emancipate and Faxos were very helpful to me when I bombarded them with questions. emancipate showed me how to ... Play effectively (i.e. I practiced against him (at the loss of some ladder-points)) and Faxos was just some random person who answered all my questions when I complimented him on winning two tournies. Permission to quote granted by Faxos: [20:10]Phenoca: You won again :) [20:10]Phenoca: But I didn't bet on you this time. [20:10]Faxos: ehehe [20:11]Phenoca: Did you get your cards from drafts? Did you purchase the sand starter-deck? [20:12]Faxos: actually [20:12]Faxos: i played about 2 months (before the ladder started) [20:12]Faxos: i earned a little bit of gold and few cards but it's very slow [20:12]Phenoca: So you used the market? Drafting? Starters? [20:12]Faxos: so i purchased 500 gold and purchased the cards i wanted one by one [20:13]Faxos: but that's ok only if you have a clear strategy in mind [20:13]Faxos: otherwise domain league is probably the best [20:13]Phenoca: Why leagues? [20:13]Faxos: along with ladder matches to earn gold of course [20:13]Phenoca: jed said that Drafting is the best because you can sell all the cards you don't want. [20:13]Faxos: true [20:14]Faxos: but with domain [20:14]Faxos: you get all cards of the same domain... so you can start building a deck consistently [20:14]Faxos: difficult to say, maybe jed advice is better :P [20:14]Phenoca: <-- sylvan and mountain (though the anti-enchantments look nice). [20:14]Phenoca: Are there any ways to counter Lysis? [20:15]Faxos: no way [20:15]Faxos: well [20:15]Faxos: very few ways and they are odd or rare cards [20:15]Faxos: you have to prevent the cast somehow [20:15]Faxos: dew mogi, gilden organ, null stone... [20:15]Faxos: few cards only [20:15]Phenoca: I only knew about mogi. [20:16]Faxos: the others are cards which are almost never used [20:16]Faxos: so [20:16]Phenoca: Gilded Organ is an amusing card :) [20:17]Faxos: if you have an idea of what your deck should feature... buy cards one by one... but overall it is usually more expensive than getting a "random" deck [20:17]Faxos: ehehe [20:17]Phenoca: Null Stone looks useful also. [20:17]Phenoca: Do you use Null Stone? [20:17]Faxos: I NEVER saw gilden organ in play [20:17]Faxos: i don't use the stone... i saw it maybe once [20:18]Phenoca: I like having decks where I can setup a base at two fluxes, and then spam weak units. [20:18]Faxos: very good [20:18]Faxos: mf/sylvan are quite good at it [20:19]Phenoca: mf = mountain... f..? [20:19]Faxos: folk [20:19]Phenoca: Yes, my favourite deck is the mountain/sylvan combined, but my level 1 falcons and scouts are all phantoms. [20:19]Phenoca: But they are also easy to acquire. [20:20]Faxos: absolutely [20:20]Phenoca: Is falcon worth to have? What about other level 1 units that are easy to buy? [20:20]Faxos: falcon is one of the most used (and useful) creatures, i think :D [20:20]Phenoca: And something that is the equivalent of 'Call to Battle'? [20:20]Faxos: mmm [20:21]Faxos: if you pack enough creatures in your deck [20:21]Faxos: you don't need call to battle [20:21]Phenoca: Anything where I can draw more cards? I still like using enchants. [20:21]Faxos: which also costs 3 flux and it slows you down [20:21]Phenoca: In fact, I like Ascent a lot. [20:21]Faxos: very few cards allow you to draw additional cards [20:22]Faxos: and usually they are very situational cards (such as gills and fins) [20:22]Faxos: something you don't really want to use :P [20:22]Faxos: ascent is very strong if well used... targeting a high-cost creature [20:23]Phenoca: That is the reason I like it. That creature, even if replayed, will waste two turns, and end up at a base. [20:23]Faxos: sure [20:23]Phenoca: Can I have more than 3 cards of a non-base card? [20:23]Faxos: nope [20:24]Phenoca: Are dwarven hall and grove the only mf/sylvan structures which allow me to recruit from adjacent hexes? [20:25]Phenoca: Is there any way to move and then use an ability for Mosslight Slor (instead of moving the attacked unit to Mosslight)? [20:25]Faxos: mmm [20:25]Phenoca: How many clicks determines the difference between using ranged and a melee-attack? [20:26]Faxos: there are other mf/sylvan base buildings, check the market (use filters) for the complete cards list [20:26]Faxos: for the mosslight... no way, unless you undim with another creature/ability/spell [20:26]Faxos: (for example, manipulation, or the timesap apprentice) [20:27]Faxos: about ranged/melee... i don't know :) [20:27]Phenoca: Exhausted Mine + Mosslight looks amusing also. [20:28]Phenoca: Nvm - move 'un'dimmed :( [20:28]Faxos: so so, you dim the creature once you move it [20:28]Faxos: exactly [20:29]Faxos: mine is not a very good card (well, you never know until someone uses it proficiently :P) [20:29]Phenoca: Gossamer Palace... It only works if there is no unit on the enchantment space? [20:29]Faxos: yes [20:29]Phenoca: Is there a way to arrange cards in order of value? Ooh there is - good :) [20:30]Phenoca: Why don't players use Ord Stone? Does Ord Stone still control a flux well if you build it on the flux hex? [20:30]Faxos: no it doesn't unfortunately [20:30]Faxos: but it's already a GREAT card [20:30]Faxos: i have 3 in my deck [20:30]Faxos: it was the first card i bought [20:30]Phenoca: No; not for the level 1 unit-spamming. [20:31]Faxos: true, it depends on the strategy [20:31]Phenoca: I will use it if I find more units. [20:31]Faxos: in my deck i require a lot of mana and it's simply sooo useful [20:32]Phenoca: Do all buildings take 4 turns to construct? (ignoring the dank pit.) [20:32]Faxos: yes, construction time is the same [20:33]Phenoca: Dank Pit... Also takes 4 turns then? [20:33]Faxos: yeah [20:33]Phenoca: What counts as a 'beast' unit for Dellenari Beastmaser? [20:33]Faxos: if it's a beast, it's written on the card description [20:33]Faxos: not the card name, in the text [20:34]Phenoca: Why don't players use Timesap (its cost is so low)? [20:34]Faxos: e.g. manticore, ord beast, mastodon are beasts [20:35]Faxos: the cost [20:35]Faxos: depends also on availability [20:35]Faxos: timesap is a common card, so it's often found in random decks [20:35]Faxos: apart from this [20:35]Faxos: it's a good card, but the creature costs 5 flux [20:35]Faxos: not little :) [20:36]Phenoca: What is "doesn't undim as normal"? You can only undim for 2 flux? [20:36]Faxos: yes [20:36]Phenoca: Not at the - ok. [20:36]Faxos: multiple times per round [20:36]Faxos: so [20:36]Faxos: crappy if you have low mana [20:36]Faxos: awesome if you have a loit [20:36]Faxos: lot [20:37]Phenoca: Hey! This chat box lets me mouse-over the abilities :) [20:37]Phenoca: If you place the chat beside the card and then move the mouse from the chat-box to the card, you can read the mouse-over descriptions. [20:38]Faxos: i think you can just press shift while moving the mouse for the same effect [20:38]Faxos: let me check [20:38]Phenoca: Ctrl. [20:38]Faxos: yes ctrl [20:38]Phenoca: Thanks. [20:38]Phenoca: Thank you for answering all of my questions. [20:39]Faxos: no problem :D Even when I disagreed with him, he found some case to back-up why my disagreement might be valid... Nice. And now, I shall... Play ladder! |

I probably won't find much time to play until mid July because of work and vacation, but I'd love to play some draft keep.
