Mehmani Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 First of all, it is sort of a rule of thumb that an archetype relies on a card that is situational but broken (Escroc le Peintre, Plague Blizter). Flames the kind of bite only obtainable from a powerful card. Flames will need two boss monsters to be a viable deck (i.e. Tier 2). The Plague archetype does need a lot of support as Blizter's limiting wounded them. I would suggest draw power and S/Ts that mill, coupled with one or two boss monsters. This is a CCG - theory is often transformed into a reality here, and I would be happy to provide my expertise, INH. I have somewhat of a talent at using clever wording to sneak cards through checks and if Flames need an overpowered card to jump up a Tier then I'm your man.

seattleite Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Added DSAS into the wikia. @ InH - Give me a good reason why Plagues need support, because i've lost in every single duel against them except 1. They can be easily combined with Non-Plague Zombie Support to provide More stall, More Swarm and More Mill. And I'll be sure to be more alert for elusive jargon. EDIT: Plague Engine... once again please give me a good reason why we need this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got decks up there unmoved from tier 1 until recently due to duel drought. They're zombies [which dont have alot of support]. They mill [which can HELP the opponent a 2/3 of the time]. The reason they seem broke is swarm and generics. The only problem in the deck is swarm.

Yes mill will naturally sometimes help the opponent but what else can you do? Make it so fast that it mills there deck in 3 turns? Or even worse add more swarm to give your opponent even less options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mill will naturally sometimes help the opponent but what else can you do? Make it so fast that it mills there deck in 3 turns?That was a design flaw. This arguement can go on forever, the fact is, most decks are getting more powerful while decks like Plague and Phoenixian get no future support because they were good for a period of time and people just classify it as an overall good deck and help out decks that dont need it. The nature of this CCG is simple: Help decks people use currently and leave other decks behind. The only Deck not used often that recieved support is Aquean. Sea, once a deck becomes unpopular or outdated, people just rate it as good, up'd or broken, try to fix it, then leave without solving much of the problem.

I get it, you want Plagues to be playable, but there is more support that is already there than you realize. And I plan to cover this more later, but in short, the better approach is to discover combos (heck, we have like 950+ cards already) rather than make more. Because even though your intentions are to get Plagues back in the game, it just become a competition of who's archetype is better supported (usually with cards that have a purpose in only ONE kind of deck) which clogs up space and is a waste of cards. Plagues already have the potential to be good. In fact I would say winning most of their duels is awesome. But loading an already well-supported, good archetype with more extremly specific cards is bad for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarbleZone Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Since I picked the game up at its 7th set, to make things just a tad easier, what's worth looking into when deckbuilding?

Or rather, what are the top decks at the moment and what's completely unplayable? Top Decks right now are (In no particular order) : Escroc, Supreme, Alchemic, Plague, WereLord and Reversed. BUT, almost any deck has support in the CCG, so I don't think any decks are unplayable. These are just the ones used the most. What do you mean exactly when you say "what's worth looking into"?

Who do you think has killed Sea recently with a Plague Deck [ME], just add in older cards or brand new cards.....Just because cards don't allways do what you want them to doesn't mean their Out Dated or they need a card for this exactsituation [cause then it's just not used and waste of space for other cards.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of this spell card only working for this archtype you could make it work for say all dragons oor all zombies [this ensure play time later in CCG so we don't have like 500+ dead cards that are situational or are needed yes but the whole type needs cards like that.
