Jcam posted:Finally managed to slap together the Bravo deck I’ve wanted to play for a while, and did my first Blitz event tonight. Exactly the playstyle shift I wanted as a break from three or four straight months of Kano in both CC and Blitz, my brain needed a vacation. For even more of a vacation, try running a Prism deck. Every attack action has a cost of 1 or 2, and the only other cards you care about cost 4. Just... don't actually expect to win, Prism is kind of bad at Blitz because of Phantasm on all her attack actions.

I'm looking forward to Everfest, and as a Prism player, I'll just say that Prism didn't really get much from the set (I don't think anything actually works with her mechanic in the set) but Illusionists as a whole got some good cards. I'm looking forward to playing around with 0-cost auras and selling Prism's Shields for silver.

Our store had to postpone their Farewell to Rathe event because of public health restrictions, so we missed out on being in the big draw. Ah well.

I didn't pull any Ls or the gem from my case, but I did get a cold foil crown and the extended art Guardian armor, so I shouldn't complain too much. Now I just need to see about picking up the Ms that I need for my dumb deck ideas.

I'm playing jn my local PQ on Sunday, asking around, it sounds like there's going to be 3-4 Prisms, so... Fractal is going to be pulling some weight I think. I'm not expecting to win or even make the top 8, but if I do somehow squeeze in, then I can at least hope for the Cold Foil Prism.

jeeves posted:It just seems self-defeating to make a product and label it as “meant for new players!” and yet almost entirely include stuff only current players would want, like foil versions of old cards and stuff. I think a big bar of entry right now is how warping legendary equipment can be, and long-term players usually have most if not all of the equipment for their characters. I know LSS has been coming out with lower powered M versions, so hopefully they'll ban L equipment in blitz after another set or two. Or more places need to run commoner formats and just allow a new player to enter with one of the premade blitz deck despite them breaking the rules of commoner.

Pyronic posted:The thing about Skullcap and Tunic is that there just weren't similar enough equipment in those slots (or more variety) Skullcap is basically worthless if we get a 2 defense temper helm with any ability on it in a non-arcane meta. Oh, I know, but then you also have stuff like Valiant Dynamo and Crown of Seeds effectively giving +1 health every turn, Braveforge Bracers giving a repeatable +1 atk, New Horizon giving much more flexibility to Rangers, ect ect. It can be discouraging for a new player to come in, and then get curbstomped because their opponent's equipment can just generate so much more value even over a shorter format like blitz, and most of the equipment is 3-figures in cost still. Hopefully the Historic packs will help curb the cost though.

I think they're starting to head in that direction, Everfest had a few M equipment that were similar-to-but-weaker versions of L equipment (Earthlore Bounty to Tectonic Plate, and Mask of the Pouncing Lynx to Mask of Momentum, and Vexing Quillhand to Grasp of the Arknight). They're still powerful cards compared to the common equipment for those slots that you want if you're running those classes and not running the L equipment, but they're also $5-10 instead of $100+. Plus considering the faster style of Blitz, you're liable to get as much (or more) use out of them than the L equivilants.

I could be wrong, but I THINK the blank equipment is the most expensive of the three. The Even Bigger Than That is a full-art variant, the other is just a standard promo. Dunno how much they're worth offhand though.
