Card Highlight - Gunnar of Brisgavi

 Hello to you all realmrunners and welcome to another of my Card Highlights!

Continuing to look to the realm of Norso I thought I’d look at one particular troll that stood out to me from early on in my time with Achroma; Gunnar of Brisgavi.

At face value it ticks a lot of boxes for being a very versatile card; it has a high Strength & Shard Value to do well in combat and for general trade fodder in a pinch. Also its resolve ability, that closely resembles the high potential Actions of Isaz and Peorth, is beneficial and within The Warriors of Wishwell itself, also quite easy to increase to a powerful level, especially given that the faction its part of has plenty of cards that have both cyan and achrom shards present on them.

But further to this, due to Gunnar of Brisgavi’s samr troll typing you can find him quite easily through Brisgavi Cave Dwelling or, if the need arises, Cave Expedition Revealing Brisgavi Cave Dwelling, making is surprisingly easy to access within Norso Palettes.

At the right moment Gunnar of Brisgavi is a card that can truly turn games in your favour, whether you need a boost of shards with a lot of cyan on your board or need to hit your opponent’s shard bank harder to knock them down a couple of notches, this is definitely a card best suited to correct timing to make the biggest impact. There’s very little in-faction support to Dig him back so, unless you rely on Cintimani Stone to give Gunnar of Brisgavi a second shot, you’ll find it a very expensive card to get back on the Canvas should it get removed. 

The great thing about Gunnar of Brisgavi, as I stated at the beginning, is the versatility of his resolve. The Warriors of Wishwell already has a decent selection of cards that can allow you to use him for either purpose so this is a card that will likely always have a home somewhere in your Norso Palettes provided your colours are in there as it adds extra value to those cards.

The question is; is this isolated samr troll one to look out for further down the road with his versatility and The Monsters of Norso coming? Or will something bigger come along to take up that rare spot of your Brisgavi Palettes?  


That's all from me for now guys!

The Achroma store is currently doing an offer of 25% off, including their first edition sets like The Secrets of Spirata so its even easier to get ready for the next chapter, The Monsters of Norso!

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 ...
