Comments
So I'm currently playing a Jace Fel DH deck and it looks like Imp-credible Trousers is bugged. Every time I cast a fell spell, it's putting the rifts ontop of my deck and not actually "shuffling" them into my deck. It's essentially cast a fell spell, summon two 3/3s next turn. Pretty nuts
Most of those tier 2 treasures look like hot garbage, tbh. A few stand out though, like Expedited Burial could be interesting.
Speaking of that card, did they have an intern write the card text? Feels unnecessarily long and not following syntax of other cards with similar effects.
I feel like most of these new tier 1/2 Passives would be sooo much better if Team 5 were to remove some of the old powerhouses that at this point are just limiting the design space.
Namely, I am talking about Fireshaper, Battle Totem and stuff like that, which can't be easily topped as they're simple but extremely consistent.
That could be an answer, but at the same time I would not like them to turn all passives into small bland buffs, which are hardly even noticeable. Duels is, for me, where I go to play something crazy. It's all about that insane tempo or unbelievable swings. Games and plays that you can't see in either standard or wild, more akin to the old solo adventures that the mode is based on.
Still nothing about Diablos 6. Treasure? I thought the Duels version was also supposed to only stay there for a limited time.
I was upset about it too!
Those pool 1 passives looks ready to piss a good deal of players off when it gets offered to decks that absolutely have none of those spells in the deck. Hopefully team5 coded it to appear according to the number of these spells in the deck.
Anyone know if we'll get a free ticket from heroics this time round?
Patch Notes didn't mention it while they did with Arena, so the logic answer is that no, we won't receive any Duels refund ticket.
Duels changes are always fun and exciting!
But Mind Tether is still Mind Tether, so I can't be overly pleased
Not gonna lie: I feel like some of the "old" tools are so strong and consistent that do not let the new toys be as successful as they may be.
