2 Mana combo, kill a minion, generate creep tile.
1 Mana leave a 3/3
3 Mana leave a protected 0/2
3 Mana sacc a minion, kill a minion…
I dunno, one seems a lot better and more efficient than the others…
We need a fixed post for duelyst memes

If they ping that threat they’re leaving my other stuff on board. Doesn’t really matter, when it comes down to it it feels the same as the other removals.
Besides, Cassyva doesn’t really have much else. Songhai us diverse and dangerous threats, Vanar can ramp and slap a Meltdown on five mana, Magmar has a ton of big bodies, Cassyva just plays a single easy to remove threat every once in a while.

I received a beta key from Hi-Rez studios for their new game Smite Tactics - and that game’s resemblance to Duelyst is uncanny. I have an extra key, so anyone here can have it if you’re interested.
I wanted to make a thread for this, but it’s off-topic because it’s not primarily about Duelyst, so I guess I’ll do that here instead.
Initial impression after trying it out: BURN IN HELL LO-REZ
Fine if they are ‘borrowing’ others’ concepts, but can they try to conceal that fact by a bit?
Smite is defendable because they gave MOBAs literally a new angle to look at, so it’s okay I guess. Some features of Paladins exist before Overwatch did, so I’ll begrudgingly let that pass.
Smite Tactics is blatant plagarism from Duelyst, and they don’t even try to coneal that fact. The gameboard is literally the same size (5x9), nearly identical rules and mechanics. Oh yeah, the mechanics are slightly different from Duelyst/Hearthstone: Hero Power doesn’t cost the same, Ward/Taunt/Provoke/Guard.etc is slightly different, and generals have different attacks and is ranged instead of melee! So different from Duelyst that I could make slight alterations to Duelyst’s base mechanics to make it identical to Smite Tactics (except Duelyst is better in every aspect)!
I’m genuinely infuriated by Lo-Rez studio’s development directions and the quality of work. A middleschool student could do a better work at plagiarising - at least they would try to be discrete!
They card art and interface is horrible. Mechanics are boring. I will keep playing it only to prove my point that this game is a blatant piece of low-quality plagiiarism that does not deserve ANY investment of time or money.

Ofc I check the cost of ritual and forget how much punish costs.

To be fair, Duelyst didn’t exactly invent the idea of turn based, board based tactical card games, nor the Provoke/Guard/Taunt/Whatever else prevents you from going face, Nor the Atk/Health/Toughness/you get the point. It just melded the concepts together to create the game it is. No one game can lay claim to anything other than its cards, visual assets, sound assets, and maybe some mechanics. So it doesn’t really matter if Smite Tactics took some ideas from Duelyst or Hearthsone, so long as they use those ideas in their own ways to create a game that can be fun, it isn’t plagiarism.
Of course whether or not it’s good is another question entirely…

Sure, Duelyst isn’t completely original either. Every idea must have some sort of predecessors, and Duelyst did take a lot of inspiration from other CCGs. But Duelyst combined the ideas well and made itself unique. Smite Tactics, on the other hand, is far too similar to Duelyst.
There is a fine line between spiritual predecessors/taking good ideas and inspirations and combine them together and blatant plagiarism. Maybe it’s a bit early for me to judge, so I will spend some more time on this Smite Tactics or whatsoever to see if it has any unique and original mechanics.

Weird? I did send Liam Neeson to warn you…
Also, I like a lot of posts…maybe it seems that way because you are posting more frequently.
Though I am going back to some old posts, too.

A very large number of newer humans were simply an idea to older humans at some point. It’s all relatively downhill from there.

Sure, but you’ll have to wait a bit.
I’m on my phone now. The email they sent me didn’t show well on the phone, so I can’t copy the code to you at the moment. Expect me in around 2 hours
