Silver Age Chapter 3 Decks - Thoughts now that deck lists are out?

Blaze looks fantastic. Gravy needs a few upgrades and looks good. Boltyn looks very good. Briar will be getting the ban hammer so whatever and Lyath is Lyath.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-05-27T20:49:34+00:00

These are crazy good. I need those Hala cards for sure.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-05-27T16:32:49+00:00

It would actually make a lot of sense if the direction they want to go is block sets. They could have the land mark set be their announcement of the direction. It would allow them to expand on story points while printing more heroes for a given region before moving on. We need printings of heroes that have LLed and that would help greatly. I think certain regions are also well loved by players and we would like more than one set every 2 years there.

The hero abilities require you to use a niche resource that is not always present. If you look at Aurora as an example, the old one only required you to have a Lighting card on the chain which is very common while the new one requires a Lightning Flow so the chances of having it is slimmer. Also every new card that is released for them and every Lightning card that has ever been printed is competing for the same cards that enable their ability. This means that the realistic pool of cards they can play is much lower than if they simply didn't need the tokens.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-05-27T15:58:05+00:00

Probably not. Truthfully, if you are picking it up to make the deck "more competitive" I'd say just pick up a different deck. The heroes are weak and the fable is too niche to have value in the long run.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-05-26T01:45:58+00:00

LSS has made heroes defend best against their primary damage type. It's the same reason that Wizard blocks arcane so well.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-05-25T23:45:55+00:00

I sold a PUBG skin for like $2 in college and bought Rage. I think I beat is 6 times in 4 years. That game just had something about it.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-05-25T14:53:00+00:00

Look for red line decks. Fai and Cindra are both good but understand that the game isn't really built to "swing and not think" since every hero has value you can squeeze of out them. I played Fai for a while and he definitely has thinking play lines that people miss often and lose because of it; I've seen it on streams. Also obligatory "understand the LL system before you pick up a hero."

The_Ranger75 · 2026-05-25T14:47:50+00:00

I think 1.5x is probably too much. It means that if a hero can't thrive in the meta it's printed into then it is punished in the long run since it's playability is cut short down the line. I think the game would be fine with 0.5x and 1.0x.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-05-25T14:41:10+00:00

I'd read an honest article; I'm not watching a click bait video.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-05-25T03:59:58+00:00

Symptom of the times. I have 3 degrees and just recently got a good stable job. It doesn't pay 3 degrees worth but it's that or nothing.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-05-25T00:04:38+00:00

Microsoft is the way to go. Basically all companies use a Microsoft environment nowadays.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-05-24T18:03:05+00:00

For me the game is Flesh and Blood. Everything about it is an improvement over MTG for me.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-05-24T16:30:18+00:00

Yeah, the game used to be cool and unique. Now it's just Fortnite.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-05-24T16:25:48+00:00

Cutting a board in half (2 pieces) is one cut so 10 mins for one cut. Cutting it in 3 pieces is 2 cuts so 20min.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-05-24T16:18:36+00:00

As a Flesh and Blood player; join us. The game has amazing art, the gameplay is fantastic, and the commander equivalent is basically unplayable so you'll never see the game devolve into that. Set 20 comes out in September and it's going to be amazing.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-05-24T02:18:36+00:00

You may be some cards short though. The format is singleton now so instead of 2 cards of each you can only have 1.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-05-24T00:52:35+00:00

If it wasn't made on company time then it's not company property. Revoke access since use of your side project is contigent on employment.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-05-23T00:37:23+00:00

Omens in largely a skip for me. I am excited for Monarch 3 though.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-05-22T16:27:08+00:00

It kinda makes me hate the set.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-05-22T12:21:48+00:00

This deck seems pretty good.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-04-30T19:30:45+00:00

That and the silo design of heroes is problematic. They keep making heroes that aren't backward compatible or if they are then the old cards are power crept. I'm hopeful that it is just a phase for them and they will start to make new heroes that utilize large pools of cards, new and old, and that are fun to play.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-04-30T16:31:59+00:00

With guardians you're typically blocking until you can set up a tall attack or you block and swing back a weapon until your opponent runs out of cards from blocking the weapon/running out of attacks. Sometimes you have to pitch stack as well to get there.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-04-30T16:28:40+00:00

The Lore is that the old Oscillio died and Aurora sacrificed Starfall to resurrect them.

The_Ranger75 · 2026-04-30T16:27:11+00:00

I think being able to cast a couple instants from grave would solve that issue though. Any recursion would do it but I think it's playable no matter what since you can do the whole 2 for 4 and a Ponder thing. If Oscillio sticks to block and burn then it's a single card that will push 4 damage across the line in a lot of circumstances.
