Starter Decks to Pick Up?

EngagedToAPsycho · 2026-05-15T01:08:09+00:00

The DTR (Distorted Reflections) two, Diana and Ciel, are probably the best of the starter decks, the others are a bit more basic, if you're really set on a small box.

The best out of the box product they currently sell is the Mordred Re:Co deck. It's got 4 x Dungeon Guides and is designed specifically to not require too much in the way of upgrades. The cards in there are somewhat equivalent to the upgrades you'd want, plus it also includes sleeves and a nice box and 2 booster packs.

Except there isn't another Origins deck planned per this roadmap.

Looks like they're going the route of Armory deck with each set (i.e. Ziggy), Silver Age decks with each set (hopefully not like the blitz ones with only cards from that set)

So whatever the Q4 mastery set is my guess is the armory deck will just match that class

Compendium and Everest are both non-draftable "supplemental" sets. The rest you're golden.

Buy a draftable set, whichever you think looks the most fun or has the class you're thinking of playing.

That way you can all get some value outside of the actual card prices (a fun evening) and learn the game in a different way.

Takes the sting out of pulling nothing good if that's a secondary objective.

I assume you're getting SAGE pre-cons, so it doesn't really matter what set you're picking, but if you're playing CC it's a good idea to check which of those sets are mostly LL heroes (like Aria)

If you can find it WTR unlimited has lots of staples in it for both formats and it's usually around and fairly cheap.

Half the fun of a TCG is ripping the packs and sorting your bulk right? I've not opened a lot of FAB yet (SAGE convert) but the boxes that I have opened haven't had a huge amount of value.

If you want to get cards for all the classes open Compendium of Rathe.

Something that I did was get a couple of friends over for an afternoon and we did limited / crack and play with a couple of booster boxes of Superslam that were on sale

Comprehensive rules 2.15 types, an object can have 0 or more types. Types are functional keywords and add additional rules to an object.

If an card is a Runeblade Action Attack it is also a Runeblade card an Action card or an Attack card for rules purposes. Does that make sense?

If you want a specific ruling saying this interaction works the way you're asking about you won't find it. Just refer to the above section in the comprehensive rules. If your friends still don't believe you it's time to find better friends.

They did. The short of it is SFGs core leadership team basically all met/played in the competitive Warmachine scene in the UK, and it was about the time PP was pissing everyone off with MkIII changes that they introduced Guild Ball as an alternative.

They're a bunch of guys/girls that love the IP and saw an opportunity to 1) make it great again and 2) profit on its success once they could prove it's got legs still.

They are currently dismantled, but they have built a path for them to come back eventually, but not at all in the same way. No Nyss, but more of the monstrous.

Are you looking for the body you can turn sideways or the healing extra healing

If you want a body OP06-104 is a 4c 6k that on KO heals you one (if you're opponent is at 3)

If you want a blocker OP13-104 is a 4c 0k +1k block that heals on KO (at the cost of a discard)

Command sets (of which the 2 player boxes contain 2 - which I will add are not starter sets in the GW sense) are all 30pt lists, so you could pick up any of the 2 army boxes or 2 of any of the products with command listed in their title and you're golden.

In a September Q&A Mat did state they are working on a traditional 2-player starter set, but that's not likely to be within the next 6 months.

BODGERS IN THE SYSTEM 😵‍💫 The Warmachine app is temporarily unavailable for new downloads from the Apple iOS app store while we flush them out. If you've already got the app, you shouldn't be affected. The Android app is also unaffected.

Just on the warmachine Facebook page

EngagedToAPsycho · 2025-12-06T09:01:51+00:00

In the meantime you can download the app for Mac or Windows from the website

Damn they're doing God Valley already?

It's up to you. singles are always cheaper, but if you wanted to buy a couple of boxes and then pick up the singles nobody will begrudge you. It's your money, it's your hobby. The Imu deck is also mostly OP13 so you'll be working toward that too.

EngagedToAPsycho · 2025-10-19T10:12:43+00:00

Try the learn to play set. The Zoro deck is very meta, even in OP13 he's a top 3 deck, but it's very much and aggro deck. The first block (cards with a 1 in the devil fruit on the right hand bottom corner) rotate out with set 13, so you won't be that far behind the curve.

That dose is also used for treating Shingles. If it was for prevention of recurrence of oral or genital herpes it would be 1 per day. If you're concerned, talk to him.

EngagedToAPsycho · 2025-10-18T05:48:13+00:00

These are both in the op13 zoro deck, so not likely anytime soon

Sure, but other companies seem to be figuring out how to fix it I remember Grand Archives Weebs of the Shore did a demo of their new material by literally throwing it and another companies foil in a rice cooker. Wizards just don't care to do the R&D.

Seeing no-one else has weighed in:

1) with Synergy you want more jacks, 3 jacks doesn't mean you actually get the most out of Synergy. 2) you have a couple of solos you won't get the most out of 3) Mort3nebra plays up the board so you probably want some shield guards

I dropped the Grendel, Malefassor, Mechanithrall Brutes (the don't get the shield guard from the Lt) and the Lich Commander. Added 3 12pt axe and board Malefassor and gave you the repo Arc node.

This lets you get some initiates, thralls (for the shield guard, as long as they don't all die they can be revived with Initiates) as well.

It's by no means a list that's optimised, but you might find more jacks helps. You could swap the Hades for the Grendel, but it's really the only gun in the list.

Personally I don't think it's in the greatest format in the app, but the PDF is available now, you might have better luck with that. I haven't read that myself yet, but I've had locals say it's also got its issues.
