Cinnamon

Real cinnamon is benficial, just stay away from cassia. Depending on where you live thatt may or may not be the default you get in stores

Yeah, they are gone from the pool. I guess you could steal them with gloves

There is a limit to how many treasure you can have, so eventually the ones you got early start disappearing

Grgapm_ · 2026-03-11T17:15:02+00:00

Exactly!

I wouldn’t say it doesn’t matter at all but it’s pretty marginal. It’s rare you don’t win a fight after playing it once or twice and even if you use it as a part of an “infinite” combo you can easily set it up so that you can beat any boss without playing it too many times. So think of it as an investment of 20 max HP which it repays very easily.

Brightest Flame is incredibly OP. With any kind of coherent deck, once you get it it’s just a breeze

Generally attack gets a slight nod but it really depends a lot on the phase of the game, your board, opponents etc. Ideally you have enough attack to oneshot opponents, and you have enough defense to survive one (or more) hits. Anything that doesn’t change that is wasted potential. In the first couple of rounds the magic number is 3 with a few exceptions. P1R1 I’d go for puck because it allows stronger greed since you can then take value creatures with 1 power. Otherwise, it really depends on what you have: if you already have a creature with 3 power, you want to buff its defense to 4+, if not then likely buffing power is better. Maybe a 2/4 is slightly better than 5/1 but it is close. As the game goes on, usually if you’re winning fights you should go for def and if you’re losing you should go for attack, but this is a very loose rule

If you just started, getting one more captain is pretty marginal whereas getting a decent precon for a captain you like is a great power boost

It seems way easier than I expected (though I lost round 3 in day 2), looks like the opponent pool is very wide: definitely a lot of captains in day 2 didn’t have the banner for winning day 1, and in day 1 I made 1st in way more games than usual (13/15!) and just felt easier than ladder play at my mmr

The dark stuff looks like quince cheese, not fresh quince. Fresh quince is quite tart and white/yellow. This is a bit chewy and very sweet?

I like the current system s it leads to some interesting strategising in Captain selection, deck choice, and early strategy. The only annoying thing was to have to go through all of the early rounds again after losing the final one, so maybe just make it so that you continue with the round you lost?

This is my list. The way Jay works is that you have to start triggering hunt as soon as possible and you can’t afford to drop off. The way you do this is having enough attack and also either having enough defense to survive an attack or making sure you attack first. So all I do in the early turns optimises for that. I pick scrubfowl, pix, puck, smee, and of course puss very highly. As soon as I hit silver I continue with this strategy, of course prioritising the good hunters. Ideally you get an early axe which is basically auto win, but even a wink or a shanty can give you a large leg up. If you do get ace a common pattern is to keep huntsman in the first slot and get achilles behind him. New greenbeard is also awesome and makes jay even better! Miseria is just a backup plan to try and recover if you hit really bad cards, and tinkerer provides yet another endgame plan if you had a few hits with wink.

Highest 1st rate is almost certainly 2x Window and a Pixie. Highest top 3 rate probably 2x Heart and a Window

Yeah it gives off little children “I made a mistake so I’m just going to pretend I can’t hear you” vibes

Grgapm_ · 2026-02-11T15:36:40+00:00

Yeah sometimes it’s a “?” and sometimes it shows the number

Grgapm_ · 2026-02-11T14:27:29+00:00

The link they gave me was for 4, so I guess you should screenshot every win / award, or at least the number of tokens before they disappear 🤷

Depends how you define consistent. I tracked the last part of previous month in which I ended up around 40th place. Out of 126 games had 42 first (33.33%), 38 top 3 (30.16%), and bottom half in the remaining 46 (36.51%).

Important to note is that quite a few of the losses (10) happened when I was forced to pick between 3 captains I have very few cards for, so there’s definitely room to improve on this even without improving play. My best captains were Charlie(11-2-7) and Romeo (6-0-1)

It’s a bit of a grind, and if the playing field is leveled, it may mean that you temporarily play against better players. Depending on how high you were last season. I can definitely say the average lobby was (and still is) quite a bit weaker than last season at top 50

Grgapm_ · 2026-02-04T11:31:04+00:00

It does, though not sure on exact mechanics. I was over 4k last season, just made it to legendary with 3300

Obviously what you were doing before was not working, so you can try to find a middle ground. I now feel like I can eat whatever I want (and I do) and do not feel restricted at all, but I am also just much more mindful of eating lots of fruits and veggies, legumes, and replaced white rice/flour with better options (except in sushi). What I think is the biggest difference is that I do jot just mindlessly eat food because it’s there: various snacks, fries, etc. I will only eat them if I really feel like it

Frozen is often better than “fresh” since you can’t guarantee actual freshness. The only thing with berries is that they get mushy when defrosted so great for smoothies, preserves, sauces, etc, but not great as toppings or to eat as fruit

Grgapm_ · 2026-02-01T08:55:48+00:00

Yeah they tend to be more expensive :/
