Card Highlight - Lacringi Catapult

 Hello and welcome to you realmrunners!

Back with another Card Highlight and this time, thinking ahead to the next set to expect, I thought I’d go through all the Norso cards we currently have at our disposal and thought there’s one particular one that I don’t think gets enough exposure for how powerful it can be; Lacringi Catapult.

At face value it already seems quite an impactful card; the Action on it allows it to either Erase cards with smaller values, whether they’re Characters, Locations or Objects; finish off damaged Characters from combat that happened earlier in the turn; or weaken stronger Characters so your weaker ones can take them out.

But to take this a step further, The Warriors of Wishwell set has in it a whole host of Object support that include Shard Value reduction as well as cards that can Find & Dig them. On top of this it’s quite easy to Find & Dig those cards too so you can have a proper synergistic package in your Palette that enables you to grab Lacringi Catapult, or any other Objects for that matter, as soon as possible and get it back to re-play it whenever you need to.


 In terms of cards the Action can one-shot there’s the host of Poisonous Characters which immediately spring to mind as potential targets for this, although it’s worth noting that, due to the 2 Shard Value of Lacringi Catapult itself, if you deploy it onto a Character that’s able to attack that turn it can take the hit from a standard Poisonous Character without the attached Character taking any damage from the combat.


 Outside of this there’s several powerful cards from every realm that Lacringi Catapult can make short work of that, for me, always make it worth trying to fit into your Norso Palettes. Especially as this gives you some effective Location removal for some that can become quite problematic if you can’t otherwise Erase them.


As previously mentioned, this is all on-top of the fact that you can use Lacringi Catapult to inflict enough damage to make it easier to Erase stronger Characters as well so it makes a fantastic and flexible form of removal. Along with the fact there’s already a decent amount of support to Dig & redeploy it as well if needed to add to that and the more times you can play it in a game, the more you’ll see how powerful such a seemingly simple Action is.

You’ll find Lacringi Catapult in any of the Lacringi faction sets or grab yourself the entire of the Warriors of Wishwell, including the accompanying Realm Runner expansions a playmat and a copy of HAIM Shard Cache, by getting the Deluxe Realm Box.

That's all from me for now guys!

Keyword Highlight - Curse

Image
 Hello there Realm Runners! Welcome back to another Keyword Highlights! This time, to keep in touch with the spirit of Halloween, I’ll be going into Curse. As always let’s begin with the definition from the website.  This might seem like a very vague description but Curse is intended as a means to an end rather than an ability which does things by itself. To start with you’ll need to use your cards to Curse your opponent’s; this can be done by certain characters, locations, objects and actions, all found in the Moonveil Coven faction’s palettes from A Conjuring at Curdle Cove, as well as some characters and locations that are already Cursed (stated in their description at the top of the card next to their card type) so there’s plenty of opportunity to do it. Then there are several cards that interact with Cursed cards such as those below. On top of this there are some cards that have abilities tied to Cursed cards that get more powerful the more of them there are. Dark Rainbow its

Competitive Talk - What are ‘Staples’?

Image
Hello to you all and welcome to another of my Competitive Talk articles!  Today I want to delve into an area that people less experienced with card games might not be so familiar with but it’s something that, no matter the game is always present especially on the tournament scene - ‘ Staples ’. In every card game ever created there are always certain cards that stick out as being incredibly versatile and generic in what they can do so you’ll find them appear in most, if not all, of the strongest decks within the game. Achroma is no exception to this pattern; whilst the separation of palettes into the different Realms makes wide arcing staples less frequent, within each one there are stand-out cards that I’d always be looking to fit into my palettes regardless of the overall theme of it if I was looking to make it a top tier build.  I know I’ve already talked through a few of these cards in more detail in my Card Highlight series but I thought that, as the game grows, it always helps t

  Hello there Realm Runners, I hope you’re all doing well! As September has now come to a close, so too does Draco Summer season - With Tenebris’ attack successful and the Dragon Temple now fallen the next question is….
