Witchblades are getting old.

I estimate that every 3rd deck I play against in the level room is a witchblade deck. Fully maxed 'of course'.

Some people need to get gripped by the balls and learn how to be original.

I encounter them every time, sometimes consecutive between matches.

Should we consider it to be nubie deck, coz it's very easy to play and hard to counter with, even with the most of basic card. Give me a hard time all the time

Have seen most level 11 to 15 playing this deck, still kinda raw but annoying sad

Re : Witchblades are getting old.

Its not a difficult to play, nor hard to make deck. I can understand how it is so popular, however it is just getting really boring seeing the same shit accross the board every other game.

This game holds so much potential for variety in decks and builds, it is unbelievable. Then again, I always forget people prefer to flock like sheep and go the same direction. Its a shame really, since it is not necessary.

Re : Witchblades are getting old.

Then we agreed it's for nubie lol

And with the same encounter at most matches I think some guilds like nomads and pirates extinct for this reason, also make sap heart endangered species

So if people like to flock like sheep they just need a shepherd to control where they are going. A simple theory really

Crows and Pack decks are getting too frequent for me, in addition to Witchblades.

Maybe it's a Caste thing?

Re : Witchblades are getting old.

I am a newb that plays a witchblade deck. The reason I play the deck is that the game economy is very expensive if you are not spending real money. The witchblade deck allows you to add in a few cards that are fairly cheap, yet makes the deck competitive.

Not everyone can, or is willing, to pour money into an online game.

Re : Witchblades are getting old.

you all suck, I play straight trackers and it's not the decks that get me but the op cards. you can't play strategy against overpowering moves. (ie. items have a soul, magic attack, the one that doubles your next card) honestly don't know what they were doing with this stuff. Plus I have not seen a card for trackers that really even give a decent edge, just a "meh" threat level.

Are we wrong complaining that witchblades are OP? There is a deck that can heal itself (Sword of Light), do magic damage with the sword effect, do massive physical damage with magic attack,  and of course reactivate the sword twice a round. They can chain with all of their cards. You can say you can "block" magic attack by obesity. The thing is you cannot really predict when they will use it and in addition to that it makes your defence 2 meaning you can lose a great deal of defence...

Re : Witchblades are getting old.

Hmm seems to me the thread isnt really focused on WB its more that so many peons copy decks because they arent creative or skilled enough to build, or win with anything else. You can enjoy the 'fun' in the game simply by walking your own path. Who knows you might find the latest and greatest deck...

Re : Witchblades are getting old.

Witchblades are not OP. They are strong and can best a lot of decks, but they are definately, 100% definately, not overpowered. Most witchblade decks I encounter suck. Mostly because the people either cannot afford to buy good cards to go with the characters or they just don't know how to play the game.

The only reason I would lose to a Witchblade deck is because I am training lowbie chars and facing fully maxed Witchblades. Otherwise they do not best me that often.

This thread originates, as glasher said and I have mentioned before, that people play these characters and decks way too often. Its literally getting dull facing the same thing almost every other game.

SoL isn't da case here, but what really annoys me are there are some witchblade cards, a spell actually that mostly chains like ice mirror or whatever that is, They got a lot of of chains especially spells that got chain on it. I suggest lessen the effect or remove the chain.

Anyway back on the topic, some flocks of sheep who seems don't have the creativity or just afraid to give their fur away for booster are running into witchblades, I understand the feeling of those player to run to this deck because the cheap cost to make one and can answer most deck out there. Hey it's 60% win with the most basic of staple card.

Either there will be another cargo-class deck that better than WB or the sheeps gonna stick with this. I would like to see some sort of  hard counter like this would be released:
multiple hatred, uncommon.  adds +2 atk for each different class of the opposing character

Would trim the herds nicely with that one out lol

Re : Witchblades are getting old.

its kinda hard for you to be creative if you can only work with 3 basic decks.. and have very little crystals..

so those people who play for free normally just pick someone's pre-made deck that is fairly effective and work with that first to make enough money to hopefully buy something better

they wont play on elo since they can't win anyway so they camp at training room.. it doesnt really bother me too much since I at least have players which means the game won't end anytime soon.. big_smile

Re : Witchblades are getting old.

Witchblade deck are not creative or not skilful?
I can not agree with that. These mutli-classes characters can use all most all the cards in Eredan, which make this deck have the best flexibility over all kind of other decks.

As you pointed out this deck is very easy to start with, even though with basic cards from beginner boster without Naya and they are still efficient, that is ture. And the best thing of witchblade deck for a new player is, whatever he pulled out a rare or uncommon cards from his first few boosters, he can always easily found a place for his new cards in his witchblade deck because the witchs are all mutli-classes.

And this deck have the potential to be a competitive deck in elo room rather than just a beginner deck. This is because of they all are MAGE. Spell cards like fireball, RoD, magical attack and the last action are expensive but powerful. If you want complain witchblade are OP, I have to say they are not but the MAGE are.

Overall, give me some reasons that why a new player should not start with a deck that easy to build up and have the best potential to be developed? the truth is the witchblade is the best well designed deck for most new players at this moment, if you really dislike it, go for anti-witchblade deck rather than complain here.

Re : Witchblades are getting old.

They are not creative because they are all the same. They may vary by budgets but not in theory or concept.

Now if a Witchblade were to have its core:
Ice Shield
Ice Coffin
Blades

And then utilize another tactic besides Marauder rushdown or Mage rushdown such as DWit into Hammer, or Solaris, or Quick Draw, or even mime DK and use Divine Anger. Then it would begin to be a creative deck idea. However, relying on Dwit combos takes the WB deck out of top tier contention, which is where our followers come in, which is why we are discussing its dullness.

When Feerik releases a set and you use it as intended that is not innovative.

Witchblade is no different than any other deck. If
A: Your deck is already weak to mages
B: Your deck lacks high offense
C: Your deck lacks tech like Freeze or Counterspell
D: Your deck lacks any defense

and you face Witchbaldes you might lose. However, if your deck is solid, well built, and you know how to play it and change styles depending on the opposing deck type and their tactics, you raise the probability of winning.

As for people who don't pay I feel no pity for you. Other than certain countries with no surveys or fee options you have the choice to become better you choose not to for w/e reason. While I respect your reason to not purchase fees I do not respect it as an excuse to wimper about decks.

Yeah they can use most of the cards in eredan universe, true but they just using the same tricks that already used or discovered rather than inventing a new one.

To top that up, as previously stated by bleachman most of the witchblades out there sucks. And the other dude said they camp in training room, I might want to add up that too, they aren't just camping in training room but also in level room too, oftenly they played with maxed chars too to prey on those who tried to level up with their lowbie chars.

Every decks got potential in elo room, but what most of them do? Yep stay in levelling room and do what they do best

Ooh you want a reason too do you? here I'll give you a reason

First, it reduces the variety of deck that being played. Most other player out there currently facing 3 WB out of 5 match if not 4. It's very boring to have a match with the same kind of deck.

Second, too easy to play. Being too flexible can disrupt the balance of the game, that's in my point of view anyway. Courtesan is also flexible but they got what we defined as "Limits". So the effect of this leads to reason number 1.

Just my 2 cents here, every multi-classes especially mage-hybrid tend to have difficulty to chain spell with something else, even if the cards chain, it has lesser degree of effect. But WB looks make it too easy with mirrors and coffin. They got chain in the beginning. If all spell could be abused like that I'd want to see Wood protection + RoD on hailwalker if permitted to do so

Look at the Witchblade Thread tongue Witchblade still falls over to Zil Warriors anyway and discard. To be honest, there are other decks out there that are equally if not more powerful.

I understand Bleachman's gripe about seeing fully-levelled witchblade deck in Levelling room. They should just try for ELO instead.
