Trials of Mythron- Oak in the Nemeton

Given the word ‘have’ I think it’s at the same time, but I also feel that might be unreasonably hard.

Given the wording, I definitely think you must have all the token minions on the board at the same time. If so, the card would be completely unplayable :-/ It’s not very inventive or strong either, I guess the developers ran a little out of gas when designing this one. It doesn’t even match any of the Vanar themes

Plays like normal arc until you can pull the play off.

I can only play it on the turn that I have the 5 minions on board or any time after I have achieved it?

Even though i’m a HUGE sucker for vanar and howlers in praticular, i think i’m about to pass on this one.

Too meme and the time i invest putting into preserving thw board i can just win

Based on this, as long as you’ve had 5 different token minions on the board at the same time, you can play the card whenever.

@ThanatosNoa Plz help(no discoverable meme plz)

Sadly Winter’s Wake is rotating, and since this doesn’t let the Walls move I’m not convinced it would be as solid a combo.

However… I think I like this. It’s not super easy to pull off since most token generation is expensive mana-wise, and the wording makes it sound like you have to have 5 types out at once… but depending on how the interaction works it could be totally worth it. It’s rare for your opponent to remove every wall on your board in one turn, Luminous Charge is still a good enough card, and Embla basically ensures you get 3 tokens on the field at once unless you’re really unlucky. Actually Embla in general is nuts with this card, since removing the buffed walls will be basically impossible (bar EMP) and they then just kill the opponent next turn. Cirrculus/Prismatic Illusionist, Wintertide/Voice of the Wind and that new Treat minion can all provide extra token types and are good solo cards, and the two remaining Aspect cards could be used on Wall Spells to diversify the number of tokens you have for fairly low costs. And this isn’t even considering other summoners like Fenrir Warmaster, Drake Dowager, Myriad or Firestarter… oh goodness Firestarter after playing this is INSANE.

Given the relative difficulty of the other trial conditions I have to think this is “Have 5 Token types on board simultaneously”, but the key thing to note is that is to unlock the minion. Once you’ve cleared the trial you should be able to just summon this minion even if you lose one of those toke types, which greatly helps the playability. And as soon as you get it you could throw Gravity Well on board and put your opponent in a real tough spot.

I like it. Unlike the other Mythrons it isn’t strictly an auto-win upon playing it, but it’s a little easier to clear as a result.

Some other fun things with this:

  1. This is pretty good against Songhai since it turns Panddo’s against them by providing a rough token for them to remove.
  2. If you want to super-meme Khymera can spawn a ton of tokens you can’t otherwise get in Vanar, so that could be fun.
  3. It could be interesting vs other Vanar decks that use Aspects against you if they’re unable to kill them in one shot.

Thank you based loremaster, helping the lazy boys like me to get through the reveals.

This is so vague I don’t even know what I’m helping with :magsad:

explain the condition, does it have to be all 5 at the same time?

I believe you need to have 5 different(ly named) tokens at the same time.

Get your Emblas out and prepare to have a wild ride.

Buildings and sentinal is considered token, right?

Oh, one thing I forgot in my original post - I much prefer this to Magmar’s Mythron because the condition to play it doesn’t require you to play a bunch of clunky combo cards. Wall spells and Arcanyst minions are all very good in their own right, and don’t need other cards to work with them. Stuff like Gravity Well and Luminous Charge can be played by themselves no problem, so your deck is less likely to brick whilst you try and assemble spare walls and so on to make this work.

totally forgot about those :sweat:

I believe so, yes. Aspect spells also turn minions into tokens (all except for shimzar, but shimzar is rotating out).

That’s correct.

The condition looks a bit hard to fulfill, although Vanar does have the largest arsenal of token generators out of all of the factions so maybe it will work out.

One thing to keep in mind if this does turn out to be playable is that, as with all Mythron minions, your opponent will know right away that this is your wincon since you start the game with six cards instead of 5. However, unlike previously revealed Mythrons your opponent can actually interact with your Trial progression and will probably try their best to prevent you from fulfilling the Trial.

Although, every deck should run mythron cards as this means they are running less cards.
