Hooray, I feel better. Or at least, half-better 'cause I have to share it :P Plus the system can't show more than one winner, so you wouldn't even know I also won unless you go into the Transparency Report lol
Pureblood Sorcerer brings the Pure mechanic to Mage, in a pretty obvious reference to the racist wizards from Harry Potter. I chose Scholomance for this very reason, although I admit it'd look more "realistic" with a custom watermark.
Chamaleonic Saurolisk makes sense because cards from other classes have different colors, therefore, it camouflages :)
Out of Cards may no longer be around in the form we once knew, but on Out of Games, we're still going to be bringing the competitions around. We've still got a season to finish.
I didn't realize until after I made it that it is a strict powercreep on Blood Herald, but then I really didn't mind that I did that since not only is that card terrible, but this is also a Legendary and a fairly difficult Rune requirement. There's a lot of fun that can be had with an effect like this one if you're able to get it to grow.
I am now also realizing that it's pretty easy to give it Charge because of the Hero Power. Is that problematic? Maybe not.
This is getting saj guys if you're gonna steal from the king at least say so. What's next 30 days from now I look at eternal tier lists and its like copy paste 5 of my decks you run into on ladder?
Can you share with us where you are posting these decklists for other people to steal them from? I haven't seen any of them around here.
This week, our cards are getting bold and brash. But they don't belong in the trash.
Make a card that conditionally gains a keyword (or multiple).
Note that giving a keyword is not the same as gaining it. Cards that give keywords to other cards will not count (unless said card also happens to gain a keyword as well).
As Out of Cards is making some bold moves transitioning to Out of Games, Wailor is asking us to make our own bold moves with our cards as well.
As always, we can be reached through Discord or here on the site via PM if you have any issues to report.

So it's been confirmed that the next Runeterra open is going to be in Eternal to celebrate the unlocking of eternal ladder in 30 days.
One interesting problem tho, with all pro players busy arrogantly dismissing this format nobody actually knows what's good right now.
I might come the closest because I've literally spent all of this season playing and winning in Eternal casual with no ladder available.
But I was masters last season and that was as close as we've gotten to the eternal card pool thus far.
So for all the pro players out there let me illuminate you by starting with updating the old tier lists:
1. Jayce - still a fine deck but the difference from eternal to last season is that aggro got all the tools
2. Elites - also a fine deck but it will feel quite midrange compared to the most aggresive options out there
3. Anna - I'm not convinced anna is better than the new pirate aggro, just the fact that pirotte exists and now you can have a cheap stun outside of Runeterra region, so probably 50/50 for ana vs Samira
4. Ramp - while there were no competitive ramp lists last season except the ones I piloted this is an archetype that has massively advanced with the addition of Jack. Coins, plus trundle, plus auto level for 12 mana, plus regular ramp tools equals a deck that is probably faster then ASOL.
5. Ryze - Another deck that keeps getting better as the card pool expands I wouldn't be surprised to see the winrate of this deck go from 50/50 last season to 53% this season
6. Nora - while there is no such thing as an amazing Nora deck, she shows up in so many lists that I'll just say the Nora deck that gets played this eternal season
7. Sett - sett is one of the best new ionia control tools available he's very strong and there's a decent chance he will have an eternal list worth playing
8. Shadow control - I think shadow control has changed quite a bit from it's previous iterations just because it got new control spells. There's the mini ruination for 6 mana that will help quite a bit with the more aggressive matchups. I will say Heimer has felt very bad for my opponents every time they play that old list into my new aggro decks.
But like that's kind of it, this is all uncharted territories here and it doesn't matter if your name is Majin Bae, or Mogwai, because honestly they will have no idea what the Runeterra Open is going to look like with all their recent standard experience being practically useless.
Here's a list of the games that might give some traction if featured, at least according to my tastes:
Battle brothers, Wartales, Rimworld (+mods!), Jagged Alliance 3 (upcoming), Spaceborne 2 (very active dev and complex game), Age of Wonders 4, Humankind, Distant worlds 2, maybe other Paradox titles.
I see. I'm glad to hear that because when I heard of full launch, I somehow thought of it as full reboot. Still though, I expect card database update to happen one day.
All content from Out of Cards is still here and will still continue to be here. All we did was effectively rename the site. If something was available on Out of Cards, it will still be available on Out of Games.
Card database update is slowly being worked on. Ultimately, it's a very tiny issue compared to everything else that is going on.
Oh my, I can't wait what is in the store. I have two questions to be answered, though, since I didn't notice anything about them being mentioned:
Do I need to backup my decks+guides, in case they were erased during full launch?
Will there be a card database update for both old and new cards in Hearthstone? Ever since MotLK update, card database -especially dual-tribe ones- were outdated.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to hear a response. I'm eternally grateful to be in OoC community and will love to remain still. Keep pressing on, Flux 👊
You can't keep a good community down! No matter what twists and turns, Flux and the gang keep providing a place for us to share, collaborate, vent, and feel part of something awesome!
On the subject of activity (or lack thereof)...yeah. I've been busy with personal stuff on top of just being generally frustrated with my competition-output, so combined I've been less inclined to do much beyond the minimum. I don't know if that's fair to the group at-large, but it's how I've been feeling. At the rate we're goin' there might not be competitions for much longer anyway. I agree it's a shame :/
This happened ages ago, yes standard rotation brought back a few people who like having a significantly reduced cardpool at the cost of shafting anyone who wants to play OG Runeterra making them wait 60 days just for ladder.
Was it worth the trade? Not in my eyes and not in the eyes of many others.
Eternal has its own distinct and complicated meta a fact that will never see the light of day as long as Riot continues to ignore its legacy format.

Probably not a healthy card, but I thought the condition was unique/different so I went for it haha.

I have a couple flavor-heavy cards this week:

Why Eternal Tier Lists Need To Happen

Games since we're Out of Games
Here's a list of the games that might give some traction if featured, at least according to my tastes:
Battle brothers, Wartales, Rimworld (+mods!), Jagged Alliance 3 (upcoming), Spaceborne 2 (very active dev and complex game), Age of Wonders 4, Humankind, Distant worlds 2, maybe other Paradox titles.
Curious to see what other people like :)
Guess who is streaming LoR again?!?!?
Like let's be real here if anyone won as much as me and was right about the direction of LOR as much as me
They would idk open a little 100 viewer youtube channel and pretend they are special.
Instead I have a fulltime and fulfilling career and I win this much and I'm right this much.
Who's in a fantasy world now?
Welcome to Out of Games!
I see. I'm glad to hear that because when I heard of full launch, I somehow thought of it as full reboot. Still though, I expect card database update to happen one day.
Guess who is streaming LoR again?!?!?
No need to be insulting it just means they finally started listening.
It's funny how often my world and the real world keep colliding in a predictive fashion.
Aka being right about the future of an entire card game and format.
Smart ass
