I feel like I've been pretty luck last night and tonight,I opened an angel of dawn in 1 draft and won 3 packs,then tonight I went 2-1 in a swiss draft and got 2 normal packs and a primal pack. Oh also I was rolling a chest and it rolled 3 gold hearts but I didn't notice it giving me anything special like the description says,oh well I guess.

Just finished my full rare playset. Feels good. Still short 3 mastery of times and 3 vampire kings. Hopefully I'll draft them in the coming weeks. I feel like once Set 2 comes out that Set 1 top-tier legendaries will fall in price, simply because there will be more competing cards. Does that seem reasonable? Or should I go ahead and buy now? Also, The price of packs on the AH is just silly. I am routinely successfully selling for 157 now. I expected this kind of price for Set 2, but never for Set 1. I guess the lion's share of KS packs has mostly been opened by now? Or maybe it just wasn't much when compared to 20,000 invites or whatever. Edit: The price of rares and legendaries seems to be going way down already, except vamp king I guess. Afgad fucked around with this message at 14:42 on Sep 14, 2014 |

No, the prices are not dropping.

Best time to be selling cards is probably a few days before these VIP constructed tournaments are going to start.

I thought I got lucky the other day when I got passed a pack 2 Volcannon but ended up losing both games of round 1 to someone else playing dwarfs (neither of us ended up drawing Volcannon funnily enough)

Interesting tidbit I gleamed from the official forums: There is matchmaking that is not random.HexChark posted:There is matchmaking that's happening. Opponents are not random. However, when you start a matchmaking system, you tend to either run a bunch of placement matches to calibrate people's rating, or you set everyone at the new player/unknown level. We set everyone to new player/unknown level. We'll advertise it to players and incentivize it more in the future to encourage players to play in ladder matches, but we won't show how it works. Showing people their rating typically leads to toxicity and showing people ladder mechanics typically leads to system abuse. Thread is here: http://forums.cryptozoic.com/showthread.php?t=38106

Showing rating in ladder play is super important, though? It helps you to find out where you stand, particularly among members of your guild, so you know who to talk to to get better/practice against.

I do kind of agree ranking leads to venom though. I can't help but think back to League of Legends. People just went batshit crazy over their precious ELO. Losing some numbers was the end of the world, and it is never the fault of the player. I feel like the ragequitting over shard screw would get so bad. It's already bad. I think it's OK to just do tournaments and leave the proving grounds secret. If we really want to know who to talk to to get better, we can look at tournament rankings.

To be fair, video games on the internet in general lead to venom, though. I think not doing something useful because it might make people be lovely about how good they are is a weak argument, because absolutely anything you do in any capacity is going to make people be lovely. I mean, we have cosmetic sleeves and boy howdy people like calling me out on having spent money on a game i'm losing a round in.

People are actually like, "Haha you spent money on this game and I'm still beating you" ? That's pretty shameful. It can't be too common. I've never run into that even once.

At least that way they're happy, so they wont insult you all that much. When you have a kickstarter sleeve active and actually win, people tend to get really angry.

Yea I love all my sleeves but I never play with any of them because I don't want new players who didn't kickstart getting lovely and thinking that Hex is Pay-to-Win Cory keeps saying how good the community is and has been, and it's basically true that we aren't all poo poo cunts - but half of it I think it that by repeating it so often he's trying to get everyone to believe it and then act on it

Anyone else think that the Dungeon Crawler sleeves are just the ugliest thing? There's so much going on in it, and I feel like the proportions in game are a bit goofy as well. e: link to the image Go RV! fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Sep 17, 2014 |

I only use my Collectors Sleeves because I think they just look really awesome. It has kind of a 3-D Necro Book look when they're all stacked up in your deck.

I actually quite like them, and I've gotten several compliments on them in-game as well. I don't use them all that often though because I generally either theme my sleeve to my deck or just use the alpha player sleeves.

 Could be interesting in Draft. The wording seems a little weird to me though. I feel like it would read better as "Put this and two other cards from your hand into your deck..."

I think it would read better as: {S}{S}{S} 1: If this is in your hand, shuffle it and two other cards in your hand into your deck. Interrupt target card. This gains a permanent -4 to its cost. As it reads right now, it looks like an ability you use when it's on the board, but this is actually a cheap-but-costly counterspell.

Shoggoth looks like a neat oh poo poo button for the first three turns or so. More of a draft staple than constructed include imo.

I hope they start designing cards that take advantage of being discarded. See Madness in MTG. Should I be trying to sell my extra cards for some plat or hold on to them when all the new players arrive? I started less then two weeks ago and have played about 40$ worth of drafts so far. I have yet to go 3-0 but my average is 2-1. I typically only play swiss because I feel I get more enjoyment out of my money and my skill at drafting isn't up to single elim yet.

So is there going to be any deck worth playing in the VIP tourney that's not Vampire King/Angel or Gorefeast based? With the tourney having an entry fee I assume you're only going to see the few Tier 1 decks. As somebody with no Vampire Kings or Angels and not crazy about Gorefeast decks, I prefer control, what is a poor peasant supposed to do?

The last community tournament thing had a new deck that played both Pact of Pain and Pact of Life. It also doesn't have any legendaries in the main deck http://hextcgpro.com/htp-season-1-invitational-summary/ (Ctrl+F "Zubrin‘s Tu-Pact")

Mine did run Vampire Kings, but you can definitely replace them with a number of other things, like Droo's, or Sadistic Castigator. A similar build also split the win for the Invitational. Mono Sapphire has been getting very popular recently as well. Check Elademri's decklists, he won the last Challenge Series tourney with it, and has just been on a roll. Stormcall/Gralk/Mastery of Time softlock to win. There was a Sapph/Diamond control build run by Tower that won one of the Alpha HexTCGPro tourneys as well that didn't run Angels, just Soul Marble and Living Totems.

If I were feeling extra cynical I would say it was designed with collusion in mind (amicably splitting prizes amongst jtatta's buddies or making an offer that an outsider can't refuse while jtatta's buddy still gets the coolest prize), but that's because whenever I get too bored and conspiratorial I start to think that everything the big Hex streamers do is with one eye toward collusion (how surprising that all the best prizes during the charity stream seemed to end up with Neo's forum buddies) But then I remember that it's still just a really small community and I am basically a proven idiot

I forgot I signed up for a draft, and I missed the first six picks  . I still won.  I've really started to love mono blood with a one of loregoyle and all the terrible transfers. This time I also put in three oracle songs. Worked amazingly.

Weirdest bug every encountered: Try to use ivory pawn, it passes my priority and I don't even get hp. Does it every time. Not a single occurrence. From then on, my combat phase was skipped every turn. Welp. Did some investigating: it's the Time Bug. When it did damage to my opponent it basically borked the entire game. I think. Edit: Finally ran into a rager. The precious tears as I beat him 2- 0 in a draft.  "Sup noob? maybe better hand?"After that game I switch to the cake sleeve.  "The cake is for you. It is sweet and delicious." "? I don't talk with geeks buy more kickstarts" "Are you sure? It is so moist." "lol more luck geek" "ur so bad without +/+" (I guess he meant the combat tricks I was playing?) "bg bob"Winning a round never felt so good.

Wow thread has been dead lately. New topic, new post: Some dudes on the official forum are organizing inter-guild tournaments. http://forums.cryptozoic.com/showthread.php?t=37566 quote:1. Your guild leader will have to register his guild in the Féderation International de HeX TCG Association-> FIXA, we then take donations on where to hold this cup, and what guilds will actually be allowed to participate. We take all major currencies and platinum. Do we want to enter some Hexagoons? May just be something to do while we're bored waiting for Set 2 to come out. (Or anything to come out.)

Tournaments lately have kind of soured me. Individual matches, just for-fun games have been great. Lots of cool decks and good times. Tournaments are loving awful, and about eighty percent of players are running blood diamond control. I'd honestly rather wait until set two when the card pool opens up a bit, but obviously I don't speak for everyone.
