It was nice to see Heaver playing a crab list which was very different than mine. 2 very dissimilar lists broke into the top cut, was interesting to see both getting good results
Also @kraken78, I don’t think Matrim is out of line with the comment. As one of the guys who made it feel more “like a local tournament than a Kotei,” I feel a bit offended by it.
Tim Wells I consider to be one of if not the best Lion player out there, Kyle Wislocky was top Crane here and top 16 at worlds and is one of the best Crane players out there. This is my 2nd large event in a row showing as the top finishing Crab. Everyone I played in the top 16 gave me fantastic games. And there were quite a few strong players who didn’t make the cut.
You’re entitled to your opinion that the overall field may have been weaker than worlds and that’s fair, this was a regional/national level event compared to World Championships. You should probably say that in a way that doesn’t insult everyone who was there though.

He was referring to the damage you can move with Home Front as well. He mentioned it in his post before the 6.

Lion would beg to differ. Scorpion arguably has the best *Conflict* deck in the game.

I would be surprised if there wasn’t a new core set down the road similar to what Netrunner did. It keeps things fresh and allows rebalancing. Also evergreen cards are just really, really bad ideas from a balance POV.
-
It actually encourages more deckbuilding variety than it inhibits. Forces clans to change how they build decks and provinces used at times. Otherwise you would just find the best role and always run it.
-
I would say Crab's worst matchup is Lion by a fair amount.
-
While I do love Arkham, using its core of as an example of balance or power creep is a poor choice. It's not a competitive game and it will never have a rotation period.
-
Worlds is not a launch event however. There's no reason it will not follow normal deckbuilding rules listed in the L2P book that comes with the game. Which is 40-45 (40 in reality) cards per deck and no more than 3x each copy of a card per deck as well as any other restrictions listed, including using whatever Keeper/Seeker role was chosen for your Clan at GenCon. The single core events were due to early releases or a release event.

Will be waiting til Battlefoam makes some Rune Wars foam and then get that. Used them for Warmachien and Infinity and have not found a foam I like better.
-
So the question becomes, why wouldn't you always take 2 copies of something like Adaptable when able to (skids, wendy, any dunwich investigator) since it doesn't count towards your 30 card deck?
-
It actually takes 3 resources and a Poe special to get out the falcon. And the combo can be gotten on turn 1-2. It's a very strong deck.

25 minutes ago, Veritas85 said:That is not said anywhere... you can also pick it from the enemys card, but it would bevmore effective to pick it from dicepool as your opponent would have wasted an action already for this die...
Actually you cannot remove it from a character's card.
Page 19 of the Rules Reference Guide under the heading Removing Dice:
-
A die cannot be removed unless it is in a player’s dice pool.
Prized possession states:
After you play this upgrade, you may remove an opponent's character die and place it here. It is not rolled by any character and does not return to its character unless this upgrade leaves play.
Therefore to remove the die it must be in the dice pool, and in order to get there it must have been rolled out.

I don't pop packs. It's more cash efficient to buy booster boxes/saga sets and get the singles you need.
Regardless of of how much people want to call others foolish or crazy, that doesn't change the fact you're missing the boat. If people are willing to pay $8 for a booster pack and the store is selling it's stock, then they should be selling them at that price from a business standpoint. It isn't personal, its business and the stores have a right to make a profit.
If your job pays you $50,000 a year but you only need $35,000 to live and meet your basic needs, should you sell your talents for less just because you can? No you're going the extra money more than likely. That's life.
-
Agreed. Let's wait until we see what's spoiled.
-
You cannot do anything to dice that have not been rolled out into the pool. So yes, to prize possession a character die you must wait until it is rolled out into the pool.
-
It has nothing to do with being foolish. It has to do with what the value of the product is to you.
I'm a completionist and am looking to be as competitive as possible. If making sure I have a full playset makes me more competitive, then I'm going to get a full playset. That also means I'm more likely to pay more for a card I want than someone who's more casual.
-
If I'm willing to spend X on a card or pack, who is anyone else to tell me I'm wrong.
MSRP is a suggestion. People are free to sell product for what they can get for it. It's how our economy works.
If you don't like it, don't participate or wait til the prices go down. We all know the prices are inflated due to low supply. If it's worth it to you, you will spend the money for the product. If it isn't you won't. Why are we continuing to beat a dead horse?
Also if you had an extra say, Vader, and someone offered you $20 and another guy offered you $70 would you sell it for $20? I'm guessing most people would not.

So as someone who did make a role choice: First off there was a ton of chatter in discord besides the poll that was placed. Secondly, at worlds itself there was fairly involved discussion between the people playing X clan, the hatamotos, etc, once it became clear who per clan was going to be making the choice. Everyone was also pretty much able to walk away from Worlds happy with their clan choice from a competitive stand point I feel seeing how the results went.
