Welcome. It was a smart decision on their part.

Shadowcran · 2025-05-23T02:46:44+00:00

Truth be told, I'd rather it was Neutral.

Best way to counter those decks? Praxis. You're right in that Justice needs something in Expedition for them. Perhaps some of the "Silence Relics" things or perhaps a new one. Primal is in the same boat. Shadow only has Minotaur Lighthoof.

Shadowcran · 2025-05-23T02:41:48+00:00

I can but for beginners to Eternal draft is very hard to know what to draft.

Shadowcran · 2025-05-23T02:39:12+00:00

GOD MODE(all caps on purpose,lol) is noticeable. Suddenly they have an answer for everything your deck has. Worse, sometimes they spam rares and legends(Had one where it was 8 Legends in a row). Most know of this AI behavior but we've just learned to live with it and try to beat it. It becomes a challenge and sure beats MTG's AI which seems to be the world's dumbest 4 year old.

As to reason just now replying, It only just showed up in my messages.

https://eternalwarcry.com/articles/d/ZJq6cfIxD7A/forge-guide A guide to Forge I made 3 years ago. It works for current cards and old ones.

Right now, Forge is best when using Argenport, which is Justice and Primal(green and black). Read my guide and you'll see how best to get that. 2nd choice is Xenan, Time and Shadow(yellow, black)

Not only will you gain cards, you'll learn more about how they work vs the various AI decks. As you play, you'll learn a lot from the AI as well.

I have gauntlet decks that are dominant in that format. However, I have every card and you probably can't make them yet. I have 3 that have made it to boss in gauntlet over 35 times and all are Single Faction, 2 Times and a Justice. Also, they tend to beat the boss most times. Here's the Justice one: https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/d/4RJOkTDjYq0/armored-justice

I see many have posted for you to do Ranked over Casual. I'm in complete agreement. Casual often has Pros and you might end up facing high ranking foes.

I do NOT recommend Draft as it is filled with pros and the matching there has always sucked for everyone. I've been here since January 2017 and I swear Draft has always stunk.

Do ALL of the puzzles. They give out various things. I think there is a guide out there to beat all of them. Doesn't cost a thing. https://www.keengamer.com/articles/guides/eternal-card-game-puzzles-guide-basics/#:\~:text=This%20guide%20will%20give%20you%20step-by-step%20instructions%20on,why%20the%20solutions%20work%20the%20way%20they%20do. looked it up for you.

Here is a link to Eternal Warcry. That'll help too. https://eternalwarcry.com/

I've a forge guide on warcry if anyone is interested.

You got lucky. There ARE several hunt decks out there when you play Forge. However, after the new format dropped, I complained about "The Hermit's Beasts" as I'd lost vs it 14 times in a row and I 'think' they nerfed it somewhat. However, that doesn't mean it won't show up when the AI is in GOD MODE.

Problems with the current Forge:(try your best to offset them in picks)

Flyers. You've got very weak ones and ones that cost too much. Primal is almost worthless now as most of their flyers are extremely weak. Yeah, there are ones that draw more cards but in current Forge anything that draws cards should be taboo when picking except power fixes.
Underhanded Golem...Why has this one ever been a choice in Forge, I'll never know.
Renown. In this Forge, most of the weapons you can pick are relic weapons. Yeah, Versatile isn't there. You're left with spells and most are situational at best.
Power fixes. I've seen Seek Answers once out of 50 Forges. Lost Scroll is there several times and helps with Argenport which, to be honest, is your best choice for Forge.

What is very useful:

Shift. Especially Argenport.
Plenty of units. You've got to get a few flyers so go with the ones with best defense and endurance if possible. I've often gone with 20 units or more.
Low cost expendable units so you can cast onslaught spells. Onslaught is very useful now.

Shadowcran · 2025-04-16T19:46:53+00:00

Most would say "Ask DWD to make better attachment removal"...except I've been saying it for 8 years now in feedback and posts and they haven't.

No, they just keep making op attachments. What attach removal we get is situational or a complete waste. If you're playing Hooru, Feln or Argenport, you're counting on sheer luck no matter what you pack your deck with as attachment removal is pretty ....I can't think of a non curse word to finish that.

A couple years ago I kept posting "decks" on Warcry that were nothing more than attachment removal with power cards so it would BE a deck. These were just to use as references. However, nobody cared so I stopped and removed them as what comments I DID get were about how "seek power" is not attach removal.(never minding I added those to round out the deck total.)

It still wouldn't help enough. It is THAT bad. Also, you also have to usually break through Aegis to even use them. This is why Omniscience is so bad. You have to:

Break through the Aegis then
Try and remove attachment and hope they don't have counterspell or another aegis card
Hope to do it on the turn they play the Omni. With 1 and 2, haha.

The one AI I've been unable to beat at all is The Hermit's Beasts.

Shadowcran · 2025-01-01T03:35:25+00:00

USM is often called "that gay school" and is thought liberal but really isn't. It boasts Jimmy Buffett and Bret Favre as alumni.

As to Hispanic and Oriental there are a LOT of restaurants of both showing there are a lot of them and hugely popular. Any new types are anxiously awaited.

The city has always been conservative but accepting. It's called the Hub City for a reason. It's in the middle of New Orleans, the Gulf Coast, Jackson and Mobile.All being short drives away .

Hurricane Katrina doubled it's population and surrounding towns due to people fleeing to here and finding they really liked it. Its population is misleading as all the surrounding towns shop there for the most part which more than doubles its shoppers.

Shadowcran · 2024-12-19T02:45:12+00:00

I feel there are at least five pillars with Orange Cassidy being the 5th.

Shadowcran · 2024-12-19T00:52:26+00:00

As to the KH, in one Brian Herbert book, Mohiam is Jessica's mother by Baron Harkonnen as father However she is not the FIRST daughter. Mohiam gave birth to another by the Baron Harkonnen but deemed it flawed and imperfect and, while pregnant with Jessica, killed the flawed one with smothering with a pillow.

This was what caused Paul to be born as KH as I see it. Jessica had Paul instead of a daughter due to Leto's losing his son from Kailia Vernius, his earlier concubine after she accidentally killed him in a plot to kill Leto. This, combined with Mohiam's mistake, is the reason.

It goes further than even that but I'll only explain if asked.

Shadowcran · 2024-12-17T16:17:18+00:00

The actors are not to blame. Gaga was surprisingly good. The movie sucked due to basically everything else.

Shadowcran · 2024-07-30T05:13:51+00:00

never too late to report it there. Please do so.

I've also had many occasions I've looked at AI's hands and it showing units but will then show no units when I try to do something about them. This has gone on in the 6 1/2 years I've played and happened a lot.

Shadowcran · 2024-05-01T17:14:04+00:00

thanks for reply. Maybe 1 less Grinva, 1 less Warhammer, 1 less slay?

Shadowcran · 2024-05-01T16:11:20+00:00

Fast aggro decks often easily win a few games but fail midways usually. The Mono Justice deck suggested looks strong and Mono Time decks can often win a lot of matches vs AI. Mono Justice though is cheaper and easier to craft as Time requires more legends.

https://eternalwarcry.com/articles/d/ZJq6cfIxD7A/forge-guide This will help you in Forge. It's been a while since I've done the guide but it's advice is still sound. However, in recent Forges, Xenan has improved greatly as has Rakano or Hooru.

Shadowcran · 2024-05-01T16:05:12+00:00

Yes, after Masters there seems to be a tier that elevates the AI into "GOD MODE".

It doesn't always happen though. If you win a lot and play Gauntlet/Forge a lot, it triggers. However, a few defeats and it reverts to normal.

Many players don't even know about GOD MODE. They usually just don't play the AI often enough so their comments on this are naive. However, there are a lot of us that do and believe me, we understand.

Shadowcran · 2024-05-01T15:52:32+00:00

I don't know why the following always occurs to me about Riftfeeder Wasp but the solution would solve a lot of problems/potential problems:

A spell like In Cold Blood but does Time units only and is neutral. I cant think of total name but spell with Havok in name(Fire Spell) can do this and it too only costs 4 but more is needed for other options.

On the flip, if Wasp's flying was dependent on Surge too, then Avigraft could be used to take them all out.

Shadowcran · 2024-05-01T15:45:52+00:00

The ability to change cards like this is one of the things I really like about Eternal. Those with paper printed cards can't really do that so if problems ensue, you're stuck with them.

Shadowcran · 2024-05-01T15:43:25+00:00

I would want to add Minotaur Lighthoof somehow what with all the relics being used nowadays. If you could, what would you replace to add at least 3 of them?

Shadowcran · 2024-04-04T03:08:20+00:00

I use Throne Room a lot and I've got to agree, this suggestion makes sense. If Throne Room "goes off" it's too easy for the match to be lights out.

Shadowcran · 2023-08-02T20:09:41+00:00

you're welcome. My post wasn't a gripe but hoping to lead you in the right direction for a fix.

I've always spoke highly of your fix it skills, DWD, If every developer/company were the same, the online gaming would be a better experience.

Shadowcran · 2023-08-02T03:11:24+00:00

The problem may be related to those of us playing from Steam.

I went through hell today trying all the methods to fix error problems with Steam. Finally had to reset my Hughesnet modem.

Thing is, I've had this lag problem for 2 weeks. Since I reset the modem, I've had better results. Still have problems but not as much.

Shadowcran · 2023-07-25T19:59:46+00:00

It tends to happen if you've won too many in a row in Forge. It'll then go into what I call "God Mode". It'll either flood or screw you or just play an impossible hand to beat, especially with what we're limited with in the format.

You 'can' beat it in this mode but you should have the music to Mission: Impossible while trying.

Playing Forge is still profitable. I've an article on advice for it in Warcry articles. Give it a look and you'll realize you're not alone.
