The article didn't get linked. Fixed!

I do love how the spectating guy is like, "How are you pulling that off? With those cards?"

And the guy he's watching is giving his opponent the stink-eye like "Don't you dare touch that card I want. I know you're thinking about it."

Thanks for the catch there, VaranisArano. Linked now.

And I want to add this face as a new user icon.

Hehe!

Actually, since the last batch of icons added a bunch of faces from the promotional art like this, would it be possible to go ahead and release matching forum icons when the art gets used? I'm probably too attached to this old Red Diamond to change mine, but I know there's others who like changing it up now and then. And your artists really do a great job portraying characters through their expressions!

@VaranisArano So the plan is to do updates 1 to 2 times a year for new icons. Since it takes a bit of legwork to do, getting a bunch in one batch is the goal. So we should be adding another batch toward the end of the year. We'll be going through some of the promotional art for the year to pull some names also.

Thanks, and thanks also for clarifying how that works! Looking forward to seeing the batch when it comes out.

Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this! PinkApple and I were #1 and #2 two seasons in a row. I was at a 75-80% win rate.

I think people chalk up way too to RNG--there's a lot more strategy than first meets the eye! It takes a few matches to get the hang of it, but it's definitely worth trying out if you passed on this early.

Sounds like tales of tribute has a proper mmr system that is shared with players. Why is this the case here and not in battlegrounds? Or is there just no mmr in tales too?

Thanks 😊

Duke Of Crows cards seem to be a must-play so far.

Myself and a friend of mine, so far, have seen a pattern where you always buy a purple card if it is available and destroy purple cards so the enemy doesn't get them.

I think it boils down to the old mistake Magic the Gathering did: Drawing cards with a secondary effect is just extremely strong, as you basically have the effect for free (the draw card replaces the current card, effectively making it a free effect with no weight on your deck.)

Magic banned or limited those cards from Alpha/Beta/Revised Edition and made their mana cost much higher in later editions.

I think ToT would benefit from looking into this.
