General Game Discussion / Re: Silly Match Replays

« Last post by BGA_NICE99 on April 12, 2025, 06:58:54 pm »

My theory is that the AI failed to account for its actual deck count (looked like 47 but was actually 23), or failed to account for your gravity-pulled creature, or both.

Another one. It happened again. It seemed like the AI should deal 60 damage on me, but I only received 30 instead.

Spoiler for Another confusing spell cast:

Also, the previous one seemed to be the same. I got 66 hp, the cast only dealt 23 damage while the AI holding 47 cards in deck.

given the ample 'early' activity on this event, I may move up the deadlines for sign-up/pack opening and deck submission.

As in earlier deadlines? Please don't.

anything else I should do?

1. review your cardpool here
2. you have until deadline to consider what you can build
3. you have until deadline to keep the cardpool or request a mulligan pack opening

given the ample 'early' activity on this event, I may move up the deadlines for sign-up/pack opening and deck submission.

event idea inspired by Turlututu

Huh.

- "Sealed": you have X electrum to buy any packs you want, deck must be made from the obtained cards (+ppm). The actual packs are bought by hosts then traded to you to prevent shenanigans
- etc.

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 :-)

I wish I could define a deck specifically for each matchup

Originally considered this as a deckbuilding + pvp tourney combo, thematically linked, not structurally linked.  What you wish for could work well in a pvp tourney..each player with a unique fixed card pool, build decks/make adjustments based on the opponent.  For db comp, keeping it simpler for battle royale...line em up and smash.

Edit: if players like the sealed pack concept for pvp tourney, we can plan one later on.
