I decided to make a stonescar deck with 4 maidens and 4 stewards to hate on the revenge going around, and 2 of that new guy with spark to hate on lifegain. So far mono 4-drop stonescar is undefeated. I mean, it's got a lot of the standard stonescar stuff on the curve, which is still good, but so many decks are getting wrecked by the 4-drop slot right now it's hilarious.

I'll echo the comments about draft being feast or famine right now. It's real easy to stumble into multi-color junk and high quality two-color drafts just maul everything else. The format did slow down(which was intended I assume) but high quality rares swing games even harder than before imo. I'll have to play more games but right now I'm not too happy with the format Shoutout to sandstorm though. It's maybe the best draft combat trick so far

Is there a list anywhere of which legendaries/rares are safe to disenchant right now? Also, what's the best value for diamonds? Got $10 worth of them (I already completed Jekk's Bounty). I kinda want to transition my Rakano Warcry deck into a Plate deck and all I'm missing are rares and legendaries (the nominal Plate). Basically, here's what I have: Scourge of Frosthome Plated Demolisher Icaria the Liberator Whispers in the Void The Last Word Call the Ancients Cirso Aid of the Hooru Azran fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Jul 18, 2017 |

Cirso and Icaria are pretty good, everything else is tempting but clunky. E: Anyone have a list of the new achievements? I got one for playing knucklebones as the last card in my hand

Lost my fifth gauntlet in a row (last one was post-difficulty patch). The unranked gauntlet deck I played against was a perfect combrei netdeck with ironthorns, carnosaurs, scorpion wasps, etc. What the gently caress is wrong with these devs?

It may be that I'm just getting lucky but this simple deck has been doing really well for me. I just wanted to try and make Wandering Wisp good, and Timekeeper seemed like a good fit. Drops turn 2 sand warriors pretty frequently, can have wisp active by turn 3, and Timekeepers get ridiculously huge. Battle-Tested Stranger is a ridiculous bomb as well. Time Strangers 4 Sand Warrior (Set1 #64) 4 Wandering Wisp (Set2 #38) 4 Combrei Stranger (Set1 #410) 4 Elysian Stranger (Set1 #412) 4 Praxis Stranger (Set2 #248) 4 Temple Scribe (Set1 #502) 4 Xenan Stranger (Set2 #251) 4 Determined Stranger (Set1 #92) 2 Scorpion Wasp (Set1 #96) 4 Ancient Lore (Set1 #105) 4 Sandstorm Titan (Set1 #99) 4 Timekeeper (Set0 #14) 4 Battle-Tested Stranger (Set2 #58) 25 Time Sigil (Set1 #63) edit: there's also an achievement for a 25/25 or larger wisp.

Knucklebone-based decks are surprisingly good, that card can win almost any game that goes long. Again, folds to aggro that just slams men down asap.

Yetis are fun again, Wump it up bitches. Here's my totally unpolished list that seems to work okay so far: 4 Snowcrust Yeti (Set2 #105) 4 Torch (Set1 #8) 4 Yeti Spy (Set1 #191) 2 Champion of Fury (Set2 #187) 4 Yeti Snowchucker (Set2 #113) 4 Yeti Snowslinger (Set1 #203) 4 Flash Freeze (Set1 #209) 4 Icebreaker (Set1 #216) 4 Wump, Party Starter (Set1 #511) 4 Jarrall's Frostkin (Set1 #220) 4 Yeti Troublemaker (Set1 #222) 4 Crystallize (Set1 #232) 4 Scouting Party (Set1 #488) 6 Fire Sigil (Set1 #1) 13 Primal Sigil (Set1 #187) 4 Seat of Fury (Set0 #53) 4 Skycrag Banner (Set2 #186) It's actually 77 cards currently because why not. I'd also put two more of the Skycrag yeti champion in if I had them. Not sure what to cut but I basically added every yeti but the spark one and then added Frostkin for stun attached to a body, though Permafrost was a consideration but this is more aggressive so I wanted the body. Plus attachment hate is a thing that screws Permafrost but not Frostkin.

Time Strangers 4 Sand Warrior (Set1 #64) 1 Infinite Hourglass (Set1 #67) 4 Wandering Wisp (Set2 #38) 4 Combrei Stranger (Set1 #410) 4 Elysian Stranger (Set1 #412) 4 Praxis Stranger (Set2 #248) 4 Temple Scribe (Set1 #502) 4 Xenan Stranger (Set2 #251) 4 Determined Stranger (Set1 #92) 1 Scorpion Wasp (Set1 #96) 4 Ancient Lore (Set1 #105) 4 Sandstorm Titan (Set1 #99) 4 Timekeeper (Set0 #14) 4 Battle-Tested Stranger (Set2 #58) 25 Time Sigil (Set1 #63) Well, this is a Master deck now, took it all the way up through diamond today, pretty smoothly except for when I dropped from 92/100 in Diamond 1 to 0/100 before streaking back to master. It's surprisingly powerful and consistent, and when things line up can be excessively gross. Want to field 15 power on turn 2? This deck can do that. Want to have 6/6 wisps swinging in on turn 4 with buddies? And they get bigger fast. Want to cast ancient lore on turn 4, get ahead in cards and still play a 4/4? This deck can do all those things and more, while also just presenting pretty reasonable aggro and defensive game. It still needs some tuning, but it is way way better than I was expecting when I put it together. I'm not happy with the scribes on curve, basically ever, but I can't think of anything worth replacing them with. And when I do cast the scribes it tends to draw me into the things I'd rather be doing. It'd be pretty trivial to splash one other color, though, were I so inclined, as long as everything produces time. This deck can win with very little mana, and do pretty well when flooded, though it certainly excels when it gets early pressure. Early pressure is very easy, too, as if you have a Sand Warrior and one of your 16 two drop strangers, you field 5 power on turn 2. If you have 3 time sigils, a wisp and 2 strangers, your wisp triggers on the beginning of turn 4. Your timekeeper is bigger than titan on turn 4, and never stops growing. And even if you don't get the time payoff cards, you have the fierce 2-drop stranger, determined stranger, 2x 2-drop stranger, battle-tested stranger curve that also overwhelms quickly. This deck is also pretty darn cheap out of the new set, needing only a bunch of commons and uncommons and of course the 4x wisp, but if you didn't want to make wisp this might not be the deck for you.

Ok, so that's a really fringe draw, but you can go turn one wisp, turn two stranger and 4 Sand Warriors. 15 power on turn two. 5-6 is way more likely. 8-9 happens occasionally.

That Time Strangers deck is better with Amber Monuments. I'm pretty sure cutting one Scribe and one Battle-Tested for two more Scorpion Wasps is right, too. Or at least going down from 4 Battle-Tested. It's not the right amount to play at only 25 sigils.

i think id cut scorpion wasp the defensive tool the deck needs (if it needs any) is something to deal with quickdraw against rakano or izzet (fire/primal, can't remember name) since it wants to be the aggro in most other matchups

Finally made it to master after bouncing all around diamond 1 since the new set came out. I think I was one win away at least 10 times. It was a really long grind too since I started all the way back at bronze after not playing for a few months, but kept getting matched up against diamond and master players since I guess MMR doesn't decay that much. Ended up getting there with good ol' Rakano Plate. Lesson learned: the deck lists on RNG Eternal are decent starting points, but nowhere near the best build of each deck. For example, this Rakano Plate list is built like a Silverwing Familiar combo deck, when I'd rather just play Rakano Goodstuff. I took out all but one Familiar (since it is sometimes game-ending against burn decks, but usually terrible on its own) and the Crownwatch Cavalries and put in 3x Tranquil Scholar (which I then bumped to 4x because it's amazing) and 2x Finest Hour. I want to make room for another 1 or 2 Finest Hour, because it's often critical to protect a key unit from a burn spell. Here's the list I have now: 2 Finest Hour (Set1 #130) 4 Oni Ronin (Set1 #13) 2 Pyroknight (Set1 #16) 3 Seek Power (Set1 #408) 4 Torch (Set1 #8) 4 Champion of Glory (Set1 #314) 4 Rakano Outlaw (Set1 #20) 4 Tinker Overseer (Set1 #138) 4 Tranquil Scholar (Set2 #76) 3 Vanquish (Set1 #143) 3 Shogun's Scepter (Set1 #26) 1 Silverwing Familiar (Set1 #152) 4 Valkyrie Enforcer (Set1 #151) 4 Hammer of Might (Set1 #170) 2 Deepforged Plate (Set1 #317) 1 Soulfire Drake (Set1 #47) 7 Fire Sigil (Set1 #1) 5 Justice Sigil (Set1 #126) 2 Emerald Monument (Set1 #422) 4 Rakano Banner (Set1 #427) 4 Seat of Glory (Set0 #56) 4 Diplomatic Seal (Set1 #425)

It also lets you dump your hand quickly, which can be useful with the high influence requirements. I've tried some bigger stuff like Talir but it's a bit greedy.

I'm new to the game and have some questions, because some interactions seem super unintuitive. 1. I used grenade on a unit with aegis to remove the aegis, sacking my Venomspine Hydra to wipe his board. The unit survived, and I have no idea why since aegis since it blocks one spell or effect. Like it literally cost me the game so I'm a bit peeved by it. 2. I cast treachery and the following turn the AI played two units (and no, it was not a topdeck echo and no other cards were played). Why didn't I get to discard a unit from its hand? 3. I used Dark Return on a Ravenous Thornbeast, and its summon effect did not go off. In fact I think it just went straight to the board without me casting it or spending power. How SHOULD this work? 4. Now I think I have a grasp on how stun works: it prevents the next two attacks or blocks, regardless if the opposing player attacks. So stunning a unit that can't block before attacking would effectively be a waste of stun, yes?
