What about Govein? Why can't it be added to the deck?

It seems they've already fixed that.

I was building a new deck for Shadow with Ikhtars. I realized that there wasn't a place for the Lord in the deck again.



:D :(

Yeah, my 3 Lords are also struggling =(

It seems like a 4-1 score on the arena will be my Damocles' sword. There's always some match where some noob Blood faction player rushes me, and my early drops don't come in time.

Yes, it exists. After tons of 4-1s and a slightly smaller ton of 3-2s, I managed to do it. Characteristically, with the waifu.

I quickly put together a Frogcraft deck, even crafted a Rogues' Creed, and on turn 4, I got hit by Ortus from a little girl. I gave up.

Playing with this Cannonkraft deck.

Opponent is using Frogs.
@
Well, this should be easy, we'll just stall.
@
On turn five, we deploy the Cannon.

Meanwhile, the opponent is building up their buffed board in ambush.

On turn six, Albert comes out and deals 7-6 damage to the biggest frog, easy concede.

And a little more baguette.

Decided to play with Dimensioncraft.
@
Got matched against a Priest, seems okay.
@
Just sitting here, waiting for the Shift, two Destroyers are already boosted to full, but Herman still hasn't shown up.
@
Finally, on turn eight, the savior arrives, and shortly after, Aegis appears for the Priest.
@
We desperately boost, calculate, and it turns out that on turn 11, we can "kill the enemy with ourselves" using three 7-7 units and one Shift unit, dealing exactly 10 damage, and here comes the moment of truth.
@
Strength test.

On the sixth turn, Albert comes out and shoots the fattest frog with 7-6, easy concede.

Wait, Albert has an attack of 3. How can he kill a frog with 6 HP?
I played against the frog build three times, and I never got the actual cannon. Once, my opponent messed up, and I won with 1 HP, but then I lost because I had no area-of-effect attacks, unfortunately.

The Cannon Tower is a generally weak map in Constructed.

It's kind of annoying. It's like even though the expansion just came out, and the rank isn't that high, everyone is still playing like they're following a script. Especially the Vampires with Serpents and Moon, they're particularly irritating, and they never seem to get the cards they need...
The Dragon surprised me by bringing out Sahoy and Bagamut, and then following up with a new hero. I thought that this strategy could be improved by using Kokitus, then Bagamut and Sahoy wouldn't be needed, and the chances of success would be higher (requiring two cards in hand instead of three). Although, he does have the Lucics as well.

The Cannon is a generally weak map in Constructed.

I don't know, my deck seemed better than the Frog deck, even though it might lose in a direct matchup. Although, the Cannon was nerfed for no reason. Before the update, it seemed to deal 5 damage, if I'm not mistaken, now it only deals damage equal to the commander's attack and without any bonuses, resulting in it not being very effective for control, considering the randomness of the attack. But now, Sword has few options for what to play.

Cocitus

Trash. It was only used by Control Vampires in RoBE, and even they stopped using it.

Garbage. It was only used by control vampires in RoB, and even they stopped using it.

With 8 action points, you kill an enemy follower, with 9 action points, you summon a servant and immediately cast Storm (and you still have 2 action points left). What's wrong with that? It only competes a bit with Blast for a slot in your spell selection.

It’s a useless spell. Right now, I’d rather spend 8 mana and a turn to kill one follower.

Well, Seraph spends 8 mana and doesn't do anything at all, and besides, Haven can't build a Rampart... Although, maybe you're right.

No, the combo might actually be decent with a servant (although skipping the eighth turn means certain death), but this scheme is simply worse than Zell-Uric or Zell-Saha, and outside of the combo, its impact on the game is insignificant. There's simply no point in playing like this if you have top-tier cards.

Wait, Albert has an attack of 3. How can you kill a frog with 6 HP?

I meant that out of all the opponent's followers, the shot hit the one who wouldn't die from it. Although, even if the shot had been more effective, I probably wouldn't have had a chance in that game anyway.
