| Posted: 23 Apr 2021 01:16 PM PDT This needs to be said, sadly: the players in this community kinda suck. I've been playing for years now, and not only do players often insult you and rope, they frequently taunt you after victory. Here's a situation from a moment ago: I'm playing a meme deck and I'm going against tiered decks. That's totally fine; I've chosen to play this janky pile of cards and try to combo kill with 'Blow the Dam'. The last 5 matches, I've lost. Again, understandable, but I'm enjoying playing the cards. But after every match, I'll say 'Thanks for the Game' and am greeted with any of the following: 'BWAHAHAHAH' , 'Very Impressive' , 'Oops'. And these 5 matches aren't aberrational. I very rarely get back a thank you greeting or a good game greeting variation. Call me an oversensitive guy, a noob, whatever, but if this game is to survive, the player base as a whole needs to change. I like this game a lot, but I fear that the player base is dissuading people from sticking around, and honestly, I don't blame them. Please, eternal influencers, try to push players to be courteous and friendly. The community needs more of that. [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 23 Apr 2021 12:29 PM PDT Forge is a format that has the following advantages:
*Don't get me wrong, I love draft. But for a new player it's like throwing them in the deep end of a pool and expect them to learn to swim or drown. Draft's terrible MMR makes this even worse as bronze can expect to play someone as high as Masters at times.
The first and most important advice I can give is to try to get Justice as one of the 2 factions you get. In Forge, you MUST pick from 2 factions BUT you can wait til turn 6 to pick your second one. As to Justice's "companion faction" all 4 are very strong with the best changing every set. For example, Hooru(Justice/Primal) was the best when this game started. It has shifted several times with all taking their turns at the top. Now, Combrei(Justice/Time) is better. Why Justice? Balance and playability. You have far more answers to problems with Justice. It is also the better mixed of the factions in regards to Forge. That does not mean it's the strongest faction in Eternal, just forge. In Forge you select 25 cards(almost 2 packs worth) for your deck. 15 cards are automatically given to you as power, with 4 x the Seat of your two factions. Most of your cards will be common and uncommon with rares and legends more varied. Some have only 1 rare, some 2 and some legends and SOME, very rare, will give you 2 legends and 2 rares. I think I still have a screenshot somewhere for those who doubt the 2 and 2. The level of the AI depends on how much you've played the format. If you're just starting, you can probably win 7 easily. However, once you reach "Masters" it will get progressively harder to the point you wonder "How can I beat this. I had no chance." It's a feature of the game and works the same way in Gauntlet Masters. The trick is to play through at least two matches vs the AI and just accept your lumps. You can offset Forge losses by this increased MMR by going to Gauntlet and losing there instead. What should you seek to grab from the cards offered?
*It can often come down to a war of attrition in this. This means you simply outlast the AI until they run out of cards without you running out first. Combrei decks are the best at this.
What about if you can't select justice? This sometimes happens. Feln, or Primal/Shadow, tends to be the next best choice but Xenan(Time, Shadow) or Praxis(Time, Fire) are close too. This is not to say you can't win with the others but the choices for them, especially Elysian, tend to make your job a lot harder. To be continued. Aggro can whip butt but tends to falter around match 4 or 5. It's a tendency, not something that happens every time. A good mix of it is the better option. Trade offs should be sought in the early going. This is where you block/attack to keep things even. The AI loves to flood units on the board. Try for some endurance. the Ai tends to love using "stun" type spells. It's a lot harder in today's forge to obtain any. I have no idea why except maybe the newer sets haven't been giving us much.

| Farming Eternal Ep92: Follow up (not) 5 color draft Posted: 23 Apr 2021 09:14 AM PDT Welcome to Ep. 92 of Farming Eternal. This week Patrick and HatsonLamps bring the long-awaited follow up episode to how to draft 5 colors where HatsonLamps and Patrick do a 48-card draft explaining exactly how to get into 5 colors. Patrick is unfortunately not convinced HatsonLamps is committed to forcing 5 colors in this draft. In fact, HatsonLamps seems at points to be downright trying to dissuade Patrick from train-wrecking the draft. It is probably disingenuous of Patrick to even have the words five color anywhere near this episode. Oh, and the format changed since this was recorded. We do have that classic Patrick and HatsonLamps card reading and banter, though. If this is your first-time hearing about the podcast, you can send your 7-win deck lists by email to farmingeternal@gmail.com or post them in the discord. (link to join the discord is below). Thank you to all the players for submitting your decks this past week.
