The card I remember the most from this game was Confessor Mildred. It’s ability was “Pay 2 mana, destroy Confessor Mildred-> destroy target ability.” You’d activate the effect by paying the cost of 2 mana and destroying the card. Then your opponent would activate an effect to destroy Mildred, trying to negate the effect. You’d spend the next 5 minutes trying to explain to them that they can’t destroy Mildred because it was already destroyed and that their isn’t (at the time) anyway to prevent Mildred’s effect. You needed a judge every time because nobody believed you Also, Leeroy was in every agro deck at the beginning of the game. You’d hear people yelling Leeroy Jenkins all day at events

This game was absolutely wild. Best TCG I've ever played. There was a "meta", but the fun part about this game was that you could play whatever the heck you wanted. Any strategy was viable enough to win games. I remember one game I played with a friend that last for more than 3 hours (1 game out of 3, we didn't even have time to finish it). My deck was DK bullshit control that had both late game threats and the damn ring that destroyed heroes. His deck was some insane druid build that simply stalled the game completely and reshuffled his GY in his deck so he was just waiting for me to mill out. (I also had that quest, but I could only use each once, while he replayed them) It got extremely tense when I played the ring and he only had one single equipment destruction card and he spent all his 20 mana in search for the damn card just to cast it with the last two and continue to extend the game.

@rousedrabble Жыл бұрын

On Sava'gin the Reckless, Rarran appeared to read its stash effect as possibly targeting his own allies. "Random opposing hero or ally" is different than "random opposing hero or friendly ally". A land with either a small upside or a big upside, with no chance at a downside, is way better than a land with an equal chance of upside or downside. I feel like he probably guesses closer without that misunderstanding.

In HS blizzard would also have a line about not gaining mana crystal too, but it would still be toxic being so low mana and lasting more than a turn.

@Noobie2k7 Жыл бұрын

I feel like the game would be radically different though if it contained ongoing spell cards. As there would have to be cards printed that interacted with them. Though knowing Blizzard they'd print a single understatted Epic neutral minion at like 4 mana that destroying Ongoing effects and think that's enough.

@dewdodu Жыл бұрын

@@Noobie2k7 Technically, there was counterplay in that pure hero base deck could shrug it off but it was still described as one of the best mage spells ever printed. However different the game is it's a very powerful tech card for a very cheap price, 2 mana resources to activate the effect alone would be pretty decent that cheaper, and better than the cone of cold in a game where it cost 1 card to get a mana resource. Even if you do counter the effect its at least 1 for 1 and doesn't deal with the fact your minion and possibly your hero. The ongoing effect cost is optional, the spell is small enough that you can do other things within the same turn,it pings things, and it has strong resiliance to counter play. It's also in a class that you can expect to have a ton of burn spell. At the end of the day if the company tried to balance it with other card it most likely make the game unplayable.

Considering the massive restrictions when it comes to deck-building, that abilities, weapons and allies must be compatible with your chosen hero, I get the strong feeling that this TGC was mainly designed to sell booster. A big amount of boosters. Imagine starting out with two heroes available to you and you only pull cards you can't even put into your deck. While the gameplay system is certainly okay, the deck-building is just ridiculous.

Hey Rarran, idk if you ever heard about the DragonBall Super card game(the best game ever). It’s super fun and pretty much plays like if magic, yu-gi-oh and pokemon had a baby. My point is you should test yourself on cards in that game and see if you can find the difference between the good and the bad. A really cool feature about the game is we have leader cards that you synergies your deck around so you could also see if you can tell a good leader apart from a bad one.

@TrueNargin Жыл бұрын

When I saw the Hearthstone card I was like "This is either unplayable or mandatory in every deck". In theory you can just see how the first game goes and if you're losing play Hearthstone to accept the L and autowin next game. The problem I saw is that you're giving up a slot in the deck to a card that only help you if you already lost and is a dead card if you didn't but I imagine if the effect was cheaper it could potentially have been an autoinclude in all decks.

@Dreadnote-pf7of Жыл бұрын

Interesting thing about WOW TCG resources is that in general it was a lot more loyal (atleast in theory) to this "tech" space cards, because there are a lot less time when card is real dead weight to you because... Well, atleast you need to play your resources :) So yeah, this still couldn't save many interesting cards from being unused (again, you don't want to bring card that you want to play just as a face-down resources), but it something.

Not to mention it's a location so it can actually be interacted with and removed unlike a hero power.

For the random target, you just number all the possible targets and roll a die with at least that many sides; reroll if you roll higher than the highest target.
