Akash‘Thryia hint

Hi boys and girls. Just in case you didn‘t know it, if playing Akas’Thryia you should always have a look at the top card of the environment deck. You won‘t know which card will be played  (okay, for those smartypants of you, if there is just one card you will know it) but at least you will know from which deck that card will be. This was just a friendly reminder. I assume that a lot people already knew it but from time to time if playing online I notice that some rules/features are missed like this one, or the repeat decision feature which was added in one of the latest updates, or if using the Concordant Helm you should always draw first because if it‘s your first action during your turn you will get 2 cards. That‘s it, have a good time saving the multiverse.

That's actually very helpful, thank you! I tend to not pay any attention to the card backs since I only play digitally and it never occurred to me that you'd be able to see what deck it was from.

Also! It makes it easier since the bright white/silver backgrounds make it easy to identify. Stands out a lot more

 

only other set that has such a distinct colour is the ones from Vengenace (I really hate the red)


I THOUGHT I was the the last Scion but it's actually .....

Also relevant in digital when you're in the Temple of Zhu Long, except there it's the cards atop your hero decks that you might want to be aware of.

Especially if you've done something that shuffled a Shinobi Assassin out from the top of your deck and into the middle, so can't rely on the simple "Next time I draw a card, NINJAS!" heuristic.


Let R be the set containing of all sets which do not contain themselves. Is R contained in R?

You can see reward cards on top of decks, Ambuscade's traps, and poor Graham Pike.

Nice touch to make Ambuscade's traps visible, seeing as how they go off instantly when they're on top.

Oh, and I think it's possible for Guise to use I can do that, too! on Prime Wardens Captain Cosmic's Absorption and Termi-Nation Unity's Reconfigure to shuffle a construct/mechanical golem into his deck, which would eventually lead to a Unity/Captain Cosmic card atop Guise's deck.

One might even, were one inclined, stream a three-hour video of making the largest possible infernal detonator using techniques such as these!  Magma monster?  Gotta catch ‘em all!

Someone did something like that involving Lifeline https://youtu.be/dPgpfDOhaL8 but it was to put as much under OmniCannon not Infernal Detonator

Oooh, that's delightful!

Using I can do that, too! on tiny Sky-Scraper's Sneaking to return links from play to his hand, and Lemme see that... on the Orphic Repository as a way to move Lifeline cards to Guise.

Thanks for the link.

Gosh diddly darnit, I thought it was the detonator
