 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...

Hello to you all realmrunners and welcome to another Card Highlight! This week I thought I’d shed a bit more light on a Rare card from Secrets of Spirata that has the potential to be a real hassle to deal with - the Infesting parasite Cordyceps . Unlike most of the other parasites from the set, Cordyceps can’t be used to Infest a Character straight from your hand; instead you deploy it like a normal Character and it jumps around whenever another Character is deployed afterwards, Infesting them and gaining you shards equal to their cost. Versus any opponent with big hitting resolve abilities, like those pictured below, this can really throw a spanner in the works for them since not only do they need to consider the fact you’ll gain shards off of them deploying a Character, but they’ll also lose its ability and resolve effect as well. So versus a reckless player you’ll be approaching 30 shards quickly whilst your more cautious opponents will be less willing to deploy Characters, ther...

 Hello to you all Realmrunners and welcome to another chapter analysis, this time we’re looking at Spirata’s second chapter, quite a heavily anticipated one among a lot of us more competitive players; The Secrets of Spirata. Chapter Overview From a Keyword perspective, this is quite a polarising set;  Menagerie  focuses very heavily on having multiple Character types on board and rushing for an aggro-esque victory whilst  Infest  is very much a control-based ability that’s main aim is to stun your opponent’s key cards, so overall, it’s a mix between Aggro and Control strategies. The other direction of the Chapter, coming from the Pixies, is very much Object-focused with several support cards for this card type within their Palettes. The main Legendaries show this off well with all of these themes having strong Characters to lead them. Removal & Interaction In this set we see one of the strongest removal Actions to date in Unfathomable Hunger ; not only can i...
