A cultural superhero.

A superhuman lacking culture.

Nice to meet you!

I'm just a simple guy, but with a deep appreciation for culture.

unless you're playing without sound, of course.

That's what I'm doing...

Has anyone noticed a change in the meta? Over the past few days of daily challenges, I saw one Spartan, and that was right before his concede; a few Dungeon creatures that were already present; and a couple of Sylvan axemen, who predictably turned out to be weak. The only one who won and got something worthwhile was a Dungeon hero with his slightly weaker, but more convenient, new creature.

Since the release of the expansion, I've only logged in to collect the rewards. I plan to actively play the game after the announcement of the new expansion, which should be announced in the coming days. I haven't received any new cards and I'm not sure if I want to craft a lot of new stuff, so I'll probably just play in unlimited mode until the new expansion comes out. Although, I'll see how I feel.

If the Necromancers get something actually decent and interesting for Arcus in the next add-on, I might even consider giving this craft another chance. Then the Cerberus will finally be useful.
And most likely it'll be another mandatory low pp lega — screenshot this.

I ran through the story with my worm-vengo-darkfisting hybrid and spent the whole hour yawning at what a complete moron Urias is. Just when it seemed that Isabelle's guild storyline was a step back compared to Arisa's: Urinium.

I don't know if there are any outs content consumers here who care about avoiding spoilers in the shadowverse, but if so, you can skip the next paragraph.

...Though, as I understand it, the devs didn't do this without a touch of irony — obviously, they did it specifically for the lulz, making him boring and ensuring every opponent tells him to fuck off, and the apex of this was his attempt to vent frustration by bullying the poor sword-girl (if they ever suddenly made her a leader for rupees, it would be the best cosmetic decision by Tsaigames in the last two years). While in the vanilla apocalyptic story he still looked more or less fresh compared to the other bio-problematic leaders, here, after the chapters of the previous two crafts, he looked like a stupid animal. And you can lose interest in a stupid animal, or just flush it down the toilet, as the best character of this guild arc did.
It's not that I straight up hate him (I just felt like writing "moron" and "animal"), and I even mostly agree with Tsaigames that after two text-heavy campaigns it would be nice to actually run through something simple without all the melodrama, but I don't share the opinions of the Redditors drowning in delight over how a boring thug boringly walks around and picks fights with passersby once again. I suspect that for some, the fact that you can't play Blood in ranked plays a role, and this method somehow fulfills that desire for a short time.
tl;dr - doubling down on Fragment.

Heh. Turns out I already have 18 arena tickets. I'll trade them for Albert's skin.
But seriously, I need to use them, because I got a bit carried away, crafted a bunch of legendaries, and now I'm running low on vials. And a new pack is coming soon.
...and I need to finish the tournament, lol.

I didn't really want to go to A, B is more profitable and peaceful, but I somehow got carried away. The funniest thing is, I've already been crushing opponents with this deck – a mid-range deck with a focus on the Valet sword.

Just beautiful. Tenko within the walls of her Temple.



Repeated the success, so I can sleep soundly. The deck isn't optimized – just one Snow Maiden, two Ether Spirits, but it seems to work well. I'm very glad that I finally got Aegis. I'm not sure if it will work better here – either the Heresy Avatar or the Justiceman. The first one seems to destroy amulets, but it might be an anti-synergy. The second one seems out of place, but it might be buffed by the Sanctuary.

2-3, 3-2, 5-0, 5-0
It turned out there was nowhere left to progress.

I'm calling for tickets for the arena. My favorite way to win is by causing fatigue. True, the enemy surrendered earlier this time, but it's so satisfying to push him to the brink. Or to commit suicide myself. Damn, I need to craft Spartacus.

I recently had a fun game with fatigue. I was playing Blood (my opponent was Dragon), and I took Yormungand and various damage-dealing spells/units against the opponent and myself. Closer to the end, he put down Chronos, and it seemed like he was about to win. I had drawn so many cards that I only had 2 left in my deck (the opponent still had about 10-11). I managed to defeat him just as I drew my last card. To be fair, I noticed this at the same time I saw that I only had two cards left. And then it was just a matter of putting down Psemu, playing his cards, and finishing it all off with an Archdemon.

I wouldn't even bother playing this mode if it weren't for the daily quests. I skipped it completely yesterday.

But I did manage to smile a couple of times:
- I was so tired and playing carelessly that I completely forgot about the canyon, and the guy probably had his eyes pop out from such a blunder, or he just thought it was beneath him to beat someone so mentally challenged.
- The guy saw that I had just put down the Hive with high power points. He plays a Defensive deck and pre-evolves))) I decided to give him a chance to think better and destroyed the first Defensive deck, starting with a Frenzied Drake. On the next turn, he puts down a second Defensive deck, tries to suicide a weak mob into my Drake, and spends his second evolution on pre-evolving it. The ending is somewhat predictable - it got destroyed by a spell costing 2 power points. I wonder how high this master player's IQ is?
- I actually laughed out loud at this guy - he spends 6 power points, puts down a second Amulet on top of the first, and suicides a Wolf into my respawning monster in order to save one evolution :smile12: :smile12: :smile12:

I hope these guys are enjoying the meta-reshuffle and the mini-expansion and that they didn't waste 20,000 vials for nothing to craft new legendaries and craft nerfed Defensive decks for the second time. Because, according to some shady sources that are sucking up to the game developers for yen, these are now "tier-1 decks," and they can probably win the entire Grand Prix in one or two tries. I especially hope that this Wengo player is having a lot of fun, since 80% of his deck will be rotated out in three weeks, a very useful investment :smile20:
I, by the way, am still using the same deck that I put together in the early days of DBNE, and with which I had win streaks of 5-10 games in Grandmaster ranked for two months straight, when all the internet experts thought it was garbage, and when Shadowlog's statistics showed that the class had a 40% win rate. I'm too lazy to craft new girls, and they don't seem to be that necessary anyway.

Damn, I need to craft Spartacus.

Do I really need to?
