The Power of ST versus TinyDragon

I dont really understand why broodlord hasnt been removed from rank, other runes which are known to be bugged have either been fixed or temporarily banned, the rules seems inconsistent. I dont think SL should be classed as OP due to a bug.

 

I've played versus a good is deck. Most of their power comes from their runes which have great healing, as well as some bonkers runes.

But come on, you can't honestly say that FW has more than 2 or 3 op runes when compared to the top factions - especially if we consider ritual is one of their best utilities soon to be nerfed.

Mid level st rune = high level FW rune, aside from ED, bcs? I just quit because I honestly don't think the game is competitive, and I don't think it is balanced nor designed well atm. Some players may disagree, but honestly idc.

 

I think that is sort of the point - it supposed to be off the top of your head.

Also, I'm not sure skull qualifies as fantastic compared to arctic wail or crystal phoenix.

 

Given that skull makes Phoenix useless for less than half it's cost those 2 are very comparable

 

Skull may make crystal phoenix useless, but that doesn't mean it is better, or that 1 skull shuts down all healing.

I don't agree that skull is that good - you are paying 20 nora for a rune that is extremely easy to play against. Seism screening isn't all that relevant. There are enough counters to FW relics where it isn't reliable to rely on relic heavy decks competitively. Especially ut and defensive graveyard (try it, even kalasle, chief advocate for relics gets upset at trigger and wail)

If you want to say every faction has some op runes, that's fine, but quite honestly FW doesn't have much compared to others.

Also, just saying attrition is really vague. You mean utilizing the FW bonus? Because that thing rarely wins games compared to other bonuses.

 

Can someone please tell me which UD runes are OP as I would LOVE to add them to my BGs!

All recommendations welcome...

;8)

 

If an ability that was created this expansion cycle and is effectively available to two factions is holding the entire metagame in check, this game has some deep, fundamental problems. I'm not a fan of the ritual changes, but I think it's premature to predict that we are entering the era of the skeezick rioter.

re: icefang, I think that rearranging the deck chairs is a legitimate end for the game right now. Even if it doesn't have a huge impact on the meta, it's nice to have a fresh set of OP after a while (though icefang in particular hasn't really overstayed its welcome in the same way that manticore or swarm owl have).

 

How very DARE you!

UNGA BUNGA?

UD is all about elegance and panache.

 

ME UNGA YOU BUNGA

 

I really would play this game and probably purchase things if it was modernized personally. I sort of hope it gets sold to an enthusiast/ company again.

 

And the balance sucks

 

Wats SV?

 

Balance is also pretty incredible atm.

 

Fixed it for you.

 

Awwwwwwwwwwwww...TinyDragon finally lost his #1 title...he should've played ST after all...<sigh>...

 

Well, Tiny is back on top! I did not see his games though. Could anyone tell me what deck he changed to?

 

Plants...interesting...thanks for the answer!

Tiny should really just play ST and steamroll everyone...but then, I guess it would be so boring for him as there'd be no challenge.

 

In theory.
