| Evenhanded Golem--is it time to set it into the sun? Posted: 29 Mar 2021 07:14 AM PDT So...seeing the results of yesterday's tourney...is it time to set evenhanded golem into the sun? See, the thing is, as time passes, the drawbacks of running an "even only" deck get less and less. With set 9, wasteland broker removed the primary conceit of evenhanded decks--no market access. Thankfully, that card got nerfed to at least die to Jekk/Kenna and not make it so overbearing as a market access utility unit. However, VINE GRAFTER, on the other hand, is indeed a unit that goes much further into removing both weaknesses of evenhanded decks: A) No market access B) Behind on tempo by not being allowed to play on curve. When you can just slam a vine grafter on turn 2 (or 3, if you slammed golem), that weakness of losing tempo early on and getting snowballed on just vanishes. Add in Grenahen (who I will continue to refer to as AngryChicken because I miss my old teammates on OND), and, we see where this is going. But IMO, this is more a symptom and example than saying "this or that card is imba, nerf". That is, as time passes, we're only going to get more and more good even-costed cards. Sometimes, they might even have an odd alternative cost somewhere, such as Tamarys's shift that allows evenhanded decks to play "on curve". Ultimately, what it boils down to is that there's a unit that doesn't care about your influence, draws 2 cards for 2 power (and this is VERY important because it makes 2 power hands that much more of an easy keep), and can trade with early-game units such as snowcrust yeti. Couple that with other utility units that stonewall aggro (whether it's grenahen and vinegrafter, or who knows what else in the future), even-costed market access, and at some point, the weakness of running "even only" is going to be a mere formality, while the upside of an unconditional "2.5 for 1" will remain. And yes, this is more than a 2-for-1. Golem is not just "2-cost wisdom", but an actual body. My question is: is it time to do what needed to have been done long ago and make golem a 4 power card so that, at the least, we no longer have the case of "turn 2 golem, snap keep"? Edit: copying and pasting /u/eternalburnout23 's comment:
Can we please stop sacrificing more cards on EHG's altar? Severin, Spellshaper, and god knows what else. Stop Alessi'ing around it. 3 strikes. It's time to end this charade, DWD. Send golem to the same place as soulfire drake, steward of the past, bulletshaper, Telut, etc. etc. [link] [comments] | ||

| Top 5 sets/campaigns to spend gold/real money? Posted: 28 Mar 2021 01:27 PM PDT Hey all, Newbie here but been playing daily for about 2 weeks. I'm just curious what most people find to be the best/most worthwhile sets and campaigns to get. I mostly play gauntlet and have a green deck that was recommended to me on discord. I also got Awakening for the ascending units. I'll probably get shadows of the spire next (heard it's a good one). So what are your top five sets/campaigns? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 28 Mar 2021 03:05 PM PDT Hey hey hey, its me again about to do and endless QQ about decisionless straightforward valueful decks! Last year I didn't play the game competitively thanks to kyra existing (tbh I quited eternal cuz of him). The first year I almost stopped playing thanks to reanimator. This ECQ I 2 0'd all of my opponents until top 8 where I could only win one. Who stopped me? A reanimator (hate it as hell but if it was a kyra I would just have quited again probablly). There is not much more than hasn't been said in my previous posts (the oldest one, felrauk is already here, vara and azindel also) but I'll go again. Stop creating decisionless infinite value cards, sling doesn't need a great pilot just the card, neither kyra and don't get me started on reanimator this last one recieved so much love (while other combos were literally dismantled). I don't know if my games were streamed but if it did I hope you guys can watch it later, I think I made 0 mistakes in my entire run, and yeah its a card game, loses can happen anyway, but outplaying your opponent should usually be rewarded, losing the next turn when your opponent had 0 cards the previous feels like sheet. as I said in previous posts DISCARD IS THE MOST EFICIENT DRAW METHOD IN ETERNAL, reanimator will always be easy to play and a pain to counter since you have to include specific cards just for it. This kind of decks doesn't reward you for outplaying, doesn't reward you for good decisions just for beign lucky and drawing the correct way, yes, most decks can be described this way the problem comes when its hand by hand with infinite value. With popo we came with 2 ideas, his genious mastermind combo which was really fun and my solid meta-counter deck on which I think I had 100% winratio against feln during my entire run. A solid deck, 8 plunders (the reason I came back into the game <3) never got screwed thanks to them, always outplayed my enemy and lost to a guy who just steamrolled me (WITHOUT AZINDEL AND WITHOUT POWER ABUSE FROM VOID) with a amazingly lucky topdeck -2 even golems into a exploit for my ChoCuning into big vara- I do understund these decks fail when they don't get their key card but WE SAW A ECQ WHERE THE FINALS WERE 2 REANIMATORS, I really dislike the fact that decisionless infinite value decks can be so solid. TLDR: Reanimator is the only combo that wasnt destroyed for some reason and I have to repeat this in every post, this is not healthy, destroy all or let them exist. Infinite value decisionless decks should not exist, they are unhealthy and feel horrible to play against. My rant is over, have a great day, life is beautiful but not as much as you uwu.

| Posted: 28 Mar 2021 12:10 AM PDT I haven't been playing for a long time. Do they still do the Hero Events or have a preset format for it? That was one of my favorite times of the game. [link] [comments] | ||
| Return to game, 3/4s of my decks can't be played. I'm confused. Posted: 27 Mar 2021 08:18 PM PDT I haven't played in over a year. I was bored of Arena so I jumped back in. Playing on Throne most of my decks are grayed out with an X. When I open them to edit there's nothing obviously illegal in them so I have no idea why they aren't playable. I'd understand if all my decks were unplayable but some still are and it seems entirely random. So, what did I miss? [link] [comments] |
