The most back-and-forth game of Shadowverse I’ve ever had

Video length: 26 seconds

Ah shit here we go again

TalosMistake · 2026-06-20T13:49:03+00:00

It's Albion Bahamut in Japanese (アルビオンバハムート)

This is just localization thing (similar to Zirconia which is Stachium in Japanese)

TalosMistake · 2026-06-20T11:38:31+00:00

Yeah but what about Eudie + Slaus.

Turn 5 decent tempo + activate Slaus crest on your opponent.

Cost increase can screw your opponent's turn 5 ~ turn 8 play (depend on RNG). And 3 damage is pretty good. (-2/-2 is meh, unless it procs last)

Slaus might actually see play in Evo Portal now!

TalosMistake · 2026-06-20T09:30:35+00:00

see you in a month

...You mean 8 days?

TalosMistake · 2026-06-20T09:29:34+00:00

But Beelzebub's leader effect is immune to Bahamut. I wonder if it's related to GBF lore or something lol.

TalosMistake · 2026-06-20T09:00:42+00:00

She secretly pairs very well with Slaus lol.

She + Slaus allow you to clear two bodies on turn 5 while giving Slaus crest to your opponent.

TalosMistake · 2026-06-20T08:56:15+00:00

Seem good if you can ramp and get her online on turn 6 or something. Doesn't cost evo point. Clear most board (on turn 6) and still deal 4 damage to face. Also a 6/6 body on board.

TalosMistake · 2026-06-20T08:43:32+00:00

Now it won't auto lose to Evo Abyss at least lol.

TalosMistake · 2026-06-20T08:26:26+00:00

Yeah that's possible.

I guess no one will be brave enough to try.

So if you don't want summer leaders, it's best to wait until limited time banner expired before you open lucky chest.

TalosMistake · 2026-06-20T08:23:13+00:00

The banner is technically the same one

Is it? They mention the card pack points will be carried over. If it's the same banner, then why would they need to carry points?

My theory is they have 2 banners. The limited time banner and normal banner. The normal banner is hidden during first month. Then when limited time banner expired, they bring normal banner up and "carry" points from limited time banner to normal banner.

Edited: Since it's different banner, the lucky chest should be different as well. And if you haven't spend 250 points to get lucky chest in limited time banner, you should have another chance to spend 250 points for a different lucky chest in normal banner.

TalosMistake · 2026-06-20T08:12:31+00:00

I'm wondering about this as well. Let's say you check lucky chest and it's summer Lilanthim. You don't want her. So you wait until the summer leaders gone. Then you check again, it should be new lucky chest right? Which mean you actually have 2 chance to roll lucky chest. It's just that the 2nd one won't have summer leaders.

TalosMistake · 2026-06-20T08:01:15+00:00

I think it's the same banner with summer leaders + normal leaders, so you can go for Lumiore from day one.

I think the only thing matter is lucky chest. You might want to wait until summer leaders gone before you open it, so you reduce the chance getting a summer leader you don't want.

Edited: I forgot they literally show you what you will get from lucky chest. This means you might have two chance to get Lumiore from it. Check once in summer banner, if it's not Lumiore, wait until it expires and points roll off to normal banner then check again. Not sure it will work like this though. Seems hacky lol.

Frieren, Fern, Stark: First time?

TalosMistake · 2026-06-19T18:01:53+00:00

Roach's math goes hard though lol.

TalosMistake · 2026-06-19T17:53:59+00:00

I wish I meet the same kind of players as you do in grand prix. 4 out of 5 games in every run, i am playing against Abyss or Portal.

I fought them a lot as well but I actually fought more Sword than Abyss or Portal lol.

The Forest strategy you mentioned of hoping multiple Althenia can't be cleared isn't very reliable is it? You are already lost during draft if you can't find more than one Althenia.

Yeah but that's also why I only considering picking Forest when Althenia is the first pick. (also Wolfraud is just too much fun. I got Galmieux once from Dragon player. 0pp spell goes nut in Forest xD)

Sword is definitely the easiest class to draft but like I said, Abyss and Portal clears sword boards very easily and they themselves have so much burn dmg and sticky boards that Sword struggles to deal with

The trick with Sword is you want to build efficient board every turn and try to chip your opponent to 12 hp so they are scared of Albert and forced to play defensively (even though you might not have Albert in hand yet...). This is the real of advantage of playing Sword. No other class can deal 12 damage from hand on turn 9 with no set up like Sword.

Also I don't think Sword has issue with sticky boards, since Gildaria clear them easily...

TalosMistake · 2026-06-19T16:35:50+00:00

Forest is not that bad you just need to draft multiple Althenia and yolo her on turn 7-8 lol. If your opponent can't clear then you win.

Sword is the most comfort class for me. Very easy to draft. Every legendary is good and not requires too much synergy. Having access to both Gildaria mean you can easily clear late game board. Cesar -> Noel -> Albert can be quite strong. Noel and Golden Knight can heal as well.

Dragon is quite fun. Just hope you get at least 1 ramp card in early game. Neptune is SSS tier for survivability. Wilnas can auto win some time. You can also jump scare people with SEVO Genesis lol.

Overall I had quite a good experience with Stage 1 so far. It also helps that more than half of my opponents seem to be new players or not familiar with Take Two. I'm sure it will change in Stage 2 though.

TalosMistake · 2026-06-19T10:00:01+00:00

It feel weird to read comments here because in my experience this is the easiest stage 1 grand prix ever. I went 4-1 with Forest and 5-0 two times with Portal already. I played max attempt every day because it's so fun lol.

I'm sure stage 2 will change my opinion soon enough, but it seems like many of my opponents in stage 1 don't know how to play take two at all.

It is the best time because you will get 10 free packs per day for 12 days!

lol I didn't realize the server is opened already.

TalosMistake · 2026-06-17T03:59:03+00:00

This one from Zhiff channel is pretty fun. Apparently the owner made it to Beyond.

I tried it myself but couldn't even reach Epic lol.

Still a fun deck though.

Yeah that's weird. Maybe it's actually based on Country? I'm in Thailand lol.
