 Hello all and welcome to my dive into the latest Chapter to be released! Well it's certainly been a long wait for this one but here we finally are, with the final Chronicle of the series of second Chapters and our return to Norso; The Monsters of Norso! Just a quick refresher before I fully dive into it, as it has been a fair amount of time since my last ones; what I do with these Chapter Analysis articles is look at the set itself in a vacuum, highlight cards that fit into categories that are recognisable to an experienced TCG player and then round it off by saying which side of the conflict I feel comes out on top when taking this set into account. So without further ado, let's get stuck right in. Chapter Overview This is the first set in a while that has brought 3 brand new Keywords to the game; Guard , Rebound  and Vengeance and these are attributed respectively to each aligned faction, Chroma, neutral and Achrom. So it's quite obvious that there's a heavy focus on...

 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...

 Welcome to the next Chapter Analysis guys - today looking at the follow-up to the fan favourite Draco realm; The Last Snow Dragons of Altari. Chapter Overview Where the first chapter was quite Typal focused, this one instead leans a lot heavier on its Keywords, Hunt  & Freeze , and experiments with the idea of spreading them through both sides of the conflict. As is becoming quite typical of the Draco realm in general, although not all the Legendaries support the new Keywords, they are all very control-oriented. Removal & Interaction Both of the new Keywords in this chapter are heavily based on interaction with your opponent's cards so there's heaps I could put under this topic, however if you're talking generic removal pieces there's a few options that give you ways of Erasing troublesome Characters and Locations outright. Aside from this you'd have to tap into one of the abilities previously mentioned, what's worth noting is there are some key ones th...

Hello Realmrunners and welcome to something a little different from me this week in terms of competitive talks. With the Achroma 2.0 launch event a little while back now, they introduced something quite common in the TCG community, a draft-style format, which has been aptly named Realm Rift. If you wish to know the mechanics behind to perform the initial draft, the steps are listed on the website  here . The entire premise of this format, much like in other games, is to build yourself a Palette solely from the cards you have drafted from the packs available. Whats exciting about this is, due to the fact the Chapter 1 boosters contain every realm within them, the rule that all your cards must come from the same realm is completely disregarded as well as the limitations on how many of the same name you can play; you are only restricted by what cards you see in your piles as they’re passed around the table. So, given the structure of cards in the booster packs plus the complete freedo...
