General Game Discussion / Re: The highest strength record

« on: July 28, 2025, 04:12:46 pm »

So 32767 is the hard-coded limit? It wouldn't let me go higher.

Anyway, here's a 25 plies replay:

The questline was fun, the games were overall fairly easy but never too easy. Nice deck diversity as well.
I wonder if it's possible to run the whole gauntlet with a single deck, preferably unupped… maybe I'll try that as a challenge to myself.

There's a text display glitch at the end of the first game by the way.


Edit: turns out I still had one game to go. Same glitch there.

« on: April 26, 2025, 05:19:36 pm »

If Ghostmare is giving you trouble, you could play Sanctuary/Dreamcatcher to negate their entire strategy, or a deck to use their own cards against them. A faster rush, such as an ImmoRush, would work as well. Or you could try quanta denial, Ghostmare decks tend to be light on (pun intended).

Whatever you do, you don't want to play a deck that's both slower and lacking in countermeasures. You want a deck that either blocks the Ghostmare player's game plan, or is unaffected by it.

if submissions at deadline are odd, I'll withdraw to keep R1 matchups even. also, asdw152 will open my packs.

Assuming you will be one of the "pilot hosts":
1) How do you plan on not seeing other players' decks before submitting your own? Since knowledge of other decks will influence your own deckbuilding choices, without you even necessarily realising.
2) I'm guessing you won't be piloting your own deck, right? Since your increased familiarity with it would put it at an advantage when played by you.

« on: April 12, 2025, 07:30:47 pm »

With the new mulligan rules greatly improving combo decks' stability, I guess it's finally time to post this deck.

046ve066u30174a017810177v0177a017at057ee017qu027q9067qb0180b018pm

Golem -> Living Weapon -> Imbue targeting Boomstick in hand -> Golem (again) -> Momentum (if necessary) & Shard of Readiness -> Parallel Universe.
You end up with two golems that can make each other attack the opponent for free, with each attack reactivating their skill (because that's how the game works). In other words, infinite damage at the cost of much clicking.

Credit for the combo goes to Serprex, and to whoever came up with the SoI+Boomstick combo (I can't find the thread).

From the few test games I played, this (rudimentary) version usually wins in 12~16 plies but can sometimes reach 10 plies or less. Some juicy replays:

Before I move on and forget, and wanted to give a shoutout to some of the more interesting decks submitted (and their authors):

Spoiler for Hidden:

BGA_NICE99
— The singularity combo is really neat. A bit too luck-reliant and too easy to counter for a tournament setting, but must be fun to grind with.

BigDieck
— I'm glad I wasn't the only one who tried the great maul / dull khopesh combo! I'm sure that combo has a lot of potential, it's only a matter of finding the right shell for it.
— The gravity shield deck would have probably been more appealing as an earth/gravity duo, but kudos for thinking outside the box.

Hitei
— The chimera scythe combo is another really cool one, I think the deck needs fine-tuning but could be the next big thing.

Niharia
— The material bomb deck was my favourite to actually play, I regret only picking it once during the event. I might actually steal it and add it to my saved decks rotation, if you don't mind :-p.

Septima Rhay
— The mantis deck is neat, but strongly lacking in aether quanta. I often found myself needing 4-5 each turn, but only have 1-2 available. Just letting you know :-p.

Elemensch
— Since you have already requested help to improve your cardinal deck, my advice would be to 1) actually have something to do with your aether quanta, 2) either get rid of the scorpion-momentum combo or focus the deck on it, since the two halves of the deck (goose-wand & scorpion-momentum) don't synergize well together.

pimpollo
— Thank you for submitting an immorush, I love immorushes.

Well done not-Hitei for your victory :-)
