So after not having played in several days since starting due to silly reasons like depression I'm finally cracking down and constructing a deck, disenchanting cards and such. I have a Black Locust and a Paddo that I want to dust for some Magmar essentials like Elucidators (which I need two of currently), are either of those cards worth holding onto at all or can I just go ham?

both of those legos are considered pretty mediocre. i'm not the most knowledgeable player, but i think you can safely scrap those two

also, refer to http://forums.duelyst.com/t/legendaries-epics-disenchanting-guide-by-ryan-peppr/21322 if you'd like. it also suggests dusting those two.

i have paddo myself, and i had to take him out because he was doing more harm than good. that ability is hella rng

i still kept him because i keep all my shit because i'm a gigantic autist, but you should be safe to kill them

just don't kill yourself. you're worth more than 350 to me!

I was just going for an aggro shell for now. I kind of want to do a bit of quick climbing anyway just to see how far I can go. I settled on Magmar because they are the most mechanically similar to things like Jund, Junk, Shaman, and other midrangey playstyles.

Its like hearthstone meets poxnora if you know what that is, if you dont then fire emblem is close enough.

It's a cross between Fire Emblem and Hearthstone, with not so much a focus on RNG like HS does.

>>123146695
That is vanars only removal card

magmar has nat selection, egg morpg, metamorphasis and plasma storm
>>
>>123146695
Vanar's removal is arguably better

Vanar control vs Magmar control is actually a good matchup for Vanar
>>
Why dont people play their silithar elders away from the fight? They always play them on the frontline so the general and his minions can kill the egg and him.

If they dont have exact removal for his egg, him, and the egg he drops on the turn hes played you have an unstoppable engine of death
>>
>>123146792
Can you show me how a Vanar control deck looks like?
>>
>>123146915
Because the elder is a huge body?
>>
>>123146960
So what if its a huge body, it requires an insane amount of on hand removal if you dont it where things hit it.

Off the top of my head it dark transformation and breath of the unborn, sunbloom and martyr and meta/plasma storm and all of those are insane combo's that requires both luck and their entire turn. With the exception of lyonar but that heals you for 8 so you know
>>
>>123147242
sometimes you just need to put something between you and the enemy. Ideally, you should be putting it away from the front lines in order to maximize the chance of a reproduction. But sometimes it can buy you a turn to draw another removal spell or force your opponent to trade a creature or something to remove it.

Im gonna give you a protip here

Fuck blast. Not every vetruvian runs it and the ones that do requires you to have another artifact in addition because 2 damage aint shit.

The same goes for the 2-1 blast. If you cant clear it in 1-2 turns then you just wait for him to inevitably buff it so when you do draw silence/removal youll actually be getting value

I have never lost a game to blast but ive lost plenty to stars fury

>>123149064
if you just flat out nerfed them right now, i think you'd end up making them useless

they're already super weak to dispel, leaving them a 0 attack punching bag, and even then they tend to start out weak unless you can pump out a lot of minions in a short period of time, making them pretty useless unless you already have decent control of things

i do think they could use some kind of change, i just don't know what would work
>>
>>123149401
I've always asked myself why the hell it has 9 hp, it feels so arbitrarily high.

Even if it gets dispelled it's a 9 health body that helps you to disrupt the enemy formation and is healthy enough to last till late game so it gets third wish'd
>>
Why is Holy Immolation allowed?
>>
>>123149401
>super weak to dispel
>in the faction with third wish and free +1/+1

Not even. They need to be 6 health so you can actually kill them with your early game minions and they actually need to be be babysat a bit before they murder your face.

Vetruvian has no weaknesses and dominate every tournament despite every deck being built to counter them.
>>
>>123149592
fair enough, i didn't really consider the hp as being an issue. you could definitely drop a few points there and they'd still be viable i think
>>
>>123149826
why is vetruvian allowed
>>
>>123150303
Because they don't have Holy Immolation

You know what Vetruvian needs? A Celerity Artifact. Everyone already has at least two thematic artifacts and they're completely better than Vet's. Vet needs more love.
>>
>>123150719
if you want to

a single stars fury and aymara healer doesn't make a deck, but it's a start

vetruvian isn't very good out of the box and requires some synergy to get itself going, so don't expect ez wins if it's a budget deck

>>
>>123151470
oh shit you were serious?

i mean they already have hexblade for a gimmicky artifact. also that spell is pretty bad so nobody really uses it

besides, i think something that either spawns or buffs dervishes would be a little more thematic. dervish decks in general need something more going for them. maybe an artifact that gives them +1 movement square, or makes obelysks immune to spells, i don't know
>>
>>123151429

It's mid tier vanar card. If you have something you're looking to craft it's a safe dust.
>>
>>123159727
Otherway around m8
>>
>>123159886

I was just trying to say you avoid one thing by walking right into something worse, but yeah it does make sense with the whole blast thing. Point is you can't reliably play around Vet if they run both Starfury combo and blast.
>>
>>123159939
why? why can't you?

people keep saying this, but just where the fuck is the blast coming from?

it either has to be a 1 hp pyromancer which is easily dealt with, a scarab which is worth removal/dispel, neither of which can attack on the turn they're dropped in anyway, or from their general, which, unless they couple it with another artifact, is only doing 2 damage

the only way you're going to get hit for huge blast damage out of nowhere is if they've got an ankh + staff + silhouette tracer all in their hand at once, and it's late enough in the game they can play all that for the 9 mana

there's absolutely no reason you need to be spreading your units out to avoid blast at all times

complain about fucking scion's third wish, sure, please do, that shit's retarded. but fucking BLAST? jesus christ
>>
>>123160713
A lot of people do have the scarab (he's not bad) or Aymara, or the artifact combo, also advancing in line is total dogshit.

Also
>You need tracer for teh combo !11
No, you don't.
>>
>>123143372
Ya know, I'd actually buy this if it weren't a fucking microtransaction game. So it could forego the whole 'grind these shitty objectives to get credits' thing and go on an achievement reward thing.
>>
>>123160909
>teh combo !11
fuck off

the idea is to keep close enough to vet that he can't safely pull out the ankh. keep your general above or below him and have your minions fan out to either side so he can't just walk around them

vet doesn't have any high threat close range minions outside of aymara, and that's pretty expensive at a 6 drop and just asking to be dispelled
>>
>>123160971
But it would take less time to do everything, and people would stop playing quickly.
>>
>>123160971
>>123161516
there'd also be a lot less people playing

people are much less inclined to buy a game that might be okay, than try a free game and possibly spend money on it later

At least Vet sorta rely on positioning, and not even their own, so you can sorta play around it.

Songay is bullshit though, but it's a faction that rely on card draws rather than strategy.

you guys act like magmar is wiping the board and dropping threats at the same time. magmar removal is highly costed and there's always a conscious choice over whether you have to drop one of your own threats or attempt to remove one of theirs. Until magmar gets to 9 mana there is no way they are both dropping threats and removing all of yours at the same time
>>
tell you what: most of /dyg/ started playing the game last month when open beta was released. They haven't played enough like the rest of the official forums

This is like a fighting game general
>>
>>123194603
The fuck are you talking about, nigger? Magmar exactly does the same thing you say it can't: removing your minions AND shitting out threats at the same turn. All Magmar minions are sticky as shit .
They don't need to balance their decks around spell/minion ratio because each one is 2for1 by default and they have enough spells to take on 2 players at the same time. They simply outlast their opponent's early game and then shit out too many threats for them to handle.
>>
>>123194603
after getting your board wiped 6 turns in a row and having to deal with bullshit rush + frenzy 1 for 4 combo and THEN flash reincarnation, it's pretty fucking easy for a Magmar to get to 9 mana without effort and still have shit on the board

Vet can get optimal conditions something like 16~18 damage on turn 5-6 unless you have positioned yourself truly retardedly.

Every faction that isn't Vanar has SOME sort of 12~15 damage dealer on that turn. ANd strictly speaking vanar does too but I never see anyone actually using it
>>
>>123196248
i don't get it

how can they be vet but also be using magmar at the same time
>>
>>123194603
Let's take a look at the math then.

Here's a list of all the Magmar cards that are used to remove threats, either through dispels, metamorphosis, destruction, or just straight removal.
Let's start with spells :
> Natural Selection (2 mana)
> Egg Morph (4 mana)
>Plasma Storm (4 mana)
>Metamorphosis (6 mana)

Magmar also have few minions which primary purpose is killing others minions instantly
>Spirit Harvester (5 mana)
>Makantor Warbeast (6 mana)

Metamorphosis is not that much used, but when it is Magmar general prefer to kill the minions with their own forces and summons a 4 drop with the remainign mana. For the same cost, Makantor Warbeast is a 4/4 with Rush and Frenzy, unless you're into some extremely gimmickly playstyle you're bound to suffer from it. Same with Spirit Harvester, although it does do damages to every other minion, including Magmar's.

However, notice that all three others Magmar removals spells cost 4 mana. Flash reincarnation is also a thing, as are Kujatas. Which mean that Magmar can very possibly kill most minions you have on your side (or alternatively, dispel or turn into an egg a valuable asset) and put something valuable on the grid in the same turn it's played. Alll of theses for a pretty cheap cost. Compare to Vet, which only have one dispel and one conditional removal, and yet are the faction all Fagmar players cry is more broken than them. However, I have never seen a single Fagmar claiming their faction isn't bullshit actually backing their fact up.

Nobody runs natural selection or kujata. Egg morph requires you to be in range to attack the creature causing the threat
Metamorphosis and flash reincarnation spirit harvester is 3 cards and still 8 mana. Or you can spend two full turns to do it on your own. Flash reincarnating a makantor will cause it to die if it attacks something. It's like you guys are really silver. Vetruvian is #1 in every tournament even with decks specifically designed to beat vetkek

I'm in Diamond too. I still haven't seen a Magmar who wouldn't destroy my pyromancer with natural selection turn 1.

>>123197919
Not him but it's not just pyromancers. That card destroys anything if it's the only one on the board.

>>
>>123197794
I'm in diamond and while I don't see Kujata that often (still sometimes, but usually they don't get much value), Natural Selection is always there.

Which is always the case. You don't Egg Morph a distant threatening minion, you Mana Burn it.

>Metamorphosis and flash reincarnation spirit harvester is 3 cards and still 8 man
This is an incredibly specific example, can't you answer generals points instead of nitpicking ?

>Vetruvian is #1 in every tournament even with decks specifically designed to beat vetkek
You keep saying that every thread. You never respond to any point everyone makes against Magmar, you just spam "Well Vet are better anyway". Just look at your post. You took two specific example that still result in clear board advantage for Magmar without any prior board control, and might not even results in a tempo loss on his end. And yet you're spinning that as "not important". Are you really that deluded ?

Lyonar is one of the better beginner factions for sure, but that's not to say it shouldn't be stuck with once you've grasped the fundamentals.
Just make sure you're disenchanting other faction's cards so you can build yourself a deck that will frustrate the fuck out of your opponents.

You're bound to get your ass handed to you for your first few games, but bronze should be considered more of a learning experience than an actual league.
Make sure you check out some competitive decks so you know what to aim for and enchant, but most importantly do your research and make sure you'll actually enjoy playing the faction you've picked.

First few games are actually pretty easy. Start off with training missions to get the hang of the game, then dive in. I managed to win my first, i think 4 games? I used Abyssian, they're pretty fun. Lyonar players sometimes give me trouble, but I personally find them kinda boring.

PvP is entirely ranked, so your first games will also be against newbies.

which tournament? last one I saw the final was the abyssian with 423424 legendaries vs a Lyonar heal or something like that. and at rank 5 to 0 I see A LOT of magmar full control + elders
>>
>>123223449
Thats because its cheaper moneywise than vetruvian while being nearly as good. The statistic is also taken across multiple tournaments

Vetruvian rank 1-3 50% of the time

Lyonar magmar rank 1-3 22% of the time

Abyssian is like 15-18%?

Vanar songhai is 10%~
>>
>>123223929
good to know then, I was rank 0 a few months back, not playing that much now. but Im at rank 4 or so now, and magmar control, and some abyssian is the thing I see more.

also, the vetruvian deck you are talking about , I think its the same as back then, dunno why is so popular now. I guess current nerfs/meta bring it back

>Vanar bringing themselves down with their AoE
delicious every time

so this whole time I've been going "why the fuck is everyone saying magmar is overpowered" since I've been running a magmar deck for this months ladder and the minute I hit 10 the wins hit around 50/50 against literally any other faction. Fair matchups all around

if this is you
no matter what deck you have
if you are stalled in the low Gold bracket
stop playing at weird hours. Only queue for games between 5pm and 9pm EST. It is a fucking. shitshow.

Nobody cares about their positioning. People throw shit out onto the board with literally no care to where it lands, and regularly end their turn without moving their generals. Your summons will go unanswered/ignored. It's fucking easy as shit.

On the other hand, if you are stuck in silver playing during this time: your deck is shit. Immediately look for a way to change it. Play during odd hours to go against real decks, get an idea for what they're running.

Yeah it goes against what the faction tries to do, but in reality if you could do whatever you wanted to do all the time with all factions then you'd just win every game or lose every game. The fact that there is some counterplay and some effort gone into looking at solutions to when stuff goes wrong is better than the alternative.

No its really weak because they dont last more than 2 turns, vetruvian isnt popular enough to influence the game that way.
