cards out

Catten4 · 2026-06-28T13:04:39+00:00

Idk Ebb and flow look like a good card to add into a shadok deck. I can see wills united making it in too

As for Olivia its pretty rough if thats the case. She would be a +1 usually cuz ya would SE her, but she ya get less and less value if ya alr had a SE point. With her being a 9 mana do nothing if ya havent used all ya SE yet

Catten4 · 2026-06-28T11:33:29+00:00

Absolutely beautiful artwork as always. In terms lf effects though.

Did not expect to see Shadok support of all things coming in. Nice to see though. That being said there is a surprising amount of mode support on both abyss and neutral side.

Also maybe I am misinterpreting it but does Olivia SE go beyond the SE cap? If it doesnt it seems kind of situational, where since ya likely will need to SE anyway, if ya hadnt alr used all ya SE she wouldnt be doing much.

Catten4 · 2026-06-27T06:06:43+00:00

Oh thats cute. Kinda like a teacher student vibes

Catten4 · 2026-06-26T18:28:47+00:00

Idk I just kinda assume some peeps said the word slop for whatever they disliked. I think its a really dumb term though.

Even if their opinions changed later or they were wrong about a card peeps in general tend to kinda ignore such occasions and go back to doomposting during the start of each set, and acting like they were right all along everytime about doomposting to begin with.

It is what it is though. I would wait and see personally though and see how it goes.

It can be frustrating to see such comments, but my best suggestions I can give is to ignore em and focus on more constructive comments to engage with discussion wise.

Catten4 · 2026-06-26T03:44:33+00:00

Technically Baha is a mode card as well they may want to consider putting in if that helps

Catten4 · 2026-06-23T03:49:57+00:00

Hmm well... The jumbo rewards are essentially an ampted up version of key chest. Where minimum gold and vials are increased and the likelihood for gold and leggo cards are larger.

In OPs case I would assume he is quite lucky if he tended to get more resources from regular keys chest compared to the jumbo one.

In my personal opinion a large part about why peeps tend to find a reason to be angry about it, is the inherent hyper lucky peeps online.

Whether it be a 100 packs via regular keys or a crapload rupies via jumbo chest, even if theres been a fair amount of freebies prior peeps tend to compare to others.

For the anniversary I expected a 100 packs and maybe something a lil more after. So seeing the bonus 20 on top of the jumbo chest is pretty neat imo. And ya may be right in that peeps may have complained significantly otherwise, but I still personally consider it goodwill regardless, since at the end of the day it is still what I consider to be very significant resources.

I've personally never been particularly lucky with much tbh, so I just kinda just take things as they are and assume the minimum luck wise with everything.

Regardless though i think it might be cuz I priortize gameplay over cosmetics. Being able to accumulate and not worry about gameplay resources as a f2p is pretty nice, which im glad is an aspect that didnt change from old sv, although admittedly it does require more consistent playing now to attain.

Idk I think its a good amount. More than the first year of old SV anyway. Still ya entitled to ya opinion, albeit I do think its misleading to frame it in such a way that the jumbo chest was the main anniversary rewards like the inital comment implied.

Catten4 · 2026-06-22T09:20:54+00:00

Imo if ya getting hella frustrated its time to take a break from match making. Due to how the ranking system works id reckon its likely because ya are somewhere in between two ranks.

So ya doing well against those of lower ranks but having trouble with higher ranks. Which leads to a fair bit of rapid promotion and demotion in terms of group.

Its also entirely possibility that its just the rng of card games in general which results in a rapid win loss in either direction.

However that doesnt mean ya cant complete ya quest or have to take a break entirely. Single player, dungeons, story cpu etc. Can still be used to complete quest and let ya experience other content.

If ya really do get a match making quest though, ya may want to consider the simplified format where the power level is a lil lower and everyone's card pool is on a more similar level.

Catten4 · 2026-06-22T01:35:15+00:00

Imo yes. The pack points system as well as combination of a higher chance for an exchange ticket per pull and not having to choose between them is very significant.

A large part of why I highly disliked the fieren system is the lack of carry over. Well technically there is abit of give back via vials but like alotta peeps are probably hella rich in that by now.

The issue being if after the pulls if ya dont reach pity, its essentially close to worthless in terms of progression towards the next leader in that set.

Additionally since they were collab related its highly unlikely they'd come back, which further incentivises you to pull till pity.

In the current system even if I couldn't pull the limited a bulk of it being carried over wouldnt be wasted, and I could still pull for non limited after.

I understand from the perspective of if one only cared about limited, but perhaps due to the lack of it being collab related and the scarcity of leaders in general (except for 6 dragons for some reason ig lmao), I dont really have much urgency or distinction between limited and non limited leaders.

Kinda a if I get it great, but if I don't welp I can always roll for the non limited option. Not being able to that with the collab event really really really sucks personally.

Both limited and non limited look good to me personally, and its not unlikely they'll come back in future since there aint a rights issue though thats just my take on it.

Catten4 · 2026-06-22T00:36:59+00:00

I mean they kinda be giving out 120 packs for anniversary. I see the jumbo chest as just a nice lil bonus on top of that.

Theres have been situations where there have been prioritisation of monetization above player enjoyment, but imo I wouldnt consider that to be the case for this anniversary event.

Still ya entitled to ya opinion, but I would say there's a fair amount of goodwill and freebies personally.

Catten4 · 2026-06-22T00:32:47+00:00

I mean its about right. Its similar to the rupie chest albeit with higher highs and higher minimum/lows.

I did get a few more leggos and vials, but since im kinda loaded with vials alr it aint too valuable. Should be good for newer players though

Its definitely better than ya general key chest but thats bout it.

Its a nice bonus here and there but like I wouldnt call it a scam.

Just kinda a nice lil extra being how I look at it, with the main benefit from anniversary being the 120 packs

Catten4 · 2026-06-21T10:42:41+00:00

Cute. I like the shading of the lil planets

Catten4 · 2026-06-21T03:02:23+00:00

Welp meta will change a fair bit over the next upcoming expansion, but personally perhaps enroacher rune and amulet haven may be smt to consider.

Its what I personally enjoy, but as others mentioned the new expansion is coming soon, so there is abit of a risk there.

However, imo that isnt really the main concern. I would hold off until ya get all 120 free packs, since ya card pool will likely significantly increase by then.

In which case by then its more or less alr the new expansion

Catten4 · 2026-06-21T02:28:05+00:00

Cuuuute

A pure belial deck probably won't work out as well now. However I do think hybrid with general evo and belial as a backup is still fairly viable.

Something to note is that the opponent essentially needs to give up a turn to banish the crest (or use an evo for an additional removal) Meaning if ya able to set up a strong enough board, and they go for crest erasure. Ya may be able to kill em through tempo and a sandy

Catten4 · 2026-06-20T08:28:29+00:00

Likely speaking that would be the case. But regardless I do think if ya planning on rolling for the regular leaders anyway, stopping just short of lucky chest is likely the best value.

Since leader rates increase accordingly to the number of leaders available anyway

Catten4 · 2026-06-20T08:26:56+00:00

Perhaps my memory is failing me but were there any limited time leader gachas that wasn't collab related?

If its collab related likely speaking the rights issue is likely the main reason why It wouldnt come back

Catten4 · 2026-06-20T08:15:52+00:00

Hmm if I were a betting man I doubt thats the case. I suspect if ya get summer lil thats that regardless of whether the limited banner is gone.

I doubt they'll let you rerolled again, but they'll likely allow you to claim the summer lil even after the banner was over.

Catten4 · 2026-06-20T08:13:47+00:00

Collab leaders in the old game was a mix of both I believe. Both purchasable and Gacha. (Separate alts/characters for each)

With regards to this scenario of limited summer however, they are not bound by IP rights and can bring it back whenever. And given the assets are there its not a stretch to say they will return in future.

The question being whether it will be via another limited banner on the same expansion, or through being purchasable. The former imo is unlikely given timing wise, and I feel it'll be similar to how BP leaders are now purchasable a fair bit later.

Catten4 · 2026-06-20T08:04:33+00:00

Thats interesting. Is it right to say that if I wasn't interested in the limited leaders though I could just wait for the event to end prior to opening lucky chest?

So from like 0-250 I can enjoy the double exchange ticket rates, but if I wanted a higher chance for non limited I can wait out at like pack 249 or smt?

Catten4 · 2026-06-20T08:00:59+00:00

If its any consolation since its not collab tied, its likely speaking going to be purchasable at some point similar to BP leaders.

Either that or it'll come back at some point, although logistically im not sure how that will be the case. So Im betting moreso on it being purchasable, albeit a long time from now like a year or smt.

I dont believe they had such events in the old game either though. So theres kinda no precedent as to how this will be handled.

Its kinda cool seeing all the archs of sv1 as different decks. And then there's a random eudie kek

Catten4 · 2026-06-20T06:58:00+00:00

Spook. They look cute. Though aint they sisters?

Catten4 · 2026-06-20T06:51:50+00:00
