Trials of Mythron Preview Polls!

[thematsjo]

bolster… does lyonar really need more beef? its good, especially in swarm of divine bond, but the point of those decks is to win fairly quickly. is there a tier inbetween staple and viable?

I’m feeling similarly conflicted on this one too, not sure how to evaluate it at all. We have tons of beef cards already and this one costs card advantage and doesn’t offer tempo.

krater is just what magmar needs to tip self harm based decks over the edge into the meta. with krater alone metamorphosis, twin fang, blood rage, and much more are moved out of meme tier

I’m on the fence on this one because I’m not sure if Magmar pain hasn’t happened yet because its synergies were still slightly too hard to enable.

haruspex OP 4 mana 7/6? how do you answer that turn 2? and does magmar really care if their opponent draws cards? they have so many things to turn that downside into a positive

That’s what I’m thinking too. I don’t think Magmar’s played the resource management game in quite a while and with all the draw in this game milling a few key cards is likely to be worth more than trying to starve the opponent for cards, especially in faction with so much symmetrical draw.

somebody ground up ooz, then shoved the remains into a sphere of darkness to make painful pluck. its a creep card through and through with some synergy with darkspine elemental, and choking tendrils, but not much else

legion is ok… well at least youll never worry about mill or card advantage ever again

mortar is good. but not good enough compared to everything else magmar has in the 5 slot. any other faction would kill for it, but magmar has to actually think if it wants this over all its other staples. and you know how good magmar is at thinking…

war exorcist is good in every deck ironcliffe is good in and more

okkadok… well it wont replace young silithar, but its certainly better than a lot of magmars other 2 drops/

ac-cumulo-nimbus is OP AS HELL. especially combined with khan. or ya know… aggro of any kind. its good enough to play the first time as basically a better tiger without as much reach. then it gets crazy.

mirrorrim is going to warp the meta by its mere presence. all minions that you dont play because they just get answered will see play. intensify minions obviously benefit. and dont get me started on the autoincludes.

ya messed up the trial poll

[phoenixtoasches]

The songhai mythron card is suck to the tenth. Just wanted to put that out there. The only reason why I didn’t completely say it was trash is because it can probably work out 1/1000 times.

I don’t know what messed it up, but here’s a second attempt.

[oranos]

i would argue otherwise. look at midrange kaleos. he plays 1drops(though katara is rotating out), 2 drops(bandit), 3 drops(foxes or sentinels), 4 drops(flamewreath), 5 drops(hamon), 6 drops(zendo or painter), and 7 drops(EMP)

all it needs is some bloodtears and curving out and all of a sudden all of your minions are transformed into better bloodtears

edgelord is the maehv support we needed

[gsvalhalla]

If all the Mythron rarity cards are like the 2 that we have seen so far, then I’m kinda worried that they are all going to be too slow to see any real play beyond being a meme deck. Despite the cool concept of the cards.

[thematsjo]

Back at it again with the polls! I’ll be compiling the spoilers into an overview to make the pre-release community consensus visible. It’ll be fun looking back in a few weeks and seeing how right and wrong we were.

@thematsjo, why Alcuin Fugitive is trash in your opinion? Seems quite powerful in Arcanyst and/or Spell intensify decks…I’m going to immediately craft 2-of him.
