wut

#

who says im playing abyss

#

lul

#

i just said that guy a meme

#

thats all

umbral seal
#

I'm not. You said earlier it's a meme and it is not.

mystic tartan
#

i dont believe him

umbral seal
#

I explained why he can, situationally, be better or worse than undead soldier

mystic tartan
#

yeah undead soldier is more annoying

blissful olive
#

ngl zooey has done the least for me in this deck

mystic tartan
#

vaseraga is just not it for me

mystic tartan
#

she can be clutch

umbral seal
#

That's not a cuttable option.

blissful olive
#

if i could ever draw her sure

mystic tartan
#

i usually draw

blissful olive
#

and when i do its past the point of being useful her turn 10 shit doesnt do fuck all

mystic tartan
#

but yeah in rare occasion i dont have a single ramp

umbral seal
#

Ferocious Flame is cuttable. It's a good card but not mandatory.

blissful olive
#

yeah really

mystic tartan
#

bro u should see my replay

#

wait

blissful olive
#

how come every time i draw it

mystic tartan
#

ill give u an example

blissful olive
#

ginsex is on the field

mystic tartan
#

shes clutch sometimes

#

i mean

#

mode abyss is just

#

good against dragon if they can get to sham

umbral seal
#

But she is very useful whether she's ramping or stalling

blissful olive
#

the only way shes good stalling is if they dont have a wall of wards

mystic tartan
#

its 50/50 against mode abyss either u kill them first

blissful olive
#

or u cuck billy by chance

mystic tartan
#

or they just control the fuck out of u

umbral seal
#

But most classes can't build a wall

blissful olive
#

abyss as well

umbral seal
#

So, outside of congregant or post-nacha ginsetsu, not really.

#

These things are also easily clearable with filene and/or azurifrit

#

Also twilight dragon (better at clearing than azurifrit without using s-evo)

blissful olive
#

yeah those are the only cards that matter and come up very often

#

idk what id take out for TD tbh

#

i mean i can drop lyra maybe

umbral seal
#

A lot of smaller wards can be cleared simply by saving fangs from galm

umbral seal
#

Also, what is "TD"?

blissful olive
#

dragon

mystic tartan
umbral seal
#

Personally, I wouldn't run Twilight Dragon, I run Azurifrit instead for more face damage. Personal preference, though.

mystic tartan
#

i know this guy gonna albert my ass

#

next turn if i dont zooey

blissful olive
#

i guess i can drop lyra

mystic tartan
#

1 lyra is enough for me

blissful olive
#

only thing she does is search wilnas

#

which doesnt matter half the time

mystic tartan
#

well i pray sometimes

#

cus she can search all the good shit

#

ganryu,odin,wilnas,genesis,azurifirt

umbral seal
blissful olive
#

there isnt anything else in here

#

garyu sure but idc about that

mystic tartan
#

she can pull genesis too

umbral seal
#

You are also running 1 shark. Anyway, I'll show you my list.

umbral seal
blissful olive
#

im not running genesis atp

mystic tartan
#

bro

blissful olive
#

with all the ward decks

mystic tartan
#

just use 1 of him

blissful olive
#

yeahh.... lol

umbral seal
#

I honestly don't know what rating people play at to be running into so many ward decks, because I barely see them nowadays.

mystic tartan
blissful olive
#

we have like 10 of him

#

forte odin gayu zooey

#

fucking

#

wilnas ig

mystic tartan
#

bro u already gonna run out of evos

#

usually

umbral seal
#

Anyway, this is my list and I have not changed it since hitting beyond.

mystic tartan
#

also sevo him is 12 damage to face

blissful olive
#

that just looks like the same thing i posted

#

but u have genesis and azur

umbral seal
mystic tartan
#

like i have meet an opponent that cant deal with him

#

i ramp twice

#

and genesis kek

umbral seal
#

The extra firepower is necessary.

mystic tartan
#

i rarely meet evo abyss now

#

its either portal puppet or dirt evo rune

umbral seal
#

Midrange abyss seems to be getting a bit more popular than evo nowadays

#

Evo Rune is still very popular. Puppet portal is popular because people realized it's a very cheap tier 1 deck. Destruction portal is also popular, despite not being as strong as puppets, because it can beat most t1 decks if it draws well

blissful olive
#

notice u dont run shark either

#

probably better to 1 off him and genesis

umbral seal
#

Since I don't, I cut it

mystic tartan
#

haven is ass

#

well good i guess after that last set

#

tired of seeing them BedgeU

umbral seal
#

Nope, hybrid crest/ward Haven is still good. Calling it ass is not consistent with where the beyond leaderboards are at right now.

blissful olive
#

haven is still really strong

#

also direct counter to abyss

umbral seal
#

Pure ward haven is not good, but it's played by people who want to see others suffer

mystic tartan
#

no its not really strong

#

LOOT IS REALLY STRONG

blissful olive
#

loot was always broken

umbral seal
#

Loot is tier 1. We know that. Loot being busted doesn't mean Haven is ass.

#

This is not a logical train of thought.

blissful olive
#

id play loot myself but its just boring

mystic tartan
#

i mean Haven doesnt do much against Dragon now

#

i usually won

mystic tartan
#

last set

umbral seal
#

I agree Haven isn't that hard since they give you time to ramp

#

There are harder match ups for dragon

mystic tartan
#

yeah u can just ramp

blissful olive
#

loot feels like old artifact

#

they get everything for free and dont need to spend resources

mystic tartan
#

tablet is so good on loot makes that deck a gigabroken one

umbral seal
# blissful olive also direct counter to abyss

Haven does not counter abyss, lol. It doesn't even beat mode anymore. It's never beat midrange and even the evo deck beats it because they can put out a lot of midgame pressure without even thinking about Belial

blissful olive
#

yes it does

#

not the craft itself but ti directly counters billy

mystic tartan
#

well that one amulet only

umbral seal
#

ICANT Temple of Repose being able to block Belial does not mean it counters abyss. If you could read, you'd see I explained that above.

blissful olive
#

oh brother

mystic tartan
#

either way im just going to play Dragon

blissful olive
#

miracles do happen

#

it must be christmas

mystic tartan
#

yeah sometimes they die

blissful olive
#

oh now im vs rune aight gg lmao

#

i dont see any way dragon wins this

mystic tartan
#

u can

blissful olive
#

if they afk sure xffing

mystic tartan
#

its an ok matchup

blissful olive
#

ima just go face no sense trading here

umbral seal
#

Of course, if you simply ignore their board, you're going to lose. The deck doesn't work that way.

blissful olive
#

well ur not out trading them

#

and ur not winning once that other hoe is out with a billion ER

umbral seal
#

Evo Rune lacks significant reach. You should control the board early & midgame. Obviously you have to ignore lilanthim unless there isn't an absurd amount of ER stacks

#

I've won plenty of times post lilanthim by ignoring her because she's not realistically removable for most classes

#

But that much should be obvious

blissful olive
#

some would lie to me and say this is winnable even

umbral seal
#

And as I stated earlier, evo rune is why I run 2 genesis. Because you're correct in the sense that you will not out-late game them. You have to kill them before they hit their late game.

umbral seal
blissful olive
#

i cant

#

i dont have nitro

#

i just drew dog shit

umbral seal
#

Perhaps. Sometimes that happens. But I'm also wondering why DJ can hit face since it looks like you could've cleared whatever the board was prior.

blissful olive
#

no i couldnt have

#

i had to play zooey to clear 1 guy

umbral seal
#

What was the board state before caglio and edel dropped?

blissful olive
#

gran and 1 other evoed guy

#

the one that makes copies

umbral seal
#

Norman?

blissful olive
#

no

#

the 3/3

umbral seal
#

I'm even more confused now. Anyway, that's not relevant. Based on what I can see, you were at 9 pp when you played zooey. I do not understand why you didn't play Galm, since that's a very easy full clear if the opponent's board was just two dudes

blissful olive
#

there was only 1 card on the board so im not full sending galm there

umbral seal
#

??? I thought there were two cards on the opponent's board. If there was just one, that's even more reason to play Galm, since you would not need to super evo trade

blissful olive
#

yeah after i hit it with zooey

umbral seal
#

Since you can't post a replay, I would need to see the board state prior

blissful olive
#

there was 1 left

#

told u the 3.3 that makes copies and evos itself + gran

umbral seal
blissful olive
#

i guess?

#

theres only 1 card that does it

umbral seal
#

Calling her a 5/5 would've made me less confused but okay, now I'm seeing the picture. Again, this still doesn't explain to me why you wouldn't play Galm. Because the enemy board state is a 5/5 and a 5/4. You're playing a storm deck that already has plenty of reach. Saving galm to go face makes no sense when you can save yourself 5 damage

#

Taking 5 damage like that is how you end up in situations where lilanthim drops and now you can't afford to ignore her

blissful olive
#

because i didnt wanna waste face damage ig

#

it didnt matter either way

umbral seal
#

I understand your reasoning. I am telling you it's incorrect.

#

Galm's primary purpose is board control first. Face damage 2nd. Not the other way around.

blissful olive
#

im aware but ti didnt matter

umbral seal
#

Perhaps you would still lose that game anyway, but misplays like that should always be noted, since that is how you improve and climb. It's how I improve and climb.

blissful olive
#

with a shitty hand like that jesus wasnt gonna win lol

umbral seal
#

Assuming you clear with galm, you have 2 zooey's in hand and two gil's, which I would personally save until Rune reaches 10 unless I needed to heal. Considering a life total of 18, I wouldn't jump the gun on Zooey but I'd be fishing for something better with dragonsign, if my next draw isn't good. If it's bad, I stall with Zooey for two turns while looking for Genesis Dragon if he has no Norman or Azurifrit if he does

#

I've already told you plenty of times that your mentality alone tanks your winrate but you're incapable of listening

blissful olive
#

i just know when a game is over

umbral seal
#

You should always be asking yourself "what are my outs" instead of looking for a reason to quit at the first sign of trouble

blissful olive
#

im not gonna play something out for like another 3-5 minutes banking on a 1% chance

#

there was nothing i could have done anyways

#

also i coudlnt play galm

#

she wasn't even in my hand lol i drew her from a dragon sign afterwards

#

this is where i said fuck it

#

there was no winning past this point with no evos i had to use them to clear

umbral seal
#

With no replay, my input is going to remain the same. Well, except for the fact that you min max your playtime to the point where it sounds like you dislike playing the game

blissful olive
#

i kinda do

#

shit is kind of bad

#

mostly the game lacks depth for me compared to other card games

umbral seal
#

Playing a game you dislike. Must not value your time that much then.

blissful olive
#

the problem ive always had on this game is 0 counter play

#

the shear fact you cannot act on ur opps turn is awful imo

#

that and tbh super evo is horrible fucking mechanic

umbral seal
#

We've already had this discussion of this game never becoming yugioh or magic. It's just weeb Hearthstone

#

Any trap/counter mechanic would also inflate game time more than the devs want (unless it didn't interrupt the timer)

#

Secrets (a Hearthstone mechanic) is probably the best you could hope for but I'd be shocked if even that was implemented

blissful olive
#

it wont be this game is basically the same as sv1

#

only real diff is super evo

umbral seal
#

I'd say the game is definitely worse than sv1 in terms of balance direction

#

They're already designing themselves into a trap by printing cards like Fennie & Zooey

#

Fennie's mere existence is why the devs are so cautious about giving dragon more ramp.

#

Zooey exacerbates the issue since she is ramp, otk protection and damage in one card

mystic tartan
#

52 damage lul

red plover
mystic tartan
#

xdd

umbral seal
red plover
#

yea, I was pretty confused as well

umbral seal
#

A standard list and drawing either octrice or tablet would've very easily killed you

red plover
#

I was considering to quit after I was drawing no crests the whole time but he just couldnt kill me LULE

umbral seal
#

Been ping ponging back and forth from Epic & Ultimate sheeesh

#

Sometimes I just get highrollers

brisk adder
#

dragon is so chill to play

mystic tartan
#

man mode is strong

#

bruh

brisk adder
#

man im streaking bad using dragon

brisk adder
#

grinding while watching worlds

mystic tartan
#

mode abyss is kinda good now ngl

#

i find it more annoying than evo abyss

umbral seal
mystic tartan
#

nah Tier 1 for sure rn

#

im playing loot and its annoying ICANTLOLW

umbral seal
mystic tartan
#

wait

#

do we have different tier

#

i mean Tier 0 is Loot right surely

umbral seal
#

As strong as loot is, I still wouldn't say it's tier 0 as that implies it is nigh unbeatable. Like neutral blood in SV1

#

It's not at that level yet

#

And even if Loot was tier 0, I would still say mode is tier 2. It's good but not tier 1.

#

I would say midrange abyss is closer to tier 1 than mode is.

mystic tartan
#

either way my ranking will be
1 : Loot,Puppet ,Destruction (if not bricked)
2.Mode Abyss ,Midrange Abyss , Evo Rune

#

Dragon its kinda hard cus if i can just ramp and didnt get high cards early on its so good but sometimes i cant even ramp

#

also Haven is kinda ok the not Hybrid one

umbral seal
#

Destruction isn't tier 1 specifically because it's less consistent than puppets. Otherwise, I agree with the placements.

mystic tartan
#

i think Haven in 2 too

#

well but no ones playing it

#

i only meet 1 in tournament

umbral seal
#

Dragon is in an odd place because if they draw well, it feels like a tier 1 deck. If they don't, it feels like a tier 3-4 deck.

#

Which is why I say it's tier 2.

mystic tartan
#

yeah

#

like i can ramp

#

and then pull useless cards

#

like its not consistent

#

also i kinda mald playing it when i only got high cards

#

so many Puppet tho

umbral seal
#

Puppet portal is cheap and very consistent. It's what I've been grinding lately

#

But it's not good into mode abyss specifically because congregant is too many stats early to deal with before orchis is playable

mystic tartan
#

yeah i match mode

#

it do be kinda like that

fading echo
#

what are these dogshit servers tournament won't stop having disconnect errors

fading echo
#

amazing matchmaking in this game i take out wired assault since i haven't seen dragon players in days and the first match is vs a dragoncuck with two wilnas in hand

umbral seal
#

In my puppet list, I run 1 copy of Lu Woh and 2 copies of Sylvia. Wired Assault not needed.

#

Wired Assault should, at most, be a 1-of if you feel like you absolutely need it.

fading echo
#

wired assault is great just because it keeps the game from ever matching into dragon again Okayge

umbral seal
#

That's not how that works sheeesh

fading echo
#

i had it in the deck for every match in the history and the only other two dragons were lobby matches doing dailies LULE

brisk adder
#

I can just ramp and throw shit into their faces

#

No thinking required

#

And my games are faster

umbral seal
#

"No thinking required", lol, sure

mystic tartan

Yeay it can counter loot and puppet

reddit truly

brisk adder
#

What a cry baby

mystic tartan
#

he apologize

umbral seal
# mystic tartan reddit truly

I'm not sure what misplay he's referring to. If you killed Gil instead of Norman, he'd heal to 16 and then you'd truly have no outs

mystic tartan
#

yeah bro is just confused

umbral seal
#

Although, considering he didn't heal off Gil the first time, there was no reason to kill it

#

Actually

#

If he hits Zooey instead of face, he does heal

#

Never mind

mystic tartan
#

yeah Drain moment

#

im also lucky cus he didnt play a single 3pp heal

#

imagine if he has it

Logged on, saw I fell back to Legendary, cooked a sword player

@umbral seal ty for the deck bro

#

im diamond group and aa0 now

umbral seal
#

No problem.

umbral seal
mystic tartan
blissful olive
#

im gonna jump

umbral seal
#

Seen worse hands. You have a 3 if you skip your 2. Top decks also likely to not be high end.

blissful olive
#

i won somehow by pure luck drawing

umbral seal
#

Feel like running a match?

blissful olive
#

i dont run sets in card games its really not my thing

umbral seal
#

Only asking for a single match.

#

Because of the weekly reset

#

But if you don't want to, I'll leave you to it.

blissful olive
#

i can do that sure ive actually stopped doing that now cuz i hate having to ask ppl on discord every sunday

#

it got 2 annoying

umbral seal
#

SHRUGGERS I'll be in my guild lounge

blissful olive
#

u know i cant join u lol

#

u have 2 go to a lobby or something

umbral seal
#

I thought people could join other guild lounges

blissful olive
#

never heard of that being a thing lemme see if i can TP

#

nah

umbral seal
#

One sec.

blissful olive
#

im offended you dont use horse girl

umbral seal
#

Because she sucks

#

Meg does not suck.

umbral seal
#

Evo dragon overall is not that great but free super evos always have potential

blissful olive
#

i kinda wanna run tempo forest but i know its terrible

umbral seal
#

So, tempo forest has draw now with Gran & Djeeta. The problem is closing out games.

blissful olive
#

when i used to run it roach would usually end it

#

cuz even in aggro roach is still silly

cursive crypt
#

ive been havinga blast with evo sword

#

genuinely most fun deck this season

blissful olive
#

did you buy zeta too

cursive crypt
#

no LULE

#

i dont need battle pass to get every card i wanted so no point

umbral seal
#

I've pulled so many tickets off of this last set except Wilnas Madge

#

Need his alt art.

umbral seal
#

I might play it next set if it's still decent.

mystic tartan
#

its funny cus it bricked with willnas kek

#

evo sword

umbral seal
#

Even evo sword should run 2 copies of Odin

#

Just like I don't agree with evo rune lists that don't.

#

(Some do)

cursive crypt
#

My list also doesn't run Odin, Shrugeg maybe I should cut sandalphon for it

#

Sandalphon does not feel that good in Evo sword

#

The crest u get from invoke is the only reason I run one

umbral seal
blissful olive
#

someone made an oppsie

umbral seal
#

Probably meant to play belial instead

#

But considering you have double lyria in hand, drawing beel is likely and at that point, it's gg

blissful olive
#

yeah it was super over

#

im trying rune now wanna see how it feels to be a cag main

#

the rune exp nobody wants to play u lmao

#

oh this is fun i really like how dirt plays now

#

haven is very cancer tho i havent lost playing as haven vs rune yet either

umbral seal
#

Rune needs Raio to win that. Also needs to bait torrent of despair before playing lilanthim

#

Haven does eventually run out of board clears and Raio allows you to do shit like playing lilanthim + other bodies

blissful olive
#

playing another rn

#

im just ignoring shit and hitting face atp

#

once the wall is built its basically over

umbral seal
#

Uh, not really. Aether boards are easier to clear if you have a board yourself. And even with Grimnir down, Aether cannot clear a Norman board, for example.

blissful olive
#

got lucky ig

umbral seal
#

Also, most haven players moved away from Aether at this point. They're all crest now.

blissful olive
#

id say aether galleon is quite good

umbral seal
#

Aether was popping for like, the first 3 days. Because I saw a lot while climbing to Beyond

umbral seal
#

Unless you think people are allergic to playing good decks

#

The decks that everyone universally agrees are top 2 at this point, are loot sword & puppet portal. Aether is garbage against both.

blissful olive
#

i have been enjoying puppet

#

eggs is fun too but i wouldnt say there nuts

#

abyss tho not so much it just feels the same for the most part

#

maybe i need a new billy list ? but its not been that enjoyable

umbral seal
#

The best abyss deck is mode right now. All over the ladder.

blissful olive
#

it is but its not that fun for me to play mode

#

i prefer fun over just winning

umbral seal
#

Some play belial. Some still use Rulenye. Evo abyss isn't bad but you have to play it like a midrange deck most of the time. The belial win con is a bit too slow.

blissful olive
#

i am playing against a very confused person

#

lowkey wild 2 me were 3 sets in

#

and no new leaders being sold on shop

umbral seal
#

Because they moved away from that payment model. All the leaders we got in this set outside of Beel & Belial would have been shop leaders, because they're lower in quality compared to the normal ticket leaders. They don't have unique evo animations and they don't have backgrounds.

#

Shop leaders are never coming back.

blissful olive
#

money lost on their end

#

think of all the random shit they have in sv1 they could port over

umbral seal
#

Incorrect. More money made for people who want them because you either have to get lucky or spend a considerable amount to get them.

#

Again, I do not know why you think companies do things to lose money. If they thought shop leaders would make them more money, do you actually think they'd move away from that?

#

They literally have the data.

blissful olive
#

how would they lose money

#

they arnt losing anything if they took X leader from 1 and put it in 2

umbral seal
#

They believe they can make considerably more money by forcing people to spend for a low probability of getting what they want, unless they spend enough for the guaranteed choice at 350 pulls.

#

Compared to having a static price that's more accessible to low spenders.

blissful olive
#

sure but if u have both

umbral seal
#

You may not like this monetization. I don't, but that is why they're doing it.

blissful olive
#

thats more money

umbral seal
#

I'm not sure if that would be more money compared to simply having everything as a ticket that, again, will force players to spend money if there's something they really want.

blissful olive
#

u have ticket chars that are more animated and all that jazz then the lower end

#

theres no downside

#

like if u took the leaders from the gbf collab last time threw em all in the shop they are making money

#

even if they has no special anything people hella buying that shit

umbral seal
#

Or, force people to make the choice between not getting what they want or spending hundreds of dollars (magnitudes more than what a potential shop price would be) to get it.

#

My perspective is that all leaders should be purchasable but your argument that they'd make more money by having them in the shop is comical to me.

red plover
#

clearly what they are doing right now is working already and those are just mobile sales

umbral seal
#

They wouldn't and again, if data showed they would, they would be rushing to do that.

blissful olive
#

my argument is theres 0 downside to having both

blissful olive
#

and there is 0 downside

umbral seal
#

They do not care to cater to lower spenders.

blissful olive
#

i know some games have it excluded

red plover
#

it doesnt

umbral seal
#

I've made this argument from the beginning but somehow, you're still hoping for Cygames to "see the light" or something.

blissful olive
#

figured yeah

#

no not at all

#

there no downside period

#

like the way u thinking this works is low spenders are gonna say fuck it and spend like 500 dollars

#

they arnt they spend nothing

umbral seal
#

That's my point

blissful olive
#

having both gets lower spenders to say aight i can buy this etc

umbral seal
#

And if they thought catering to lower spenders would be more profitable in the long term, they would do that

blissful olive
#

sure they dont have to do anything

#

but they would make more money

#

u cant even argue this u just agreed with me lmao

#

no take backs lmao

umbral seal
#

Your argument is based off of what you would personally want, not based on any sort of data, tbh. In fact, the data we do have is SV1, which Cygames stated wasn't as profitable as they'd like and, to my knowledge, they did not have a ticket system. I believe all their leaders were purchasable.

blissful olive
#

you said low spenders locked out = not a money source and that dolphins and whales carry so not having low spenders = money lost by not giving them a venue

#

outside of battle pass i guess? if people even value that

umbral seal
blissful olive
#

maybe cygames just doesnt understand actually

#

cause u said they only had purchasable leaders in 1

#

probably never even considered the fact that u can do both

umbral seal
#

I do not know what they did after I quit after set 7 but they only had purchasable leaders from when I played.

blissful olive
#

sv1 tho tbh like

#

it wasnt great visually not even close to worlds

#

so i wouldnt be buying that shit anyways

umbral seal
#

I bought leaders, but leaders were purchasable with rupies.

#

I specifically remember buying Vania for like 500 or 1k rupies, since I didn't like Urias.

#

Easy choice.

blissful olive
#

oh yeah

umbral seal
#

Even if SV1 leaders cost crystals, I'd still make that choice, depending on who the leader was.

blissful olive
#

thats probably it

#

they didnt make much money off shop leaders in 1 so scrapped the whole idea

Personally, I think a system where they have tickets and shop leaders would be best on my wallet but Cygames believes having everything as a ticket is the best choice for profits. And they're very profitable right now.

#

No evidence to suggest that the option where they do both would net them more money if dolphins & whales are negating the loss of low spenders.

maybe sinciro 7 cost instead of 6

Cygames never used to care about giving vials if it means fixing broken shit.

Shit makes no sense.

mystic tartan
umbral seal
#

He should be a 5/5. I'm fine with him costing 6. Remnant should cost 2, though.

#

Also, Congregant should probably cost 5.

#

Why does an aggro deck have one of the best removal units in the game?

Also makes no sense.

mystic tartan

we'll see

loot usually lose

evo sword cant really deal with a board before turn 6

and that is only if you have gildaria

lost like 3 games because the game keeps disconnecting and skipping my turns or auto surrendering

and the timer keeps ticking so it just skips my turns

rodeo the only saving grace for haven this set LULE

umbral seal

Well, the new 3 pp amulet is what's really enabling the triple rodeo list

#

Even with a good hand, I haven't beaten that deck a single time with storm ramp

red plover
#

yea dragon is not a problem but against any of the high tier decks its really tough

umbral seal
#

The otk dragon deck can beat it but it has worse match ups against everything else

mystic tartan
#

Either way its rare to meet haven

#

Mostly portal

umbral seal
#

Which is why I'm complaining about it

#

Lack of Ward Haven also means roach came back

As usual

mystic tartan
#

God i hate Haven

#

Also they adding that 2pp 4 heal Amulet too

#

Heal heal heal

cursive crypt
#

it just doesnt have favored matchups

#

just an ok deck

#

u win vs earth rune i guess thats it

umbral seal
#

Actually just talking out of your ass here.

cursive crypt
#

grimnir marwyn and congregant on curve is always hard to beat

umbral seal
#

This is the only match-up that feels like an auto-loss.

#

I'd rather face every other tier 1 deck.

#

Even when I tried to counter queue it with OTK Dragon, I ended up dying to Marwynn's burn. That may have been a bad draw but OTK Dragon has a worse match-up spread against everything else.

#

Not worth trying to counter one deck.

So fucking close to 4-0 with Wamdus Rune.

Only lost to puppets.

only zeta bea

That's incorrect if you ask me

i mean hes playing in beyond bro

so he must know his shit kek

he did try with albert

but stuck

umbral seal
#

Every fella in beyond doesn't have an optimal deck list. People have hit beyond with evo dragon but most people still tell you it's hot garbage.

#

Zeta & Bea gives you more early game but cutting 12 damage reach is wrong to me

mystic tartan
#

his wincon is always late game cus he bring siete too

#

thats why mode abyss fuck his comp hard

#

or Dragon if he cant kill Wilnas

umbral seal
#

It's also why I run Odin

#

But most decks aren't going to out-late game mode abyss. Or fennie dragon.

#

i wonder if people gonna think rose queen is good after this lol

mystic tartan
#

honestly she could be good now cus u can safe 2pp shit too

umbral seal

The bramble threshold being increased to 2 also means it's way more likely to otk anyone outside of dragon with Zooey active

A lot of forest players right now. Unsurprisingly.

mystic tartan
#

yep kek

umbral seal
#

Somehow, I giga ramped against an obvious rose queen deck and he nearly survived against two garyus on curve

#

Fortunately, Genesis Dragon

mystic tartan
umbral seal
#

At this point, I think Dragon needs a stronger super evo bomb. Garyu doesn't feel sufficient sometimes even if you play him on time.

#

Maybe I'm biased, though. There's been many times where the barrier dragon lives

#

But a full powered Sinciro full clears it. Only time it doesn't is if Sinciro is 3 dmg or less.

mystic tartan
#

yeah ganryu is just beefy boi

#

and hope the opponent cant clear

umbral seal
#

At this point, I want Discard Dragon back. Although when that was meta, it was basically Sinciro with less set up, i.e. nuking opponent's face and board

mystic tartan
#

lol i filene spell the rose queen

#

+1 cost bitch kek

Dragon has several outs to Rose Queen tbh

Speaking of Filene, I'm about to animate my copies

pag

meet another rose queen

same shit i just filene

umbral seal

I think people will give up after a week, or they'll be stuck below ultimate. The deck does have decent match ups in this meta, notably mode abyss and evo rune.

mystic tartan
#

yeah just trying it

umbral seal
#

Puppet portal is a bit of a toss up imo and loot sword shouldn't be winnable for rq

mystic tartan

yeah its too slow

this stupid ass fucking game

i have the cards to counter these dumb players but the game keeps lagging me out and not letting me play holy

just lost because the game forced me to skip 99% of my timer twice

umbral seal
#

Yeah, I can't imagine running evo sword without Odin or Albert. You win so much faster on average, while still having seofon + magus as a back-up.

#

Tried Zeta & Bea. Had to cut because too many 4s. Technically could cut Zirconia for her but Zirc also can create board states where the opponent just has to concede.

#

Also had to increase my Grimnir count to 3 because the deck sucks much more in the late game if you can't find him.

@mystic tartan I added Yurius back to evo sword. Literally hard counters lilanthim.

Just have to bait their last super evo

mystic tartan
#

yeah my goat already use him

umbral seal
#

And that bitch is permanently in jail

mystic tartan
#

can be clutch

#

when they dont have removal

umbral seal
#

Well, a lot of their removal is auto evolve.

#

If you super evo yurius, they need 10 non combat damage to remove him

#

That's not easy

#

Or evo velharia, I suppose

#

Assuming they still have evos

mystic tartan
#

yep only Odin really counter him without evo
with Dirt Evo running loose they dont play odin

umbral seal
#

I had to cut odins from my evo sword since it only really helps the dragon match up

mystic tartan
#

its actually insane how many people play Dirt Evo

umbral seal
#

Also cut albert down to 1. Felt like a brick too often

umbral seal
mystic tartan
#

yeah my goat said Sandal can be just like Albert when people ask why he didnt put albert

#

honestly Grim

#

is the most important usually

#

in evo sword

#

its so broken

#

with him

#

in mirror its hilarous which one can deploy grim

umbral seal
#

And yeah, evo sword has a much harder time clearing without grimnir active

#

I still only run 2 copies, though

#

3 is too bricky

mystic tartan
#

yeah he run 2 copies too

#

Sandal is really broken in Dirt Evo

#

its insane kek

#

especially with raio activated

#

holy

umbral seal
#

Tbh, getting Sandy to hit face is most reliable in evo dragon

#

But evo dragon isn't that good

mystic tartan
#

yeah im a no believer of evo dragon

umbral seal
#

It works sometimes but it's too slow, even against other control decks.

#

If you could reliably get the wise guardian dragons out before most crafts unlock their aoe, it'd be much better

mystic tartan
#

true i did that once and they cant clear

umbral seal
#

IMO, best to worst: storm ramp, fennie dragon, cocytus dragon, evo dragon.

#

I've played all 4 a decent amount.

#

All least the middle two can actually otk late game decks.

#

Storm Ramp is the only one that can actually race loot sword.

#

At this point, I think dragon's overflow should unlock super evos early but that might be too broken in the future.

mystic tartan
#

storm is the most fun for me so im just going to play that

red plover

I wish I could play take 2 till the next set but Im already running out of rubies LULE

transform all 2pp or lower cards

gritty anvil
#

oh

#

well that still doesnt really help

mystic tartan
umbral seal
#

Hops can't read. sheeesh The buff is huge but RQ's problem isn't the card itself

#

It's that forest in general struggles to survive to that point

#

Which is why they play roach, which can otk faster

gritty anvil
#

if she was 1 mana cheaper

mystic tartan
#

yeah even Dayan back to Roach with RQ

mystic tartan
#

ngl especially if u coin

umbral seal
gritty anvil
#

they should remove that double atk and make her 8 cost and that new brambles text LULE

umbral seal
#

Temple of Repose doesn't save if they have 24

#

That's why RQ will never be 8 pp

gritty anvil
#

how is forest in mta now ?

#

meta

#

bad ?

umbral seal
#

It's not meta. Roach is still the best Forest deck.

#

More people are experimenting with RQ but it's tier 3 at best

mystic tartan
#

i mean Roach is still decent

#

but no one plays Forest

#

now

gritty anvil
#

roach is still inconsistent no ?

umbral seal
#

Roach is solidly tier 2, primarily because of its tournament performance

umbral seal
#

Roach just gets mowed down by aggro and ward haven

#

It beats almost every other deck.

gritty anvil
#

well i dont really know what new cards roach forest got

umbral seal
#

In this set, nothing.

#

A deck doesn't need to constantly be updated to maintain its power level

mystic tartan
#

forest new lego is just bad cus ur forced to use sevo kek

umbral seal
#

No, that legendary is good. It's that evo forest overall is not that good. Even without super evo, she's a solid 5 pp removal unit

mystic tartan
#

oh shes 5pp

#

never knew kek

umbral seal
#

With super evo, she provides free evos over 4 turns

mystic tartan
#

well its ok then

umbral seal
#

Which will super charge sandalphon and cupitan

#

Evo Forest is a bit better now but is also just tier 3 imo

mystic tartan
#

i do lose once against evo forest combo

#

titania crest into that storm fairy crest into that legendary

umbral seal
#

Cupitan's free evo not being gated behind ssba helps the consistency of the deck a lot

mystic tartan
#

but only once i match against that

#

cus forest almost extinct

umbral seal
#

Unfortunately, there still isn't a forest deck that appeals to me. Maybe next set if they bring back neutral forest.

Even if dragon was t1, that will always be a hard match up. Because it always was in sv1.

i just want to climb

umbral seal

Not sure if I'd say loot counters mode. If they're running the bat/fediel package, they can actually outheal your damage.

I personally prefer evo abyss & puppets since neither of those decks really care about enemy healing.

Destruction portal as well but I hate playinig that.
