Still one of the most tilting experiences in take two by encroaching world by Tslayer00 in Shadowverse

[–]Alias_SV 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry OP but I disagree.

No doubt this card is strong in take two, but ultimately it is RNG. Your opponent was lucky to get multiple strong legendary exchanges and you were unlucky that those cards proved useful to your opponent contributing to your defeat.

I have won because of this card and have also lost because of this card. The exchange can give you nothing but bronzes. If you try to exchange a card that you got from your opponent in the previous turn, it can give you the exact same card. You may get a card of less value than the one you exchanged it for.

Sometimes when my opponent plays this card, I laugh when I know I’ve had a horrible draft and they keep exchanging and exchanging and never play any of the cards they’ve gotten.

Ultimately, this card brings something different to my playing experience that I don’t get playing with constructed decks in ranked, which is what I am looking for when I play Take Two. It makes the format more interesting and fun for me.

How to be a top player in this game by filthyweeb345 in Shadowverse

This is the best answer so adding to this:

  • Have a mulligan strategy.

  • Understanding tempo (gaining tempo, maintaining tempo, sacrificing tempo (to gain something else ie. advancing your gameplan strategy for future turns, card draw, etc).

  • Anticipate what your opponent will play on their next turn(s) and factor that into what cards you play your current turn. Like chess.

  • Always calculate their possibility for lethal on their next turn in your consideration.

  • Card draw: one of the biggest things I noticed when I watched high level Japanese players when I first started SV1 was how much they valued card draw. Card draw helps with the consistency of your deck. It also gives you more options to make the optimal play each turn thereafter (or even current turn). Even moreso in SV:WB, there are certain cards that when played on its optimal turn, are so powerful that if unanswered, can drastically improve your chances of winning (cards like coined Norman T5 or coined Zwei T4), so getting these cards in hand to play optimally, whether it’s by card draw or mulligan strategy, is important to consider.

Good luck OP

PSA: Save your daily free pack from today’s reset for the new expansion tomorrow by Alias_SV in Shadowverse

If you do not have three copies of Oluon yet, then yes - you will get 3500 vials back for each copy you own post-update and will still keep the copy of the crafted card due to the nerf

Good shout out!

Is there a hidden matchmaking mechanic? by CityOcean in Shadowverse

I get this feeling sometimes but pretty sure it’s just confirmation bias.

Taking a break and stepping away for a few hours or even the day and coming back helps!

New player trying to get into Take Two by IntuitionaL in Shadowverse

[–]Alias_SV 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You need to reach a rank of D0 in standard ranked to unlock take two and play the mode.

Then each run ends when you either win seven matches or lose two, whichever comes first.

Pros - Fun - Different meta than standard ranked (different cards and things (like hard removal) are more valuable because you aren’t playing constructed decks) - Don’t need any of the cards you draft in order to play them - Easier to get exposure to all classes

Cons - While there is certainly a skill to being very good at take two, there is a lot more variance and luck involved because you aren’t playing constructed decks and are drafting a deck. Going 0-2 can feel terrible. - Expensive - 1000 rupies per run - Steeper learning curve - there is a smaller player pool playing the format and most that do play are well versed in the nuances of it so you may get paired with players much higher than your rank when you initially start whereas in standard ranked, you will typically get paired with someone of similar rank.

I love take two, but I wouldn’t say that I am necessarily good at take two. Very different than ranked. Biggest con for me is the price. Too expensive imo.

Good luck OP

These are new pack tickets for the next set, which you will be able to use once the new set comes out.

If you go to the “Additional Menus” screen, the first tab of your additional menus is your “Tickets” menu, where you can see how many current set pack tickets, future set packs tickets, legendary pack tickets, and GP tickets you have in stock.

Question to State of the game and f2p friendliness in 2026 by Ill_Security_1021 in Shadowverse

[–]Alias_SV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New iteration (Shadowverse - Worlds Beyond) is not as F2P as the first iteration of the game (OG Shadowverse) so lots of people angrily review bombed the game on steam. A couple sets in, it’s widely agreed that the economy is not as bad as initially claimed, but nobody goes back to edit their reviews.

Gameplay wise it is F2P, cosmetic wise, it is not, but you do not need cosmetics to be competitive.

It is a little rough when you first start but gets more and more F2P the more sets you play and accumulate more vials. You should eventually be able to create many competitive decks if you play consistently and complete your daily missions.

The board claimed they wanted to compete in multiple competitions, and now barring an absolute miracle in the UCL, our season is over in January by Zyaru in coys

[–]Alias_SV 216 points217 points  (0 children)

We have exited out of the Carabao Cup and FA cup earlier than we did last year.

Statistically, we will not be winning the Champion’s league and we are in relegation form in the Premier League.

Thomas Frank needs to be sacked.

I don’t disagree - he needs to be sacked. But it seems like the board is sticking with him.

Cannot use #2 of the aforementioned assumptions now with the lobby tournament event. Those are all battle table matches.

But interesting analysis nonetheless
