Well, I created my Condemned Rune and it's probably bad but sometimes it works and that's funny. Basically I have cut out every single spell and have a follow-only deck because nothing feels worse than having Sephie in hand but not enough followers to use her fusion ability every turn. I also have like 9 different minions that are way too expensive to ever play, that I use solely as fusion fodder, and that's probably a bad thing but they're Condemned so she gets a little bonus! Anyway, Sephie herself is kind of insanely powerful but as expected it has anti-synergy with both Spellboost (spells in your hand slow you down) and Earth Rite (using up boardspace is incredibly bad because it prevents her finisher). So, uh, anyone have any recommendations for super awesome neutral followers I may have overlooked?

Probably uranus, since the test subjects are giving you card draw and what not

in general i think a good chunk of the festive stuff runecraft was running with focused on going through your deck quickly to empower cards will probably slot in well with the condemned gameplan

This might be the first time I go for a Portalcraft deck. Having more fun with it than the others though it seems slower than most other decks i've used.

I've been tentatively plugging cards into my budget dshift deck to see what works, but my main takeaway is that my deck and I are both rear end when the unlimited ranks have this many players.

My UID is 649283731. Just applied to the guild. For the temp decks, I think you're probably okay with either the Sword deck or the Shadow deck. Loot Sword is having a better showing on ladder right now so that's probably the safest pick but the Shadow deck has good cards. The Portal deck looks like a joke, honestly.  This is my Wrath Blood I've been running. It's doing pretty well, it's absolutely capable of killing people on T5/6. I don't know how much of that is people not being used to the matchups and when Garodeth can pop up though so things might change. This deck kind of has a rough time into other aggro decks though which is pretty funny.

Sometimes you play this game and you think you're going to win and then you learn there are combos that can kill you from full health from an empty board and you realize "drat that sucks" But then sometimes you play the ghost of an entire town and the enemy just sits there thinking for several seconds before conceding. Seriously that card is so funny.

Here is my dumbass no-spell Rune deck that's won like 7/8 matches in Unranked today, usually on turn 6: Yes, I did buy 6 useless legendaries just because they have the Condemned tag. Clarste fucked around with this message at 17:03 on Dec 28, 2022 |

I'm thinking I should avoid crafting rune stuff until the nerfs come through, because this meta doesn't sound like the kind that's allowed to last.

Spellboost is almost certainly getting hit very soon. Wrath may be possible as well since it's how a bunch of the first people to get Grandmaster did so but I'm pretty sure that deck is vulnerable to big wards at least.

No idea, but I don't want to test it. I also don't really feel like playing mirror matches to see who can get their degenerate combo down the fastest. I'm just chilling down in beginner rank where it's safe.

When they nerf cards, the cards that got nerfed give you full vials on refund. It doesn't do anything for the rest of the deck. In this case, unless they nerf Simael, I don't think you're really going to get much value back? Either way, worth waiting.

 got rid of most of the draw spells because you really don't need them with the draw 1s from your test subject feline magic is a really good pick for this type, since you can either use the followers as fusion fodder or cheap 2 attack spells if you need to bring a win over the finish line. owlcat girl has a simlar role too where its cheap to play, you banish a follower in your hand and put a new copy back in your deck, and it adds a follower in your hand for fusion fodder. so perfect to put your uranus cards deeper in the deck if you draw them too early. this is a fun deck type to play though so i don't see it being meta.

My no spell, all condemned version is actually doing surprisingly well (>50% win rate so far, but falling), but it's frustrating that the only reason I can't beat Spellboost Rune is because they don't actually clear my board enough for me to use my finisher on the turn before they use their wombo combo to kill me from full.

Incidentally, when do they usually release the story mode for the new expansion characters? I must admit I'm kind of curious about them, and based on the card flavor text they're all kind of more evil than I had imagined.

I'm wondering about that myself. I thought with the big trailer and the focus on new characters with actual stories, we'd be getting a story expansion soon. Especially since the last arc just finished up rather abruptly. also god drat, this wrath deck is a little stressful to pilot, going into t5, both players are one turn off lethal with the right hand

I recently had like a revelation that the Runecraft follower who makes you summon 3 golems across three turns (forgot her name, 4 cost earth rite, but can fuse to summon an earth sigil) also kind of functions as Storm, since the 2nd golem appears at the end of the ENEMY'S turn, meaning it can attack face immediately on your turn. Which means that even if the opponent is constantly clearing your board - which I just assume they will and in fact it's annoying if they don't - Sephie can deal 15 damage to face on turn 6. That's 2 5/5 chimeras, 1 3/3 golem, plus an evolve. Not bad at all! I feel like whenever they add more condemned followers that don't suck this deck up will explode.

I actually have no idea what deck I want to play at all, doesn't help that there doesn't seem to be a good..deck gallery anymore, tempostorm's one doesn't get used and well I don't know of any others I've gotten more assvault legendaries than I expected so far from the free draws though

I've had a couple games like that where they just give up once their combo ends. The strategies of Spellboost seem stressful

He's got a quick video on what appears to be the current best decks in the meta. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RXP_-YuWQA The tl;dw of it is that Wrath Blood, Last Words Shadow and Spellboost Rune look to be the current best decks in the meta. After that, we have Magachiyo Forest, Booty Sword, Armed Condemned Dragon, Amulet OTK Haven and Machina Portal looking like the best decks in those classes. Personally I'm not convinced Haven is that good but someone's going for Grandmaster with it so eh. Deck lists for all those decks from competitive players are in the video too. I was pretty happy when I saw my initial list for Wrath Blood that I just made up matched pretty closely, we only had a 5 card difference. Also every one of these OTK decks is capable of whiffing and getting a bad draw. I had a match vs Loot Sword that went to turn 11 because we both bricked.\ E - Discard Dragon from last expansion is also doing well again. Handless Blood is the same as the last expansion, I don't have lists for those on hand but let me know if you want them. Mysticblade fucked around with this message at 04:55 on Dec 31, 2022 |

My pulls so far seem to want me to play Magachiyo Forest (I've pulled 2 Mags, a Rayne and a Gilnelise, as well as nearly all the Golds required) but it's pretty drat hard to pilot and folds immediately to any wards whatsoever. Fun when it goes off though.

Odd, Magachiyo burst turns should be able to break most forms of ward. Nightshade Assassin will deal with the majority of things and Piercye can deal with wide boards. Which specific wards are you having issues with?
