how is it surprising at all that a faction might use magmar's wing design in their armor as either a fuck you or extra intimidation

You can wait.

what do i get from gauntlet if i shit the bed and only win 3-4 times?

How the literal fuck does the "in front of " mechanic work? I try to the right and left of a unit and it works almost randomly from game to game. Is it reliant on my starting side?

>>121616830
Any spell would do, it also dies when counterattacked.

>>121617340
Yes. Look at the direction your general is facing, that is ALWAYS the "front of" direction. The same is true for Backstab

>>121617340
>Is it reliant on my starting side?
yes, same with backstab

>>121617614
I just realized it's my minion. I have no idea how I got it.

Seriously, they will need to rework this class. It's fucking solitaire in both ladder and gauntlet. No mater your draws, this fucker is always in control.

>>121617910
Songhai has a card that turns your minion into a Pando

Have someone protect your general's back. Use provoke sometimes. It's really draw reliant and faction specific. What are you playing?

>>121623445
Have a buttbuddy at your back, hope he draws bad. Playing against songay is more about what he draws not so much what you do, which makes them a chore to play against.

As Abyssian, just run2 healing mystics, that 4/4 healbitch and maybe 1-2 rejuvenation 4/4 knights. You also have that 1 mana spell that heals you and damages the opponent. I'm pretty sure burn abyssian with a healing module would work against rush songays.

Enemies can freely move past it, but generals and ranged units have to attack it before anything else

They can't attack anything else while he's on the board? Or can they move around it like provoke?

First time playing Gauntlet, who do I pick?

>>121623984
As a songai player, what you need to do is basically kill anything that they drop. This is hard to do sometimes, but if you allow one little fucker to stay there, he's going to get buffed to oblivion and weck your shit. You can't give that ninja fucker a single breath, you have to be up on him and dodging the backstab at the same time. My minions are honestly pretty shit, they all have 3 life except stronk punch wizard, abuse this.
If he drops a lantern fox and it's still alive next turn, consider yourself dead. Sometimes, if he gets the RNG gods by his side, he can kill you with them in the turn that they are dropped.
And if you want easy climbing, get lyonar. It's almost impossible to lose against songhai as a lyonar, and those fuckers are everywhere.

>>121625520
Post deck.

>>121626117
Unlike Provoke, you can freely move while it's on the board. But if he's within range, your general has to attack him first

>>121626394
Yeah, legendaries are bullshit in arena. This isn't hearthstone when less than 1/4 of legendaries are game breakingly OP.

I think I'm just going to quit before the official release. This game basically lost most people interested by now and only super invested dudes who spent hundreds will remain. I will be playing Hearthstone if you need me, a game that is marginally more enjoyable and strategic.

>>121627275
I'm thinking of doing the same thing. I don't even remember the last time I had an equal match.
It's either getting clubbed by people with legendaries out the ass, or clubbing people with shitty decks that don't do anything.
The game is just too dead to keep playing.
Half the matches are against same people over and over again.
New people quit when they get stomped at rank 20 by assholes who refuse to move up to have fun.
I want to keep playing to keep the game alive but it just isn't happening anymore.
Even these generals are more and more dead every day.

For nearly every type of deck: Snow Chaser, Hailstone Prison, Hearth-Sister, Razorback.
Added Vespyr synergy: Bonechill Barrier, Borean Bear, Glacial Elemental, Cryogenesis

There's also Mark of Solitude to buff weak 1-2 drops with, and Arctic Displacer to use as a finisher with Hearth-sister. Place in corner of the map away from enemies, if survives, hearth-sister teleport in for the kill.

>>121648210
Voice of the Wind and Frosthorn Rhyno are great
Glacial Elemental and Aspect of the Drake are controversial but I like them
Boundless Courage is good, but Frostfire is free and almost as good

As for commons, Bonechill Barrier, Hailstone Prison and Hearth-Sister are a must

Is it just me, or is Gold much harder than it was last season?

Keep posting your cards here and I can safely tell you what you can dust.

>>121670875
Yeah, much better than Hearthstone
The only PvE here are the Challenges, basically "lethal puzzles" where you have to kill the enemy general in 1 turn. I heard they'll add a "story mode" since they're interested in the lore so maybe they'll add more PvE.
Packs have good ratios of finding legendaries/epics (I found a legendary every 4-5 packs or similiar) so you have more sources to craft the cards you want and build a competitive deck.

pros: so far you can easily climb to gold in ladder if you can play it safe with budged deck. No bullshit dr.doom on every deck. Faction decks are pretty flexible especially abyss because you can either play cheap budget shadow creep or deadwatch minions.

cons: burst damage out of nowhere and game's not popular for some reason so less players. I bet it's because less of marketing budget and it's pretty much direct competitor to the giant blizz game hearthstone

pve: so far it's tutorial/training ground. It's pretty fun if you are into brain cracking for bullshit move. Sometime the pve get fucked by changes in card. Bots game are dull and playing against players are more fun.

I'm too retarded to live I guess.

Pretty casual though there's tournament but noone seems to care. Except for vetruvian decks, stacking legendaries pretty much less common occurrence.

I am on budget deck and i love playing as magmar and songhai.

>>121673375

You only have the 2 legendaries, play the different factions and try to see for yourself which one you like the most and build a deck around said faction.

How do you counter shadow nova and why does it proc immediately after the turn ends?
It's not like i have a lightbender ready for it at any moment.

>>121678849
Keep yourself healed up and area dispels. It would pretty much never deal damage if it was ever later than the turn it's layed down.

>>121679517
>Keep yourself healed up and area dispels.

So pray to RNGeesus? Ok.

>>121672359
Agreed on the burst damage. This game would be so much better if the numbers were lower, or starting life higher. It seems like they just wanted fast games so they made retardedly high damage cards and combos

Magmar bros - what do you run in your 3-slots? I feel so conflicted about what to put there.

>>121680576
Murkblood or Lady Locke. Those are the only cards I'd consider putting there

>>121680576
>>121680731
Ah shit, forgot about Mogwai. That card is the bees knees

>>121680731
Welp. Guess it's Saberspine Tiger with Diretide until I can wallet up for those.

>>121680804
I do find myself wanting to kill Mogwai as soon as it's played... Perhaps it'd be worth crafting two?

>>121678849
>>121679646
Abyssian has way worse threats than (the first) Shadow Nova, like Nightsorrow Assassin + Shadow Reflection for 9 dmg 6 mana combo.

BUUUT if that Shadow Nova has you shaking in your boots, start separating you general from your units starting from right before their Turn 7. Before moving, summon the new minions close to Abyssian then back off until Shadow Nova can either only hit a part of your troops or face, not both. Abyssian can't establish board the turn they use Shadow Nova.

If that's too much effort, then have fun dodging Star's Fury + Third Wish in gold and above.

>>121678849
it should do one or more of a few things to not be completely retarded:

>deal damage to any general or minion standing on it, friendly or enemy

>once a shadowcreep tile deals damage to something standing on it, it is dispelled

>>121673375
The two legos you got happen to be top tier ones for both factions. Though I would say play Abyssian first since the Songhai artifact almost requires you to run mist walking/silhouette tracer to be effective.

will steam release finally save our dead thread/game?

>>121684404
No. Just quit now and stop wasting time on it.

>>121684636
Kill yourself

>>121682495
Both of those would totally ruin it though. Personally I'd make it so it triggers at the start of the controller's turn, not the end. That way Shadow Nova isn't a 4/8/12 damage 2x2 nuke and you can't do stupid Daemonic Lash shit for removal.

>>121684706
Why get this mad over a dead game? You know it's only a matter of months now.

>Locke+Zurael is 10 mana
Why won't you let me have fun game?

>>121684791
I think that your suggestion is way bigger of a nerf than "dealing damage dispels it" or "it damages anyone who stands on it"

with either of those options, the potential is still there to bring out surprise aoe damage, but either it introduces a cost in the form of having to be more and more careful with your positioning, or it prevents 2 consecutive turns of multiplicative damage.

>>121686070
No, having them dispel upon doing damage would ruin them. People would just place their bulky minions onto single patches to eat them away. The whole point of shadow creep is to slowly coat the battlefield in it; single tiles do little and allowing players to pretty easily remove them means they'd never actually add up enough to be a threat. Shadow Nova is already pretty mediocre if it just hits for 4; dispelling anything it hits as well completely guts it.

The "damage anything" would be a little less debilitating but it's a negative incentive to use shadow creep and you'd be limiting yourself by using it. No thanks.

>>121686328
>People would just place their bulky minions onto single patches to eat them away
that's the point, it introduces some form of counterplay yet still retains a huge element of risk: if you move a big minion onto a tile in the hopes of just dispelling it you open that minion up to taking something 8 damage next turn if more get put down, while at the same time only reducing the damage dealt from other tiles by 1.

>>121686673
That's not a huge element of risk because it costs 7 to put down a Shadow Nova. There would be little to no risk in putting a minion on a spare tile here and there.

>>121686775
again
you're risking a phat expensive unit to reduce the net damage on any other given tile by 1

>>121686825
Or like a 2/3. Pretty much every class can generate tokens.

>>121628415
>kujata x 2
>8 wins
How?

>>121686870
right, so a 2/3 will immediately die to shadow nova and, for the third time now, reduce the net damage output of the other tiles by 1

alternatively, multiple 2/3's used to clear multiple tiles in one turn just means you're clearing the field for the rest of your minion spam, which can now do do their delicious suicide runs directly onto the general instead of needing to chip down minions

>>121687171
what? That's hardly risky. worse case scenario they spend 7 mana to deal 5 damage to 4 minions and your general. Once. And that's if you're positioned terribly.

>>121687358
We're not even talking about the fact that you can have Sarlac eat the creep? It costs the non-Abyssian exactly nothing at fucking all

>>121687565
True, but having a Sarlac on the field vs Abyssian is often detrimental.

>>121687358
seems about on par with other aoe damage spells that don't have the benefit of adding on to future spells if they're left around

at the very most reducing the cost by 1 mana would put it on the level with multi-casting other aoe spells

>>121687565
considering we're talking about dispelling the tile it costs you a fucking sarlac for the dumbest play of your life

Somebody with talent, please draw this but as abyssian!

I beg you, it's matter of life and fap

>>121687634
That's worst case. On average it'd hit 1-2 minions and your general for 5. Once. For 7 mana. That's completely awful. do you even play abyssian or is this just whining

>>121687891
on average it'd hit/dispell 1-2 minions, hit the general and set up a follow up. for 6-7 mana.

and your argument is that this is more of a nerf than hitting for 0. Do you even play duelysts?

>>121647353
Is Lyonar cheap?

>>121686042
Kujata

>>121688962
Relatively

>>121688962
relatively
a little cheaper than most magmar, and cheaper than strong songhai or vanar, definitely cheaper than vetruvian

I'm honestly not sure what faction has the cheapest rank10 deck

just realized I haven't seen a vetruvian in a very long time though

>>121690441
>Cheapest rank10 deck
I think an aggro/burn Abyssian is very cheap to make

all I want is an Elder drop before the inevitable nerf

literally magmar is all anyone is bitching about, and it just so happens to be the deck I built/disenchanted around since it got my first 2 lego drops. Thankfully my backup faction is vanar which no-one seems to give a fuck about but man it's disheartening to just know your faction is inevitably going to get stepped on at some point

>>121691278
Even if they nerf Elder it doesn't mean Magmar will be shit, with all the powerfull other cards it has.
Also, they're not like Blizzard that thinks that nerf=make the card complete shit. Lady Locke was nerfed but it still usable (no, actually it's STILL used anyway).

>>121691278
>>121691440
Elder isn't even the problem

It's their goddamn spells

>>121691523
Nah it's their overly cost efficient minions
a 4/5 rebirth for 4m
4/4 frenzy rush, a minion that makes it even cheaper to summon those tanky minions at a tradeoff of 1hp?

Magmar spells aren't even close to vetruvian level, who can just destroy or take any minion, turn even the weeniest minion into a provoke tank at will, literally dispel for free, turn any minion into a flying tank, deal damage in multiples of 2 for every unit you have on the board(doesn't even have to be to those minions) and heal/overheal all of their own minions at little to no cost

>>121691523

it's fun and free, a little more engaging than hearthstone and the artstyle is fucking gorgeous. Definitely worth a play.

Climbing the ladder can be a challenge because the matchmaking will just decide to show you what a god-tier legendary deck looks like out of the blue every now and then, but I've been able to get decent help with all of my decks by posting in this general.

>>121696267

Attempts to build board advantage with minions and removal

>>121697004
ah, thanks

I think that's the playstyle I find the most entertaining but how does that differ from control?

>>121697262
Somewhere along the line people started using tempo to describe a playstyle in card games when it was used to describe a factor of the match before.

Tempo decks tend to build board advantage early (looking to dominate in the midrange usually), but control decks just try to nullify stuff in the early game so they have time to gather their win cons in the late game.

I finally fucking did it
I cracked gold

Here's my deck. It focuses on beating down enemy minions the turn they come out to keep a minion advantage, while simultaneously whittling down their general at all costs.

Right now, Songhai is 50/50 against it since they usually have a speed advantage over me when it comes to general damage output. Vanar Control will win against it more often than not, unfortunately, and Abyssian straight shits on it, usually having a stronger mid and late game.

Any improvements that could be made right off the top? I'm thinking of dropping the 2x Earth Sphere for something else since I've never used that for anything but extending an alread-losing game.

Saving up for some vindicators at the moment. Other than that I have no clue.

>>121698878
Drop the Flamebloods, they don't benefit you whatsoever if you're not playing heavy aggro. I'd dump a Mana Burn for a Lightbender, perhaps get 2 of them, and for gods sake, put in a Plasma Storm

>>121698878
No plasma storm?

I desire to own a zoo.
What is the best zoo?

>>121699819

I like the idea of running more dispel, but without vindicator (yet) to keep the damage coming out turn by turn I've found that they're one of my only reliable sources of dirt-cheap early damage, and often force unfavorable trades to remove them from the field since if they aren't removed quickly a Greater Fortitude or a Diretide Frenzy is an extremely inexpensive way to turn them into a serious problem

re Plasma Storms(>>121700120), would running 2 in the place of Earth Spheres be enough, or is that spell worth cutting something to make room?

>>121700356
Arcanyst Healyonar is disgusting fun

That fucking Owlbeast shit is ludicrous and fits well with everything
running a shit-load of other arcanysts suddenly lets you flood the field with tanky stupidity and then tanks them some more every time you divine blessing one into a phatass monster

dispell utterly thrashes it, but it's worth it for how amusing it can be when you get your shit out properly

>>121700673

>>121702603

remember that you only have 30 cards
keep an eye on your mana curve

>>121702725
What about songai?

And how cheap is a golem deck for a beginner?

>>121703298
Golems are probably the cheapest deck, right up there with shadow creep

>>121704249
How does shadow creep play out?

>>121703298
Songhai is definitely one of the most fun decks to play. It has a pretty decent number of options for OTK's, and a really fun playstyle in general. Not necessarily the best foundation for a zoo deck since its spells can be pretty dependent on its minions' faction traits.

Golem is dirt cheap, but you probably want to avoid dissenchanting too many cards to build it because it isn't especially competitive and doesn't have that much overlap with other decks

>>121704453
Shadow creep plays out by you buying time as best you can until turn 7 by shitting out weenies as fast as humanly possible and a couple deathwatch minions to distract the enemy, then winning by dealing catastrophic damage turns 7 & 8 with shadowcreep tiles

It is undeniably fun to play, and pretty much its only weakness is getting rushed down too fast.

>>121705809
>being THIS salty about Sarlac

>>121706117
I actually play abyssian. If they made that rule it'd give me an excuse to not craft the last Sarlac.

>>121705809
I like the one legendary out at a time rule, since it's basically identical to the legends rule in MTG

but a) how does it interact with Elder Slithar itself, since it replicates itself as its only feature, and
b) how does it interact with spells like fractal replication

>>121705809
>eldar slithar is out on the board
>he has replicated 2x, for a total of 3 elder slithars currently in play
>you draw your second elder
>you play it
>???

>>121706556
to address these issues, we should just remove magmar

fuck magmar

>>121706556
>>121706676

I'm imagining the rule to be "If you have a legendary on the board you can't play any with the same name from your action bar"

So you can still clone your legos and they can clone themselves.

Thinking about it a little more, Silithar Elder would still be incredible as a 3 of because if your opponent doesn't deal with it immediately they lose and if they do then you can just play your next copy. Plus, the egg wouldn't count as having him in play.

>>121703147
>keep an eye on your mana curve

Elaborate pls.

>>121706962
Dun b mad because magmar is strong against your faction. The right abyss/songhai deck will burn them to the ground with impunity

hell, if you have the legos for it, vanar can out-control them 9 times out of 10

>>121707076
the main issue with this is that in an indirect effort to lessen the hold of Legendaries on the game, you've turned magmar into the only faction that can have multiples of a legendary on the board through Fractal Replication, turning them into kind of a powerhouse.

>>121706556
Same rule as MTG.

You can open it whenever you want. I still have to play four games as Vanar for the quest.

>>121719070
You also get Hexblade, and Blindscorch is temporary, so you can hoist ANYTHING for 6 mana and it doesn't have to be near your general. That's a pretty good rate.

Depends on division. They add 4 cards every month of each rarity, and you get gold + dust + some of the new cards depending on your division.

End of the month.

You've got time.

>>121723724
At the end of the month.

>>121723701
So mad.

>>121723701
Perhaps I should be proud playing magmar with mankantors? HeaLyonar and make everyone hate the idea of playing the game? Vetruvian and spam star fury + third wish? Abyssian in fucking general?
You can talk shit to me if you play vanar because infiltrate is a pain in the balls. Everything else, you are a scrub like me or worst.

I fucking wish. Since rank 13 I kept playing against gold guys over and over again.

Why is this guy so shit? Why does he cost 5, holy crap? He keeps appearing in my drops and I fucking hate him

meme cards get dusted on sight

I never understand why Songhai players always get close, even though they have the potential to hit you from across the map for a bajillion damage. Their continued existence is a threat to the other player, they should hang back and wait for combos.

>>121726169
Yeah, I love his design, but his effect his crap. To begin with ranged minions are either dealt in one turn or dispelled.

>>121726846
Backstab ?

>>121726846
They can buff their face with extra damage and there's also a backstab artifact.

>>121726846
If my general hits you, you'll have less health.

If you have less health, I might be able to take you out with a combo that otherwise wouldn't have.

Songhai is more about killing the other player before they ramp up than anything else.

I guess, but 90% of my wins against Songhai have been because they couldn't deal with a strong minion of mine in their face. They're the only faction with a real possibility of dealing 20+ damage from anywhere on the map, it seems weird that you'd want to close in.

>>121731209
If you stay away, your enemy will just swarm you with a shit load of minions and you won't be able to deal with them. You can't trust hearthseekers that much, and you have nothing really solid to put on the table. Notice that songai also don't have a direct removal unless it's by pure damage or that spell that can kill a minion in one shot, but you need a minion on the battlefield to use it.

>tfw no duelyst gf

Which one is better, mogwai or wind runner?

>>121731792
>tfw no alpha magmar to breed ur bp

>>121732032

>>121732017

>>121732169

>>121732017
Mogwai by far

>>121732017
Both kinda trash outside songhai

>Songhai playing super agressive
>Getting all up my face, trading with my gloom dudes with his face
>tanking tons of face dmg, getting low
>Friends me and rage when I burst him with 9 damage assassin

I guess people don't expect abyss to have empty board dmg.
