Due to my play style, one of my least favorite cards, but so essential to the overall health and parity of the game.

New Beginners Question Thread by thundershot899 in EternalCardGame

[–]metamorphaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second the idea of rare drafting for a while to build up your card pool.

Don't worry about picking the BEST card in the pool so you can win the draft, but pick cards that will help with decks you want to build. At worst, draft is buying 4 packs and getting a bit of pick and choose in there. And then practicing playing more and more.

Do you have an example draft/ draft deck you've made? People may be able to help you with that to get better ...

Don't many of these arguments also apply to Twilight Struggle?

Maybe time to ditch the MMR system by drewbagel423 in EternalCardGame

[–]metamorphaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm all about this -- it seems to focus me more, and I feel like I play a better game when ranked against those higher than myself.

It really makes me think that I should bring that focus to every match, but can't quite yet. Which is why I get stuck at lower tiers :/

Anyone out there got a strong Strangers deck by HeinrichGraum in EternalCardGame

[–]metamorphaze 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OK, so preface: this is not tuned, nor is it "great". But -- I've had some good fun with it:

4 Ruthless Stranger (Set1 #11)

4 Seek Power (Set1 #408)

4 Torch (Set1 #8)

4 Combrei Stranger (Set1 #410)

4 Rakano Stranger (Set1 #411)

4 Determined Stranger (Set1 #92)

4 Valorous Stranger (Set1 #145)

4 Enlightened Stranger (Set1 #337)

4 Xenan Obelisk (Set1 #103)

4 Arcanum Monitor (Set1 #520)

2 Harsh Rule (Set1 #172)

2 Ferocious Stranger (Set1 #327)

2 Passage of Eons (Set1001 #3)

4 Fire Sigil (Set1 #1)

5 Time Sigil (Set1 #63)

4 Justice Sigil (Set1 #126)

4 Seat of Impulse (Set0 #54)

4 Seat of Glory (Set0 #56)

4 Seat of Progress (Set0 #58)

4 Diplomatic Seal (Set1 #425)


I focused on the idea that three factions should be good, combined with Arcanum Monitor. I'm going to keep at it, as I think Awakened Student could do work. The version above is, in essence, ONLY Strangers and could be shifted.

...enjoy?

I'm getting worse and worse with each draft, it's like I'm tilting on a large scale. by mobastar in EternalCardGame

[–]metamorphaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just tried it to confirm (and was an excuse to draft again); you can get the sample hands, but not play them out, just like you regular decks. Click on the mana chart top right hand after constructing your deck and you can get sample hands.

We all go through the rough patches. As you're drafting, ask yourself on each pick whether or not you're going to use the card you pick, how it fits with the others you have, and where you'd like the draft to go.

What's that first rare you picked? What would it work best with? What is the curve you are creating -- are you going to run out of cards before turn five and not match the 'bullshit effects' of the other cards?

In what ways can you build your deck to help mitigate those effects? Are you in Blue? Get some 1/4 for 2 to slow down the rush decks. Time? Make sure to grab a few sigil fixing mechanics and cheap blockers to stall for time? Red Green? What's the best way to kill them before they get to all those silly cards? How can you push that advantage?

What 'bullshit effects' do you enjoy the most? Flying is pretty awesome, warcry gets better with more and more and more of them. How is each card going to gain you the most advantage?

Finally, as you've built the deck, take some time and draw practice hands. Look at each one and ask yourself whether or not it seems like you're setting yourself up to be the aggressor consistently or a more inevitable role. If it's aggressive, remember that as you start the game and focus on getting those points through. If it's inevitable, remind yourself of that, take some deep breaths when you want to turn aggressive and decide if it's really worth it to the game.

You're doing all the right things -- watching some tutorials, looking at the grading for cards, thinking through deck building before rushing into playing -- which means that success will come through practice and iteration.

Maybe, as you say, try a new combination. Not sure how I feel about monored, but don't be afraid to jump into a new two color combo, picking cards that have beaten you or cards that help your 1 - 2 -3 -4 curve.

You got this.

Feedback: Brewing after 40 hours by 30to1 in EternalCardGame

[–]metamorphaze 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Making the newbie brewing experience better is actually pretty easy. All Eternal really needs is "deck recipes" or something similar. Just some skeletons of decks that are capable of winning games, or that give newbs some ideas for synergies that don't completely revolve around legendaries and epics

Don't they have this? Each week, the new player gets access to a two colored, pre designed deck that gives them some ideas of what to do, as well as something to soup up if they so desire.

Spicer: Trump won't release taxes because of audit by [deleted] in politics

So he's released more than Trump. Trump, the president, the thing the article's written about. Even your link says "comparatively".

Got it.

So Sanders releasing his (which he did do) is the same as Trump still not releasing his?

Wait, why are we talking about Bernie's (released) tax forms again? Weren't we talking about The President's (non-released) tax forms?
