Is it true that this game is shit and that the general is dead?

>>127714649
The game is doing alright, needs balancing, but isn't shit

General is dead because we have no memes or new controversy

should we even keep making threads? We never make it to bump limit

>>127714649
It's shit and the general died twice under half the post.

>>127715147
could just stop making threads until the next patch comes out I guess

>>127715824
more like we should just have threads on /v/ instead

>>127715960
This, it's pretty dead since we stopped advertising on /v/

Advice on an abyss deck for a new player?

>>127716124
I saw one earlier but it died too. It was shitposting rather than advertising the game, though, which is when the threads were the most active on /v/.

I haven't played in a while, why is magmar abyssian? and why is he red

>Burn Abyss runs my control Lyonar out of cards
>The swarm and burn deck has 3 AoE spells
>The control deck gets its AoE nerfed to being unplayable, and people want to nerf the only good card the entire faction still has (Holy)
This game's balance is a joke, it actually made me reconsider Hearthstone. Abyss can fucking do what Tempest did for 1 mana without friendly fire, they have tempest + global heal, and they have an AoE that can do 4 to 12 damage.

>>127719215
By not giving the faction that has it infinite removal would be a start.

>>127721269
damn, that's pretty awesome. But why Sarlac?

>>127721896
Because in a deck with 8 different buffs and a shit ton of spells you need your creatures to be as sticky as possible

>>127722073
decklist?

I just started playing the game a few days ago, I did all the challenges and shit, ive unlocked a decent amount of cards, and I think I have a good idea on how to play.
That being said, I'm stuck at rank 19
is there any trick to progressing through the ladder as a Vetruvian player?
Is there a certain build I should be working towards for my Vet deck?
Also I saw in the email i got that If you hit rank 20 or higher you get a monthly card, is that distributed at the end of the month?
Thanks in advance.

Obelysks suck and Vetruvian in general is a very expensive deck to play. These days we're mostly trying to get as much value out of Third Wish as we can.

Good neutral commons to craft are Primus Fist, Dancing Blades, and Jaxi. Emerald Rejuvinator is a must-have in pretty much ever deck save Abyssian and Songhai so it's a good idea to go for him too even if he's a rare.
Good Vet commons are Siphon Energy and fuck you. Starfire Scarab, Orb Weavers, Dunecasters, and Bone Swarm can work on a budget but really get ready to dust your whole collection if you want to stick to Vet.

Aymara and Third Wish are your priority.

Good basics include Healing Mystic, Saberspine Tiger, First Wish, Pyromancer, Entropic Decay is a good Lyonar tech, Ethereal (and fireblaze, a rare) Obelysk can work on a budget, and Cosmic Flesh depending on your deck

Other than that, Sand Howler is a decent budget creature too but really only with Third Wishes so not really a budget creature at that point.

I don't play Vet anymore since I don't have the cards for it, but my guess is that you want to throw out as much nonsense as possible and buff it to oblivion.

What legends/epics do you have?

My advice would be 3x healing, 3x saber, 3x or 2x ephemeral, 3x pyromancers, and then a bunch of buffs. Aim for 3 emeralds, and if you have a sand howler throw that in.

Honestly, if I was starting in Vet, I'd aim for a mech deck, since you can buff everything you throw out pretty easily, and at your rank, I don't think many people are playing Mechaz0r.

Beyond that, I can't think of much for a beginner deck. Hopefully you can get 3x helm, 3x wing, and maybe 2x cannon, and that should help you out if you want to build around mechs. Don't forget an Entropic Decay, which should help you out if you want to carry 1-2.

It gets better, don't worry.

>>127723826
neat thanks

>>127723826
No more sand howler?

I wonder why people not using Mirage Master for Vetruvian.

>>127725325
3/3 vanilla just doesn't do it for a 3-drop.

It's nice it dodges Phoenix and Hailstone but Chromatic Cold is still everywhere.

Maybe if I had more room but I value the Chaos Elementals and Sarlacs over them.

>>127725772
Too few good targets run in the meta.

Maybe if you could Aymara + Mirage on the same turn but otherwise he's too slow.

>What legends/epics do you have?
I guess these are my rarest Vet/Neutral cards.
Also thanks for the advice.
>It gets better, don't worry.
I hope so,
I really like Vet so far and I'm pretty reluctant to play the other faction decks.

>>127726662
The bottom row is all great for a Vetraz0r budget deck, and Twilight Sorc is also great, in addition to Syrael, although the latter is entirely up to your preference.

Zurael is great for aggro decks, but takes control over your own minions to pull off. Sarlc, as well, works very well with it, since you're essentially duplicating it.

Grailmaster is up to you - if you can drop two helms at the same time, it becomes incredibly useful. I would honestly probably recommend it, since I don't think you have any outstanding duplicates other than Twilight Sorc + TW. If you can throw down something next to it on the same turn it's cast, you'll already have a really nice card. Play it once they've exhausted most of their dispels/removals.

That's about it. Lux Ignis is nice, but there are plenty of better things you can use, unless you're really hard-pressed for cards.

>>127726662
Aymara, Third Wish, and Rasha's are Vet staples so you did well there.

I'm probably the only person running Sarlac these days but Vet's new game plan is to abuse Third Wish so I'm a fan of the consistent target. 3 mana 1/1 is a pretty serious tempo loss however. Doesn't fit in every deck but I still think he's useful.

Twilight Sorc is a strong 4-drop. We'd see more of him if Emerald Rejuv wasn't so mandatory. Especially now that Plasma Storm's nerfed.

Chassis is sometimes run in mechaz0r decks. Not amazing.

Zurael is a pretty decent 7-drop. Can lead to huge tempo but can feel awkward to run at times.

Grailmaster, Syvrel, and Lux all suck.

>>127727827
>>127727620
>>127723826
I built this deck with the cards I had available already, is this ok at all? I'm not totally confident in my deck building abilities, I have 370 spirit to spend and I have some legendaries in other decks I could disenchant if I really needed to craft something else though I would be a little reluctant to do so.
What do you guys think? I tried to follow your advice as best as I could.

1 siphon, are u mad?

remove pyromancer already

>>127730919
I removed 2 pyro and created and added 2 more siphon.
What should I add for my last card?

>>127730037
Songweaver and Prophet aren't really worth their effects. Ash Mephyt ain't great either.

Entropic at 3 might be a bit too much. It's mostly a Lyonar tech so if you're seeing a shit ton then 2 is fine. Otherwise 1 can help you out of sticky situations.

Siphon Energy at 3 ASAP. Until then, run some Ephemeral Shrouds to fill in the blanks.

Orb Weaver is probably the next thing out. They're okay budget but you'll start to feel them fall off pretty quick.

In general I'm worried your curve might be a bit too late game. Pay attention to how often don't have the mana to make any plays and adjust accordingly. You might be fine but I'm unsure.

>>127730919
Pyromancer is fine. Very risky but can also completely snowball a game. I'd say he's fine until he starts feeling it's dealth with too easily.

>>127731092
Rock Pulverizer is another decent basic 2-drop but not everyone's a fan of him. 3 Saberspine wouldn't hurt I don't think. 3 Primus, 3 Jaxi, and 3 Healing Mystic are what I run in my 2-drop slot, personally. Not everyone agrees with the Primus fist for some reason but I honestly can't see why you wouldn't run them in Vet.

Crossbones can be a good tech card if you're seeing a lot of Mech decks. Instantly removing their win condition with the added benefit of dealing with Jaxi and Heartseekers.

>>127731559
Alright I think I'm set, thanks for the advide, i really appreciate it.

>>127716412
You play aggro burn or you play a different faction.

Flameblood Warlocks, Nightsorrows, Saberspines, Dark Seed, Shadow Reflection, Void Pulse

>>127733380
I thought Nightsorrows were bad? I'm currently trying to run a creep deck but I'm having issues mid game.

>>127734108
What? Where'd you get that from? Nightsorrows are great.

>creep
There's your problem

Well, I tried out my deck, and it worked really well for the 3 games I just played, I lost two of them to pure RNG bullshit
so I'm still stuck in rank 19
but it was definitely a bit better than when i was using the deck I hashed together

>>127734506
Some guy on the forums. I started last night so I don't know the factions core yet so I just read what's on the forums.

>>127735113
That guy's insane, then. Nightsorrow is staple.

>>127735901
Ok so what should I start crafting? I have a Nightsorrow and 225 spirit plus tons of cards to disenchant.

>>127736636
Well if you want to play creep craft those cards I guess. Creep won't get you very far though. It's all about aggro burn or nothing for abyss now.

>>127737981
well I'd rather be competitive so if aggro burn is the way to go I'll do that. So what else do I need besides Nightsorrows.

>>127738386
See
>>127733380

Outside of that, Spectral Blade, Jaxi goes in everything, Alcuin can help recycle your spells, Lure gets rid of big provokes, Grasp can be strong, Wraithling Swarm is pretty staple, Deathfire or Soul Grimwar can both be devestating amounts of burst damage, Horn can be really obnoxious to deal with

Just off the top of my head. I don't really play them but just cards I see played.

>>127719215
How do we fix Vanar period?

>>127739709
>>127737981
Thanks for the suggestions I made a deck and I'm gonna test it out now.

>>127741156
Just make Vanar the Jack of all trades faction. Give minions faction abilities like Blast, rebirth and backstab on top of their infiltrate abilities. There's pretty much no synergy anyway

>>127741465
Anything's better than the current plan of "give them insanely efficient recovery and then also give them insane value creatures and then nerf all the cards that kept those creatures in check"

Abyssian is balanced

>>127747516
They're fine. I wish they had more than one viable build but it's not like they're worthless.

It's just kind of lame that most of their games are decided on whether or not their opponent drew their Rejuvinators or not.

So what exactly was the point of making a new thread if we're going to be dead all the time

How 2 neovanar?

Could a Vet Dervish/Opening deck work, or am i wasting my time even concidering it??

>>127714649
We constantly have to reanimate the general, it's pretty funny
Why doesn't /vg/ have a higher thread slot count

>>127757564
Just to elaborate, I got 2 Fire Obelyscs (or whatever they are called) of the early packs I got, and they served me well on getting out of Bronze.

>>127761720
Dervishes are pretty shit atm. I mean, you can probably get to gold with them, but they're just not very strong. Dispel rapes them, minion flood rapes them, zen'rui rapes them, they're rng

>>127761814
I see. Well that sucks. Also you guys were not wrong, Fenrir are turbo cancer. Had a guy drop 3 of them as his first 3 summons. I think I wanted to off myself after that one...

So vanar is the new cancer?
And Lyonar and magmar are shit?

>>127762965
Everyone except Aby is somewhat balanced atm

songhai makes me want to suicide

Can someone give me some tips for the next gauntlet? I always do really bad

>>127775017
Pick value, as in minions and spells that trade well. An obvious example is Fenrir- 3 mana for 3/3 and spawn 3/3 on death. There's way less dispel in gauntlet, so cards like Oculus can be really strong. Dancing Blades is a pretty nice drop, too, since it often removes an enemy minion while playing a big body yourself. Golems can also be pretty nice, I often pick the 4 mana one.

>>127775017
Also make sure to get lots of 2 and 3 drops, little advantages snowball pretty hard in gauntlet and a shit turn 1 often means gg no re

christ this game is such pure RNG bullshit

>>127757564
>>127761720
Dervish is basically the budget version of Vet. It doesn't work forever but you'll be okay until you start seeing literally everyone running 3x dispels.

What if KotV dispelled the minion while bringing it back? Would it still be so bad?

>>127786036
Still massive value variation
It's just shit design

I fucking hate playing as vetruvian now. Unlike before, when I had fun shitting arund ebin plays with star fury and some blast things and artifact, now it's all about shitting out minions endlessly until something sticks and you can buff it. Mirrors also went to shit since they changed to "who can play third wish first?" It feels like yet naother suh faction because god knows that we didn't have enough with abyss and songhai game after game.
I mena, previous third wish was broken, but new one is just boring as shit to play, and star's fury was the most fun card to play with as vet and around against them because it actually used the fucking board.

>>127786097
This.

Keeper of the meme plus changing meta to "le epic me go face x-ddd" made me quit.

>>127762965
>>127768879
Vanar and Songhai are cancer
Keeper of the Value is cancer
Lyonar and Magmar are fine
Abyssian is fine if limited in their build options. Burn Abyssian can race you very strongly and if you don't draw Rejuvinators then you're gartunteed to lose.

>>127787337
Abyssian is worst than songhai. At least songhai have the decency of taking damage and not healing like bitches.

>>127787337
>Vanar
>cancer
Nah
Fenrir might be too strong/might have too few counters atm but all in all they're about playing the board which factions should do, something like Songhai is cancer because it's basically solitaire

>>127787547
Fair enough. People have different meanings for cancer.

Vanar gaining just a little bit of tempo in the early game is basically assured to snowball into insane board presence though

>>127787748
Maybe make hailstone 3 mana to stop it from being such a cookie-cutter tool, making it more of a tool against mid-endgame threats instead of being good all game long

>third wishing the primus second turn

>>127787547
>not cancer
Vanar took the retarded removal spell that was overtuned in magmar with no changes for no reason whatsoever.
Every single AOE out there nerfed to shit, so there's no hard counter to the deer and stuff like fenrir run rampant around the place with keeper of value reviving them with ease if you play second. A revived fenrir is pretty much game over too.
What I wanted was good vespyr minions and good sinergy in the faction with infiltrate not being complete shit. What I got is an obligation to pull out snowchaser, the only useful vespyr that vanar had, because muh new lego must be used or I just lose game after game.
And vanar right now has the best removal, the best 3 drop, the best 4 drop and access to the best 5 drop. If that ain't cancer then I don't know why you fuckers complained about magmar.

>>127791385
Tempest still rapes deer just as hard, even harder since it's cheaper, plasma is 1 more expensive which doesn't change much since deer combo is 5 mana at its cheapest
Of course KotV is cancer, that's not Vanar tho

>>127791692
No it doesn't. Tempest used to also fuck up the rest of their board at the same time. Now all their 2-drops are left at 1 HP.

It doesn't hit important targets anymore.

>>127793971
Good thing you have 1 mana more to play some more shit on your own
And one card no longer hardcountering the whole faction is a good thing

>>127794309
It's not a good thing. But saying that Tempest is just as good against Deer plays is fucking retarded.
Even pretending like 1-mana on Plasma Storm isn't a big difference is retarded. It means it's now 7 mana to gain board advantage instead of just returning it to neutral and the card doesn't even kill the deer itself.

>>127795293
Are we talking about the same plasma storm
Because the one I'm thinking of costs 5 mana and kills deer
>But saying that Tempest is just as good against Deer plays is fucking retarded.
It still kills the adds, it still leaves deer in auto range. Of course it doesn't kill any potential 3-life activators, but that's taking the hypothetical example too far- and tempest was a fucking retarded card anyhow, it's good that it's nerfed

>>127795640
>Because the one I'm thinking of costs 5 mana and kills deer
Oh shit im retarded, nevermind

>>127795640
How is that taking the hypothetical example too far? You think people are just going to put down a deer on-curve? Fuck no, they're going to combo it with 2-drops with 3 HP. Tempest doesn't do shit against that kind of board state.

Too strong is a separate discussion. Claiming it's just as good - no - claiming it's better because you save one mana is retarded.

>>127796825
Because we're pitting best or near-best case for Vanar, deer with 2 drop with 3 life on curve, against worst drop on Tempest, 2 mana tempest only
Vanar might as well have played a 2 life jaxi, or a 2 life Hearthsister, or a 1 life loremaster
But yes, you're right 2 mana 2 damage tempest is not better against deer than 3/3 one

>>127787513

Why didn't anyone tell me? This is hilarious

>>127800467
Mark of solitude was already fun on that 1/2 ranged drop, with jaxi it's bonkers
Also get it in arena, also get the frenzy 2/2 drop. It's basically an insta-win if you manage to drop it early

>>127800467
Mark of solitude is broken in general if you play small minions. I play a shitload mechavanar and if a single cannon or mini jaxi survives one turn I can clear with it till kingdom come.

>>127811374
Not claiming it is. Just that Deer into a 2-drop that, outside of jaxi, is going to have 2 health isn't some kind of super uncommon play that is unreasonable to account for when discussing how effective tempest is against it.

>mfw never gonna get past rank 11

>>127811819
but it's easy nigga. I got to rank 5 the month that I started riding on the fox dick.

>>127811659
There's about a 50/50 distribution between 2 and 3 health 2 drops for the average Vanar deck, I'd say. 3 jaxis, 2-3 hearthsisters, 3 mystics, 3 cloakers or headhunters.

>Snowchaser
>Fenrir
>Razorback
>Mark of Solitude
>Hailstone
>Mana Burn
>Aspect of the Mountain
I don't understand, what's the point of playing other factions (Songhai excluded, because it still has its kill the general niche). Vanar just has better creatures and spells than any other factions, the others just have a gimmicky keyword that requires you to jump loops to achieve the same result they get for free.

Jax into Razorback is the old Vet combo, Mark+Jaxi is better than any other buff into Jaxi. Snowchaser is a mini Sarlac for 1 mana, Fenrir needs 2+ cards to get rid of. There's no counterplay here, you're at the mercy of the Vanar player's draws. You can't use ranged shit of your own, because le balanced sister of teleportation. They do all this, while shitting the most efficient and powerful removal for 2 fucking mana, 2 mana to get rid of any threat in the game that doesn't have spell immunity.

Can't wait for them to get their balanced version of tempest that deals 4 damage to all enemies only for 4 mana. It's balanced, because everyone is playing Vanar or general killing Songhai, so who cares right? Hope they enjoy having a game as dead as this general with their hearthstone audience chasing.

>>127815139
Because all your theory crafting means nothing in tournament.

>>127815139
Jax into razorback is a two turn combo and relies on 1 health minions
Snowchaser requires a not-full hand to work properly which is actually often not the case, especially if you run stuff like aspect of the mountain

Vanar wasn't buffed nearly hard enough to warrant all the bitching in this general

>>127815892
>Steal the most broken dispel in the game from another faction
>Nerf the hardest counter to the faction, AoE
It doesn't matter though, not worth arguing the matter. People will defend their brain dead easy win deck of choice to the death. Magmar players were frothing at the mouth when nerfs were suggested to their obvious broken faction. The new overpowered faction will be no different, it's the nature of any competitive game where cards/characters aren't completely free to play, and even when they are free, people will defend the thing they invested time mastering.

Almost no one is interested in fair play, people just want to win. No amount of arguing will yield any result. The devs will cave in to whatever the vast majority of ladder plays bitch about, and once it's Vanar's turn, you'll be the one shitposting.

>>127815139
kinda funny how 2 weeks ago everyone on this general was crying for Vanar to get buffed and Lyonar/Magmar/Vet/Songhai to get nerfed

Vanar got a nice removal tool and better board presence due to AoE nerfs, but they're not nearly close to broken status. Razorback combos existed way before and require so much setup it doesn't really warrant bitching

Fenrir could be turned into a 3/2 for token or something. Aspect is slow as fuck and is basically a worse Holy Immolation, why are you even crying about it? Snowchaser is dead after turn 1, unless they run aggro (Infiltration is awful overall)

Basically, minor adjustment to Fenrir seems to be the only needed thing.

>>127816362
>magmar was broken
Lyonar>=Vet>>Magmar>>Songay>Abyss>>>>Vanar.

Magmar was a midrange junk style deck, that punishes dogshit players with 1-1/1-2 until it out values you and you lose.

>>127816362
Two aoe choices got nerfed since they were overpowered and cheap bullshit. There's like a dozen more to use, on every faction except Vanar
And for your interest, I'm not even playing the game much at the moment because keeper of the vale is pissing me off, so it's not just a case of me wanting to keep on pwning newbs.

>mfw climbing diamond with songhai black locus deck
This is fucking hilarious because no one expects it and no one runs AOE right now.

>>127816931
And Vanar got access to the neutral ones, of course

>>127817042
So you just try to get 2 asap and pray that the enemy can't remove both?
Still, all the usual AoE choices still rek you. Hell, Magmar drops a single spirit harvester and all your flood is gone

This game shouldn't have boardwide spells at all unless they're super weak.

>>127818630
*3 mana card

>>127817646
Usually I get one and inner focus it away while I dodge around the place and clear with my masks. Next turn I buff one of them with killing edge and start the flood.
I got wrecked once against abyss of all things because a breath of the unborn happened. Magmar would wreck me, yes, but I fought against 2 of them and I could kill them before locust even came out.
It either works amazing or falls into my face, but that's songhai for you and I was tird of the foxes anyways.

Literally the only thing that was weak about Vanar was that they were reliant on tempo in a game where AoE removal was rampant. The two biggest offenders are now nerfed and rare on ladder. They now have an extremely powerful new removal tool to boot. Fenrir was always a monster to get rid of and now they just have all the tools to back it up.
Did the AoE deserve to be nerfed? Absolutely. But its effect on the game is far-reaching. The game will be better off in the long-run, but for now Vanar are dominating this style of play.
Don't handwave the entire environment around the game suddenly shifting as "AoE just got nerfed, no big deal." It's a game changer for a tempo-obsessed faction like Vanar. Getting mana burn is just a cherry on top. Now they have 3 of the best removal in the game instead of just 2.

Are you implying that Snowchaser isn't easy as fuck to activate? If they have turn 1 they're basically garunteed to get its effect.

Making Fenrir a 3/2 would be a god send, I'll agree to that. That it takes two 2-drops and a dispel to be dealt with is insane.

>>127819018
but the only vanar deck that is "dominating" the ladder is mech, which is not tempo

Ladder is and will be 100% aggrocucks, tourneys are to be ruined by aggrocucks. This was said, but every upset vanar hipster aggrocuck was like "N-nuhhh!!! WEZ BALANCE NUH CANCEEER!!!" now they've shown their true colors, rancid fucking cancer.

Aggrotads, not even once. Thanks for ruining the game with 24/7 crying so you can go face and there is ZERO way to punish retarded aggroshitters over-extending all the time.

>>127819018
This sets an example tho, and it's a bad one. I guess "yay for HS2.0 now with leggo RNG must have"

>>127818565
Because their strongest minions are low cost and they have enough removal to deal with anything. Their weakness used to be early removal and no good board wipe. Early removal got covered by giving them the best single target removal spell in the game, board wipe got covered because everyone else got nerfed to irrelevance from vet to lyonar. Honestly with stuff like fenrir and razorback in their lines vanar was a timebomb waiting to happen, they just needed a little push.

>>127819185
I don't know what ladder you're playing on but I've seen very few mechaz0rs compared to the flood of standard tempo Vanar.

Magmar has become the new hipster faction so it's time for me to change sides I guess.

>>127825214
Magmar is unplayable m8. You lack value plays you had before, jaxi or similar ranged unit at range is pretty much auto-lose.

how the fuck am i supposed to kill this general cuck in one turn

>>127825370
It's pretty fucking ridiculous, how is Magmar supposed to deal with threats the first few turns? Jaxi into buffing the mini Jaxi is practically a play for all factions except Lyonar, and Magmar can literally do nothing if the mini spawns far from him.

Why the fuck does Abyss have breath of the unborn? It's not a control style faction, give that shit to Magmar. Hell, they'd even make use of that shitty 2 damage sword spell that poorfag Lyonars use. Just anything, to make them not completely helpless before 5 mana.

Fucking how? It has to be aggro Lyonar. It's impossible to play anything more expensive than 3 mana that isn't keeper of the hearthstone audience. Playing a guardian is just game over, they always have hailstone. What can possibly save us from this "shit minions on board" meta? There's no way to deal with sticky bullshit, and Vanar has the stickiest bullshit by miles AND the only way to effectively deal with sticky bullshit, 2 of them actually, since le mana burn 2.0 :^)

Plasma Storm at 5 is stupid. By that time your opponent is deffo dropping or buffing 4/x's

Kinetic Equilibrium is fuckin amazing though. 4/1 young silithars and white mages are great at closing out games.

strike back does not affect dervishes at all since they die after a turn anyway

>>127859768
>>127858850
I'm just thinking Obelysks are weak because of universal strike back. Being able to trade in the current build is pretty important. I'm just guessing about the Alpha build, but the game was completely different since SB was a special ability and trading might not have been as common. 0/6 wouldn't mean much since a Dervish is going to appear your next turn.

If obelysks existed back then anyway...

>>127863532
Can't be dispelled.

easy.

Magmar is better than people think, even though it's probably less consistent now. Getting to s rank took more time and a lot of games were decided by not having enough healing in top 20 cards. Getting flash&Makantor into Keeper against Vanar or Vet is hilarious. Also you supposed to run double crossbones now, that's how you deal with ranged crap. Third wish early is pretty autistic though.

>>127865780
That's literally the only way to win now. You gotta play solatire and ignore board, because it's literally impossible to wrestle the board from the class with the best removal and stickiest minions. At least fucking Magmar's removal and sticky minions aren't all 3 mana or cheaper.

Literally every card their faction uses needs a1 stat point or 1 mana hit to put them in line with everyone else.

Sorry for ruining your game by joining it when it got worse.

>>127875134
I don't see why devs adopting some of the worst cards from HS has with you. Anyway, made me reply, so W/E.

That aside, what's the concensus on Vorpal Reaver? He seems like something any weenie/deathwatch deck would love to run. if he isn't I guess it goes int othe furnace so I can get my Vet going, haha.

>>127875512
Oh, nevermind then.
I was misinterpreting some posts for scorn towards us, hs newcomers.
Would you mind telling the worst cards that were imported here?

>>127875512

>>127875662
Fenrir Wolfguard, a 3/3 for 3 mana that leaves a 3/3 token on death, and Keeper of the Vale, a 4 mana card that will revive any one of your unit that died during the game. Those two on curve are pretty much GG. There are some other problematic cards, but that isn't because they are too good on their own, but rather because they are all on one faction.

>>127875134
>You talk about RNG all the time, but compared to the cloaca I come from this is paradise.
RNG cancer started pretty recently. I mean, the game alwys had some rng, but weak one with little variation, that's basically there for balance purposes. Like Obelysks spawning their dervishes on random spots- if you could choose which spot they'd spawn on, they'd be vastly stronger.
But the last two months introduced two impactful rng cards. Jaxi, which is a 2/2 that spawns a 1/1 in a ranged corner on death. If it spawns in the furthest corner from the enemy, he has to dedicate removal to getting rid of a measily 1/1, because otherwise the enemy will buff it to high heavens. If it spawns close to him, he can just bash it. It looks innocious, but it can actually cause major swings. At least you can still somewhat play around it, by positioning your stuff correctly and only killing the jaxi when you're sure it'll spawn in a favourable way, or that you can remove it.
This month, however, introduced Keeper of the Vale, which is turbocancer rng. It's a 5 mana drop with 4/5 stats, which is decent but not good, buit its effect is killer- on playing the card, it spawns a minion on a spot that you can choose, and the minion is a friendly one that died in your game. So, one guy plays the kotV and gets a Jaxi, the other one plays it and gets a 5/5 or something, and the game is basically over and decided by rng.
Most of the community is up in arms because we want the card(s) changed, and don't want more turbocancer to be introduced. The next balance patch, coming at the end of January, will basically decide if the game goes down the shitter or not.

>>127878042
Fenrir isn't rng, kotV is neutral and 5 mana

>>127879798
>Jaxi, which is a 2/2 that spawns a 1/1 in a ranged corner on death.
*in a random unoccupied corner
Also KotV is a legendary, increasing the turbocancer factor by also making it p2w

>>127879890
They are cancer. I didn't say they are RNG cancer specifically.

>>127878042
This is quite funny, because those 2 cards/ effects are not really good in hs.
I can see why they are broken here, playing 2 things instead of one is really powerful playing on a grid.

There's not much you can do except occupying the corners yourself and focussing on these two spots, since they allow you to reach two corners at once

Are you kidding man? 4 mana Shredders ruined every other card in the meta in it's cost bracket, because nothing else had that kind of value, and this was with it always dropping a strictly worse card after dying.

That being said, the ARE worse here at the moment, mostly because the only faction that has them is the one that also has the Freeze Mage skills. UGH.

I'm new and I'd like to play vetruvian probably. Are they still good after recent changes? If so what cards should I craft first?

I still don't really like the placement of the mana tiles. It basically forces you to play a certain way if your player 2 or else player 1 will take the advantage.

>>127893406
i just take mana tiles even if i dont need them, just to deny my opponent. better to stay even than get too greedy, imo

They're still good.
New Third Wish is a monster for controlling the board.
New Cosmic Flesh is strong with all the aggro on ladder
New Portal Guardian seems to have disappeared but I feel people have been too reactionary about him and he's still a fine card. Not that I would run him but to call him bad is jumping the gun, I'd say.
New Star's Fury is disappointing in my eyes. Third Wish makes conga lines way too risky so you'll find more efficient board states to use it on but now there's less of a reason to use it. There's no insane damage combo you're looking to achieve and Third Wish controls the board well enough that blowing 5 mana just to reset to neutral is a shit idea most of the time.

Now that I think about it, why doesn't Vet get old Chromatic cold? Helps reinforce their idea of forcing bad positioning into Star's Fury. Not that it would help with that card getting fucked but I'm surprised they didn't do it. Just get rid of Bone Swarm. Give that to Magmar, might as well with how shit Mana Burn is now.

>>127909751
>>127910581

>>127909571
Because I have a chance of dealing with it. I know were it'll spawn, I can do stuff against it.

>>127912386
But it'll be spawning in the best possible possition for your opponent rather than having a chance of spawning in the best possible position for your opponent.

Spawn it under him. He's already 3/3 for 2. Why even give him an opportunity to get insane positioning?

He conceded, obviously

>>127914765
I like him. I've got him as a 2-of right now and every time I post my decks everyone always find him the most contentious part of it. You're constantly looking to buff something now with Cosmic Flesh and Third Wish Changed so he's a consistent body in the best case, and is a much-needed Chromatic Cold soak at worst. His shit body isn't even that big of a concern anymore with how strong TW is. 4/4 blast gets the job done even if it's not as strong as other targets. I've won quite a number of games just because he's been on the board. I dunno if I'd bump him to 3 but I'm happy with trying him out.

Makes me feel more unique too which is always a minor plus.

>>127915328
I was talking about when your opponent uses it on you.
The free positioning you get out of his effect is simply too strong.

>>127883535
I was thinking more of Cairne, since the drops are both identical to the original one, now I get it.
The token should be a 2-1, maybe 2-2 I guess.

Can't wait to never draw them in the next game. That fucking spell is the inner focus of vetruvian, you win if you can play it you lose if you can't. And aymara just sucks now,everyone either ignores the board or just lolhailstonechromatic now.

Vanar matchups:

Advantage:
>vetruvian

Even:
>Magmar
>Lyonar

Disadvantage:
>Songhai
>Abyssian

>>127924140
Magmar is advantage.

>>127924273
Lyonar too. I can't mantain a minion in the field against them, I lose early against fenrir and after that everything gets hailstoned.
And I don't know about abyss, but as songhai there's nothing worst than having a fenrir in the back of a general.

>>127925742
That's a good point.
Songhai can still facefuck you with foxies

>>127912789
Well, below him makes him utterly useless, you'd have to buff the stats hard to make it worth it.
Closest to him, which allows both you and your enemy to play for/around it. Maybe nerf the stats to compensate. It's certainly better than rng bullshit

>>127914590
I got like 12 wins in a row, from above gold to diamond with Vanar, last season
That doesn't mean shit anon

>>127912789
>>127929134
To elaborate: if you see that the enemy has a jaxi on the field, you don't necessarily put your minions on the middle line, since that allos the enemy to suicide his jaxi into it and get a safe mini-jaxi. This inherently creates more interesting board dynamics. That alone is a vast advantage over the current system.

>>127925742
Your personal inability to play against Vanar effectively does not mean the matchup is Vanar-favored.

nth for fuck songhai

>>127929319
I was talking about all the Vanar more than straight wins.

My day went:
7 Vanar (3 mechaz0r)
3 Abyssian (1 mechaz0r
1 Vet
1 Songhai

Lmao hailstoned

Both Lyonar and magmar used to just board wipe, now they can't and hence it's a bad match up. The tempo loss from getting your archon or elder removed for 2 mana is huge.

>>127932157
Mechazor has always been a fucking shit boring concept

>>127932269
I agree to no end. It's just a "Oh do I have an answer? No: I lost; Yes: I win"

>>127932424
Exactly
There's even a fucking 3 mana card that instantly counters the whole archetype
Why can't the devs into good gamedesign despite having a decent game at their hands

>>127932246
>Vanar's early game minions are better
Fenrir is the best 3-drop in the game. He is better than all of your early game units. All of your early game units are better than all of Vanar's non-Fenrir early game units.
>Silenced+2 damage for ez removal
No, Martyrdom and Lasting Judgement are ez removal spells. They actually kill the Vanar minions. Chromatic Cold leaves your guys up and all of them except Silverguard are still decent afterwards.
>Lmao hailstoned
Don't drop a huge minion when you have too many cards in hard, or possibly drop that huge minion anyway if it's named Keeper of the Vale. Fuck are they gonna do, Hailstone your Keeper? Who cares.

reminder that silverguard trades with fenrir :^)

>>127932786
>All of your early game units are better than all of Vanar's non-Fenrir early game units.
Cloaker trades with zealed windblade.
The rest are neutrals.

Oh wait.

How is that useless? It's still better in every way to Vale Hunter. Why is it okay for it to be overpowered if we take away the RNG involved in its strength?

Should Keeper of the Vale just spawn the strongest creature that's died? It's not RNG so it's okay that it's overpowered.

>>127933278
>How is that useless?
Because it will instantly die to everything
Okay, maybe I got too used to Jaxi being the default neutral 2-drop and it's worth a though, to make jaxi more of a situational card. But I'm pretty sure it'd just disappear instantly
>>

You don't have to make hyperbolic nonsense arguments for us to get your point anon

>>127933065
But Windblade is on pretty much all the time, Cloaker isn't. Hence, Windblade is a better unit.
>The rest are neutrals.
Silverguard isn't. It also happens to tear through everything Vanar's got in the early game unless they can silence it.
>>127933278
>How is that useless?
Because your 1/1 ranged unit is being spawned in melee range.

>>127933605
>It also happens to tear through everything Vanar's got in the early game unless they can silence it.
If only they didn't have hailstone, mana burn and aspects... If only ;_; If onl they couldnt fenrir and general hit...

>>127917947

>>127933605
You have the best tool in the game to mess up with zeals. It's a minion called hearth sister which is actually fucking amazing. If you don't use it that's not my bad. If you don't fully exploit stuff like mark of solitude and jaxi in order to clear everything that's not my bad. No one gives a shit about cloaker, everyone knows that it's trash.

One less hailstone that will be used on a unit that isn't meant for the early game. Hell, you're pretty unlikely to have a full hand at that point.

>>127933882
Hearth Sister is a shitty body that trades with an un-zealed Windblade, though.
>If you don't use it that's not my bad.
To be clear, all this is from the perspective of a Lyonar player who has never felt like Vanar is advantaged against me.

>>127933580
>>127933605
If you kill it off in melee range, sure. You can pick off an enemy that's out of position just fine with it. Is that not an interesting positioning mechanic?

Even if it dies instantly it soaked 2 attacks and dealt 3 damage. How is that not strong for a 2-drop? Especially when it's not guaranteed you can deal with the mini-jax. Only two faction-specific 2-drops can say they do the same thing and Gloomchaser would still be a worse Jaxi even with this nerf.

You've gotten too used to a mini-jax being able to give you free effective trades. You've forgotten what a balanced 2-drop is supposed to look like.

>>127934231
Just make the minijaxi an opening gambit like gloomchaser, spawning in any position near the jaxi
>BUT IF HE SPAWN IN THE FRONT THEN IT'S USELESS
well, that's rng for you you piece of shit.

>>127934214
>Hearth Sister is a shitty body that trades with an un-zealed Windblade, though.
Hearth sister trades with all windblades, zeal or not

>>127934231
Actually I now agree with you, I hadd too strong of a case of stockholm syndrome, where I warmed up to my jailor because I thought I'd be stuck with a shitty variant anyhow
I remember that I wanted the card to be deleted when it was first introduced

>>127934683
just make it spawn the mini-jax like 4 tiles or less behind jaxi

Love FFT.
Love Tactics Ogre.
But I see this involves cards, and I got sick of Hearthstone real fast, mainly seeing the same fucking cards/decks every single game.

Would I enjoy this?

>>127934231
>If you kill it off in melee range, sure.
Well...yeah. How would it get killed off outside melee range barring Darkfire Sacrifice? You would have to have it trade with an enemy while also not have any other enemies nearby.
>Only two faction-specific 2-drops can say they do the same thing
The 2/3 2-drops routinely soak 2 attacks and deal 4 damage, if I'm right about what you're referring to.
>>127934683
No.
>>127934791
That is true, yes.
>>127934974
>like 4 tiles or less behind jaxi
That's kind of the point of the proposed change. You should be able to reach the Mini-jax if it spawns in the nearest corner.

>>127935054
Fuck no, tiny card pool atm and lots of very strong and thus mandatory faction or neutral cards
Check the game out again in a year or so, it'll either be good or turbocancer

The game needs more vanilla cards like golems to balance around, like a 2/4 2 drop or something along those lines

>>127935054
this game has much less to do with board positioning than either of those, although it has gone up with the aoe nerfs last patch

>>127934683
That's literally gloomchaser but with range.
Hell, that's probably even stronger as a turn 1 play than current Jaxi.

We're also trying to minimize RNG as much as possible.

>>127935102
>You would have to have it trade with an enemy while also not have any other enemies nearby.
That's what I was saying

>The 2/3 2-drops routinely soak 2 attacks and deal 4 damage
In optimal cases, sure. Those creatures also don't have ranged, though. They don't spawn a body making them extra-sticky.

How is 3/3 for 2 a bad card?
How is a free optimal positioning on a ranged minion a balanced card? How is a 2-drop that can completely control the pace of the game a balanced card?

>>127934912
I'm glad you agree, Anon.

>>127933868
Jaxi
2 Mana
Ranged
Airdrop
1/1

if the opponent is songhai, deal them 25 damage

>>127936043
>I'm glad you agree, Anon.
But I only agree with you because of >>127935417
There's no true neutral 2 drop to balance jaxi against. I'd say that on the same spot was too weak if there was a 2/4, and in that case closest corner would be fine, since it allows for board-centric plays

>>127936043
>How is a free optimal positioning on a ranged minion a balanced card? How is a 2-drop that can completely control the pace of the game a balanced card?
It's not, which is why people are asking for a change that spawns the ranged minion nearby in a predetermined spot. Jaxi-related problems arise from when it spawns on the opposite side of the map.

And vale hunter obviously got powercreeped hard

>>127936547
And it can still do that very easily as early as turn 2 with the proposed change. Now it'll just be more consistently in an untouchable position.

So how is that a good change? Just because it's less random doesn't make it too powerful.

>>127936396
There's the vanilla 3/2 golem, unless you want to consider the creature type part of his effect.

>>127936897
2 health minions don't really count, they're just fucking shit by default unless they have some amazing effect, like heathsister, since 2 dmg general attack

>>127936897
>Now it'll just be more consistently in an untouchable position.
The whole point is that "nearest corner to the Jaxi" is the least untouchable position you can get in pretty much all cases.

This happens with every single person that I add. It's like no one likes this game anymore, not even me. It might be time to leave for a while at least.

Going to start playing, just installed and creating account.

Anyone want to give me their referral code?

>>127937109
But that's not true. The treshhold where it would switch from one side of the map to the complete other side of it it exactly where most of the game takes place. It's very easy to simply move to a different position and get guaranteed perfect position on the mini-jax. Again, this is something you can do very easily on your second turn.

Alternatively, player 2 puts down 2 Jaxis in front of him turn 1. First Jaxi is in an advantageous position for him, forcing you to either back off or give him a perfect mini-jax. Second Jaxi is in the exact middle of the map. 25% to spawn in any corner just like it is now. Nothing changes.
Hell, if he was smart he'd put the second Jaxi on his side too then you're forced to run away or completely concede board control.

The change makes Jaxi just as strong. Just less random. Jaxi is a problem because he's both random and too strong. Solving one problem isn't making the other go away.

So what exactly is the problem with having the mini-jax spawn under him when he dies?
Honestly the mini-jax wouldn't even need ranged for it to be a decent card. 3/3 for 2 is not going to be a bad card ever.

>Stuck with Abyssian Challenger quest, but I'm a bit low on gold so I decide to go for it anyway
>Build unbelievably shitty creep deck and lose 3 games in a row to people whose card choices imply they were also doing quests

I don't know what to make of this.

Thoughts on Voice of the Wind? Is it generally better than Ancient Grove/AOTM? Just got one and I'm wondering about swapping it out for the Grove or Aspect or not.

>>127937872
There are no referral codes. Use redditpals if you want 100 starting gold and to be branded as a redditor

>>127937134
Eh, I'm betting they'll fix it in the new patch. Hopefully.

Keeper severely needs a nerf, but the nice thing about is that you can't play it if you're already losing.

Jaxi needs a slight nerf, too, but it's not nearly as bad as Keeper.

>new vet
Well, the previous one had tactics, but this one is shit. I can't say it didn't need a nerf, though. It just needs more synergy with SF and everything else - maybe if one card was reworked to give +1/+1 to three minions, but third wish was kept as blast (because quite honestly the synergy with sand howler is great).

Vanar needs to be straightened out, because holy fuck they barely have any thematic anymore, although their "stay on either side of the field and get punished" ability is kind of impossible to play around, but not nearly as much as Songhai. Not to mention Fenrir having a really annoying health pool to play around. If they just made the Spirit Wolf 3/2, I think I'd be happy enough.

And Songhai is the worst of it, along with Abysshit. Songhai still has no weaknesses beyond easily-removable provokes, and any Abysshit is running aggro to the point where they're incredibly frustrating to play against.

That is, they're mainly frustrating to play against because not only do they have high attack but two Shadow Nova and you've lost almost 25% of your base health, and another one and you'll lose 50%.

Magmar has lost its stance on any pure control builds due to the loss of Mana Burn, while aggro Magmar is still where it's always been.

Lyonar's been nerfed, but I don't really think I can argue with it, beyond that they need something else to keep them effective against swarms.

People will leave

>>127939776
>Vanar needs to be straightened out, because holy fuck they barely have any thematic anymore
You're not wrong, but I always see people bringing this up while disregarding the fact that you can say the same thing about Vet.

>>127939776
The whole game feels like a clusterfuck to me atm
Songhai is completely detached from the rest of the game and does its own thing
Vanar and Vetruivian don't really have a theme anymore
Nor does Abyssian, really
Magmar seems okay, but to me their playstyle doesn't seemt o be particularly enjoyable or satisfying to either player
Lyonar seems to be the most fitting concept still left, but their default wincon, Divine Bond, is all kinds of lame

>>127939776
Jaxi and Keeper sort of fill different niches of OP though. I wouldn't call one worse than the other. Obviously Keeper's going to bull bigger bullshit since it's 3 more mana but Jaxi's position as a 2-drop that can completely dominate the board is pretty notable in terms of broken.
You're wrong that you can't Keeper while behind though. It's pretty often the optimal play to try and regain tempo via roll of the die actually.

I agree they need to give us more SF synergy. It wasn't a broken card, shitting out 15 free damage was broken. With the current card pool SF could be a 3-mana card and be fine.

I'd like both Fenrir and the wolf to be 3/2s, honestly. I don't think that's too unreasonable of a nerf.

Songhai isn't even countered by provokes. Juxtapose means you need an unreasonable amount of protection to be safe from. MDS is bad enough on its own but when you need to be hugging a wall and 1 provoke still isn't enough there's a fucking problem.

Shadow Nova is fine, though. Dark Seed is honestly my biggest agitator.

And kill Archon already. And Metamorph if they ever plan on buffing Magmar.

>>127940049
I got into Vet because I liked the spell-slinging blue control feel it had. Now they play like a white aura deck and the niche I loved is gone. Maelstrom keeps me interested but it's not enough.
Shoulda changed TW to be like Cruel Edict. 3 different control-y effects targetting different shit involving 3 somehow. A lot more interesting than blast blast blast.

>>127940610
Eh. Looking at Vet I always think they ahve a "stronghold" there, where you are supposed to make a fort that will lead you to victory (high HP "walls"/ literally walls with Obelisks), and Blast as their "cannons", hitting from the back line. I'm only Silver tho and just started recently.

Abby is obvious all about ALAHU AKBAR, sending units into you untill you die.

You aren't wrong about Songhai. Playing against them is scrambling to kill thembefore their solitare game ends and they OTK you.

>>127941642
That's probably what they intended for Vet when this game wasn't a card game and was a tactics game but now they're just a faction that plays the stickiest creatures possible to slap buffs on them

>>127941252
>And Metamorph if they ever plan on buffing Magmar
Mate magmar is and will be dead.

>>127944068

>>127937872
>>127939776
Nevermind that, I've already uninstalled. Seven games in a row of getting shit on by people with full-on epic/purple cards at Bronze/starter level.

At least Hearthstone is transparent about forcing you to pony up the wallet.

>>127941252
>I'd like both Fenrir and the wolf to be 3/2s, honestly. I don't think that's too unreasonable of a nerf.

Hmm, I don't know. I like the Warmaster having 3 health, since he's tanky at base, and at the same time, having just 1 health on the wolf would mean a Bloodtear or Wing of Mechaz0r could oneshot it and have a minion left over. I like the card as one of the meatier ones of Vanar, but they need to work on Avalanche + positioning + whatnot.

>>127944574
The game is actually super generous with rare cards. I'd wager a good majority of the posters here haven't spent money on the game and feel happy with their card pool.

>>127944574
Hmm, I would've waited.

The ladder is hell until halfway through the month or so, because talentless songoloids and abysshits use decent decks but suck so much that they get pushed back into earlier ranks.

It's a fucking mess, but rare cards are actually rare. People having epic cards isn't surprising, though, if they haven't played in ladder before.

Start on the quests, get a bunch of packs. You can pretty easily get free legends + epics from starting achievements, and you might find yourself enjoying the game with a more well-built deck.

>>127944950
I am, but I've never fucking got TW, so I've never even been able to switch to Vet.

Also, they were all seven against Songhai. Not even in HS there's this level of "single-classitude".

You can quite easily open 1 pack a day, 2 if you grind out 15 wins etc. Plus instead of the usual pack being 1 rare 4 commons, like HS. It's more like 1epic, 2 rares 2 commons.
