentioned. I do find though that if Vanar make a mistake they get punished pretty hard for it in draft scenarios since a lot of their minions are based around synergy combos. Vetruvian doesn't have to worry as much about dispel but the cards people can have access too now makes a lot of their openers weaker. Obelysks aren't much of a threat when your minions can death strike them away. Magmar always has a solid opener and Rift isn't much different.

Beat the newest boss on my second try. The first time I lost because mostly the Creep half of my Swarm/Creep hybrid deck came up and I foolishly wasted my Obliterate to kill the pre-unification form of the boss and ended up behind the eight-ball when the superform came online. The second time more of the Swarm stuff came up, and while the fact that he had Dark Transformation available kept my usual Deathfire Crescendo'ed dudes in check, he really had no answer for multiple Shadow Dancers, especially since he couldn't resist killing my Wraithlings en masse. Still this guy beat me the first time, so good on you for that Kronikle!

Yeah, I wouldn't say that Kelaino is "lost" really. Even back when she was 2/5 I always stuck her in the back row out of the way. Now that's she's 3/3, I do the same. Sure, she dies to a Frostburn now and she's a smidge less durable as a Deathfire Crescendo host, but her stats were never really the point.

 I forgot that basic cards from other factions probably will never be draftable. Should've done Songhai for potential inner focus cheese.

cpaf posted:I stumbled on it as a Hearthstone refugee, which I only played super casually (for a long time) and was still massively put off by how increasingly money gated it is/was becoming. Wouldn't be surprised if quite a few people come over as Blizzard fucks that game up more and more. I'd never heard of this game (or Faeria) though I played a fair bit of Scrolls when it came out, and I've been enjoying Duelyst quite a lot over the last week just after clicking this thread randomly Throw me in this bucket, too. I love a lot about Duelyst as a game, but the fact that it's literally, unambiguously pay to win (and not cheaply, either) has kinda put me off ever becoming an extremely dedicated player. I tried just playing Gauntlet forever to not have to deal with it, but part of what I love about card games is the freedom to make interesting decks. Which I can't really do if it takes me months to grind up the cards for a single decent deck. Also, I'm poo poo at gauntlet.

I've been playing shardbound while waiting to get into the duelyst ios beta and I'm liking it a lot despite it being in alpha. It plays a lot like it but the board is much more of a consideration because stuff like the high ground and line of sight really matters.

And on the topic of the payment model, I will say that it's incredibly annoying to come back after an absence and find out that, surprise, a bunch of cards got completely remade and the spirit I spent on them is now basically worthless as far as my decks are concerned.

Yeah I'm not really getting the Rift hate. I'm at lvl 19 Rating 812 with this deck: Faie Bloodwing Flash Freeze x3 Aspect of the Fox x2 Crescent Spear x1 (hoping to find more or similarly useful artifact) Crystal Cloaker x3 Cryptographer x 3 Chromatic Cold x3 Eight Gates x2 Bone Swarm x1 Frigid Corona x1 Punish x1 Fenrir Warmaster x3 Snowpiercer x2 Primus Shieldmaster x1 Young Flamewing x2 Earth Sphere x1 Trinity Oath x1 Cobra Strike x3 Arclyte Regalia x1 Arctic Displacer x2 Grandmaster Z'ir x1 Dark Nemesis x2 I'm hoping to get a Tempest. It seems to chew through people fairly well and seems very mana efficient. You get a lot of damage out of each turn. If Crescent Spear is currently already up, then Eight Gates, then Cobra Strike,then Warbird gives you 10 damage to the enemy general without having to be near them at all. I would like to eventually replace Either the Arctic Displacers or the Dark Nemesises with Spiral Techniques since the spell is a more reliable finisher.

I just got chewed up by your deck earlier today! Turns out trying to knock someone's Arclyte Regalia off with your face is a extremely terrible move. I've also been having fun in Rift mode, though I think the competition is in general just kind of soft (maybe due to a shallow player pool?). My deck is still Vanar with value cards and big finishers -- I would love to get wacky with blinding bangle + lyonar artifacts, but that's going to take some serious high rolling.

Yeah I've had to go through a lot of spirit to get the rolls needed to make my deck. That being said I dropped the Arctic Displacers for Circuluses which have made the deck even more obnoxious. I'd like to find some Void Pulses now to replace the Young Flamewings, but after that everything else will just be filler. Or another Arclyte Regalia. Grandmaster Z'ir is also pretty funny with this deck.

I picked this up again a few days ago, put down a couple of  for the expansion, and I'm loving it.Favorite decks are Lyonar/Vetruvian Golems. There's just so much synergy with golems now, Late Game Sirocco + Golem Vanquisher literally clogs up the entire board and the opponent can't move anything and it's won me more than a few games. Magmar Golems aren't as synergistic though. Edit: Had one endgame vs an Awesome-ized Lillith that I ended up winning because I had Sirocco and a Boulder Breacher and ended up drawing the other Breachers and just kept slaughtering the 5/5 wraithlings til they got to her and ended it. Love that deck. DMW45 fucked around with this message at 20:02 on May 21, 2017 |

I'm currently hovering between 1200 - 1300 for a last week in Rift. Deck is winning most of its games and I've been playing Grinch a few times now as well as a bunch of other repeats so I think I'm at the top of the pile along with a bunch of other players. It's almost a solo deck. I haven't decided if I should drop some of my early game minions for just more straight damage.
