Maybe instead of Side Boards it'd be something like you can make 3 Versions of a deck (with a Core 30 cards that is the same between all 3) and you choose one of the 3 to play. That way it wouldn't increase the time it takes to play by that much but still allow for players to make different versions of their deck for different matchups.
Currently, LoR does have random mulligans, since they would definitely have informed players if it wasn't random.
However, why doesn't LoR make opening hands less random? What if LoR implemented a rule change that when you mulligan a card away you will always draw a card that costs less than it if possible? Given that LoR is online, I see no reason why they would keep Mulligans random when they have the ability to bias them to help the player. They could also do something like make it so that you never get a 7+ cost card in your opening hand, since it doesn't feel particularly fun to get a bricked out hand and be unable to play.
Changed the wording to say improved by Spell Damage instead of affected by Spell Damage and increased the mana by 1 because of the Battlecry targeting enemies. Feel like where it is now is a strong work towards card that would have to utilize Spell Damage minions (which are normally very weak) towards a great payoff. Thoughts on anything needing to be changed before submitting would be greatly apprecaited.
I've had to play the first chapter 3 times due to having 3 accounts (NA, EU, ASIA).
I wouldn't mind the poetry if it was skippable and you could click the "go" button etc before it's read in its entirety. In the end I muted the game and just waited.
Still, it's great to have some free content so a minor complaint.
This has been a new thing I've been doing this expansion because I'm just so tired of so many decks, and sitting there watching their BS turns play out. So when I know I'm going to lose, I just leave the game open on my phone and put it in my pocket so my opponent gets roped on my last turn.
I usually say something like "yeah, you have fun with that buddy" under my breath as I just leave them to their BS. I don't want to grant them the satisfaction of me conceding so they can start a new match.
@ anchorm4n: Maybe something like this? I agree the effect doesn't need to be legendary. It doesn't stack (twice doesn't become thrice) so having two just makes it more consistent. It also isn't that powerful and hard to pull off; something like this is probably destined to be meme-y which is okay. I lowered the mana to 5 since with the randomness it can't be abused as easily. Thanks for the feedback! :)
I don't think this needs "(targets chosen randomly)" or "(targets enemies if possible)". Any targetable spell would just recast at the original target already chosen by the player. The same way Electra Stormsurge works.
But if you do put any text in parenthesis, make sure to make it italic.
I like the card better as a Legendary. I think you should buff it's health if it's a Legendary so it can have a chance to survive and be a game ender. Maybe follow the statline of Kael'thas Sunstrider.
If they do, it would likely still reward you as soon as you got the added quest because you will have already met the goal. I mean, that’s what’s going to happen to those who haven’t gotten the quest yet, or got it after finishing chapter 1.
However, in the past when giving out freebies to say sorry about something, they are usually just gifted packs with no requirement to complete.
Yeah, only a couple got frustrating and I started to hit Restart on those if my opening hand or the first three turns or so weren’t ideal. Also I made the mistake of trying to control the board on the final fight thinking it was going to be a long match. Started to think it was an un-winnable match.
Show Spoiler
Turns out it was un-winnable since you never actually defeat Illidan! But instead he shows he’s more open minded and able to learn/grow than most people in a Facebook comments section after taking 40+ damage. Had I known that I may have won several attempts sooner as I would have prioritized the face over board presence/spoiler]
Would one of the mods let me know if this counts for this week's theme (since it doesn't actually give Spell Damage)?
No one else is online at the moment to discuss the matter, but someone will get back to you as soon as possible :)
I, for one, am willing to let it slide, but maybe I'm becoming too lenient in my old age lol. Also, assuming you get the go-ahead, you'll have to force-bold the "-2" part to make it look right.
I'm no moderator, but I for one think it fits the theme. The theme states "You must create a card which has or synergises with Spell Damage". Negative Spell Damage is still synergy with Spell Damage.
This was the toughest boss in the whole adventure for me. Took two restarts, but then I was able to stick the beast (Gahz'rilla) who doubles attack every time it takes damage, and I was able to one-shot her.
Well I'm reaching that point where you have to shift from value to probability because I'm stuck at plat 1. How do you make that change in mindset?
I'm not really sure how to help you--for me, that IS this game. Every move, including just passing, has upsides and downsides to both players, and whichever player successfully judges which moves will create the biggest differential will probably win. There was actually an interesting Runeterrable podcast last week with FreshLobster about this: he's actually a poker player who got into CCGs, and the hosts were commenting about how this just lets him see the game differently and how he doesn't have to unlearn habits like spending all your mana every turn.
One thing that might help you is playing different meta decks, so that way you get a better feel for their strengths and weaknesses. E.g., if you play endure spiders, you might be able to better appreciate how important it is to level Kalista and how critical removal is if they have another 2 mana for Haunted Relic.
I thought I'd take the time to outline the optimal way to grow your card collection in Legends Of Runterra without spending a cent.
So you can get the most out of your first month playing the game.
Tip 1 - Week 1 Rewards
The only thing you need to know here is that you get two copies of Ash, two copies of Zed, two copies of elise and jinx for free therefore you are heavily encouraged to craft other champions than these because you'll naturally get your 3rd copy in weekly vaults, and region rewards.
Tip 2 - Region Rewards
At first you are going to want to level each region to 12 using the 1.5 xp boost. Then you want to stick to 1 region and level it to 23 which is when you unlock your last champion capsule. Doing this you should be able to have every region leveled up half way, and 3 regions level to max in a month.
Tip 3 - Optimizing XP Gains Vs Time
Your average day will involve finishing your quests you have piled up, getting your pvp xp boosts for 1 or 2 games, if you haven't hit your desired region reward by that point, finish the tutorials or just afk grind loss xp, multitask while you just concede this will net you fast rewards.
Tip 4 - Save Your Dust
In legends champions are king, you'll be swimming in wildcards of every other rarity in no time so make sure that you are saving up 3000 shards for that free champion once a week, on top of your weekly vault and lucky upgrades you could have up to 5 champion cards in a single day.
Tip 5 - Have Fun
The key to being successful at free to play is understanding that you need to bide your time before making your ranked climbs especially if you refuse to net deck, I got to be a diamond player in arena using this mindset, so patience is key. Just have fun before you pick a list to try hard with.
Would you like ranked to allow for side boards?
Maybe instead of Side Boards it'd be something like you can make 3 Versions of a deck (with a Core 30 cards that is the same between all 3) and you choose one of the 3 to play. That way it wouldn't increase the time it takes to play by that much but still allow for players to make different versions of their deck for different matchups.
Muligan system needs work.

Didn't have this problem because I didn't dive into the adventure immediately. Three boring single-rare packs, but I'm not complaining.
I'm more into getting the card back anyway, but not in a huge rush.

It doesn't need a rework at all.
