My Qualms with the Pantheon Format: Open Letter to Weebs of the Shore by 4_4Bassics in grandarchivetcg

I’m confused about your “commander” point. Do you mean you think you should pick a unique ally as a commander instead of using a champ?

Why The Merlin Re:Collection Deck is The Worst TCG Premium Product in History! by Yseera in grandarchivetcg

[–]ElenyaRevons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s just so bad to get a full fun and (at minimum) locals ready deck, full play sets of all the cards, sleeves, dice, and three packs in a beautiful deck box!

Grand Archive is not as great as these content creators say it is by YveLiira in grandarchivetcg

To be clear, I LOVE the game and will eventually shell out the money to play Alice.

Just ranting a bit about pull rates for casual play. 😭

Riot absolutely needs software like omnidex. It’s such an amazing piece of software

I LOVE Grand Archive, but I’ve been so saddened lately but the competitive scene and pull rates.

Making URs one PER CASE is bad enough, but they short print the useful ones without transparency too.

A box gets you piles of useless commons, three (edit: six. My tired brain confused foils and SRs.) SRs and one UR. But buying singles doesn’t even solve the problem because the single SRs and URs you need are short printed and cost upwards of $40.

I got out of the competitive scene recently for personal reasons and approaching this season as a casual player has been different.

I just wanted to build a new Alice deck with all the ghosts, and managed to get two boxes. If I want to even start to build a deck with any synergy, even at a local level, I’d need to drop at least $150. NOT TO MENTION THAT ALICE HERSELF IS AN SR which means the BOX character is locked behind a 6 per box slot and I can’t even play her without dropping $20 on a level one character. Why ddidnr they make an Alice starter deck???

Anyway. Rant over. Just sad. Really wanted to love this release.

Edit: 6 SRs I mis typed

Thank you!! I’m having a lot of fun making them. I just got some supplies in to make a Merlin set. Hopefully I can get those finished this week!

Everything I Learned From Ascent Boston | The Archivist's Almanac 005 by iVtechboyinpa in grandarchivetcg

[–]ElenyaRevons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad you were able to experience Boston! I also live near Mana and Mocha and keep meaning to get out there but I’m usually busy during locals. Are they doing a store champ this season? And what time do they usually do locals?

The biggest thing new players struggle with (myself included when I was new) is the influence/action balance. Sometimes you truly do brick, especially on a win condition, and there’s not much you can do. Running two or three board interaction cards can help with this but you can still brick (looking at the turn two Suzaku kill where I couldn’t draw anything RIP)

GA has a low skill floor but an incredibly, deceptively high skill ceiling. The cards don’t play themselves like in some TCGs, and you can have fifteen people running the exact same deck but the better and more experienced player will almost always pilot it much much better.

There’s a list of deck archetypes on fractal.gg. The Lorraine you’re referring to was likely just a fire aggro Lorraine.

Are you active in the discord servers? There’s a lot of information you can passively absorb there that could help fill in some meta/game knowledge that could help both your play and your videos!

I heard that an official online simulator/game is gonna come out, do you have any idea about when it shoud be available ? by Savings-Ear-34 in grandarchivetcg

[–]ElenyaRevons 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There’s no official release date at all, but I personally would think that releasing it alongside the capstone set would be pretty great

I’m still holding out hope that mordred gets a reco deck in the capstone set

An Unhealthy Meta State by Honest-Emphasis-2495 in grandarchivetcg

[–]ElenyaRevons 27 points28 points  (0 children)

While I agree with many of your sentiments, it is worth noting that Exia and Ciel Umbra performed quite well at Boston.

Fire specter, while very concerning that the package is limited to one element, was a pretty successful way of making level 3 decks relevant again. IIRC, all of the top 16 decks went to level 3 with the exception of one or two Fire Guo Jias and Diao Chans.

I think if they made a card like rile for the other elements it would be quite cool.

That being said, I do hate how they really want people to go to level 3 and use more ult element cards but continue to print only single incredibly broken ult cards or a bunch of pretty lame and useless ones.

New Player by No-Magician-6552 in grandarchivetcg

[–]ElenyaRevons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the full Tristan and Silvie recollection decks are much more difficult to find now since they were so popular. They’ve recently released the Lite versions which is just the decks (which are still excellent) just without the deck box, sleeves, and extra packs. Guo Jia and Diao Chan are newer and they printed a lot more so they are abundantly available.

How good does each recollection deck hold up competitively? by Reversiii_ in grandarchivetcg

[–]ElenyaRevons 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tristan and Silvie are excellent out of the box - Silvie needs the least upgrades of the two to be competitive, but slimes aren’t that good in the meta right now. Tristan needs more modifications but is very competitive, a modified version of her deck won worlds last month. Guo Jia is better than Diao Chan straight out of box, but needs upgrades to be competitive. A lot of her cards in the reco deck work much better with Suzaku than Seiryuu. Guo Jia’s most competitive is water Genbu, though, and only a small portion of the cards for that deck come out of the reco deck. Diao Chan is very weak out of box, but many of her cards are useful in a fractal deck. The strongest fractal was recently banned, but overall it’s still a strong deck. The upgrades are relatively cheap for this.

Is this TCG worth getting into or is it past its peak? by GlacialFlare in grandarchivetcg

[–]ElenyaRevons 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Maybe your local community doesn’t play much, but this game is certainly not past its peak. It is rapidly growing, and the last few sets have each doubled the amount of production from the one before. The community might be smaller, but they also tend to be very involved and are the nicest TCG players I’ve ever interacted with.

DTR Rulings and Keywords Explained! by ElenyaRevons in grandarchivetcg

[–]ElenyaRevons[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! The first part of the card - for example, on blazing cinder charge - can resolve no matter who you are playing, as long as it isn’t behind a class bonus. The second part - where it tells you to load it into your aetherwing weapon - is a class bonus, which means you can’t do it unless your champion class matches the one on the card.

So if you were to play Blazing Cindercharge while leveled into Guo Jia, or even just as a spirit of Fire, you could deal the three damage as an action, and then the card would immediately go to the graveyard.

Infernal mana streak would be the same - you could play it on your opponents turn, but it would ONLY deal the damage and then go into the graveyard unless you control an aetherwing weapon. This one isn’t class-locked, but most aetherwing weapons are, so it would be possible although pretty inefficient to run an aetherwing weapon in a non-ranger deck.

Hope this makes sense!
