I'm just opening a new account and I re-rolled: 2x Crystalia Tia 1x Moon Al mi'raj 1x Sun Oracle Pascale 1x Lord of the Flies 1x Mithril Golem Given that 35 packs are different from the 25 in the OP was wondering if this was a decent outcome. (I can't figure out how to save the XML) Forestcraft is 100% the class I'm most interested in because it seems like a well-made version of Rogue in HS, and I also got three Elf Girl Lizas so I'm probably going to stick with this No Wave fucked around with this message at 16:50 on Nov 27, 2016 |

Indecisive posted:You could do better if you tried longer probably but 2 Tia is definitely a good start for a forest deck, you'll want ancient elves too but those are in the base set which you get less free packs of do getting both is pretty unlikely I think.

I will say the extent to which I'm seeing full-on 30k control netdecks (with emoting and BM) at beginner 2 is at least familiar.

I played take two twice. After stunningly winning with forestcraft in my very first arena game against swordcraft, I lost the next four. For the next one, I drafted runecraft having never played it before and during my first game I realized playing story mode first might have been a better idea after I filled my board with five earth rites No Wave fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Nov 28, 2016 |

Somehow got an animated ancient elf and a rhinoceroach in the same pack. The shadowverse gods have blessed my tempo forestcraft dreams. So I'm 2 legendaries, 2 golds off of having the cheapest version of the whole thing, which is kind of crazy given that I've only crafted one gold card towards it so far. My concern is the way that unranked works - apparently it's fairly unsophisticated and it only pairs you against people in your rank? It makes it tough to choose how you want to approach having one amazing deck and a bunch of mediocre ones. No Wave fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Nov 29, 2016 |

A few random questions: How hard is it to reach Master in Shadowverse vs Legend in HS? What happens when a card is nerfed? Do you get full vial value?

I didn't really get it at all the first few times I saw him, but there's a reason he's the most popular streamer by about a mile (and for a game mode that's really unpopular otherwise). Also, just beat all the Elite AIs in one go with an imcomplete tempo forestcraft (still running Tam Lins because I only have one Ancient Elf for example) - the one exception was Runecraft, who I beat with Havencraft first try. Pretty easy 14 packs.

Running that death ward thing is nice against broken aria (at least in dumpster) Tempo forest seems totally broken also, Tia and the rhinoceroach make it a combo deck as well as a mid-range deck that can handle too many different archetypes, and ancient elf ensures it doesn't run out of steam It can screw the opponent over from almost any position

Tia, Ancient Elf, Cynthia, and Rhinoroach are all insane so they'd have to nerf a lot to make it unplayable My amateur guess js that a rhinoroach nerf would take it well out of tier 1 tho

trucutru posted:Again, the approach is different. 8 cards instead of 5 is nice but then you could argue that running 3 copies of a card instead of 2 in your (larger) deck balance this out. The point is that Shadowverse tries to make pretty much all its money from a very small group of whales, like all JP waifu games, and offers all the free poo poo in hopes of getting more whales to wander in. That said doing all your quests in SV takes a lot more commitment because you can't queue quests from different days. No Wave fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Dec 2, 2016 |

My take 2 record so far: first time: 1-4 forestcraft second time: 0-5 runecraft (retired after first game realizing I'd drafted mostly earth sigils) third time: 5-0 swordcraft featuring Tsubaki, Wind God, and ambush cheese This included facing dark angel olivia twice. The real unfair part of swordcraft is that avant blader thing imo. Also why is Mentor's teachings not used in constructed? Seems like a great card. Does swordcraft have card draw that's even more efficient?

trucutru posted:The thing about the fencer is that produces 3 officers, which can be pumped by your commanders the next turn, creating all kinds of awkward trades and being difficult to remove. Floral Fencer is better first, to help you snowball, and much worse than Avant if you cannot evolve her. Sword tends to have the board in the early game (or go second and have the floral get i) and that makes florals really shine, since they cannot drop and 2-for-1 enemies in a single turn like most of the others do.

Is everyone in arena a bot? Almost all of my opponents play really fast and evolve on 4/5/6 or 5/6 like clockwork even when there might be a better play later.

Nehru the Damaja posted:In aggressive decks yeah but I'm talking in the more general sense. Beatdown vs. Control in terms of which role you're put into in the match, regardless of what your archetype is. You might be the beatdown in a Take Two match but you're still probably playing a tempo oriented pile of whatever you could put together just like your opponent. In those situations I still see so many people pop evolves just to force damage and get punished for it. Force that extra 2 damage now and get punished when a Themis or Fafnir or Death's Breath or something leaves you on the back foot. Last draft had a Prince of Darkness who cheesed two of my four wins... The second was completely criminal (Astaroth into the 7 damage spell)

I don't really "get" Shadowcraft or how you're supposed to play it. It seems like they only have three really good cards (Death's Breath, Phantom Howl, and Cerberus) and you just sort of muddle around and hope Cerberus gives you enough reach to finish the game.

I didn't get why shadowcraft was supposed to be so good in take two, but then I drafted two Mordecais in a deck with lots of wards (including the 6 mana 5/5 guy). Not really fair.

TBH I think ancient elf, forte, and cerberus are in a tier of their own for being 3-ofs in every conceivable build for their class and being so important to winning with any build at all

Very interesting news: https://twitter.com/shadowversegame/status/809744925457727488 Only applies to p2w scum. Apparently the first deck you buy is 500 crystals and each subsequent deck is 750 crystals. Not sure if that means per class. Bought purely for vials, each deck is: 2000 + 1250 + 650 + 200 about 4100 vials. This is much better than buying packs for 100 crystals and purely for vials is comparable to buying packs for 50 crystals at the 500 crystal cost, but buying 50 crystal packs is better for the 750 crystal cost of the deck. That's purely for vials. The fact that none of these decks will likely contain trash legendaries makes them a really good deal if you feel like paying.

It's pretty surprising to me that they dont make animateds craftable. There's literally nothing you can use vials for once you have all the cards which I assume happens pretty fast for the whales.
