Having a really good run in the monthly sealed (well, good by my standards - 22/8) with what is basically the Stonescar deck I opened. Turns out not having a mana curve as much as a 3 mana spike is less of an obstacle when you've got a Mysterious Waystone and a bunch of low cost Corrupt units.

Got the win in draft quest and got 7-0 on my run. Only 3rd time I've managed it. Got to surprise someone with 24 lifesteal damage when they didnt block mightweaver and impending doom attacking.

Why is justice getting relic removal. The relic vs removal one upsmanship in this game is starting to feel as bad as the unit vs removal meta from Throne.

New set in two weeks, finish out your gauntlets and forges before then if you care. Community spoilers starting on the 3rd, a draft preview event starting on the 7th which will spoil a bunch of commons and uncommons, and a preview event on the 11th.

https://www.direwolfdigital.com/news/empire-of-glass-regen/ First of the new mechanics revealed. Regen: "This first time this would be dealt damage, prevent all of it." Turns off overwhelm when it's on a defender, prevents things like deadly/decay. Other prevention effects take precedence, so Invulnerable to Damage prevents damage first and aegis stops torch and leave regen intact. It's like aegis too in that it's an effect that pops once, not is always active or restored every turn or whatever. Can also trigger other effects when it happens, i.e.     I kind of don't like it but I think it's mostly the name more than anything. "Regen" implies taking damage and recovering from it, not preventing damage, IMO. Also it obviously has a lot of overlap with aegis and invuln as effects.

new spoiler looks like a card with potential, like most cards that grab cards from the market. Im sure theres dumb combos you can do with this somewhere.

Bond is already like too meh to even play. Maybe there will be some niche good ones, but seems doubtful. Having to stick a unit, bond a unit next turn, then swap it out ANOTHER turn later is going to be way too clunky. bamhand fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Dec 3, 2020 |

 5 cost removal doesnt cut it in constructed, but looks like a fine limited card. Cut Ties did work and that was 6 cost. This being Justice is a touch odd but whatev. also  that geni-cat.

I assume it still goes to their empty market. If it doesnt this card is ultra trash.

Similar question if they still have a 5-card market. I guess perhaps this is one way to get >5 cards in there.

More spoilers     Speaking of putting cards into your market. I wonder if they'll be a card that gets some bonus or something for having over 5 cards in your market. Otherwise, putting random cards in there is pretty meh.

I wonder if there are gonna be common/uncommon ways to access the market - a slow Sear with Overwhelm looks like a solid draft card, and it'd be a shame if the amplify was just trinket text 99% of the time.

I really want to like the grenadin pig but it seems to be in the wrong colors. Still, maybe there's going to be something else to synergize; I'd love to see grenadin back in expedition without having to rely on boring cards like shrine.

  and a rules clarification from reddit, if you give the slime killer and use it, the new slime will have a "spent" killer skill. I suppose if you attack regular, the new slime will have a useable killer.

Game is buggy as gently caress at the moment. Don't play. Had cases where face aegis wouldn't break. And a guy playing 5 units from his deck for free while killing my board with no cards or power spent. e: Also can't import Expedition decks. They only go to Throne no matter which tab you choose. bamhand fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Dec 7, 2020 |

The draft preview is up. Major note: non-Cylix factions are getting a new uncommon dual this set called Paintings. Also: market mechanic article: https://www.direwolfdigital.com/news/empire-of-glass-market-madness/ One cycle in there: Grafters:  Time gets Charge/Soldier type, Primal Overwhelm/Grenadin, Justice Endurance/Sentinel, and Shadow gets Regen/Mandrake There are a bunch of other cards that either go into the market or affect it in some form within the draft preview too. ——— bamhand posted:e: Also can't import Expedition decks. They only go to Throne no matter which tab you choose. So this isn’t intuitive, but you can tap/click the Expedition/Throne logo in the deckbuilder to convert the deck to the opposite format (and remove any cards that aren’t in the format). I guess importing everything into throne means that nothing will be automatically deleted?

Fastlands? (Well, not quite, mtg fastlands are still untapped on turn 3, but close. These trigger lifeforce too.) This is a big boon for aggro decks and decks that need to interact in the first couple of turns.

Made masters in expedition off mono shadow. Really impressed with Dichro's Ruin. It's good but not oppressive. Both as the person playing and the person receiving. A well designed card. Unlike Sling where you kill it or lose.

Looks like it's just Feartracker not doing any damage (still heals), and therefore not breaking aegis. Not sure what was going on with the other game where he was just making GBS threads out units though. At end of my turn all my units would die and he played like 3-4 from his deck for free. No spells cast, no power spent.

According to Reddit some of the amplify spells were broken - you could click up more than you were allowed to, it wouldn't take your power, and your opponent wouldn't see you playing the card. Not sure how that sort of thing slips through qa.

drat the game is all sorts a broke right now. Been playing a beautiful 5-faction expedition deck centering around Beacon of the Reach, Archmagister's Portal, and Crown of Possibilities and none of my wins have been counting towards the "win two games with a 3 faction or more deck." Also when dealing damage with blockers all the attackers hit the blockers twice, appearing to deal zero damage. The right amount of damage happens but it looks janky as hell. Maybe something to do with that new Regen mechanic.

Been playing a beautiful 5-faction expedition deck centering around Beacon of the Reach, Archmagister's Portal, and Crown of Possibilities and none of my wins have been counting towards the "win two games with a 3 faction or more deck." Are you deep enough into 3 factions? For example, if you have 74 fire cards and 1 shadow card. The deck colors will show up with a solid red circle and a shaded purple one and the deck won't count as a shadow deck. Here's the mono shadow deck, it's just the top one from Eternal Warcry. Very good against aggro and decent vs control. The mirror match is a SLOG. Last one I played had my opponent going up to 120 life before I killed him. I hate running Broker in a deck with no card draw but that's kind of your out vs control. Also this deck is old news and Merriest Mandrake is all the rage now.

Makkar's Quiver lets you double up on power each turn and Spiritweaver gives you lifesteal. So it was still only like 1-2 swings for lethal. But it comes down to whoever has one more threat than the other player has removal. No real skill involved.
