What are your thoughts on the new cards? So far, Sword looks pretty good, especially the Dragon Knights. Among the others, Shadow Silver seems interesting (which is Fran, although the Gray Lady might also be good). It's hard to evaluate a card like Silva... With so much control like Portal, I'm not sure it will be in demand (which is a shame). Proto Bahamut doesn't seem very good. The regular Bahamut was definitely better. Lyria might be good for a ramp strategy. Rackham is quite strong for a neutral bronze. Very cool. But that's good, there's no need to give a good guy bronze value... In general, sometimes the choice of characters from GBF is unexpected; I definitely didn't expect Scathach (by the way, she seems good too). But it's interesting.

What do you think about the new maps?

Cataphracts are good.

For convenience: a chart on Reddit.

It's surprising that important characters for the Grand Battle Faction (GBF) are made into Silver or Bronze units, while random, irrelevant characters like Lantham are made into Legendaries.

Or Mordecai...

Morda 2.0 is epic; I hoped that the Dungeon faction would provide a target for reanimation after Zeus's rotation, and I'm very glad that they did.
And now I'll quickly go through and share my Very Important Opinion on all the maps that were posted on Twitter.

I'm not very happy about it, as reanimation isn't needed. It's not only boring in itself, but it's also a mechanic that's very difficult to balance. Strangely enough, mid-range Shadow is the best thing that has happened to this class throughout its existence.

Not as overpowered as our old friend. But that's probably for the better.



A targeted tutorial. You can also use it to teach Kronos in the mills, by the way. I often wished I could get it.



Filler for tier 2.







It's like a husbando festival, and some cards synergize with each other, which is good for enhance. I predict it will be auto-included x3.



Why is he closing his mouth?
Arthurian light on steroids. They went overboard attaching such an effect to leaders. Especially considering the huge number of cards with rush. However, it's not that hard to make it 8 power points, and Lumina rotates, and you can't evolve it with the sword. I think it will just be a decent tech card in mid/control.



They're taking effects from crafting and putting them into crafting again. It's just okay.



A drug-induced spell, but it's cool. Note that it can affect all units, including your own.



A good card for tier 2. 2/2/2 on the curve, a body, and draw on enhance. Too slow for aggro, too boring for mid, and it interferes with Arthur.



Okay for tier 2.





It's just okay. In my opinion, it's a useless thing, and it's unclear where to use it.





One guy on Reddit told me that this is a lifesaver for aggro decks. I'm more skeptical. A token unit without evolve is not needed for aggro, no decent aggro deck would agree to 4/1/1, even with ambush, a token spell is the last resort (don't forget about 4/1/1). However, there are chances in mid and tier 2.



Well, it seems okay. It escaped from the neutrals and found a place to fit in, hehe. Although it's not that impressive.



It's not that eternal, unfortunately. If necromancy only works on fanfares or after resurrection, that's bad. But otherwise, it's very cool.



And this is good, considering the full stats on evolve. If it pulls out a Belenus or a peacock, that's great.



They continue to reprint. Good. I wish they would also add units with last word that you want to destroy quickly.



It's like a steroid-enhanced snake priestess. And it also has a slight anti-synergy with the summit. However, it's a very overpowered unit. It's okay for tier 2, at least.



E-e-e. I don't understand. Does it only give that effect on acceleration? And on full power points, it's just a body with ambush? I'm not sure.



Ramp, high stats, it's useless in the mirror match, it's generally mediocre, but maybe they will use it because of the ramp.



More or less okay for tier 2, considering that the lion with ward rotates. It's useless in construct.



Okay with beer.



2-for-1 + vengeance activator, but it's tied to evolve, which is not good.



It's cool, probably, but I'm not entirely sure about how good it is. There's already a 3/2/3 ward commander, and it's not very popular. We'll see.



Oh, I like it. Not wow-wow-wow x3 auto-include, but okay for tier 2 and as a tech card for construct, the forest has few area-of-effect spells, and this is a pretty good one that works on the evolve turn.



An evil version of the happy piglet. I don't know why it's for rune, though.



Okay, a bunch of removals, full stats on evolve, LINDWORM SUPPORT. It might be okay with beer.





I haven't been this happy since they revealed that spell for the forest that bounces, deals 3 damage, and costs 1 power point. It's a good card, maybe not a lifesaver, but it's not bad. And most importantly, it's very flexible and will be useful in any situation.

A good card for tier 2. 2/2/2 stats, a body, and wood for the enhance. Too slow for aggro, too boring for mid-range, and it interferes with Arthur.

Husband material?

Yeah... Portal gets the best grill out of all the cards that have been shown so far.

Oh, hello, "Cannons don't need shells."

All the remaining husbandos content is rotated with ToG.

What does everyone think about the new maps?

It's hard to say, I haven't looked at any of them.

Got Izrafiel and Sybil. There's some kind of questionable legendary item for the dragon, this Adramelech... Given how dragons are played, I can't imagine how to use him effectively. And Tina suddenly became a princess, unexpectedly. The map is beautiful, although not very usable. Sarunan has an interesting mechanic. Does he only remove actively applied effects, or how does it work? We're waiting for Rosetta and Io. I hope the first one will be made a legendary, like the Rose Queen before her.

Yes, the reprint of Rosie is causing problems.

I haven't been this happy since we discovered that spell for the forest that bounces, deals 3 damage, and costs 1 mana point. It's a good map, maybe not a complete game-changer, but it's decent. And most importantly, it's very versatile and will definitely be useful.

In my opinion, it's complete garbage, and it doesn't solve any problems.

Huh? I don't understand. Does it only have this effect when accelerated? And on full mana, it's just a unit with ambush? I'm not sure.

Considering that you can accelerate at any stage of the game, I don't see a problem. I like it; it works well with both low-level and high-level units and artifacts. And I was also hoping for an ambush in the portal from the Citadel Guard, as it's the best class that combines all the available mechanics in the game. Also, a good healer and some decent mid-game units would be nice.
