[Shadowverse] Why do I play this f***ing game edition.

[Not-so-Radiant Arin]

 

 

 

Fanfare: Gain an empty play point orb if this card is played on your fifth turn or later.

At the end of your turn, restore 3 defense to your leader if Overflow is active for you.

 

Why?

 

Why does Dragoncraft need something like this?

 

They already have Draconic Fervor which is a 3-of in almost every Dragoncraft Deck, followed by Dragon Oracle which is a 3-of, Dragon Nest which restores 2 and gives you a free card while you have Overflow, and Saha -> Luci combo which demolishes Aggro Decks.

 

Dragon right now heals more than the funking healing class. Same with Forest.

 

funk this game. Just seriously.

I still recall how, before Tempest's release, a lot of people were complaining that Sibyl's two effects were too conditional, and that she is not enough to get Dragon out of its meme status. Goes to show how drastically things change with a little field test.

 

Dragon's currently got a lot of heal options but lots of them come in late. Dragon Nest and Sibyl need to wait for you to hit Overflow - typically at turn 6, turn 4 at the incredibly rare best case scenario. Fervor is more immediate but doesn't help contest the board. Lucifer and Israfil are really potent but also high-drops. Ouroboros has to suicide to score the regeneration.

 

And with all these wonderful toys, the deck starts to get a little clogged. Players need to start making cuts before they end up with the most glorious of brick hands. And when Dragon bricks, they are vulnerable until turn 5 at best, completely at the mercy of aggro.
