Just bought (crafted most of the missing pieces of) a pretty-outdated Haunting Scream deck so I could rank up a little while I do my silly daily quest of gaining 25 Shadow influence. Played one fellow, he friended me after, sent me a couple lines of Cyrillic and logged off. It was hilarious. Poor little poo poo's gonna commit suicide when he plays against Distortion.dec. I assume he was whining, beat him pretty bad. Acquisitive Crow's not amazing in Scream.dec, but it is still my favorite card ever, maybe even more than Torch. I wish it were easier to protect because it's a loving blast in Skycraggo.

Crow update: when that thing survives, it completely loving turns games around, even ones unwinnable at the time. After keeping pace with a fellow with an ever-growing lifelink Kira bird, I managed to draw Combust. Had to choose losing a 5/3 trample haste Champion or the already-unleashed crow. I gave up the champ, was the right choice. Played Vadius, opp chooses to Runehammer Vadius instead of the crow because he has apparently not played with any of the new cards. Like 8-Whack, the crow is very fragile, and also like 8-Whack, if you don't deal with it really loving soon, you are DEAD.

I don't even remember if this deck had a Market, I got the fucker to 2 before I was buried under overwhelming card advantage. Feels badman. Currently winning some games with 4 Permafrost (Set1 #193) 4 Bring Down (Set2 #217) 4 Darkveil Agent (Set3 #160) 2 Kothon, the Far-Watcher (Set2 #218) 2 Lightning Storm (Set1 #206) 4 Paladin Oathbook (Set1 #140) 3 Protect (Set1 #132) 3 Vanquish (Set1 #143) 2 Acquisitive Crow (Set4 #164) 4 Auric Sentry (Set1 #146) 4 Hooru Pacifier (Set1003 #23) 4 Unseen Commando (Set3 #122) 4 Valkyrie Enforcer (Set1 #151) 3 Shelterwing Rider (Set2 #223) 1 Svetya, Orene of Kosul (Set3 #304) 2 Lida, Most Skilled (Set3 #189) 9 Justice Sigil (Set1 #126) 8 Primal Sigil (Set1 #187) 4 Hooru Banner (Set2 #216) 4 Seat of Order (Set0 #51) It's not optimised but Oathbook is doing some work, especially with the Crow. I made the deck a long while ago to do some daily but it's just taken me from Silver 1 to Gold 3 without a loss (after struggling piloting Skycrag).

Ought to be an achievement for making Witching Hour cost 38 (Slow off a Crow, opponent was all like "No," and scooped right quick). Is there any reason to play only 1 power card on your first turn and then deliberately not put one down again? Algorithm can't give players fewer than 2 power in opening hand, so they was definitely holding one. Edit: Disregard, they kept a 1-power hand. Seems an interesting choice vs unknown deck.

Acquisitive Crow is ruinously good in limited. If you didn't end up with an absurd amount of removal to always have on hand when it's swinging in, it just ends the game and there's nothing you can do about it, but it's definitely not a mythic-feeling card. I wonder if this is how folks felt about Drana in Rise of the Eldrazi? In case you couldn't tell by my adverb choice, I did not have the Crow.

Nomadic Scholar posted:Well, started this game like a week ago, or enough time to get the GW theme deck. How is it this one is so much worse than the last theme I unlocked (feln cunning) that I feel I need to rip the deck apart and build it anew just to eke out 5 wins in casual? It's weird after all the other shenanigans I've gotten up to playing this game ala deckbuilding. Not all theme decks are created equal, some of them appear to be crammed full of trash in an effort to teach the player about deck-building, ala Magic's theme decks for the past 14 or so years.

Holy poo poo piss, today I learned that if you flood your board with creatures, Madness becomes a no-questions-asked kill spell. That was upsetting, seeing as my opponent survived at 1 and I failed to draw any burn in 7 turns.

Jabor posted:other cards that synergize with it. Synergies such as card draw, targeted removal, mass removal, deck thinning, graveyard reshuffling, more removal and card filtering? No, surely not. What are the odds they even put such cards in their deck? Let alone draw and then play them against aggro. A lunatic's ravings, clearly.

If you're taking actions as fast as you are able and not just sitting around with your thumb up your rear end, why would it time out? I thought it only does that when you don't interact with the game controls for however long a duration.

Jabor posted:I'm trying to help you be a better player, man. All right, friend. How do I get my opponent from 25 to 0 life before they can play Distortion, all the while killing every single attacker I play once it has hit once (or less!), and wipe me when I have more than one creature on the board? I don't get to play creatures at end of turn, but he gets to draw cards and kill my creatures whenever's convenient for him, and this consistently leaves me 10-15 points of damage short, no matter how carefully I'm trying to avoid being blown out while still applying pressure. It doesn't matter if it's Skycrag, TJP, Argenport or Hooru, they kill every creature I play then stabilise at 10 or fewer.

Jabor posted:It's a little confusing to me how you can describe those experiences, and also think that the 8-drop that doesn't kill any of your creatures or draw your opponent any cards is the One Thing that caused you to lose. The extra untap step is the actual killer. I swear I have mentioned this and if I have, you're being deliberately obtuse and if I have not, then I apologise. Oh you're tapping out? Sweet, gonna kill ya. Oh, wait, nevermind, you have 12 mana and a handful of cards starting my turn. And I've tried the "guess if I'll draw enough mana or creatures" with any given hand, and I have to guess what my opponent is playing when I'm resolving mulligans. "Good" hands get me like 5 damage closer vs Distortion than a "medium" hand, and I have had MANY unplayable hands that remain unplayable after I mulligan. Are you saying I just autoscoop those? There's literally no reason to overextend into a Hailstorm. I've lost count of the number of games where my opponent is at 1 and I can't force through that last point because they have all the removal for my creatures and a new aegis every time I have a burn spell, if I'm playing Skycrag. I'd sleeve it and play it but that's like 15000 shift away and gently caress that. Curving aggressively early game has actually lost me more games than not deliberately overextending. Best case scenario is I swing for 2 on turn 2, 6 on turn 3 and then lose both units to a Hailstorm, play another unit, it dies before attacking so I'll play a couple more and they both die before attacking. Sometimes my opponent needs to draw cards and does so and I get in 2 more damage before that creature also dies. There's a reason Seedborn Muse is never getting reprinted in a standard-legal set.

^^ The real answer is thst it's a $40 card and reprinting it to sufficient demand would hurt "investors'" liberal snowflake fee-fees. As much as some archetypes, interactions and player behaviors upset me to the point of incoherent rage, at least this game can never be exploited as a financial vehicle for war criminals and layabouts. No, what I'm saying is that it literally does not matter how I play my units because my opponent mysteriously has the perfect answers each time, in order, no matter how many units I play or don't play, and when I throw back a hand that I'm reasonably sure doesn't get me there, I get an even worse hand. Am I just the unluckiest player in Eternal? Tubgoat fucked around with this message at 06:54 on Aug 6, 2018 |

I got a system message in-game, like the reminders thst units can't attack the turn you play them, or that you require the following influence to play that card, but something entirely different, and with a larger font and it was way too fast for me to read. Happened entirely apropos of nothing. Opponent declined to allow me to message them to ask if they saw it too and I am deathly confused. Any y'all know what it might've been? I wasn't trying to take any action at the time and Google has been no help thus far. Happened during a ranked game, was on Haunting Scream and opp was on some Praxis overrun bullshit or something I think, don't remember and don't care, just want to know  it might've said.

Wait, did you not play against Skycrag ever, or can you beat them trivially but have to try against Praxis tokens? I've been on Skycrag for a bit, then got enough shift for some Deepforge Plates and have been running Rakano from D1 to Master, and I really can't say which has more trouble with Time. I'd go the full Icaria, but I just don't have the shift. Got one each of her, Bowmaster and a couple other things from packs. Just now, when trying to remember all 40 mythics in the Time deck, I remembered that Alhed the Mountbreaker is a thing too. Time is 200% loving busted. Is Argenport Sacrifice the one where all their creatures have Revenge and are constantly cycling in and out of the graveyard? That list you posted is the only one I like seeing as much as Time.

I'm able to field what many would probably consider an optimised Skycraggro list, but it feels like I'm just watching a replay of an old-fashioned comp stomp from the comp's perspective around 60% of the time. Opening hand is no action or not enough power, so I mull into a hand with no or not enough action or inverted colors, or I'll get a playable hand and each of my cards is outclassed by every card my opponent plays and he's got like 12 of them after I've burned through all of mine. Also, I actually really like Thunderbird, even with a playset of Vadius.
