I'm not. You said earlier it's a meme and it is not.
i dont believe him
I explained why he can, situationally, be better or worse than undead soldier
yeah undead soldier is more annoying
ngl zooey has done the least for me in this deck
vaseraga is just not it for me
bro zooey is cinema
she can be clutch
Mandatory. It's ramp.
That's not a cuttable option.
if i could ever draw her sure
i usually draw
and when i do its past the point of being useful her turn 10 shit doesnt do fuck all
but yeah in rare occasion i dont have a single ramp
this is so wrong
Ferocious Flame is cuttable. It's a good card but not mandatory.
yeah really
how come every time i draw it
ill give u an example
ginsex is on the field
shes clutch sometimes
i mean
mode abyss is just
good against dragon if they can get to sham
It depends on how much work you did prior to reaching her enhance. Unless you have multiple zooey's and the opponent doesn't have a ward wall, she can help you win the game
But she is very useful whether she's ramping or stalling
the only way shes good stalling is if they dont have a wall of wards
its 50/50 against mode abyss either u kill them first
or u cuck billy by chance
or they just control the fuck out of u
This is really only a Haven issue. Situationally, Rune
But most classes can't build a wall
abyss as well
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)
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
A lot of smaller wards can be cleared simply by saving fangs from galm
dragon
look at this
Personally, I wouldn't run Twilight Dragon, I run Azurifrit instead for more face damage. Personal preference, though.
i guess i can drop lyra
1 lyra is enough for me
well i pray sometimes
cus she can search all the good shit

ganryu,odin,wilnas,genesis,azurifirt
Uh, no, she doesn't. She searches for any card that's 7 pp or above. That includes Wilnas but it can often be other high cost cards
she can pull genesis too
You are also running 1 shark. Anyway, I'll show you my list.
He's not running genesis (a mistake imo)
im not running genesis atp
bro
with all the ward decks
just use 1 of him
yeahh.... lol
I honestly don't know what rating people play at to be running into so many ward decks, because I barely see them nowadays.
sometimes all u do need is him to end the game
Anyway, this is my list and I have not changed it since hitting beyond.
also sevo him is 12 damage to face
Redundancy is not a downside in a storm deck. Already had to explain this to someone else on reddit.
Good luck beating evo rune & evo abyss without genesis. It's not impossible but those 2 decks are exactly why I included 2 near the end of my grind.
The extra firepower is necessary.
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
I used to. I tend to include the shark if I run into too many havens
Since I don't, I cut it
Nope, hybrid crest/ward Haven is still good. Calling it ass is not consistent with where the beyond leaderboards are at right now.
Pure ward haven is not good, but it's played by people who want to see others suffer
loot was always broken
Loot is tier 1. We know that. Loot being busted doesn't mean Haven is ass.
This is not a logical train of thought.
id play loot myself but its just boring
i overdosed on Loot
last set
I agree Haven isn't that hard since they give you time to ramp
There are harder match ups for dragon
yeah u can just ramp
loot feels like old artifact
they get everything for free and dont need to spend resources
tablet is so good on loot makes that deck a gigabroken one
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
well that one amulet only
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.
oh brother
either way im just going to play Dragon
yeah sometimes they die
u can
if they afk sure 
its an ok matchup
ima just go face no sense trading here
Dragon vs Rune is a very fair match up.
Of course, if you simply ignore their board, you're going to lose. The deck doesn't work that way.
well ur not out trading them
and ur not winning once that other hoe is out with a billion ER
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
some would lie to me and say this is winnable even
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.
Show the full replay.
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.
What was the board state before caglio and edel dropped?
Norman?
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
there was only 1 card on the board so im not full sending galm there
??? 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
yeah after i hit it with zooey
Since you can't post a replay, I would need to see the board state prior
You're talking about Mireille & Risette?
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
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.
im aware but ti didnt matter
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.
with a shitty hand like that jesus wasnt gonna win lol
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
i just know when a game is over
You should always be asking yourself "what are my outs" instead of looking for a reason to quit at the first sign of trouble
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
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
i kinda do
shit is kind of bad
mostly the game lacks depth for me compared to other card games
Playing a game you dislike. Must not value your time that much then.
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
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
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
52 damage lul
when brick meets wall

Very weird sword list. Grimnir and DJ? I'm not even convinced this is a proper loot sword deck
yea, I was pretty confused as well
A standard list and drawing either octrice or tablet would've very easily killed you
I was considering to quit after I was drawing no crests the whole time but he just couldnt kill me 
the fuck
Been ping ponging back and forth from Epic & Ultimate 
Sometimes I just get highrollers
dragon is so chill to play
man im streaking bad using dragon
grinding while watching worlds
Now? It's always been tier 2 minimum.
Nope.
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.
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
Destruction isn't tier 1 specifically because it's less consistent than puppets. Otherwise, I agree with the placements.
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.
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
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
what are these dogshit servers tournament won't stop having disconnect errors
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
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.
wired assault is great just because it keeps the game from ever matching into dragon again 
That's not how that works 
i had it in the deck for every match in the history and the only other two dragons were lobby matches doing dailies 
Dragon is a chill class
I can just ramp and throw shit into their faces
No thinking required
And my games are faster
"No thinking required", lol, sure
Lmaoo
waytoodank
ULTIMATO

whats ur list?
maybe evo dragon isnt that bad 
this deck is actually fun and doesnt auto lose to loot 
Yeay it can counter loot and puppet
i laughed
What a cry baby
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
yeah bro is just confused
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
yeah Drain moment
im also lucky cus he didnt play a single 3pp heal
imagine if he has it



No problem.
I mean, yeah, but when you ramp, opponents need to high roll to not get run over.
I'm just on a rant cus i match 2 sword while bricked

im gonna jump
Seen worse hands. You have a 3 if you skip your 2. Top decks also likely to not be high end.
i won somehow by pure luck drawing
Feel like running a match?
i dont run sets in card games its really not my thing
Only asking for a single match.
Because of the weekly reset
But if you don't want to, I'll leave you to it.
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
I'll be in my guild lounge
I thought people could join other guild lounges
One sec.
im offended you dont use horse girl
Evo dragon overall is not that great but free super evos always have potential
i kinda wanna run tempo forest but i know its terrible
So, tempo forest has draw now with Gran & Djeeta. The problem is closing out games.
when i used to run it roach would usually end it
cuz even in aggro roach is still silly
did you buy zeta too
Evo Sword basically feels like a control deck when I play against it.
I might play it next set if it's still decent.
Even evo sword should run 2 copies of Odin
Just like I don't agree with evo rune lists that don't.
(Some do)
It's more like midrange tbh, the only card in the control archetype is the 7pp gold card
My list also doesn't run Odin,
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
It's definitely slower than classic midrange from set 1 and 2, which is why I call it control. The only reason it doesn't look more like a Haven control deck is they don't have the tools, like Roland.
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
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
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
playing another rn
im just ignoring shit and hitting face atp
once the wall is built its basically over
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.
Also, most haven players moved away from Aether at this point. They're all crest now.
id say aether galleon is quite good
Aether was popping for like, the first 3 days. Because I saw a lot while climbing to Beyond
It's okay. There's a reason why most haven players moved away from it
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.
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
The best abyss deck is mode right now. All over the ladder.
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.
i am playing against a very confused person
lowkey wild 2 me were 3 sets in
and no new leaders being sold on shop
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.
money lost on their end
think of all the random shit they have in sv1 they could port over
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.
how would they lose money
they arnt losing anything if they took X leader from 1 and put it in 2
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.
sure but if u have both
You may not like this monetization. I don't, but that is why they're doing it.
thats more money
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.
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
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.
clearly what they are doing right now is working already and those are just mobile sales
They wouldn't and again, if data showed they would, they would be rushing to do that.
my argument is theres 0 downside to having both
Thank you.
and there is 0 downside
The "downside" is not maximizing profits like a greedy company.
They do not care to cater to lower spenders.
does that include web store?
i know some games have it excluded
it doesnt
I've made this argument from the beginning but somehow, you're still hoping for Cygames to "see the light" or something.
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
No, they will just get locked out. The calculation Cygames is making is that the dolphins/whales will make up for the difference in the lower spenders that they're losing.
That's my point
having both gets lower spenders to say aight i can buy this etc
And if they thought catering to lower spenders would be more profitable in the long term, they would do that
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
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.
On?
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
Not a "net loss", but sure, it's a loss in a vacuum.
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
I do not know what they did after I quit after set 7 but they only had purchasable leaders from when I played.
sv1 tho tbh like
it wasnt great visually not even close to worlds
so i wouldnt be buying that shit anyways
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.
oh yeah
Even if SV1 leaders cost crystals, I'd still make that choice, depending on who the leader was.
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.
lucky for them japan loves this game
Well, if you want a weeb card game, it's really the only option
(Pokemon & Yugioh are technically weeb but that's a different conversation)
well Id say weeb hearthstone since new yu gi oh is very weeb
I stopped paying attention to Yugioh after link summons so I can't honestly say what they got going on now
ygo is just fucking awful to play in modern era
fucking 5 minute turns set up 235825 omni negates
shit is a 1 player game and each turn takes 2-5 mins
i really liked LoR but that game is dead
riot has a new game out but physical only atm
https://streamable.com/dc6ps0
eggtifact
killed him from 15 too with suboptimal board
Honestly egg artifact sounds better than the puppet egg hybrid
Since artifact doesn't really need as much board space
U got a bunch of eggs tho 
Ralmia still needs board space unless these lists are cutting her now
I didn't watch till the end but why run artifact recharge instead of the new 2 drop that gives striker artifact
For hybrid I would assume you just play for betas and eggs
With beelzebub
So u prob run only karula
In an ideal world, you'd only ever play betas but artifact cannot just ignore the opposing board
i had both just in case you get enough to make a gundam
Yeah but a lot of the new cards give you a free 3 cost artifact as last word
And that new gold card that clears voard
U don't need to make the gamma anymore i assume
Unless u really need to
But u don't run ralmia right?
As I thought
I would try playing it but I can't be fucked dropping cr 
is the game fucked for you guys too i can't even navigate the menus without disconnects
idk
pretty much done with the gm grind
my job here is done 
Not even GM3 
I had to swap to Jerry Dragon because Haven started resurging again
Havenge
they'd have to pay me a salary to grind gm3
It ain't even that hard, especially if you're playing a t1 deck.
My personal variation of a deck I saw on reddit. Works pretty well.
it's not about being hard it's about me rather do other things than no life the game for hours 
I'd say GM3 in a month is pretty achievable without no-lifing the game 
honestly i want to be low elo cus its more easier to climb
no wonder cygames banned account that purposely low elo

Int'ing to be low elo isn't bannable. Win trading is.
kek
We know. Most likely candidate for nerfs.
idk what they gonna nerf
maybe sinciro 7 cost instead of 6
but they need to pay vials

Cygames never used to care about giving vials if it means fixing broken shit.
Firstly, he shouldn't be a 5/6. Why can my garyu not cleanly trade into a 6 cost follower?
Shit makes no sense.

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.
we'll see
Followers are easier to remove than amulets. Odin existing doesn't change that. That's why ancient cannon's effect is weaker
Congregant should still cost 5, though.
Agree basically
Congrats bro
loot sword?
Haven is kinda poo poo tho so I don't mind
I won gp with puppets
2nd best deck basically
I can't climb above ultimate with evo sword
this shit is a bit ass
idk you would have to draw perfectly into aggro deck like loot and puppet 
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 best part is the game being dead as fuck so there's no trace of other people having the same issue
and the timer keeps ticking so it just skips my turns
or loot brick
no tablet like me

The amulet/crest variant that's been running around is very obnoxious to deal with. I'd say it's tier 2. I'd rather face crest/ward since I can just nuke their boards
rodeo the only saving grace for haven this set 
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
yea dragon is not a problem but against any of the high tier decks its really tough
The otk dragon deck can beat it but it has worse match ups against everything else
Was. Not in the last few days.
Which is why I'm complaining about it
Lack of Ward Haven also means roach came back
As usual
i wouldnt say tier 2 tbh, but its the best haven deck around
it just doesnt have favored matchups
just an ok deck
u win vs earth rune i guess thats it
Objectively wrong. Otherwise, I'd at least have won one match with storm ramp.
Actually just talking out of your ass here.
u dont see haven that often nowadays, so maybe u all the ones u played vs highrolled u 
grimnir marwyn and congregant on curve is always hard to beat
Uh, no. They weren't high rolls at all. I've seen a lot of these decks in the past few days, despite seeing that haven overall has been falling off a cliff after the first week.
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.
4th dc of the day literally impossible to play this trash 
-100 cr on matches i can't even play 
An issue with your ISP? I don't think it's a server issue.
it's working perfectly on everything so it's def just the game
every match dcs me and 90% of time doesn't let me connect back
startet after they did that 1gb update
My game is working just fine 
Man, evo sword is fun as fuck.
yeah its fun
Had to stop keeping Seofon in my mulligan. Ended up being too bricky.
hoping for any worthwhile balance announcements tomorrow
Don't get your hopes up.
I have no expectations but Im still curious what they are gonna do 
@cursive crypt @mystic tartan One of you, doesn't matter which, mind making another recruitment post on reddit?
I just want to play 
You say that as if I don't play more than you while doing other things as well.

i hate haven
Massive rose queen buffs, honestly
If I can ever get to pity on Infinity Evolved, I'll play Rose Queen next month
One thing that some fellas seem to be ignoring is that you can just run the evo package with Rose Queen now.
Probably 2 copies, imo.
giga rare tikoh plays 
i finally made a mode deck it's so funny how broken this is
yeah bro ur against sevo sword

mode crush sevo sword
That's honestly not a bad match up
my goat played against mode and despair when they deploy Belial

ginsetsu is strong af
Unless he's not playing Albert at all, you can kill them before they out late game you
That's incorrect if you ask me
i mean hes playing in beyond bro
so he must know his shit 
he did try with albert
but stuck
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
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
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
honestly she could be good now cus u can safe 2pp shit too
She is. She's quite comparable to beel now, except rose queen will require an evo to kill two targets
The bramble threshold being increased to 2 also means it's way more likely to otk anyone outside of dragon with Zooey active
sword players all make the same mistake of fighting mode and then dropping golden knight at nothing instead of saving her to counter the ginsetsus
I have no idea what cr you play at to see this
Even if they're dropping tempo knight to charge seofon/sandy, I'm pretty sure that's still egregiously incorrect
dirt rune with Raio is strong man
I made that one too because i made normal evo rune and instantly lost a mirror to someone with raio 
So i made the one with one raio and one velharia

bruh my streamer only match against rune dirt 
Far too late for me to attempt rank 1. A shame since I fine tuned my deck to account for evo swords.
I'll try again next month.
me when god gives me the tools to make haven players mad
Same with portal mirrors. Beel first is gg.
A lot of forest players right now. Unsurprisingly.
yep 
Somehow, I giga ramped against an obvious rose queen deck and he nearly survived against two garyus on curve
Fortunately, Genesis Dragon

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.
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
Dragon has several outs to Rose Queen tbh
Speaking of Filene, I'm about to animate my copies
30+ cards animated so far
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.
yeah just trying it
Puppet portal is a bit of a toss up imo and loot sword shouldn't be winnable for rq
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
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.
paid shuffler
kinda good imo
It's a very good hand. Nevia always bitchin'. 
That many penelopes means you're basically never running out of sigils
i really hate playing against haven
im Dragon main now
rarely play sword cus bored
only tournament cus Dragon kinda incosistent
I have 4 different dragon decks and Storm Ramp is the most reliable of them.
Don't know what you consider "cool", but imo, yes.
@mystic tartan I added Yurius back to evo sword. Literally hard counters lilanthim.
Just have to bait their last super evo
yeah my goat already use him
And that bitch is permanently in jail
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
yep only Odin really counter him without evo
with Dirt Evo running loose they dont play odin
I had to cut odins from my evo sword since it only really helps the dragon match up
its actually insane how many people play Dirt Evo
Also cut albert down to 1. Felt like a brick too often
It's very consistent at grinding out other decks
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

I run 1 of each at this point. Also, that's not really true. It's actually much harder to make all 10 hits of sandy go face.
And yeah, evo sword has a much harder time clearing without grimnir active
I still only run 2 copies, though
3 is too bricky
yeah he run 2 copies too
Sandal is really broken in Dirt Evo
its insane 
especially with raio activated
holy

Tbh, getting Sandy to hit face is most reliable in evo dragon
But evo dragon isn't that good
yeah im a no believer of evo dragon
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
true i did that once and they cant clear
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.
storm is the most fun for me so im just going to play that
I wish I could play take 2 till the next set but Im already running out of rubies 
wtf is that dumb buff to rose queen lmao
that doesnt even matter she can attack 2 times at all
it is strong
she only got 2 attacks nothing else no ?

Hops can't read.
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
if she was 1 mana cheaper
yeah even Dayan back to Roach with RQ
that would be broken 
ngl especially if u coin
Never going to happen because RQ's OTK bypasses ward completely. If they have the full 21-24 damage, the only thing that's saving you is filene or zooey
they should remove that double atk and make her 8 cost and that new brambles text 
It's not meta. Roach is still the best Forest deck.
More people are experimenting with RQ but it's tier 3 at best
roach is still inconsistent no ?
Roach is solidly tier 2, primarily because of its tournament performance
Roach has never been inconsistent
Roach just gets mowed down by aggro and ward haven
It beats almost every other deck.
well i dont really know what new cards roach forest got
In this set, nothing.
A deck doesn't need to constantly be updated to maintain its power level
forest new lego is just bad cus ur forced to use sevo 
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
With super evo, she provides free evos over 4 turns
well its ok then
Which will super charge sandalphon and cupitan
Evo Forest is a bit better now but is also just tier 3 imo
i do lose once against evo forest combo
titania crest into that storm fairy crest into that legendary
Cupitan's free evo not being gated behind ssba helps the consistency of the deck a lot
Unfortunately, there still isn't a forest deck that appeals to me. Maybe next set if they bring back neutral forest.
@mystic tartan I missed the last guild chest event due to burnout. How rewarding was it?
its very rewarding
this was mine u can even get 2 lego i think
the max is 2 pack 2 lego 1k rupies

Honestly, I don't even care about legendaries. I just want globes.
Need to finish animating my dragon deck.
okayeg
alright Grim is just a MUST in evo sword
Aight, got a few new fresh recruits. Hopefully s++ this time.
im doing my part
I know. In an ideal world, everyone would, at least, be gm0. 4k pts per member would do a lot of the heavy lifting.
Even if dragon was t1, that will always be a hard match up. Because it always was in sv1.
Unless you're playing a non ramp dragon deck.
Such as face dragon, evo dragon, discard dragon (sv1), buff dragon (sv1)
Damn if i have over 4k grp then it's super easy to get
Considering the game doesn't let me play and just kicks me out of every match
4k is extremely easy once you're master rank. The problem is some people don't even do that or others started late so they're not master yet.
Technically, we need 7k per member for S++ but our top 3 covers most of that difference.
I've swapped gears to evo abyss after finally cooking a list that works
I have nothing to grind for 
I dont care about getting any higher gm ranks and trying to get beyond as haven just sounds like torture. Nearly out of rubies for take 2 as well so theres nothing else 
You can play other things besides Haven. Unless you don't have the vials for it.
Personally, I just play the game because I enjoy it. Feels like people forget that's the purpose of games to begin with.
No need to force yourself to play if you don't find it fun, or the meta to be fun.
well yea, thats why I dont grind and just play the mode I enjoy instead which is take 2 
if it didnt cost anything it would be the only mode Id play
In SV1, they used to give take 2 tickets as part of the daily log in.
One ticket every 15 days
and now you only get them every set 
Now, they're too stingy to do even this much
Do they even give them for free every set
I only remember playing take 2 when it came out and had a free entry

no, its only if you ranked well I think 
I didn't get one for this set. I did get one last set.
I don't think anyone got a free ticket this set but I could be wrong.
@plain gull Do you still play this game? 
Is there an event?
Guild chest.
xdd
Not really, just log to do the daily pull 
Damn i got the lucky chest and a ticket on the same pack but the lucky chest was another elf lady i already got two tickets of her before so I'll keep rolling until the selector 
But the ticket was filene so i got the wallpaper 
I figured. Only asking because I noticed your grp was 0 but you're technically active. Just taking a break or kinda done with the game?
Kinda done i guess
Noted. Going to boot you to make room for active contributors but feel free to hit me up if you wish to return. 
Well, I would but I apparently cannot while the chest event is on-going. 
ok
does anyone wanna play at the guild for chest levels
Yeah but people still need 10 individual pts
Playing each other gives more

dragon guy almost beat me but he wasted his turn 3 ramping so he was in range for oguri cap 

man, getting 7 wins as haven in take 2 feels impossible ever since they removed basic cards 
ah yes another event
this event is fucking retarded
Sleeves are just a worse reward than alt arts but eh.
As long as there are still freebies like legendary card packs (it was in the last one), I'm content.
ok i guess
Ward Haven: very winnable. Crest Haven: nearly impossible.
Bro
Why I'm getting portal on my haven games
Pisses me off
Its all crest
I'm meeting kek

can i not meet a single mode abyss for fuck sake
If you're facing that many, I would just try to counter-queue, if I were you
Mode is almost as popular as loot and puppets
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.
if i cant kill i just surrend 
Hostage Forest player 
Man, playing loot is literally cheating. Playing it again after months.
Absolutely needs nerfs.

Next set when?
End of december.
Which reminds me: if anyone here has not enjoyed a singe meta yet, there probably won't be a meta you'll ever enjoy in a ccg.
Heirs of the Omen was terrible, in retrospect.
Pretty sure a lot of people quit with that one.
Lu Woh is a decent tech card. Shuts down Orchis in the mirror.
Final push, fellas.
2 down, 5 to go.
man bricked 3 times in arow

bruh 5 times now

alright i got a Dragon as my last opponent

I tried doing this but gave up
some crafts are so ass to play when u get the bad/no synergy cards
Gl tho
It'll be easier/harder for some crafts depending on the set. For example, Rune in take two is low key insane because of Mireille & Rosette, which is a silver card, they get 5 rerolls and building an earth rite deck is very easy
Rune is ok tbh cause they have 5 rerolls. And their bad cards are still playable at least
Portal u either get insane deck or complete garbage
Cause u will have like, 3 egg cards, some puppets and artifacts
Mine was worse. Although, I recently looked at my collection and saw that I only have 1 himeka
Not like crest runs more than 1 anyway
I want pulls 
I want pulls just to get the Wilnas alt art
Then I want Galm's alt art
I'd go for Filene but I'm not a fan of feet.
pog, rare premium pack
bricked i forgot part 2 of the chest event because i was busy 
Is there supposed to be an additional reward after round 3?

haven vs mode
i'm so glad i made this mode deck every time i look at someone's avatar and they look like a haven player i pick my mode deck 
i got tilted so hard
i lost to fucking roach as fucking ward
because i bricked so fucking hard dick
LOLW
Technically, roach can get through any ward not buffed my aether (aura)
we still have plenty of time for s++ right
