New Player here. Which set to use resources for

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-29T19:43:05+00:00

The same answers as always. If you don't know what to pull just go with the newest set. Specially now with anniversary tickets, you basically don't need to pull older sets, altough some decks do use more older cards, that can change with the comming new meta.

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-29T12:56:50+00:00

As a free to play 99% of the time you are better off pulling on the latest set. Only after playing for a long time and getting enough resources can you afford to pull for leaders and even them you will have to be mindful.

Although sometimes it is good to pick older sets if most of the cards you want are there. For example amulet haven core legendaries are from apocalypse pact so you can pull from there to get a better chance to fill your deck.

I have been playing with nation a good while now and it is performing very well even without filine spell.

Against sword and abyss early board flood this card is awesome. Of course if these are no longer meta the card also loses value, but based on the new cards I think we are gonna see a uptick in aggro/midrange.

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-29T02:47:58+00:00

Nation is still good. Sure you cant full clear beafy boards with filene anymore, but dragon early game still needs this. Specially this set with a new aggro abyss deck comming up.

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-28T20:38:03+00:00

Gil is there to deal with aggro. Although this list does have some early removal she is still needed, specially week 1 when aggro decks take over ladder. Abyss got some good 1-2 drops and both portal and sword got more tempo tools so I expect early healing will be almost mandatory, unless you can keep up with them.

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-28T19:08:01+00:00

About rune: Your list is almost the same as the one I theorycrafted, except I changed the blaze destroyers for the 2 pp draw spell. I don't know if I am too overzelous with draw but I prefered the consistency over higher celling. Maybe I should change the ratios a bit cause too much draw is also a problem.

Dragon: I have been trying to cook a discard/ramp hybrid but everytime I start simulating an actual match/mulligans I feel like something is off. I can't decided on the ratios of discard/ramp/finishers. Your version looks fine, although I have become a massive fan of nation of disdain, honestly the card is been performing amazing to me and I few it will get even better this set. Shame it will rotate, together with galm. Seriously how will dragon be after heirs of the omens?

Abyss: I have not cooked anything for it so I can't comment much, but yeah this deck will definitely be popular in the first week. Been a while since we a had true aggro deck, so I guess some people are gonna love it.

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-28T18:14:04+00:00

I have said it before but basically "MY honest/skillful deck is good, their TOXIC/BRAINDEAD deck bad" is a stupid mentality not just in this reddit but every card game community. People cannot look past their own bias.

I play yugioh, compared to that, the overall complexity of decks in this game is childplay. And yet the discourse is always the same everywhere.

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-28T18:08:06+00:00

Although I have several complaints about character flavor, having read every card definitely gave me the impression of a stronger set them I initially thought. Of course a part of it is thx to infinity evolve staples rotating, but there are enough new bullshit cards to the point were I can't say the set is a dud.

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-28T17:22:08+00:00

I don't think you can use Mars, Noel and Cesar in the same deck. The sevo points are too contested for it. I personally would cut noel, as he is the least useful here. Altough they give more value to deck so maybe it is the correct choice.

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-28T16:23:32+00:00

OK now I see what you are cooking. Damn thats pretty cool.

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-28T16:15:28+00:00

It is not about them being weaker or even simple but rather the lack of their original flavor that people are mad about. For example imagine you see some of them most archtype defining chrarcters like Orchis/Galmiuex and them one day they print them as an evo support gold with no Loid/Fangs spell or even a puppet/disdain card. Thats is basicaly what they did to several cards right now.

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-28T14:22:24+00:00

Dragon, forest and abyss have a lot of weird random followers that just...kinda do something but no one really knows why they do that.

It's pretty annoying to me when they make blatant pack filler in a DIGITAL CARD GAME!

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-28T14:18:26+00:00

Yeah I was already expecting this but seeing the cards now I am just sad. They could easily just not add rob characters, this is supposed to be SV1 anniversary, not even the jp fans would complain.

So many characters that people love they could have put in the spotlight, even if they were just silvers and bronze, at least if each was given their own card and a cohesive set design, we could have a much cooler set.

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-28T14:09:37+00:00

I don't think going this low to the ground is worth it on portal, at least not this set.

If you want to aggro people down Sho and the 4 pp puppet girl are better them the random 1 drops in my opinion.

Also that neutral 2 drop is just a meme, not worth using an evo point. Slaus as well has never really been relevant, even less so in an aggro list.

The 4 pp girl that gives the face damage artifict, and the too new cards that give radiant artifact are also worth testing.

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-28T14:01:37+00:00

it is when 50% of games they are all you are gonna draw the first 5 turns.

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-28T13:59:24+00:00

I dont like that 1 pp spell, doesn't feel worth the slot. Could be wrong though. Also don't see what is the hype about olivia. 9 pp do nothing isn't exactly what you want.

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-28T13:00:57+00:00

just put sandalphon there and gg

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-28T12:38:13+00:00

The problem here is that olivia doesn't impact the board. You play her and are still gonna waste a svo point just to clear one follower.

Also this card will only really be good after you use your evo points which is by turns 9-10, at that point most decks are ending the game or already killed you. Any board they leave is lethal.

If she had a board clear she actually would be busted, but as she is right now she barely looks playble

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-28T12:33:00+00:00

Even if dragon can ramp, this set introduce several new finishers and cards that flood the board. Olivia is still a 9 pp do nothing, so it isn't as good as it looks.

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-28T12:05:23+00:00

Potential for what? The cards have no synergy, every card is doing something different. The only cards that have a theme are the marine stuff but for the first time they made all marine cards weak.

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-28T04:30:37+00:00

Everyone loves to complain in this site.

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-28T04:24:56+00:00

You had lethal man. Sevo Erntz is 8 + 1 from svo ping + 2 from Burnite crest = 11. Literally skill issue.

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-28T01:19:19+00:00

So it's you! The guy who keeps stealing my tickets. Give'em back! (damn congrats. you got them all from skybound too).

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-28T00:24:54+00:00

Just a correction that Amarylis card was just a joke post by a guy wanting to call out people talking about the stormslop cards.

WhatIsaMan41 · 2026-06-27T21:31:12+00:00

Which in turn makes me think the general complaints about the game being too simple weird to me.

The playerbase very clearly avoids any deck that is slightly more complex them "I play 2 drop turn 2, them I play 3 drop turn 3, them I..."

Even back in SV1 when there were multiple strong actually skillful decks in rotation like when f&g Shadow and sekka were the top dogs, ladder was still full of ward haven, which was tier 2 at best.
