I actually have one of each Sense of Belonging, Mother Demon Rumor, Linia's Tastes, Misfit, Shrink and Knight's Letter now.

But people seem to play Battlefield Sita on slot three pretty often and it's hard to do anything to slot 3 low size follower with these if I don't get lucky but thats the name of the game I guess.

Is it worth spending like 20 bucks to get started? And what should I buy with tokens in that case? (as crux)

I'm completely newb to cardgames and have now played like 100 games (did the start dungeon like 10 times, and havnt lost more than 3 times so far (when I tried higher level dungeons) but I still feel like I have no fucking clue what I'm doing... Any tips would be cool ^^

If you think you are going to be playing for a while then yes

He goes over the benefits and how you should spend the $20 for each faction
You spend like $10 on booster packs and keep the other for the bronze prize rewards after dungeon matches

Misfit (if you have darklore or size-efficient followers)/shrink and sense(if they're playing sita off-faction) are good. Knight's letter is a solid 50/50 2-card removal, but it's too high variance for a ladder deck, imo.

table manners is a better removal than arrest imo since not only can it remove size 3 cards, but potentially remove multiple cards (for example the opponent has 2 size 3,4, or 5 followers). It also removes spells, although that's largely coin toss dependent.

4-3 on my first ladder, could have been 5-2 if I wasn't a retard and didn't shuffle when I had a spell on hand that would have won the game for me... Well was worried that I was going to go 0-7 so I guess I should be happy with that especially as I haven't put much thought in my deck and just rushed to get 200 DP before this starts.



What do you think of Linia's Tastes, today I realised I didn't read the tooltip correctly and it seems to remove one of my followers on the next turn so I've been mostly using it on last turn in close matches to end the game.



Do you have first hand experience with that as the tooltip sounds like it removes single card at most, if it can indeed remove many I have to get that in my deck. Or do you mean it removes one per turn and possibly removes another the next turn?

I just find some of the tooltips slightly confusing.

It removes another one next turn. I don't like it as much as arrest, because you have to think about it and basically you can only target in the following fashion:
1-3
2-4
3-5
4-6
5-7
Which is garbage in any pure strategy NE, since it's basically impossible to get a size 6 into a slot 4 or a size 7 into slot 5. (minus some wall climb shenanigans for the latter).

I need a card that, along with conversion, gives me full field coverage. Table manners isn't that card.

Furthermore, except with cards like frett/pintail/vanguard/nemesis, dumping your hand to the bottom of your deck isn't really a bad deal. Multi-turn combos are rubbish with this game's rng, so whatever you're more likely than not better off with an entirely new hand next turn.

If you happen to get crux in flames and arrest in a single turn, some pretty lulzy stuff can happen with 50% probability.

Think you're misreading Table Manners. It doesn't care what slot the enemy follower is in, you just have to put Table Manners in the proper slot. It still doesn't hit 1's or 2's though, but neither does Arrest.

I've been reading through the thread for except the last 10 pages of the last two days, and I've also watched cels vid (very nice one, thanks a bunch!). As a complete noob it has helped immensely just reading to understand the terms and getting used to see the names of certain cards so I can now follow what's going on in chat and in here (which was impossible before, didnt understand jackshit) so cheers everyone!

Just got this feeling that some cards or thoughts might be outdated when building a deck, as cel's stating above. I'm playing crux (seems alot do) what are good cards to aim for? To mention I was a fool and made bad cards all over the place, but I actually did make shrink from other factions resources and unionize without coming here, so I must be doing something right aswell. I also spent alot of tokens when winning my first matches (kinda all of them) T_T.
Is it still Kana, ER, Meadow and the likes that you want for a PvE deck? also what followers should I add/replace from the starter crux deck?

I was thinking chrono clock is great together with kana, but maybe you fill your board to quickly and can't cast spells that way, but I feel that in theory you should be able to have quite a few very strong followers on the board with those two cards?

You look at its points.
1-3-5 common
7-11 uncommon
13-33 rare
50 d.rare
100 t.rare

Character cards don't follow these rules.

Is it only the top 3 that gets any kind of rewards at all from ladder btw?

Other than the accessories from each match.
