Hi Everyone -
The card gallery is now available for the upcoming Hour of Devastation card set that goes live next week. This is the first batch of cards that will be available as we will be releasing additional cards in the coming weeks.
Wow.
Some ridicoulous cards, some great cards - I love the graveyard focus! - , some good cards, some meh cards - and some cards showing a serious lack of understanding how this game works (or intendet trolling?). I won’t begin speaking about power creep here, since cycling makes the whole discussion pointless. Cycling costs are overall a bit higher, but still too low to balance the concept - and the “direction” of making cycling more expensive the rarer the cards get, is still the exact opposite of what I would have expected
Thank you for letting exile-based removal filter in to non-masterpiece level cards
Finally a larger direct damage spell than Firecraft for red
Some real creativity shown these last two sets in card design
Bad things –
Just one. It’s a big one. Power creep. Are we going to repeat the mistakes of SOI/EMN? You can’t always rely on set rotation to bail you out. The Deserts are downright ridiculous, for example. It’s like putting Startled Awake at common level. For cheaper.
There has been a definite increase in power levels for common and uncommon. This is fantastic–it makes the game more accessible, and spreads out card power in a more equitable manner. However, I question the sheer amount of power of some of the cards, regardless of their rarity level.
I think it was implemented as a way to let people add a dash of troll to their decks. Sacrifice a deck slot to make your deck a little more annoying to play against.
What struck me was the card Solemnity, when oppenent cycles a card the last card of your opponents hand is destroyed… since the AI never cycles isn’t this card never going to work or have they fixed the AI?
We had actually just requested our web developer update the Masterpiece gallery not long ago, so you’re actually one of the first people to see the updated page. (No joke. I hadn’t even seen it yet)
We’ll be sure to update the thread to inform everyone that we’ve added the new Masterpieces to the gallery
