Another reroll result with 7 Legendaries, but I'm not really interested in playing dragoncraft. Archiving this account for now

Oops didn't even see that.

I've recorded a macro now, so the rerolling process has been reduced to
start the macro-->come back a few minutes later-->open the packs-->clear the data-->repeat

I'll let that run a few more times, but if I don't get anything better, I'll start a shadowcraft deck with this then

Sticking with this roll.

For anyone who doesn't want to bother rerolling, I have these starting rolls to give away:

1 - Ancient Elf, Sun Oracle Pascale, Gabriel, Enstatued Seraph, Dragonsong Flute, Queen Vampire, Skullfane

2 - 3x Dark Angel Olivia, Alexander, Erasmus

3 - 3x Dragonsong Flute (1 Animated), 2 x Enstatued Seraph, 1x Tsubaki, 1x Lord of the Flies

Game-ai just showed off a blood deck that managed to get a 27 game win streak on master rank because it beats D-shift, Combo Elf and Storm Haven.
It only costs 6500 vials, needing only 5 golds and no legendaries. Expect to see this a lot in the near future.

I love being new to a card game and coming across super weird cards. Managed to clinch out a tough Take Two game with 2 HP left, and on the last turn my opponent played Alexander. Why would you even need to attack that many times?!

There's that Bone Chimera, that splits into two skeletons on death (and there may be other cards that do similar things?).
If you manage to get the whole board full of them (Probably with some Urd / Ceridwen / Resurrection shenanigans), then 14 is the exact number of attacks needed to clear the board: the 5 starting units, and 9 skeletons, because the first kill can only spawn one skeleton.

So, does this game rankings reset once a month or something like that?

Otherwise, why are there so many $$$ decks at D0? I mean, there is no way they could suck that much, right?

(Although I did beat a wallet warrior who used Otohime when I had 2 untargetable monsters on the field, so I just outraced his rear end. I bet he died with a hand full of legendaries).


No, the monthly score rewards reset (last tab in the mission screen), but the rankings don't.
There are good decks in D rank, because other people know about rerolling as well. There are also people who deliberately stay in the low ranks by conceding a bunch to make their dailies / monthly score grind easier.

Banner/Ohata Sword (3 Alwida)

A version of the deck based around Royal Banner and damage out of hand with Storm minions has largely displaced it these days. Phoneposting but look for a deck called Banner Swordcraft or Ohata Royal.

:eng101: It's really pronounced Mihata when talking about a banner, but Google Translate turns it into Ohata for some reason (probably because that's a surname?)

Do card packs open automatically? I seem to have gotten complete garbage if that's the case.


Also rerolling is just making new accounts until you open good stuff from packs? I guess I won't bother, that sounds like a lot of :effort:

You can't really miss the pack opening, so you probably haven't opened any of them. Go to the shop and buy packs with the tickets you have.

Yes, rerolling is exactly that.

so another newbie question, should i be focusing on buying the standard set of the expansion with my gold?

edit: focusing on forest if that changes anything

If you want to go all :science: about it, you can use this spreadsheet some guy on Reddit made
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ExJqcph6Giee2CFGlu9qAGtTQz7l0koiI5zvPZYxod4/edit#gid=877059207



It's showing that Standard packs would be more valuable for me when going for a full collection (because I already have most of the bronze/silver cards in Darkness), but Darkness packs have the higher value for the cards I care about.
Of course, you need to input your whole collection so prepare for some :effort:

If you set the right filters in the card manager, you can just write down the numbers without even looking at the card names, so it's not *that* bad.

Got two packs from dailies, got Prince of Darkness and Lucifer. What the hell, why is my luck this good? :psyduck:

What the heck does Prince of Darkness do? It said it replaces your deck with a 10 card deck but there's no data about what cards are in it. Is one of the cards "you win!"?

The apocalypse deck contains these cards:

3x 5 mana follower, 13/13
3x 6 mana follower, 8/8 with storm
3x 7 mana spell: deal 7 damage (to an enemy unit or leader), restore 7 hp to you
1x 10 mana spell: Set opponents HP to 1

Also important to know, if you kill yourself during your turn, you are the one that loses. This is mostly relevant for simultaneous damage effects, like Demonic Storm. There's no actual way to draw as far as I know.

I lost a game against a Rune player, who killed me with the very last card in his deck, a Magic Missile (Deal 1 damage to an enemy. Draw a card). The card draw would have killed him, but in this case, the damage was evaluated first.

I don't know if it's a bug on the mobile client but sometimes I drag the card I want, the card to the right is pulled instead. It made me look retarded when I played Angelic Barrage into a forest field that was immune to spell cards.

That happens when you drag a card diagonally across an adjacent card you can play, so don't do that. Drag the cards straight up, or just right click them (needs to be enabled in the options)

Lord Ephraim posted:

BTW what's the fastest you can actually win a match? I won a match against a bloodcraft player turn five after he played 3 blood wolves when most of my early draws were quickbladers and novice troopers. We both went face when I drew another novice trooper to finish him off. I actually would have lost if I didn't top deck all those storm cards; there was only 5 HP left on myself.

Turn 4 is possible even without the enemy damaging themselves with this:

quote:

Turn 1 Burial Grounds
Turn 2 Ghoul's Banquet, Skeleton Fighter, Atomy
Turn 3: Buff Atomy to 10, attack
Turn 4: Attack for lethal

I don't think there's a way to win on turn 3, even with the opponent cooperating (damaging themselves, or buffing your units)

You get ~100 vials per pack on average. Haven has top-tier decks that cost around 20,000 dust. So you'll need to disenchant 200 packs if you are extremely unlucky with your pulls. If you go and buy all those packs immediately (like a loving idiot) that'll be 400 dollars.

On the other hand, I have been playing for 2 weeks I already have a deck (banner sword) that could push me into masters if I gave any fucks about that for a grand total of $0. It's around 5,000 vials.

Really good aggro decks cost around 15k vials, while the control ones are 30k or so.

If you liquefy everything, 100 vials isn't the average, 120 is the minimum (7 bronze + 1 silver). The average, if you go by the official drop rates is ~470.

Couldn't screenshot on my phone but got my first two legendary in one pack. It's a Cerberus and Aurelia!

However, I already own 3 of them. They could have thrown me a bone and make them at least animated. Oh well, 2000 free vials.

I'm contemplating liquifying my second Tsubaki, I don't see any swordcraft deck where I might need two.


Working with shadowcraft , I feel like it's really weak. An aggro deck using Cerberus + Phantom Howl 9 instant face damage but it runs out of gas past turn 7. I can't SMOrc early since everyone runs the dancing unicorn girl. What cards can I add to give it some steam later in the game? Mordecai is too slow.
