Fantastic to see doomed blade is the new issue for arena as we’ve had nothing since dawnbringer got removed: ![PS_Messages_20181108_163059](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/2/1/2189f1fc922c762a93bd305b896e88aca6a8ba2f.jpeg) The horrendous bias cascades really didn’t help ---

Well, this should only take about 14 months to get fixed. ---

The Broken Banner broke all the other banners… 😆 ---

I’m poisoning the pool this time; for most of the Dawnbringer era I didn’t even have it so I couldn’t help contribute to the madness. On offense, Doomed Blade, which is also “DB” just like Dawnbringer, seems even more powerful. The main difference is you can afford to actually draft a functional team. Some games you just don’t get 18 blue mana. With Dawnbringer you usually drafted “anything yellow” so once your hero pops you should probably retreat. With Doomed Blade, I win a lot of games without even using DB. On defense I guess it feels worse, I haven’t played against one yet. It’s on average 1 turn faster, and mine’s dealing out 19 damage to the enemy team. I can’t remember exactly but I think that’s either 1 more or equal to DB. It generally wipes everything but the hero, and skulls take care of the rest. Not a fan. ---

This weapon is mono color with a high mana cost. Difficulty to beat on defense is so much easier than Dawnbringer. ---

Yeah I was just really unfortunate with AI and it’s blue cascades 😂
