Chapter Analysis - Fall of Flutterby

Welcome to you all guys to the next instalment in my chapter analyses - this time going into one of the most competitive realms we currently have when it comes to Canvas tournaments; Fall of Flutterby.


Chapter Overview

This chapter brings with it some of the fastest keywords currently around with Splat and Squish; both function as ways to increase your cards' resolves as long as you control multiple cards on the canvas at once. Other than that this set also started to delve into the ability to reduce the costs of cards in your hand, allowing you to deploy cards for cheaper with the drawback of them having less trade value. As a result of all of this burst potential, the set does suffer from a lesser amount of control options; at least when compared to the previous chapters. 

The legendaries of these factions generally follow the pattern of influencing the resolve, whether it be boosting it or blocking it.


One area this set does excel is draw power with several cards replacing themselves when deployed.

Removal & Interaction

You’ll find the main forms of removal stapled to the heroic pixies Sorrono and Carmela Traitorius.

Outside of these there are a few actions that also give you some interaction potential, but its mostly character-focused.

Board Wipes

In this area, Spirata brings two notable cards, Pixie Prison, which doubles as generic character removal, and Giant Prism, however both have a catch either only hitting pixies or characters with achrom shards respectively. There is also a potential location wipe in Black Out, although this sees little to no play in constructed at this time.

Strong Resolve Cards

With the theme of the set being bursts of resolve, it’s no surprise this has one of the best cards in a vacuum devoted to gaining you shards; Full Palette.

Outside of this Splat very much takes the lead in giving you strong gain with Squish having one card that can significantly boost your drain.

Chroma or Achrom?

Due mainly to the restriction of most Squish effects only adding an extra drain while Splat goes as high as 4 with Wincey Rustwhether having the potential to go even higher, I have to say chroma takes it for me in this set.


You’ll find all these cards in their respective factions’ Unlimited Edition boxes on the Achroma store. You can also get yourself the whole lot, plus the accompanying Yana and Hod expansions, a copy of HAIM Shard Cache, a playmat and access to the TTRPG, Achroma Legends, in the Spirata Deluxe Realm Box.

 That's all from me for now guys!

A First Look - Monsters of Norso

Image
 Hello and welcome realmrunners! As we’re now well into sneak peek season for the up and coming Monsters of Norso the content creators of the community are starting to get our own individual cards to look over. So here’s the first piece I have - just some artwork to get us started off; The Minotaur’s Domain . Along with the artwork I’ve got the following little bit of lore to go with it - “The Minotaur resides here when he isn't out wandering the labyrinth.”  So what we know for sure is that it’s a Location that directly relates to ‘The Minotaur’ whom I suspect features in the set’s cover art. First impression I get from this art is that it’s very dark and misty, so most likely Achrom-leaning if not fully Achrom. It’s also giving me a very similar sort of feel to cards like Murky Manor  or Throne Room from the other realms; a very foreboding and shadowy building that’s most likely to be related to a very dark Character. With this similarity in mind I’m getting the feelin...

Competitive Talk - Palette Archetypes

Image
Hello realm runners and welcome! It’s been a hot minute since I did any competitive-based articles; since before the last GT actually, so thought it was about time to revisit them. As Achroma’s card-pool expands we start to see palettes across every realm that have similar playstyles or gameplans in how they are going to hit 30 shards or drain their opponents down to 0. For anyone already involved in the competitive scene of card gaming this topic is already a known thing; Archetypes . Generally speaking, when it comes to most card games, there are three main branches of  Archetypes; Aggro , Combo  &  Control . So let's give a general idea of what each one is for those not so familiar with them. Aggro  - Arguably the most simplistic Archetype  and very newbie-friendly; put out a lot of threats quickly so you're opponent is unlikely to be able to deal with everything and win through sheer force. Combo  - Using your cards in a way that they all synergise ...

So get put there and get fighting for your faction to bring them victory in their story! Along with a new season is com...
