How's twin fang for magmar? I was thinking of trying to make it work in a psuedo control deck.
>>
>>122609108
It can be a game breaker, i once got to +26 before the opponent quit. Its not a control card though, its more of a midrange combo card. You need a few minions with decent health on the board to slug it out and get the ball rolling.

>>122609991
I don't have many Magmar cards beyond Twin Fang x2, but you don't need anything special. I mostly just stick in a lot of cheap efficient pump targets, pump cards and boilerplate spells. You hold onto Twin Fang until you have a stable board position, then play it and throw your minions it stuff. It lets you turn an unremarkable board position into a nightmare, since your opponent will have to choose between avoiding combat or risk taking massive damage.
>>
>>122611771
That's why I was thinking of taking my control shell and making it a little more aggressive but the plan is to stall until I can get a huge twin fang

Have fun with board clear cards.

>>122623084
It's gotten me to rank 8 so far. I'll probably remove some of it when I get some more of the cards I want, but until then I've kind of come to terms with just getting dicked by board clears. It rarely happens though because my games are always a rush for board control so my wraithlings die really quickly. Made a post last thread about my deck and shit so I'm not going back over that but Shadowdancers are huge dispel bait apparently.

>>122626125
I have a Vetruvian player who literally did nothing for the first two turns before conceding. He was active, though, because he picked his opening hand and definitely was present to manually end the turn instead of let the timer run out. He didn't even move or anything.
>>
>>122626495
He probably got the worst draws in the world with a blast/artifact deck. It's strange that he didn't move or play at all, though. You would think he had at least one play.
>>
>>122626495
Maybe he was testing to try to find the least possible time to concede and still get credit towards a daily quest.

Speaking of which, does anyone know this value?
>>
>>122598709
Few questions:
>How do you get more cards, is it paid only?
>Is there much variety in your builds or are cards generally designed to go into a specific deck?

Thanks for the answers, I hadn't heard about this game before.
>>
>>122627171
You get gold from daily quests, winning 2 games, and doing the tutorial training things. Packs are 100 gold and have 5 cards, one being guaranteed rare or better. Game has decent variety, but there are class exclusive cards and some cards are straight up better than others.
>>
>>122627171
You play matches and complete missions/quests earn in-game gold, which can be used to purchase orbs (i.e. packs).

There are six different playabale factions, and each faction has its own exclusive cardpool. There's a large swath of neutral cards that can be played as well, but ultimately, the faction you pick determines many of the cards available to you; you can't mix-and-match factions.
>>
>>122627171
Get cash by winning games, daily wins, doing quests or finishing challenged, then buy a spirit orb and open it to get 5 cards.
This game is literally a heartstone clone.
>>
>>122627085
I hate getting quests for classes I never play. Since I'm ~rank5 I have to queue into people with actual decks and they're probably wondering how the fuck I got to that rank when they see me throw down golems and shit.
>>
>>122627085
You have to play 5 minions
>>
>>122627171
As a card game vet, the variety is actually really good, especially considering the relatively small card pool. Multiple builds with every faction, lots of variety within those builds. It could be that the game is still in its infancy but either way I'm pleased with it.

And I'd wager that most people here are completely f2p or have spent very little on the game at most. Game's a lot easier to get into than other online card games I know of. Unless you like Vet.

If I was going to cut things for Rejuvenators I might cut the Scarabs over Obelysk/Orbs. Replacing a three drop with a four drop weakens the deck early, but there's much less of a difference between four mana and five because you can't play ether on your opening turn.

That said, thanks for the advice.

It gives you shitload of cards.
One of the best f2p games out there.
>>
>>122664421
Not at all, really. You get plenty of cards on a good tick.
>>
>>122664106
The deck building is super restrictive, imagine magic without the ability to splash colours. It is a fun game but it needs a lot of work on the building aspect before it'd be worth putting money into.
>>
>>122664421
Not very P2W at all.

In low ranks, you can get by with the starter decks. By the time you get to higher ranks, you will have enough gold for decent cards.
>>
>>122664421
Pox Nora is the superior strategy game, don't start playing Duelyst
>>
>>122664421
You can have fun without spending money.

But if you want to win tournaments or reach the top of the ladder without buying orbs, you should be prepared for some grinding.

>>122664760
What kind of decks do you find fun?

A lot of cards have pretty neat effects because of positioning.
>>
>>122664824
Balance is shit
it's P2W as fuck
>>
>>122664760
Each faction has its own distinct mechanics, and there are other card mechanics that intersect cleanly with the turn-based strategy gameplay. Check that Getting Started link in the OP for a short primer and the different factions.
>>
>>122664824
It was blatantly P2W a decade ago so I can't imagine it's any good now

I use a Skull Servant deck in Yugioh because I like being able to bring back cards constantly, and making a looming threat of a stupid powerful beat stick. I also just like skeletons. In MtG I was using a population deck for awhile, and while I liked it I wouldn't call it a favorite. I'm too poor to try many other MtG options though.

I like a lot of things, just no burn decks, and I want my opponent to have fun too.

>>122664898
Alright will do.
>>
>>122665067
I guess you want to play an Abyssian deck with Deathwatch and Sarlac?

Effects that trigger every time something dies, paired with a unit that can die infinite times.
>>
>>122665067
>no burn decks
Avoid Songhai, then.
>I want my opponent to have fun too.
That's a bit more subjective.
>>
>>122665248
That sounds like a lot of fun, ya.

>>122665260
Burn with a gimmick is fine. Like I recently made a deck on Dueling Network that has every card either flip a coin, roll a dice, or have my opponent guess. Basically everything is a game of chance. It can only really win through burn, but it doesn't feel like a burn deck. It's also incredibly shit

I'll just look at my options for cards, I'm sure I'll find something that looks fun. Is there a decently large card list right now though? Newer card games always suffer from few options.
>>
>>122665410
There's faction-distinct cards as well as a large "neutral" pool. There's enough variety that you can pull off several different varieties of deck with each faction.
>>
>>122665516
Apart from ranked ladder play (which uses your pre-constructed decks), there's also the Gauntlet, where you basically pick a faction and draft a deck on the spot before competing in multiple matches in a row.
>>
>>122665410
The card list isn't exactly huge right now, but there are still several archetypes for each faction, with any number of variations on each.

The meta isn't really set in stone yet.
>>
>>122665516
>>122665778
Alright, well I guess all that's left is to make an account and take a look.
>Meta
I play Skull Servants, meta means nothing to me.

Anyway, so it says there's a referral code here. I assume I can take the chance to help an anon out by saying they referred me? Anyone want me to use there's? I'll use the first posted.

>>122665410
The card pool is limited for now, but it allows for enough different deck archetypes and win conditions that it's sufficient for now for casual play. The meta was figured out fairly quickly (as expected, a lot of people are invested in the game already) so there are three / four top tournament decks.

If you're coming from card games, you might have the gut instinct that card draw is important. It's not - your maximum hand size is six, you draw two cards at the end of each turn and you can replace one card in your hand with a card from the deck per turn. If an effect forces you to draw a card when your hand is full, the card is simply lost. Hand consistency is therefore pretty high compared to Hearthstone and MTG.

Keep in mind that positioning is a very important aspect of the game, and that careful bodyblocking can mean the difference between win or loss.

Unless you have a finely tuned gameplan in mind, it's worth stocking 3 Repulsor Beasts (enter the battlefield effect of sending an adjacent minion to any space on the battlefield) and 3 Ephemereal Shrouds (enter the battlefield effect of removing all abilities and gained bonuses from an adjacent minion), they are of incredible value.

>>122666080
Referral code is "redditpals", there are no real user codes. Gives you bonus gold I believe.
>>
>>122666370
Oh okay, well bonus gold sounds nice.
>Those draw mechanics
That's pretty refreshing, keeping a good bit of RNG but also mitigating it a bit. I like that. Ya I've played one or two games like this, at least enough that it's not completely alien to me. Thanks for the card recommendations, those sounds pretty insane, especially the repulsor beasts.

MTG slang, basically means something like "chance of having the card you want to play". High hand consistency means that your deck usually has an answer in hand for any board situation or can quickly acquire one. Low hand consistency means the opposite.

>>122666637
The Le Balanced Houns of Big Plays and Value Dispel Doge are pretty top tier, yeah. They can sometimes even trade.

I've played a few games as the swarmy abyss chick. Game seems fun. How does getting new cards work? I noticed a lot of new ones are just auto added to my starter deck, can I disassemble the deck and tinker with it? If I do that will I be matched up against people who did the same or is the custom deck and starter deck queue the same?
>>
>>122672761
STOP THE LIPS THINGY YOU FUCKING MEME ARTIST

>>122673893
Queues are the same. You buy cards with gold. You can use starter deck cards in custom decks.

>>122674005
Alright neat, I'll start tinkering then. Also real quick, what are the colours for rarities? I want to know when to get excited.

>>122674063
No color = basic (you start with 3 of them and you can't pull or craft them)
White = common
Blue = rare
Purple = epic
Orange = legendary

I don't believe you can actually disassemble the starter decks, but you can always build new decks from your collection.
>>
>>122673893
I like the playstyle of the Abyssian starter deck. Deathwatch and lots of weenies/tokens/dudes means some board control and threats that get bigger the more creatures that die.
>>
>>122674404
Oh so cards aren't consumed by being in a deck, alright.

>>122674560
Ya, I like the amount of body blocking I can do with it. I just noticed how many free neutrals I have, so I'm putting a new one together now. Guess I'll stick with abyssian.
>>
>>122674687
>I just noticed how many free neutrals I have

Why is Songhai the most heavily marketed faction when it quite literally doesn't rely on any kind of strategy ? It's an efficient faction but it's entirely built around dealing damages through spells or rush /reactivated minions, they can completely ignore board control and be just fine with it.
