Monsters of Norso Sneak Peek - Drengora, The Fierce

 Hello realmrunners - today I'm going to to be taking a deeper delve into a recent reveal from the upcoming set Monsters of Norso; this is Drengora, The Fierce.

Along with the art this comes with the flavour line 'The Monsters aren't the only force to be reckoned with in Norso Planum...' so, whatever faction the Monsters themselves are on (most likely Achrom I'd expect) this will be from a different faction so it's probably quite safe to assume that from the style of the art, along with this bit of text, we can expect that Drengora will be a more Chroma-aligned character, although whether they're mixed or fully Chroma is yet to be seen.

What else can we gather from all this though? Well given that it's a named Character they're going to be Heroic for sure and potentially a key one in their faction - whether that be canonically or within the faction's game mechanic is yet to be seen however. It's also highly likely they will be a rare or legendary card, although both Eirik of Lacringi and Magnus of Lacringi are heroic but only uncommons so this isn't necessarily guaranteed. 

Given the heavily armoured appearance of Drengora I would also expect them to have a high value so maybe 4 shards or even greater, putting them in the same sort of range as Gunnar of Brisgavi and Siv of Lacringi when it comes to combat effectiveness and with the weapon in hand it's likely that the ability will be something more combat oriented - maybe something akin to Shield Wall where it boosts its shards, maybe a Protection-y based ability, or maybe Drengora is related to the illusive Guard ability that we can see mentioned on the rules document despite not having the definition yet?

Looking at this card art, what else do you think it might do? Keep an eye out for it in the upcoming release of 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...

Custom Palette Showcase - New Model Pixie Army

Image
Hello realm runners and welcome to yet another breakdown of one of my custom Palettes! Today I thought I’d look at one of my old favourite legendaries from the first Spirata set, The Fall of Flutterby, and suit him up with the support we received in the newer set. So here he is, leading the Pixies, it’s Spiral Traitorius . The strategy is pretty simple for this one really; put down a lot of Pixies then use Spiral Traitorius or Achrom Factory to get a big Steal or Drain to win with a healthy amount of cards to help you control the Canvas. So let’s look at the cards themselves. Spiral Traitorius - Here to rack up a strong resolve. Every Character you’re looking to deploy boost it so shouldn’t be hard to get him to pay for himself the turn he’s deployed. Sorrono - Strong Pixie that allows you to answer multiple cards and has a decent resolve. Wincey Rustwhether - Painter that draws a card when deployed and gives you a good source of shards. Carmela Traitorius - Amazing control card ...

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 alway...
