Permanent 50% Bonus Diamonds

And this year’s “Most Annoying Chicken Little” reward goes to you! Those emoticons really helped you win this dubious reward!

Seriously though, I am still in the wait and see mode right now. We still have two whole months to go through, so don’t count those chickens before they hatch.

On the plus side, a sale on diamonds for the rest of the year is pretty nice.

What rank are you? I can’t imagine a situation where someone who plays at a decently high level doesn’t understand how busted Magmar is.

Broken AoE, some of the best on-curve minions, some of the best healing (not super relevant right now, but it’s still a tech option), incredible Tempo-heavy minions like Slasher and rush minions, some ridiculously broken utility spells like Flash and even Greater Fortitude in some cases. Magmar generally has a pretty low skill ceiling too because of how powerful Magmar’s on-curve minions and Tempo minions are.

Ripper is also disgustingly powerful. All of this makes Wanderer Rag more broken than it already is, because 3-mana Ragebinders and 5-mana Slashers have an even stronger impact on the board after Wanderer. The faction has so many broken cards that even if you don’t play Wanderer, the deck isn’t much worse than a standard Magmar deck because of how strong all the cards are individually; Many people choose to run 2 flash because the downside of not opening with one isn’t awful, and that really says something about Wanderer Rag.

I just want to make it clear that Magmar is pretty busted. I’m a Starhorn main, so I’ve had a fair share of Magmar’s broken tools, and although I couldn’t mind ramping Metallurgist into a Slasher turn 2, I know Magmar needs a nerf to keep this game healthy.

Broken tools aren’t necessarily degenerate in games like a Duelyst. Blood of Air and Juxtaposition are both insanely powerful cards, but the presence of the cards in their respective factions just force players to play around them as best as they can, and hopefully even force their opponents to make tough decisions so their broken tools won’t be so impactful. The problem with Magmar and the number of powerful cards the faction has is that it’s so difficult (almost impossible to be honest) to play around and force bad decisions when your opponent seems to have every option covered. Want to establish a board? Silithar and Ragebinder, check. Tempo? That Slasher is looking good. Oh shit, you forgot to play around Makantor, now you’re gonna wish that you weren’t born. Played around Makantor? Plasma Storm doesn’t sound so bad, and neither does dropping a few more minions that my opponent will have a hard time dealing with.

I would be lying if I said that I didn’t like Magmar. The faction is honestly pretty fun, but the power level of Magmar (specifically Ragnora) in comparison to some other generals/factions (outside of Wanderer and maybe even Aggro/Arcanyst, Songhai isn’t doing so well this meta) is way too high for a healthy game.

End of rant. I hope you can respect my points :))) I’m just trying to have a friendly discussion haha

That was obviously sarcastic.

you know, this “permanent” diamond sale lasting only up until the end of the year makes me feel like the game won’t be there when 2019 comes lol xD

I mean, I’ll definitely buy some orbs but come on xD
I know duelyst wording has always been vague like that but not like this please xD

I know people already get this but I’m gonna vent for one post Idk who thought the sale was a good idea but they really really f***ed up. It’s like they said, “ what won’t look super suspicious but, will also let us cash out before the game dies? An orb sale that lasts until the end of the year? That’s brilliant, they’ll never see it coming” :smiling_imp:

Nice, real nice

I know, but I found it funny a whole discussion arose about it from a 50% diamond sale

Or maybe they just want to reward loyal consumers.

Look, maybe a cigar is just a cigar. There maybe is no hidden bad message.
