Card Highlight - Dyrnwyn

 Hello all and welcome to another Card Highlight!

Today I thought I’d look into a real underdog of the Realm Relics that has some real potential, especially if your Palette already has a lot of Object synergies; Dyrnwyn.

On face value it already adds a good amount of Strength to your Character whilst also being a decent option for Trade fodder should the need arise, but its the ability it brings that is quite unique.

Making Locations as valid attack targets really changes the dynamic of the game as suddenly it becomes a lot easier to remove them, especially since they don’t hit back as they don’t have any Strength values. Even putting this on something as little as a Character with just 2 Strength allows you to run over all of those really powerful locations that some Palettes often rely on. 

On top of this it can also be a reasonable source of gain for you when you do manage to attack your opponents Locations as well, even if its just knocking those smaller value ones down. I personally always like to pair it with a card that has Rage, or gives it to the equipped Character, so that the turn it goes down I can knock out 2 of my opponent’s Locations in a single turn, especially if the Character you’re putting it on is Brisgavi Raider as then you’ll draw multiple cards while gaining shards, all while Erasing your opponents best Locations!


Its synergies aren’t just limited to Norso either; Spirata also has some powerful Object support in it, especially in the most recent set Secrets of Spirata. 


So when it comes to building your custom Palette, if you find you’re having difficulty dealing with your opponent’s Locations consistently and have some decent Object synergy pieces that either Find or Dig an Object, give Dyrnwyn a try. You might find it a very valuable part of your strategy with its utility. You’ll find it in Ray’s Realmrunner expansion which is part of the Draco realm.


That's all from me for now guys!

The Achroma store is currently doing an offer of 25% off the majority of their products with some even bigger discounts on bundles of The Warriors of Wishwell Unlimited boxes and their expansions to help you get ready for the next chapter, The Monsters of Norso!


See ya real soon folks!

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

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 feeling it’s goi

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 with each other to ge
