Old Player coming back, haven't been here in a while

Welcome back! The meta hasn’t really changed in a year so whatever you were doing then is probably still fine.

If you missed it, the game is likely never getting another update and no longer has a dev team as far as we know, so don’t come back and expect change or new content :slight_smile:

There is still a dev team, we just don’t know what they are doing.

Okay, maybe I need to be more specific.

To the best of the community’s knowledge, there are zero people still working on Duelyst’s development as a game.

But hopefully I can eat those words some day :slight_smile:

To the best of our knowledge, we know nothing in any regard :slight_smile:

We know most if not all of the design team left Duelyst, and to our knowledge haven’t been replaced. We know the game hasn’t gotten an expansion or even an update in what, nearly a year now? I appreciate the positive attitude and I am making some assumptions, but I simply mean that if you come back to Duelyst you shouldn’t expect the game to change.

In the absence of information best bet is not to expect anything. I agree.

We do have this recent throwaway line from @yaviey :

(Emphasis mine)

I choose to remain hopeful… :wink:

I don’t expect anything but we don’t know what happens at CPG. Umbrella didn’t leave as an example.

ah, I see, so I take it Magmar is dominating the scene?

I left JUUUUUUST after the Mythron expansion, so I dont really remember much of the cards or mechanics

The most popular deck is Mag and there’s a number of strong Magmar archetypes but despite being the most popular I wouldn’t argue that it’s dominating things though others may disagree with that view.

For me being THAT popular is synonymous to dominating.

Yeah it pretty much depends on the meaning we give to “dominating”. That’s the faction with the most overtuned cards, and that’s the reason why you see ragnora and starhorn everywhere (i l’m quite sure my matches are 50%, if not more, vs magmar and 50% vs all other factions).

That said, magmar is arguably at the top of the food chain. I personally think that fault, titan wanderer rag an reva are all tier 0,just to name the most popular ones. Not to mention that heal ziran fell out of the meta somehow(or at least i see it very rarely) but it’s definetly still a thing.

Edit: forgot to mention eggmar, but you got the idea anyway

Actually, it’s borderline broken.

when has it honestly not been, the last time i logged on eggmar was supposedly tier B and it was still really strong and playable

It’s a super strong choice, but I doubt it will be as fun to play as it was back when it wasn’t so strong.
