    A mode where we have access to all cards. It would be nice if it was against other players but to be fair I will say strictly against friends.

    This is a thing to some extent. If you have a friend who has a large collection, they can make a deck for you that you want to play and can let you borrow it in a friendly challenge, so you can play with it. It does have the downside of your friend knowing what exactly is in your deck, but i mean after one game, they would know anyway, so yeah.

    Need help.
    1. Is there a way to track some old article faster without having to search each page, e.g Article about Cardback winner. or some old article about card nerf. A search function would be great. But what if I also forgot the article's title too? hmm.

    Tags in the article are also a great way to look up specific article, if you know/think that the one you are looking for could be tagged with the same tag. So going through the article of the same type/series on the front page, click on the tag and look up the one you are searching for. Just a small tip :)

    Frostbite on Seju should still make her feel different enough. Not to mention her lvlup. I think they just want to establish Vulnerable as a general 'removal option' for most regions, which i dont think ppl will be too upset about.

    This section of the forums is basically dead, so ...

    Thanks for helping keep it that way with helpful comments like this.


    Hi, Zebulun, i dont play Mythgard myself, but i will talk to Nirast, our resident expert on Mythgard, so he can pop-in and give you some answers. In the meantime, feel free to browse through the Mythgard portal, where you can also find codes for the Core set to redeem entire sets of cards (offer expires on March 15!), they started to give em away recently to jump-start your collections :)

    I mean paid closed invite only beta vs free to play open for public scenario. One does not need a degree to see why would there be a difference in the active players 😂 Still so weird how they portrayed their reasons for abandoning development.

    I think ppl might be grossly underestimating this card. It might force your opponnent into suboptimal plays, 'wasting' a card to deny something they played prior etc. Or you can simply get a huge banger your opponnent just played. Hero cards, stuff like Ticktacus, Old Gods you name it. Just its existance will make opponnent question their play vs Rogue.

    What do spells and Plaguebringer have in common? Did you by any chance linked a wrong card?

    +2+2 buffs have always been strong in standard, I think this will be strong following any 1 mana drop. Specially with returning Enchanted Raven

    It saw play in the past, so a +2/+3 will for sure see play.

    If you got it right, you get a pop-up top left saying so and it gets checked on this page. So if that didnt happen, keep searching ;-)

    Did anyone reach lv.350 yet? I never seen one so far. But if it's true, is that mean they're no longer getting any gold whatsoever?

    EDIT. Mine is 157 (No Bonus pass), expecting to reach 200 if I keep playing like I did by 23rd March.

    I will do the science and let you know in about 2 weeks time. I'm currently at level 303 ^_^

    I mean they capped it, there does not need to be any science done, unless they goofed and did not cap it in fact :) In any case, only a small % of players will reach that regardless imho. Not saying you should be "punished" for playing a lot, the % who do reach it will surely serve as a feedback metric for future adjustment.

    I like the design. Not sure that any of these reputation cards are gonna be that exciting. The obvious pairing for Sivir is with Noxus in a 5 attack style deck but its able to work in other factions, maybe Demacia. I do worry that the reputation effect is just really awkward to trigger in most other factions, but I suppose you don't need to do so to make Sivir decent.

    Reputation is what Jungle Giants hoped to be?:)

    Classic: Don't know if that's a mode for me, but I'll give a try. Could be interesting. I started back in Un'Goro, so I never got to experience the absolute glory of coin-innervate-yeti or no-real-wincon-priest! 

    That is called a mid-range deck, ok?:D

    I have to be honest, I don't like the removal of charge from everything. Team5 could've just left at least one in standard, this one for instance, so the dream of pulling out some combo will still be possible. I remember the dead days of boar hunter, in AoO, made possible precisely because it had charge, and gave hunter a semblance of a chance in that trying tempo dhunter period. Guess we won't ever be seeing any more of that.

    On its own, its bad. Basically for a class that can't draw for shit, every card must count, and this one happily runs itself to its death the same turn you play him, with no obvious combo of either keeping him alive or doing some really powerful stuff. Is there any reason to not play say, Arcane Shot, or Backstab, or in fact any other card, instead of a 1 mana deal 2 to a minion? The only thing I can think of to justify a card slot would be Saddlemaster, an equally weak card in its own right.

    Perhaps this signals that team5 is going to print something that will cheapen beasts in hand, in which case there's a sliver of an opportunity for new boar to actually see play. But until then, this is trash, topped only by new Bluegill Warrior.

    There are other game modes other than Constructed, you know. It will be pretty good Arena card, probably Duels too, and can appear in Brawls. Definitely not a useless card by any means in the set.

    By that reasoning, there are no 'bad' cards. The context of my review/rant is obviously standard constructed because that's where the decision to include into a deck is pertinent and I simply cannot see why anyone would want it. Paladin is the only class that comes closes because there's no 1 mana removal in that class currently, and even then I cannot see why boar would be taken over the deluge of other 1 drops.

    That's right, technically, there are no bad cards. There are bad cards for certain game modes and there are cards that are (a lot) worse than alternatives, but all cards can find a place to be played somewhere.

    There is a Humongous Razorleaf in the Core set, which will  never see a play in anything but Silence Priest at best, but it also serves to dilute the random/discover pool in some situations. You cant only have top tier cards in a set, how would you then know which cards are better? Boar is by no means a dead card, it just wont be used to push face damage. It might not be put in any popular deck list, but it will be pulled by RNG effects and it will help in certain situations.

    I like the idea of Reputation, or rather the unique trigger. But the name of the keyword is weird to say the least.

    Sivir looks cool, tho not as good representation of her League abilities in her champion as others, but a strong one nonetheless. Her signature spells do have a proper flavor tho.

    The new alexstrasza is still a big nerf compared to old Alexstrsza, but this is better for the health of the game.

    I don't think this is a nerf. Damage wise your opponent would have to have 24 life or more for the old alex to be better. And similarly you would have to have 6 life or less for the old one to heal you more. Old alex could potentially be more efficient, but this one is simply more reliable in what it does. It is more useful in more scenarios. Plus, you can target minions in addition to heroes which gives it even more uses.

    Exactly, and the biggest upside is you can actually user her as a finisher, not just as a setup.
