Been getting into runecraft spellboost with a single copy of dimension shift and kinda liking it. Really do need either magic missiles or merlin in my initial hand to get things rolling through, but dimension shift is drat flexible with loads of stuff for win conditions. Got flame/glass or lucifer that can shave off about 14-17 health , or boosting the runecraft minions up.

From 19 health, after three dimension shifts in a row. I'm not mad, just impressed.

DShift is a cancer. Worst card design in the game, as it encourages spending most of the game watching the opponent cycle through fancy spell effects every single turn.

It's the only matchup I will BM by taking my sweet time dealing lethal or spamming emotes. Get that crap out of my ladder.

The absolute worst part of playing spell runecraft is how long each match takes and when you do win people ragequit their client like a bitch

I'm guilty of enjoying messing with Dshift :v:, I find it nice playing through my deck after aggro, aggro, face , face in Hearthstone for a long while.

As someone who pulled an early Crystalia Tia and has been fervently liquefying as many cards as possible to fill out a Forestcraft midrange, I don't feel I have it in me to be mad at other people.

Midrange Forest is possibly the strongest deck around.

But you get to play the game even when losing to them.

DShift you get to watch them play the game even when you win.

Is Shadowverse connected to my Mobage account?

Cause I already downloaded and installed the game, but it would be nice to reroll a few times cause opening up 25 packs is addicting.

Also cause I got a Fafnir and I don't really think Dragoncraft is for me.

It's not connected to an account until you manually do it. You can reroll by deleting the game cache and restarting it.

Ah, sweet, that's great news.

Gonna keep playing this game a bit more till I get the hang of it and then I'll decide if I wanna reroll.

Just had the stupidest arena game as shadowcraft against a face swordcraft after going 1-3 in arena

turn 4 dropped phantom dragon, a 4/1 follower that gains ambush if an allied follower dies, suicide someone to give it ambush
turn 5 evolved someone to suicide to give phantom dragon ambush after it hits their face
turn 6 evolved someone to suicide to give phantom dragon ambush after it hits their face
turn 7 dropped gabriel to boost phantom dragon's attack to 8, evolved it to boost it to 10, and then I hit their face
I win.

As someone brand new to the game, what should be spending my gold on? Standard packs? Expansion packs? Pick Two?

Edit: I got Dark Angel Olivia from my starter packs, which seems to be my clutch card at the moment.

Disregarding the story, achievement, score and mission rewards, I'd spend my gold on 1 Darkness Evolved pack for every 2 Standard packs.

This is because the card pool for Standard is four times the size and offers really important key cards for virtually any deck.

After a buncha rerolling I think I'll stick with Lord of the Flies / Lucifer / like 1 more Legendary I forgot. Because Lord of the Flies seems awesome.

I think the max Legendaries I got in a reroll was like 5? I had Odin, Arch Summoner, Moon, Prince of Darkness, and like one more that I don't remember.

Another one had Bloody Mary, Queen Vampire, Pluto, and Enstatued Seraph.

Pluto also seemed like a fun card but the cost was too high.

You can stick with that one if you want though only 3 legendaries is a bit low for a reroll account. Your bloody mary and queen vampire reroll is way better unless you don't like the bloodcraft style

I'm probably gonna stick with this account until I get a bit more acquainted with the game and get an understanding on what cards are good, and then start rerolling for synergetic Legendaries. I know that D.A. Olivia so that's one to look out for. It's just that I'm really poo poo at these kind of games cause I always balk at the thought of losing my field - it's why I'm so bad at cards games - so something like Lord of the Flies, who brings out useful cards every turn, really appeals to me.

That said, my first account started with nothing but a Fafnir, so I'm not complaining about the number of Legendaries. Granted, more the better.

I also have Sun Oracle. And Fairy Princess. But I also have DAO and Lucifer and Lord of the Flies and some others that I can't even remember, maybe they're good?

Anyway, I beat single player, by which I mean story mode and all the Elite practice AIs, and have suddenly lost a lot of a motivation. I had the most fun with an Earth Sigil Runecraft deck, for some odd reason. I hate playing Swordcraft with all my heart.

Have you tried Arena? I personally was tempted to just keep playing indefinitely after the tickets ran out, but decided to splurge on the expansion packs instead. (Doesn't help that they reduced the rewards.)

But it's a good way to experiment with different crafts without needing to craft a proper deck.

I did Arena once, as Havencraft before I'd played them in Story, and got 3/5 wins somehow. I was considering that since I have all these tickets, but maybe it's too stressful for me.

I fired up this game the other day, after rerolling a few times for 2 Crystalia Tia's and bumbling around a bit with forestcraft in solo and ranked I decided to delve into arena.

5-0 with shadowcraft :smuggo:. Made some misplays, opponents made some dumb trades too, but I definitely enjoy how arena feels in this over hearthstone right now, possibly due to novelty and a smaller card pool to keep in mind. I outlasted my two swordcraft opponent and dragoncraft opponent and rushed down my two havencraft opponents.

can't wait to have a bad time with worse classes

I tried Take Two, went 0-4, realized that I may not be cut out for PvP card games, and haven't touched it in a few days.

I think VS AI on my PS4 YGO game is the highest I can hope for.

My current reroll was my former one but amped up.

Lord of the Flies and DA Olivia like before, but also with 2 Rose Queens (1 Shiny), Lord Atomy, and the Dragoncraft card that summons a Dragon and then another one upon evolving.

Also think I had one more Legendary but I sold it and the 2 Rose Queens away cause I didn't see myself using them.

From what I understand you can link your mobile to one PC version of the game. So you can tie it to Steam, but if they release a version somewhere else, (Or if you were looking to tie it with the Japanese DMM version.) you won't be able to link it again.

No really, definitely excited for the steam release.

This made remember the match I did last night where I killed a 10/10 evolved with a 2/1.

Definitely want to do that again on the big screen.
