"Cut the enemy Nexus health in two, rounded up." I was at 1 HP, enemy played Ledros, i died. I would probably have won on the next draw. (We were both at 1 HP, i had 16 cards, 8 puffcaps, he had 11 cards, 10 puffcaps) I am a bit salty now. Also, i am on EU, so we cannot play together. | ||

. I might work towards something like that deck in constructed though, as it seemed to be pretty fun to play. Was a very controlly deck.I don't have a good idea what decks to play in constructed though. I've been having fun messing around with a undying deck, but it's kinda coin flippy and super opening dependent. Good enough for my iron II | ||

https://playruneterra.com/en-us/news/patch-0-9-2-notes/ Tons of Shadow Isles nerfs, sort of needed since it was the best region since forever, but I'll miss some of the cards. Mageseekers all got changed in order to help Lux (and because they sucked so bad anyways). Also, we previously discussed how Kalista was terrible so now she got reworked to sort of mix her very 1st pre-open beta kit with her current one, should make her more interesting. | ||

I've been having a good time in expedition as well. First week where I've done the full 3 trials(yay corona?), and went 5/6/7. Pretty sure I own more than half the cards. Not bad in comparison to hearthstone, getting a full set of cards to play any deck isn't going to take more than a couple weeks of work generally speaking. | ||

The monetization/card unlock progression scheme of this game is miles ahead of HS. In HS, it is basically impossible to play the game for F2P players since you were stuck in a vicious circle: Don't have any cards -> Can't win games -> Can't complete daily quests -> Can't gain any gold -> Can't buy card packs The only way to get out of it was to open your wallet just to keep up with other players and finally start to have some fun. In LoR, not only do you get good rewards for leveling up regions and vaults but crucially, you can easily complete the daily quests in AI games so even if your card collection sucks, you will be able to quickly get to a point where you get at least 1 viable deck for PvP games. | ||

Other possibility is block with Rimefang Wolf and frostbite her. Otherwise, she can't be killed by a standard blocking unit since she is always to the left in the board so she always attacks before her bonded unit.

Yeah I remember how bad it was. I was infinite in arena for the first few months(I would do ~3-4 a week), which let me build up enough dust to make a couple cheap decks, but once the meta shifted I just didn't have the will to disenchant everything to chase it. Legendaries just felt prohibitively expensive pretty much no matter how much I played. I think on average I hit like 1-2 legendary a month (only one of which would be one I even wanted). In LoR if you actually play F2P it's 2-5 champs a week, with wildcard and repeat protection depending on how you do in expeditions and all the other rewards. Just a world of difference. | ||

I'm curious, where do you come up with the 2-5 champs a week number? You can get 3 champs/week if you do all your weekly expeditions but from my personal experience, I only got a single champion card by opening vaults since the start of the open beta (average level 12). I'm unsure about how many I got by opening region chests but it must be a very rare occurrence to get a champion card upgrade. Maybe you are a lucker dog?  | ||

I've still got a bunch of them to burn through so one week I got 2 in a champ capsule(lucker dog indeed) + 3 from expedition. Other weeks I won't unlock anything big and only do 1-2 expeditions so it balances out. I think what I like most is the amount of wildcards you get. You can stockpile enough to make every card you need for an average deck in a couple weeks. Having played mostly casually since release, I've got 27 more champs to unlock, so a couple more months assuming no insane luck on my side. I'm fairly certain they're planning on mixing it up before then, so I might just hoard my wildcards from here on out. | ||

https://playruneterra.com/en-us/news/adding-more-agency-to-progression/ TL;DR
Turns out they completely backtracked on their design philosophy of limiting how many cards you can gain per week (their initial goal was to prevent the meta being figured out too quickly like in other CCGs by the whales that can afford to buy hundreds of card packs on release day). I was wondering how they were going to handle people hoarding wildcards for the next expansion but I guess that's now the way to go if you want to keep up with the inevitable whales that will buy the entire card collection on day 1 of a new expansion. Overall, I like the changes they are proposing so far, getting champion wildcards more easily is a big deal and no XP/vault level limitation should mean F2P players that can invest time should be able to get more rewards. Expeditions not giving a guaranteed champion card is iffy for those that like draft mode, would need to see what are the new rewards to see if it is worth spending 2K shards on it. Game could also start being annoying for casual or new players that might have to face whales playing top-tier meta decks. | ||

Here are the new vault rewards, as well as the milestones they are unlocked in: - Lvl 2: Expedition token - Lvl 5: Random champion card - Lvl 10: Champion wildcard (replaces the champion card reward unlocked at level 5). My bad if I wasn't clear, read the article for more details. Keep in mind that Expeditions will have reduced rewards (since the entry cost has also been lowered to 2K shards) and will no longer give a champion card guaranteed. AFAIK, they haven't announced what the new rewards will be but hopefully it will still give back at least the entry fee in value. So now's the last week to get your last 3 guaranteed champion cards through expeditions. If you still have Expeditions tokens when the new patch gets released, you will get refunded 1000 shards/token to compensate for their change in value, per Riot Umbrage's twitter: | ||

The most interesting information that wasn't previously announced are the new rewards for Expeditions: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/eHeztEK.png) Bummed with the way they changed the rewards. Previously, minimum reward was a random champion card and with the champion card duplication protection, it meant that you would always get full return on investment (3000 shards) even if you already had all champions. Now, the minimum reward is Epic Card + 2x rare + 2x common, which technically adds up to 2000 shards in value (which is the new cost of Expeditions) but obviously you are extremely likely to get duplicates on low rarity cards at this point. It's only at 5+ wins that you get full RoI, unless you pray to RNJesus to get a card or capsule upgrade. If they wanted to be consistent with their previous way of handling Expedition rewards, they should have started rewards at minimum Epic Card + 800 shards and then worked their way up from there. They also specified that The Harrowing was ninja-changed since the previous patch (not mentioned in patch notes and card text left unchanged) to: "Revive the 6 Strongest allies that died this game and grant them Ephemeral." which means that it no longer works on dead champions as of 0.9.2. | ||

Beta season will also end at the same date so this means you have 3 weeks to grind the ranked ladder as much as you can. Lastly, the game will also come out on mobile platforms with PC crossplay. News article here: https://playruneterra.com/en-us/news/launch-announcement-faq/ | ||

News article here: https://playruneterra.com/en-us/news/launch-announcement-faq/ I'm prepping up for the release of the game. Have 34/16/7/4 wildcards at the moment, 7k shards. I'm should have enough to make a couple interesting decks with the new stuff by the time it comes out. Ladder hasn't been that interesting for me tbh. Currently up to Silver 2 now. Probably could hit plat or so if I played more, but I'd rather just do the dailies and occasional expeditions. | ||
