Ive been doing fairly well. Blood got an incredible +8 healing swing with parish plus vira evolve. Add the card that gives us extra evolution points and you can play control until your end game of bandersnatch/spawn/purson. Spawn turn 8 into purson turn 9 is 17 dmg, 19 with an evolution point! Tenko shrine is a problem, i've been using the neutral 6 cost amulet destroyer but it costs way too much. I actually miss geryon... Im going to explore darkfeast bat again later because we got a ton of strong new cards that work with that archetype

Problem: There are three/four popular decks that will kill you dead if they reach turn 9. And blood main source of last-minute defense is a legendary that needs to be evolved and costs 2pp in a meta where everybody has a card that removes 2pp stuff.

I regularly hit the end game at at like 17 health which is just our of range for nore than a few kill combos. I think teching hp drain is the way to go. Won 8 of my last 10 games.

Jimmy, no offense, but in every single expansion you somehow manage to win your games with completely off-meta decks. Maybe you're extremely good at the game but most people won't get those results. Blood is just a turn too slow right now and it's the least played class for a reason. e: Just so you know, I have won 100% of my games against Blood with my janky-rear end homebrewed lion haven deck (maybe because I run themis?). And I have only lost one with my not-so-janky homebrewed puppet one (The game gave me 3 cocos and 3 archer ladies, so it was telling me to do it). trucutru fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Jul 1, 2018 |

Spellboost probably isn't actually good but it has the advantage that it will never ever lose to another bad deck (though it loses to every good non-dragon deck)

The clock is real. Right now people are switching to Lion Haven, more stormy midrange Swordcraft, more balanced 2TK Dragon decks (not only draw, draw, draw for *that* card decks), controlly Forest, and testing hybrid portal (I don't like it). Blood and Rune are more or less running the same stuff as day 1 and Shadow seems to be randomly throwing poo poo into their decks to see if something works. trucutru fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Jul 1, 2018 |

Here's the current iteration I think I should add a 1-drop of some kind just so I have a way to trigger Purson's accelerate on t10 or later. Waltz can probably go but he's done really well for me. Adds early pressure that I don't have otherwise, and on T6 if you play him + blood moon that moon will be around on T9 and you can roll it into something else. I've had a spawn come up off a moon, so there's always that!

How many Spawns and Pursons is that at the end there? As for decks I've tried in Rotation: - Tenko Shrine: This deck went from meme to good to disgusting in the span of a month. The version I run is minorly modified from before and still has Tenko herself in it, but she should probably just be the Hind instead since Aethers got ditched for De La Fille. - Ferry/Arcus/Ephemera Shadow: Cool when you get to turn 10 but it feels like it's lacking ways to really survive until then while also developing the Arcus. - Midrange and Control Forest featuring Korwa: A lot of fun. I've seen versions that also splash in Ipiria to be another enhanced Fil target besides the White Vanaras, too. - JormFeast: The various builds I've tried don't feel good but maybe they will get better with refinement. - Holy Lion: I haven't actually tried this yet but I run into it a lot and it seems good. It's also funny that the deck is made entirely of 1-3 cost cards in many cases. - Pupper Sniper Portal: Maybe not amazing but it's fun. Hard mulligan for Silva and pray you get to enhance as early as possible. - Reanimate Shadow: It's ok? I'm not super impressed with New Mordecai but this seems better than the Ferry/Arcus stuff right now. - Arulumaya Mysteria SBG: Clunky but cool when you get to keep playing stuff out and refilling. - Spellboost Rune: It's Spellboost.

Its 3 and 2. I seem to always draw a purson so I think it's fine as is. E: Thinking about it, I guess I'd be in trouble if I drew them both. It hasn't come up yet!

This deck is hilarious and what you want is plagued city to slow them down and insure a ward-less turn 10.

After trying out JormFeast some more, it sorta feels like the deck would be better off just ditching Jormungand and Nacht for better cards that aren't neutered by banish. The deck got plenty of cheap self-harm cards and more card draw off Alexandrite Demon so Darkfeast Bat can get pretty big all by itself.trucutru posted:This deck is hilarious and what you want is plagued city to slow them down and insure a ward-less turn 10. Yeah, the one I netdecked has 2 Plagued City in it. It feels ok in some matchups and terrible in others. The deck might need Proto Bahamuts I don't currently have since I've already spent like 70,000 vials just making decks for half the crafts.

cheetah7071 posted:I always forget how expensive decks are because I just main rune and roll over 2/3 of my deck from expansion to expansion Yeah, decks are ridiculously expensive nowadays. I usually get enough legendaries from a single class on the first day to be able to build a decent deck spending relatively few vials (exception: the time I got 4 unbodied witches), then I play one or two crafts with cheap decks like aggro forest or dirt rune, and -if there is some playstyle that seems really fun- I splurge into a final deck once the meta is set, specially if it seems like it'll be nerfed. I have crafted and gotten my money back with Alice, Spawn, Aria, Snow White, Eachtar (took a while) and other obviously mega-busted cards. This lets me save me enough to build any single deck if I really wanted to and, as a bonus, has me bouncing from class to class, although I have never really given blood a serious try. Favorite class is still forest. Roaches are the best waifus. As for dailies it is not so bad as you can run cheap aggro decks in unlimited to clear them. Currently I have a 9 games win streak with aggro dragon in masters. Also, I refuse to re-craft the whore of babylon, snow white, since she's rotating out soon. So my haven decks are always a little bit sub-optimal. It's kind of sad that Cygames doubled down with the cheapo legendaries that can be used in pretty much any deck with the accelerate stuff and more 2pp legends. Which reminds me that I might craft a couple of legendary fighters just to run them everywhere. trucutru fucked around with this message at 07:19 on Jul 2, 2018 |

Jabberwock still isn't the most consistent thing in the world but it's super scary now that dragon has two expensive storm threats it wants to run. I copied BluReboot's list and I've been having fun with it so far. I also like the tech choice of a single Proto Bahamut to be fetched by enhanced Lyria: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbX6n3iS_rQ Blu also has a Purson Blood deck that's got some different things going on from your list, if you were curious, Jimmy Hats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bouMcZP49aQ

Someone in the general chat thread just got into this and wanted some starting advice. First off, if you're reasonably convinced you'll be interested to play this long-term, consider rerolling. The easiest way to do this is on an android emulator with macros, because you can reset your account without having to redownload all the data every time. What you're looking for is a decent number of high-quality legendary cards from more recent sets (mostly just excluding Wonderland Dreams because it's rotating out soonish). Do not reroll if you have a low tolerance for tedium or if you aren't reasonably convinced you might play long term. It just isn't worth it. Past that, try to play the first 8-9 or so chapters of each hero's storyline (up until they enter the Nexus). This will give you a decent feel for which classes you like and dislike. If there's any classes you particularly dislike, one easy way to break into getting a good deck is to vial every single card of the classes you don't like. Right now the cheapest good deck is Holy Lion Havencraft (list), which only plays one legendary card which isn't even very essential to the deck. Once you've gotten a feel for what deck you want to try to play, just work towards that--as a beginner, both ranked and unranked modes will be pretty soft, with unranked in particular having many people playing completely untuned decks (what I like to call the "dragoncraft cards I own" style decks). You can get a bunch of rewards by doing private matches (this discord is a great way to arrange private matches with strangers), by playing take two with the tickets you get from story mode, or by doing the harder chapters of story mode. Honestly, you basically can't go wrong just playing--the way rewards are structured, you get something for the first few times you do just about anything.

cheetah7071 posted:If there's any classes you particularly dislike, one easy way to break into getting a good deck is to vial every single card of the classes you don't like. You'll eventually want to have some kind of deck for all the classes to complete your daily missions (even if it's just a cheap budget aggro deck where you just pray that the opponent doesn't get going before you kill them). At least look up what cards are used in those decks and keep them, because crafting cards you've vialed before is super inefficient. Also here are the easy sources of gold I can think of: - 20 private matches - Singleplayer storyline, as far as you can go. If you lose two times in a row, the game recommends using the prebuilt decks. If you say yes there, you can use that deck for free! - Defeat the Elite and Elite 2 AI for each class - Level all classes to level 140 (more longterm, but you can just use some macro recording thing and keep running the tutorial mission for each class overnight) Doing all of this should get you enough gold to buy like 150 packs of cards, probably more. Or you could just play Take 2 (Arena) forever. You always get a card pack for playing Take 2, even if you lose all rounds. If you win 2 of the 5 rounds it's almost breaking even with just buying packs, 3+ wins is like buying packs at a discount. Using Take 2 tickets is pure profit.

Also, the Spanish official site leaked a description of a new keyword "Materialization". As far as I understood, it works something like this: If conditions described on the card with "Materialization" are met, at the end of your turn, put that card into play (if there are multiple copies of the card, this effect only activates once). Both followers and amulets can have this keyword. Presumably the cards would have to be in your hand, but I'm not completely sure.

Based on the theming of these people as putting you through trials, I expect most/all of them to be of the form "If you meet <hard-ish condition>, do <broken effect>"

No Wave posted:Whats interesting is that you can run 3 of that guy, which means we fortunately won't ever see the hearthstone situation where you always just shove all the highlander synergy cards into the same deck. This is the "Omen of One" after all. I assume each of them will have a different number-based gimmick.

The current expansion was complete rear end and it could be felt from day 1 as I helpfully mentioned a few months ago by saying that "it sucks balls". In general, the approach the developers have take for the game has reduced counter-play enormously and game have devolved into a race to deploy your finishers that doesn't care much about what the opponent is doing. Hopefully the next expansion will do something for the game, but I am not too hopeful. But it's good to hear you picked the game again, I hope you enjoy it.

The game is having trouble because too many decks require you to have a heavy legendary investment. that kind of situation appeals to Dedicated players, ranked players, and the whales but it turns off the Casual players that these other players want to play against. Personally I'm not going to drop 20,000 or more vials on a deck that will cover a single class and may not be viable a month from now. I also have a problem with over tuned gold or silver cards that are practically a staple. it almost feels like they deliberately overtune certain cards to encourage people to buy more packs.
