I really should not have been eating while reading your post. There is now burrito all over my screen.

I mean, I hate Magmar because a single Plasma Storm wrecks my wraithling army.
Been leaning onto Vanar as my main now.
EDIT: Made a Songhai deck just for the Quests. It revolved on my general doing the damage physically with Mask of Shadows (8 damage, baby) and using Silhouette Tracer to get me behind, holding the enemy general down with cheap provokers and knocking out enemy minions with Dancing Blades, Ghost Lightning or Phoenix Fire. Works surprisingly well. Got me to 2 ranks up using it during the quest.
Did not expect it.

Congrats man.
Have you seen the four new cards that will be out by December? Honestly, I'm more excited for Jaxi rather than the three others. xD

No, to be honest I haven't

I see. They're up somewhere in the reddit forums... I forgot.
Play with us Mustika. D:
Quote from MustikaWow, those musics. Dem game. Still newbie here, but this game's pretty much catching my interest bit. Thanks for sharing, GMR.
Have no fav. deck yet since I'm still being picky with it. Just gotta need to play more to figure it out later.

Lol, Error XD To be real honest I haven't played this game again much since I posted that. Such card game is really new to me but I'll consider in going back to this once I get more free time (and regain my interest). Was kinda laggy in my browser though, but I'm just currently trying to finish all the quests to sharpen my skill in this.

Hooray for the vague return :D

post it on imgur or stash and then post it here :D

I don't have any experience with either of those. I'll maybe do it eventually but I don't have the time now and it's not that important.
Edit: apparently I didn't save it anyway.

On imgur, you'd just have to take a screenshot [usually its an existing button on a keyboard: PrtSc] then Ctrl+V it on the site after clicking a button on the top menu. Its easy that way or just paste it on Paint and upload it from there.
Anyway, I see you're Rank 9 now. What deck do you use? All I've been doing is keeping up quests and First Win of the Day. A pack a day basically. Am not bothering with climbing the ladder at this stage [or the days before] since I focused on gathering cards and little to no dusting. You seem to very lucky with orbs too wahah. All I have is a Zurael, Dark Nemesis, 2 Lady Lockes and a couple of Mask of Shadows.

I'm using abyssian swarm with 3 shadowwatchers (That's what these deathwatch gain+1/+1 are called, right?) 3 bloodmoon pristesses, 2 deepfire devourers and 1 shadowdancer (I need to craft one more) many little cards who spawn lots of minions (such as gloomchaser and this three wraithlings-card) to repopulate the board after getting aoed or sacrificing your stuff and the ocassional shadow creep cards, removal and tech-cards but no taunts or ranged.
I feel like the deck's biggest weakness is the lack of healing. It's nice for a start but it's far from perfect.
I don't even do the all quests (unless I get good ones) since I don't have that much time to play right now and I have only 2 classes fully leveled. And I don't level the others since I don't wanna lose ranks. So I'm holding my rank right now and take a look at what my opponents play to figure out the meta in this game. Gonna level everything this december after the reset of the ranks though. I might build a decent deck for every class then.
Other topic: How important is healing in your opinion? I see many people having lots of healing in their decks (I don't even mean lyonar heal-synergy decks. Everyone just seems to run these 4/4 knights who heal) and I kinda don't want to do that since it seems too slow whereas a powerswing would be more useful. Especially as an abyssian I prefer keeping the pressure up. So, what about healing in general and how much healing should you run in different decks in your opinion?

On healing, I'd usually run at least a set of Healing Mystic or Emerald Rejuvenator. It really depends on your playstyle and confidence that you'd always get what you need.
I run healers because I know I'll need them. Emeralds are awesome, not just coz they curve well [4 Core for 4 heal and a 4/4 body] but they have the decent board presence especially with decks that I place them. I use Emeralds on Vetruvians, giving them Cosmic Flesh later on to keep opponents locked in place when I'm low on health or in need to deal the finisher. Healing Mystics are good 2 drops because: has a 2/3 body and their heal goes to either the general or the creature.
For me, a bit of healing can go a long way and I've played a Songhai for a bit now to realize how much healing can destroy your momentum. Not just Healyonar but anything that plays Emerald Rejuvenator or Healing Mystic.
In general, if you like to play safe, have a set of any of the two. There are other Neutrals that heal but most of the community prefer either of the two. If you prefer to rush, go for it. Hope that their heals don't ruin your tempo and you'll be fine.
The December Patch has come upon us:
Opinions:
[spoiler=]
Jaxi :: He's a good two drop. Like really good. Enough for a dispel target. Early game, for a 2/2 body for 2. Its a decent exchange and when he dies, he summons a mini-jax [ranged] on some corner.
Firestarter :: I'm sort of excited to see combo-induced tokens from Songhai but it seems far in the turns to see play. By the time turn 5 shows up, the opponent was either OTK'd already or at the brink of death [in good draws]. Maybe as a tech card?
GrailMaster :: I see this as a new Rook? Isn't it like a new Rook?
Khymera :: Did they just...make a creature that can summon Mechaz0r out of nothing? Even if its RNG, the fact that it can disturbs me. Or it may just summon a 0/2 wall. Or a wraithling. It is in the realm of wtf and I don't know. 5/12 body is good though. Probably Magmar can handle that 8 Core requirement. Flash, flash, flash.
Apparently you can get more than one Mechaz0r.

Since 2-drops are very important, Jaxi is kind of an auto-include in basicly any faction but magmar and lyonar (because tempest and plasma storm). This card is pretty damn good at least in my opinion.
But you know that the game needs more players when you play gauntlet and lose against the same guy three games in a row. (It was so sad. I had 5 wins already and no losses.)
