Important Expedition additions

Posted: 14 Dec 2020 12:35 PM PST

Hello and welcome to my review of the important additions to Eternal Draft Packs with regards to their usage in expedition! Without further ado, let's get this show on the road! I'm going to be fairly selective in what I make note of, trying to keep the post a bit shorter.

!!SETS LEGAL!! I want to make this extra noticeable becuase it took me by surprise when reading the card list, but expedition includes cards from Awakening onwards, no Argent Depths or Shadow of the Spire like some people (like me) thought. NOTE: After reviewing the actual contents in the draft pack, it's safe to say what's in there includes all of Argent Depths, so I won't go into any of the Argent Depths additions.

SWEEPER WARNING: Control players are shaking in their boots right now (me included) at the thoughts of possibly having no 5-cost sweeper in Expedition. Be sure to search through the new set, of course, just in case there's a new one being released.

Cycles:

Standards are in for all you who want to max out at 5 power and want useful cards instead of power!
1-cost market spells are in still, so you'll have plenty of options as to how your market access shapes up
Edicts are back! A great way for you to deal with tough-to-answer cards from specific factions for quite cheap costs
Original merchants are sidling up and asking for you to browse their wares!
Kaleb's/Vara's etc favours are in
Touch of X cycle is in, most importantly Touch of Battle for deadly

Fire

Coalscrounger is here if you want a grenadin booster; +1 attack for only 2 power is quite nice
Combustion Cell for any of those who may wish to replicate Kennadins in expedition
Conflagrate is in as your new sear-that-can't-go-face
Factory Quota is great tech against control or lifegain decks as aggro
Flash fire for the very large smack in the face it provides
Inner fire if you ever have a lot of power and grenadin, but want infernuses
Pyrroknight is in for all fans of Fire Aggro
Rally to me!
Shiftstone processor may be a part of a combo, we'll see
Midias for those Big-Fire lovers out there
Groundbreaker for sentinel lovers

Time:

Yes, Arcanum Hourglass is in for all you vow abusers
Azurite Prixis is in, the most overpowered 0-cost relic there is!
Copper Conduit is a possibly very important card for sentinels
DIVINING ROD: very fun card, wonder if there's a viable combat skill to put it on
Friendly wisp for some time-draw
Predator's instinct to fight with your big fatties
Shield of the Line for minotaur/soldier decks
Swirl the sands for good quality flying/relic removal
Gear Master (who is also a solder) for some card draw for sentinels
Striking Snake formation is a very potent effect to make sure you can break a boardstall in the way that most benefits you
Praxis Arcanum if you ever want to Boost out some units

Justice:

Gavel. Graveyard hate
Citywide ban for those who would like to remind their opponents that only you can play win conditions
Curfew enforcement helps Valkyries stabilise a board by shrinking it
Golem Press to manufacture units
Treasury gate for armoury enthusiasts
Mercy of Kodosh looks pretty good in the age of treasure troves
Svetya's Sanctum for all you control players

Primal:

Frostwave is in if you want to stun a lot of units
If you want to muster up some courage, Greenstretch Empath is in! (with quite the boost to draft rates too)
Lightning strike for some defensive removal
Numbing cold to annoy your opponents
Rain of frogs for hand/deck hate
Vargo's pelt if you love transform decks
Mind link too, of course
Torgov's always quite a nice chonker
Channel the Tempest as the classic control finisher

Shadow:

Back-Alley-Delinquent for all you reanimator lovers
Consuming Greed to sacrifice relics
Shadowlands Guide can do a very good job of reviving specific 1-drops, including Copper COnduit
Suffocate for early removal
Impending doom as one of the classic big Shadow flyers
Vicious Rejuvenation for all you reactor-forge fans

Multifaction

Moment of Creation for spells
Unlock the Vault for attachments
Monolith Guardian for sentinels
Pillar of Progress is nice ramp
Auric Record Keeper and Copperhall Elite are both very nice minotaur soldiers to get your hands on
Bring Down bags air units
Rindra's choice is good to quickly shut down multifaction gameplans
Haunting Scream is a community favourite, but at 3 cost it may still be too expensive
Combust is the classic sacrifice-removal
Scraptank is also here for anyone with dreams of grenadins
Rizahn, Greatbow master is here to make an excellent impression for any fan of Valkyries
Rakano Artisan also shores up any armoury deck that can afford to play him
Twinning Ritual is a fun Elysian card that might be quite useful
Inquisitor's Halbert could be quite the relic weapon in a Valkyrie deck
Knucklebones is in - need I say more?
No 3f cards in draft packs.

Quick analysis of upcoming draft pack based on card weights

Posted: 14 Dec 2020 12:45 PM PST

While waiting for the set release, I decide to quickly scan the draft packs and figure out which cards they were highlighting based on the card weights and get some insight on the synergies we might expect in the upcoming format. Here's a rough overview of cards that are 10x and 20x more likely to appear in draft packs.

20x weight:

The common theme in all factions is market access. 3 different market access cycles are represented and all have 20x weight.

Other notables: Leyline Tracer in Time and Greenstretch Empath in Primal

10x weight:

The Standard cycle (e.g. Shugo Standard)
Fire's unit focus is on sentinels and grenadins with supporting cards. It also highlights the amplify mechanic.
Time's unit focus is sentinels and mandrakes with supporting cards (like explorers). It also highlights the amplify and muster mechanic.
Justice's unit focus seems to be soldiers and valkyries with supporting cards (like tinkers). Lots of relics. Also of interest is Vanquish.
Primal's unit focus is unclear. There was a lot of grenadin support in the draft preview, but I didn't see any obvious unit type synergies in the upcoming draft pack. The card weights seem to highlight amplify, spell damage buffs, and muster cards.
Shadow's unit focus is valkyrie and grenadin with support (like tinkers). There are also a lot of weighted relic weapons.
Praxis has a few 10x weighted sentinels
Argenport has a couple 10x weighted valkyries.
