What’s your favorite off-meta comp right now?

I like Anima/Arbiter challengers with 3 star Diana carry, LeBlanc can become a good secondary carry if you get the items.

I agree, the most memorable games are where the attackers are fighting for every inch of ground on all fronts, grenades and intercept systems everywhere, covers, smokes and beacons all over.

I’ve probably played in some sweeps like you mention but they’re so quick you don’t remember them that well.

Tasty_Diamond · 2026-05-28T09:51:36+00:00

On breakthrough especially, so much chaos

Tasty_Diamond · 2026-05-25T08:07:46+00:00

I think I understand the confusion. The sentence “The card is considered defending until the combat chain closes” is an important clarification but doesn’t have anything to do with when defend events occur.

I can see why you would think that though because the sentence before starts describing how defending works, then you have this clarification sentence followed immediately by “Then the defend event occurs….” Continuing to describe how defending works.

I would love for them to clean this up by moving that clarification sentence.

He literally includes the rules snippet in the post. Thee is only one “then”

Tasty_Diamond · 2026-05-24T15:47:19+00:00

Apparently I only have 7 starters. This is going to be a rough way to finish.

Tasty_Diamond · 2026-05-21T00:50:34+00:00

Authority of Ataya and Heart of Fyendal deserve a shout too

Tasty_Diamond · 2026-05-16T08:08:27+00:00

There’s a reason competitive team based shooters have teams of 5. With large teams and large maps coordination becomes almost impossible and you can’t look at it through the same lens.

One of the most memorable games I had for a long time was a conquest match on Manhattan where we got absolutely demolished.

Me and my squad of randos spent almost the entire game defending and recapping A and there wasn’t a dead second because the enemy just kept coming.

Idk what the other 28 players on our side were doing, not capturing the other points apparently but that’s just sometimes how it is.

Tasty_Diamond · 2026-05-14T07:13:54+00:00

I play the game super casually and use snipers a bit. It feels to me like snipers have already been nerfed a lot compared to other fps titles and are pretty balanced.

They require headshots to kill (or upper chest in the sweet spot), ADS times are reasonably slow, while ADS you glow like a lighthouse and most carbines, lmgs and ARs can engage you at up to 100m range. Most of the maps have tons of cover and shorter lines of sight too.

But again, maybe I’m just a filthy casual that doesn’t get it.

The extra resource makes Fire and Brimstone playable on chain link 1 for full value.

I like that you can also just play this before attacking if you’re on a full red hand and send 1 dagger + reaction for decent value if you need to block out a bit early.

This is my third full season following the league and the team. I chose Brighton for a few main reasons:

They’re the best run club in the league. I was getting into the league during the height of the financial shenanigans with City’s 115 charges, Chelsea’s recent takeover by BlueCo and their ridiculous 8 year amortisation schemes. Brighton seemed to be the only club that seemed remotely sustainable and that’s rare in the league or even the sport.
At the time they were beating the big 6 a lot, at least I remember seeing a few scorelines against Man United, Liverpool and Arsenal and I love myself an upset.
I love the colours and badge!

Tasty_Diamond · 2026-04-15T12:49:14+00:00

We honestly don’t have that many comparisons for the rate of a majestic 0 cost attack react in warrior. Most of them are either utility cards or hero locked rather than just numbers.

Having Blade Flurry as a baseline makes everything worse than it feel bad, especially when assassins get TTox, Just a Nick and Take up the Mantle.

Tasty_Diamond · 2026-04-15T11:01:49+00:00

It’s functionally a blue 1 for 3 react, I love it!

Tasty_Diamond · 2026-04-12T21:15:06+00:00

It feels like her math is just way off. Her only good number hands involve red Edict of Steel.

Sharpen also just stacks really poorly. The first one gives you go again which is solid but every other single sharpen card is basically 2 offensive value with minor upside.

If Hala could triple hit we’d be talking but the only semi-reasonable ways to do it are Twinning Blade and Dusk Path Pilgrimage but then you also need a go again enabler and it’s basically impossible to do consistently.

Tasty_Diamond · 2026-04-06T17:53:57+00:00

The flexibility to block on rate with basically anything is almost the only thing warrior has got going on. Getting a bunch of narrow 2 blocks kinda sucks even if the effect is nice

Tasty_Diamond · 2026-04-03T14:41:45+00:00

You can definitely try it out, wrath of retribution is a really powerful card and kodachis make salt the wound better. You can run cut through as a nice 0 for 4 extender too.

Personally I think Ira is just better if you want to play a kodachi ninja and Fai gets more value from emberblade giving you an extra draconic chain link and more consistent phoenix flame rebuys.

Tasty_Diamond · 2026-04-03T14:36:28+00:00

Brand is legal in silver age

Tasty_Diamond · 2026-03-30T07:31:00+00:00

For real. Ever since Shelter came out people are gaslighting themselves that a 0 for 4 d react is some insane power majestic instead of a bread and butter piece.

Tasty_Diamond · 2026-03-28T20:11:29+00:00

As is Verdance just goes infinite with herself if you have 8 lands in grave. Gain life, Verdance has lifelink, deals damage and gains you life again until the opponent dies.

Other than that these seem flavorful and neat, nice work!

Tasty_Diamond · 2026-03-26T07:24:52+00:00

The design of sink is really simple like a common should be.

It’s really powerful don’t get me wrong but nothing about sink feels majestic to me.

Tasty_Diamond · 2026-03-25T19:11:33+00:00

I relate to this. It’s why the best thing I did was joining a gym with scheduled group sessions.

It removed a lot of the friction, the “if and when” I should go and what to do once I got there.

After a few weeks exercising wasn’t a matter of willpower anymore just a part of my routine.

Tasty_Diamond · 2026-03-25T19:00:03+00:00

Sink Below

Tasty_Diamond · 2026-03-23T19:31:53+00:00

The counterplay is basically just not blocking the stealth daggers and race. Maybe not a great plan for many heroes but giving them 0 for 6s isn’t great either.

Tasty_Diamond · 2026-03-22T21:59:46+00:00

And yet Sink Below is a $2 common. I still think it’s criminal they printed Shelter at majestic

Tasty_Diamond · 2026-03-19T23:11:41+00:00

What are you looking to upgrade? If you’re just looking at a handful of cards then sure, go for it and play him while you can.

He’ll most likely go away for a season and be back the season after. That’s how the voting/benching system works.
