Actually, and this might sound funny, some players give up on their last turn while still buffing their Sapphire with artifacts, just like they used to give up with Disheft. And during the Sapphire animation, you need to manage to make a strike before the concede animation starts, so you can finish the battle yourself. However, this particular Arisa fought to the very end like a lion, unlike the other toxic Arisas who abuse their Brambles for 20 turns, heal through their Queen and three Aerinoks, and then still quit through the timer window.

Before I installed the Japanese voice acting, I often played like this – muted on my phone, with music from my computer. But now that I've changed it, I need to listen to the voices. I've also turned off the game's music for a long time, just like in Heroes of Might and Magic – I prefer to play with voices and my own music.
I don't particularly like Dashka's voice in either English or Japanese, but it doesn't annoy me either. However, the Japanese golems are very amusing. In this video, the sounds of the golem would also be a good replacement for Jaraksus.

Actually, as funny as it is, some people concede on their last turn while still buffing their sapphire with artifacts, just like they used to concede against Disifth.

A small Heroes of Might and Magic off-topic, it reminded me. I'm playing a quest mage against a control lock, I have 1 girl, a simulacrum, 2 lava copies, Anton, and 1 non-native secret + a native petroglyph, and my quest is 5 out of 6. If I don't complete the quest now, I'll lose.
I play the simulacrum - girl - girl - copy - copy - secret completely without thinking, and only at the end do I realize that all of this cost me 10 mana, and the quest costs 1 and I can't play it. At that moment, my opponent concedes. I sit there in a daze for a while, then I laugh

I appreciated the effort and rewarded him with the victory; he probably builds mage decks himself. I had something similar happen to me in the first week. We were battling on dragons, and I was kind of leading, even managing to set up my own mill deck, but I was just a bit short of having a flying creature. Then he healed up to 20, and I started losing card advantage. When he already had a flying creature on the board, I took turns playing and attacking with Dreadquinn, Zeus, and Dehak on 18, and only then did I realize that it wasn't a one-shot. But he had already started conceding after the Dreadquinn, so I got lucky.

How do you beat the Dungeon faction with this deck?

It’s a pity that one victory wasn't enough to achieve a 100% win rate.

- Tasketeee! <= Arisa, Isabel, Roven, Luna

How do you beat the Shadow with this deck?

- like this
- and like this
- and even like this (although, may the darkaliso user rest in peace by default, it's good that he didn't even waste our General time)

- I'm just laughing at the dragons, I eat them alive without even using the full evolution, sometimes right on the tenth turn, and in half of the cases even earlier. In general, I've only died from them two or three times after the Bahamut nerf, once from a full combo of 20 HP with Dread Queen through the Mill, and once simply from consecutive Izra-Bahamut through the Mill. Otherwise, they are absolute victims.

- I beat the cancerous rune with three Sapphires on the board! Is this an achievement? Because this is the first time for me.

- the elephant, out of desperation, trades for a follower; I'm observing this anecdote for the first time!

- I can win without Sapphires and without the Deus effect, I really don't care! There was a funny situation here, Hamelin with Icarus and Fervent are chasing, out of all my shadows, about ten are ancient artifacts. At first, I didn't want to put Deus, then I couldn't, so as not to discard the Sapphire, and then I decided to win without them because I can. And this is not even a single case anymore!

Loken, you’re awesome.

You give me Haven units, but you do it without respect – you still haven't given me a single Aegis. Don't do that.

Thank you! This is my longest winning streak on the portal, and in Master mode overall, so I'm very pleased. Especially after yesterday's success.

You give me Haven faction cards, but you do it without respect – you still haven't given me a single Aegis. Don't do that.

Well, it's better to get different Jeanne cards than Aegis cards. And you can craft the missing cards anyway, but you can't put an Aegis on your avatar because it's not interesting.

I haven't changed my avatar since I got that Grandblue Cerberus. And I don't plan on changing it anytime soon. As for crafting Aegis, I'm not sure; I have a long wishlist of legendaries, and Aegis is quite expensive right now.

Phew. I guess I wasn't wrong.

By the way, I also don't find Shadow to be such a difficult opponent when playing Portal (as I mentioned before). It's more interesting to figure out how to win with Dashek against him (although there are screenshots of Lokken doing it too).
Mentioning Shadow reminded me of another card where the Japanese voice acting is inferior to the English one: the gold Shadowcrafter girl who revives Zeus. Her English voice line is simply a 10 out of 10.

Appreciated the effort and gave him the win; he probably mains mage himself.

Maybe, but it seemed to me that he genuinely thought I was trying to kill him (and I thought so too at first, lol). Firstly, it was on a fairly low rank, and secondly, quest mage only started to become viable after the nerf; before that, only a few enthusiasts played it, and it's unlikely that everyone remembers how much a ready-to-go quest costs, for example.

No nerfs. Reddit is on fire; an hour before the actual announcement, news about nerfs to Owl, Sahir, and Acceleratum appeared. That post was quickly deleted. Well, I logged into T2 to take a break from the intense ranked grind and tried playing Forest. It turned out to be very interesting! The deck is similar to the one Vishmaster posted recently. Siebel is overpowered in the arena if used correctly. So, what do you do in this situation? The opponent played a 1-damage Magnus and conceded. The opponent thought for a long time and built a cool (not) defense, deciding not to notice that they were still going to lose due to deck-out. Moreover, this happened at the end of their turn because they had played Chronos earlier. Interestingly, they could have actually won despite being unable to clear the board if I hadn't killed Fita with Roland in time. The final score is 4-1; I lost the first match against a Portal deck with Deus and endless artifacts. Too bad, I almost finished them off; the opponent had 3 HP left, so it could have been 5-0. Yes, I was seriously thinking of winning with Anomaly + Butler on 9 mana, and I even won the last match that way.

I remembered how yesterday, during the daily challenges, I suffered a terrible loss streak playing as Dashka. And then I won the very next match playing with the portal.
I'm also happy with the good state of the aggro forest deck; I was saying even before the update that the driver of fate has potential, and voilà, it's x3 in any deck, and half of my lethal combos come from it.
+ even with just one Zeus and two bahi-chichis, my crippled and under-tuned valet dragon puts half of the opponents in their place.
I really need to craft Aegis, but I don't have a rotational deck for Haven, so I do all the daily challenges for it in unlimited mode.

By the way, what are you all playing right now? I mainly play the rotation, but depending on my mood, I can also play unlimited, where there's the cockroach, Disith, Neftitka, and other joys of life (they're called Azazel and Lucifer, haha).
