Card Highlight - Chromatic Infusion

Image
 Hello realmrunners and welcome to another article, this time highlighting a card I've noticed has seen very little exposure so far, despite having oodles of potential. Here's Chromatic Infusion . Let's start by just taking the base value of the card as we read it; you pay 4 shards to Erase any card you like and, until your next turn comes around, if a Character with an Achrom shard on it is Erased at all, you draw a card - which can also include the card you Erase with its own ability. Whilst not a bad card in itself, it's safe to say you're definitely paying a premium to perform an ability which is already present in the same set on the Uncommon card Unfathomable Hunger . So to see past, what might seem like, quite a steep cost behind Chromatic Infusion you need to understand that it's best potential comes from it being something to play ahead of any major move you're about to make that would Erase a fair amount, if not all, of your opponent's Characte...

Dragon Rider Day - The Review

Image
Hello to you all realmrunners! Well last night was a fantastically fun evening with games played, some fun auctioning of graded collectible cards and plenty of players getting the chance to get a whole selection of things signed by some of the team. Everyone who attended got a copy of Dexter Master of Dragons as well as the promo location The Secrets of Spirata and a random pin in the new hex style, which I was lucky enough to snag a Conjurer Otrix!  I personally managed to snag myself graded first edition Countess Issadora Curdle and Darnacusk in the auction and got a copy of Haskus , one of my favourite drake Characters, signed by the artist, Marco!  In the auction we also saw copies of the promo locations;  The Fall of Flutterby ;  The Siege of Draco   Temple ;   and The Curse of Curdle Hill which all got snagged up, with Curdle Hill’s promo going for £35 in the end! Also one particular highlight for me was ending up in a 4-player game, where we all ...

Hello realmrunners, hope you’re all doing well - tomorrow is upon us; Dragon Riders Day down at Five Realms Gaming Lounge! I will be down from early on for anyone who fancies getting in a few games throughout the evening. I’ve also put together some boxes full of every card from each of the realms so, if you want to, you can try your hand at putting together a custom palette for a couple of games with complete freedom!

That's all from me for now guys - i...

Custom Palette Showcase - Sacrificial Tactics

Image
 Hello realmrunners, well it’s been a fair amount of time hasn’t it! Hope you’ve been doing well since I last wrote! With the upcoming event on the 21st of August dedicated to Dexter Master of Dragons I naturally started to look more into options of custom builds from Draco planum and realised something; one thing I’ve never seriously done is take a crack at a more Sacrifice focused build and, after some tinkering, I quickly remembered why. With the aim of the game being driven by your cards’ resolve effects, using them up as fodder for some of your abilities might seem counter-intuitive as you can’t win as quickly; but building and piloting this style of custom Palette requires you to play with a very different style - absolute control over the Canvas and grinding down your opponents’ best resources. Before we go into any more detail here’s my build below. The overall strategy, as stated above, is to grind through your opponent’s resources and win by being the only player with an...
