 Hello realmrunners and welcome back! Today I’ve got quite an exciting update as a new rules document has been released, now version 2.2, which you can read in full  here . What I really want to focus on today though is the fundamental change to, what is often regarded as, one of the weaker keywords in Achroma; Hunt . Here’s the initial ability of the keyword from when The Last Snow Dragons of Altari landed on the shelves. The need to target an opponent’s Character; have both the Hunter and target survive a full turn; along with the delay in the effect going off, put this strategy at a severe disadvantage versus others, especially since the other keyword to emerge from the set was Freeze which has become a staple in any competitively driven Draco Palette. With the new rules update there’s quite a significant change to it that could really improve its standing. See if you can spot it in the updated description below. The ability to target any Character, not just your opponent’...

 Hello realmrunners - I’m back this week with another dive into one of my custom Palettes, this time focusing on a very basic strategy headed up one of the first Legendaries to come out, Cara Curdle . Here’s the list. The plan is quite simplistic really; throw down a lot of Characters back up with good control options to deal with anything bigger your opponent puts out and use your resolves that benefit off of your wide boardstate to hit 30 shards. Now let’s look at the individual cards. Cara Curdle - Face of the Palette. She helps you double down on your resolves while giving you a lot of prevent and making it harder for Achrom cards to interact with your Canvas. Detective Huxon - Gains you more shards the more cards you have on your canvas, perfect fit for this strategy. Detective Vraxea - Gives your smaller Characters a bit more survivability or can even allow you to be more aggressive with them.  Rabid Dog - Poisonous Character to help with board control. Sea Serpent ...

Hello realmrunners - today was a very special delivery day at Five Realms Gaming Lounge as, after much waiting, the new booster boxes for Achroma finally arrived. Realm Runner Studios very generously gave me a whole box to myself so I could give you guys a full account of just what you can expect out of it!  From first impressions it’s clear there’s been deeper planning behind this product than the initial run of boosters we received last year, which is great to see; the artwork is a lot more refined and the box itself is adorned with the realms’ symbols as well as a detailed blurb laying out the basic overarching story of Achroma, as well as a QR code which takes you to a Linktree  for all the relevant Achroma pages related to the game. The boosters themselves are still made from paper but they look and feel far more refined than their predecessors. But let’s move onto the main reason you’re buying these; what do you get from a full box? Each individual pack gives you 6 cards...

Hello realmrunners and welcome back! With the upcoming launch of new boosters for Chapter 1 which, I suspect, will also have with it an updated Realm Rift draft model; Objects will soon become much more in the limelight than they currently are. So this got me thinking - every realm has its own way that Objects are important to it and how each one interacts with them is very different across the lot so I thought I’d take a bit more of a dive into what each one looks for currently and the stand-out ones, for me, from each realm. Realmless Let’s start with the section relevant to every realm - the realmless Objects, known as the Realm Relics, that have a few shining stars among them. Cintimani Stone - You either love it or love to hate it. I’ve already done an article going into the details of why this Object is so infamous  here . There’s nothing much more to add really, if your Palette only plays a single Object, chances are it’s this one right here. Club of Dagda  - Getting t...

 Hello realmrunners and welcome to another article, this time highlighting a card I've noticed has seen very little exposure so far, despite having oodles of potential. Here's Chromatic Infusion . Let's start by just taking the base value of the card as we read it; you pay 4 shards to Erase any card you like and, until your next turn comes around, if a Character with an Achrom shard on it is Erased at all, you draw a card - which can also include the card you Erase with its own ability. Whilst not a bad card in itself, it's safe to say you're definitely paying a premium to perform an ability which is already present in the same set on the Uncommon card Unfathomable Hunger . So to see past, what might seem like, quite a steep cost behind Chromatic Infusion you need to understand that it's best potential comes from it being something to play ahead of any major move you're about to make that would Erase a fair amount, if not all, of your opponent's Characte...

Hello to you all realmrunners! Well last night was a fantastically fun evening with games played, some fun auctioning of graded collectible cards and plenty of players getting the chance to get a whole selection of things signed by some of the team. Everyone who attended got a copy of Dexter Master of Dragons as well as the promo location The Secrets of Spirata and a random pin in the new hex style, which I was lucky enough to snag a Conjurer Otrix!  I personally managed to snag myself graded first edition Countess Issadora Curdle and Darnacusk in the auction and got a copy of Haskus , one of my favourite drake Characters, signed by the artist, Marco!  In the auction we also saw copies of the promo locations;  The Fall of Flutterby ;  The Siege of Draco   Temple ;   and The Curse of Curdle Hill which all got snagged up, with Curdle Hill’s promo going for £35 in the end! Also one particular highlight for me was ending up in a 4-player game, where we all ...
