the meta's stabilised, and it's unchanged Rakano Plate and Big Combrei, and sometimes big combrei but with a couple of overpowered argentport cards, yaaay

I can't see much really changing, a lot of the new factions are really momentum-based so 'play big dudes on curve' is going to stop them in their tracks, and there's not much that stops rakano fast enough. Argentport and Xenan might be ok since shadow removal is great against combrei and have blockers/healing against aggro but their numbers are just smaller, which is a massive factor.

That shadow slug thing is probably the strangest card of the set but it carried my draft. Just wait for flight school to come back and he'll have his time in the sun.

I don't think there's any matchmaking in this event, you just go up against anyone at all. It's definitely a good idea to try the event if you want packs. I got 6-3 with unoptomised skycraggro so if you've got a consistent enough deck, you'll make a killing.

Drunk Theory posted:Edit: Original post was not interesting. It is one of those really good cards that doesn't fit neatly anywhere right now. Skycraggro uses soulfire drake because it's a bit faster and Hooru fliers hasn't got off the ground yet. Elysian decks could fit it instead of Cirso if they wanted, and I feel like there's a feln midrange possible with that guy and Torgov around (someone with midnight gale try this). It's a good card and lets primal deal with Titan, but you need a deck that can hit the spark.

7 drops are mostly underpowered, there's more 4/5 drops that gently caress it up, like titan, makto and Umbren Reaper. The only other good 7+ legendaries are vodakhan and shimmerpack and they need a whole deck to support them.

Drunk Theory posted:Yes. Conduit costs 2 now. So it's a valid target for the Dredge. And Haunting Scream as well (for whatever reason you would do that) Conduit's going to be ridiculous in a killers deck now, you want to be tweaking the deck for a higher curve if anything. It doesn't bring back the dawnwalker on it's first go, but it's going to get dirty with killer on it as well.

Run some fliers, they don't have much that can deal with them aside from desert marshals and harsh rule. Haven't had a problem with them running feln. This is a deck I've been brewing and it has a pretty good matchup, maybe you can do a better version. quote:4 Dark Return (Set1 #250) Shatterglass Mage is their worst nightmare as well, roll with praxis and go with 4 of them if you want something more reliable.

eSporks posted:I took a decent hiatus from this game, but I'm coming back to it. Looking for a couple deck suggestions. I'm a huge fan of combo, but not A+B combo, the type where the entire deck works an engine. Think storm in MTG, I also played some carpet shuffle in ECG. I'm also a big fan of tempo, but it doesn't look like eternal really has a true tempo deck going yet. Control is also cool, but I prefer to play in the hand vs on the board. Combo stuff is pretty weak in eternal and there's not much that's low on minions. Your best bet is probably one of those haunting scream decks that splashes green for paladin oathbooks to go with reoccurring Nightmare and more removal. Carpet Shuffle sucks and hasn't got anything from the new set unfortunately.

yeah, didn't you play the campaign for a few Eternal Funbucks? I think it's basically 1. The King gets attacked by the Strangers and does magic poo poo with the throne that kills him, a radiant guy does evil vizier stuff 2. Because the king slept around a lot there's 5 people with a claim to being the next ruler of the freaky magical seat 3. None of these guys interact with each other 4. there's a rebellion against Justice by Rakano and King Justice blows up his city, starts turning evil? 5. Shadow Lady runs into a mysterious dude called Azindel, who's tied to a cult that's doing spooky mystery stuff, maybe with the radiants. she starts losing her memory because of azindel's gift, idk if she dealt with that 6. Fire guy wanders the world asking people who his mum is and not really getting an answer, starts hanging around mountain tribes. 7. Time Wizard tries to figure out what the deal is with strangers, doesn't 8. Ice lady does something with giant superintelligent Owls and ninjas, I don't know Fantasy Western stuff is still cool to me at least, that hasn't worn out yet.

Turtlicious posted:What's the quickes way to grind out like 18k gold? I've got 7k but I wanna do the expansion. Gauntlet, using an aggressive and consistent deck with a few combat tricks. Earns you 750 gold in a successful run, not counting upgrades, and each takes about maybe 10 minutes. If you just stop spending gold for a while though it'll get there soon enough.

The Wu-Tang Secret posted:I just realized you can play an Adaptive Predator, and then cast Predator's Instinct or Xenan Initiation to give it Killer to let it immediately kill something and almost certainly get another battle skill. And then you can cast Mirror Image to get a copy with all of its keywords, including Killer, thus letting you immediately eat another unit and get another battle skill. And if your opponent has a Deadly unit, like, say, a 3/7 Lumen Defender, you can use Dragonbreath to safely kill it (and this works with Overwhelm for yet another random skill). Is there an actual competitive deck in this? I mean, obviously not, but could I at least make it something that I can use to have some fun when I have to do stupid Time/Primal daily quests? I'd probably have to blow 7200 shiftstone to complete my set of Sandstorm Titans, huh. It would be good but it’s too late game for that sort of snowballly thing. Decks centered around synergies with a single unit tend to have a fairly cheap thing, like Hero of the People. With Adaptive Predator you’re holding onto a card and all the payoff ones for ages, and Elysian isn’t great for control aside from chalice stuff so you get rolled over by midrange decks. It’s a cool draft card but not much else.

Go with Skycrag champ for now, they get good burn and fliers which every draft loves, and it’ll be easy to pick up a third colour in the even packs if you really need to.

Decks I'm poking around with Praxis Spells/Ramp (need a name) quote:3 Seek Power (Set1 #408) I'm still playing around a lot with it, especially the mana fetching/ramp and the burn, but it's a pretty fun deck that uses a lot of unorthodox cards, like kindle and sandglass sentinel, which can be really absurd. It's got the standard flaws you'd expect, you can't deal with midrange fatties outside of Slow, Teleport, or using big spells you need to fuel the sentinels or blast face. Sometimes you can race them with burn or getting a good moment of creation going to block them. There's not much you can do about that, unfortunately, but I think set 3 is going to be good for it. quote:
Exactly what it says on the tin. Not really very good but whatever, it needs more healing and should probably be a xenan thing. I'll figure it out at some point but it's on the backburner Skycrag gently caress You quote:4 Light the Fuse (Set1 #6) This is a dumb meme deck that is kinda funny and completely wrecks chalice but dies against everyone else unless your firebombs go off. It needs more actual burn or spells matter stuff and I never get much out of the 3 mana one fire gets.

MerrMan posted:Do you guys hang on to your bad Legendaries? I just opened Light the Fuse which was... is this card as bad as it looks? Grinding up a legendary for my choice of a Rare sounds like kind of a bad deal, but I can't imagine ever putting this thing in a deck. theres a lot of bad legendaries but the game's generous enough that you can save them for making stupid fun decks. Trash it if there's something you want but you don't need to make a habit of it.

A 6 mana 7/7 flier is pretty scary and time/primal is very good at fishing for influence. The ultimate's not going to come off super easily though, it really depends how the setup for this guy goes and what ramp stuff they add.

trying to brew a xenan tokens deck is an exercise in frustration because it gives you options of a lot of cards that are almost good, like whispers in the void, colony matron, Tesya, Praxis Vault, stuff like that. Gotta kill my darlings.

I still play some shimmerpack from time to time, it's a cool deck but you struggle against all the beefy midrange stuff that pops up, especially the ones with endurance.
