everything is open to discussion, but indeed some race advantages/weaknesses (like fire) would make things more interesting šŸ™‚ ---

She doesnā€™t look Raksha, and thereā€™s justification for the type in the text above. I agree that it still feels somewhat wrong, but what else would you classify it as? ---

BTW the Merchant Blade weapon is in the shop for 300 Glory. Best part is that you get two Arcane Spirit stones. Can be a good way to stock up on Spirits (150 glory each) if youā€™re so inclined! ---

I wonder if it was intentional, also one get 2 event keys. Really great payout for the glory there. šŸ™‚ ---

i think its intentional to make up for the fact that u can only get 1 merchant blade but multiple packs, so the value in the pack is calculated without the blade? ---

The screenshot up top shows him at 20 damage and lvl 15, and (if I recall correctly), the one in the bundle showed up at 12 damage for me. I do have full kingdom magic boni. But thatā€™s why I said ā€œIf he doesā€ā€¦ At 12 damage heā€™s no real problem, true. ---

No, but it does to a lvl 1 in the bundle apparently. ---

Well, these two troops look like they were intended to form half of a quick soul farming team, between the necromancy, the nuke, gem convert to charge the nuke again, skull-spam, and the short life expectancy of the Mummified King. Just needs a soul generator, a tank or high-attack troop, and maybe a yellow generator or an exploder to charge it all up. Thereā€™s probably a few troops they had in mind. The problem is that the Bastite Priestess fills a slot, but doesnā€™t provide either souls or necromancy, so between producing fewer souls, and depending on a very specific casting order and board requirements, I donā€™t see them competing very well. The mechanics are certainly interesting, however. ---

I almost support this idea, I think Bone Dragon should just have a increased mana cost from 14 to 18, keep itā€™s boost ratio where itā€™s at. ---

Mummy should be changed into two cards similar to Werewolf and Villager. Tomb and Mummy Tomb be a common card and Mummy should death mark everyone on useā€¦including allies. ---

What this guy said. I bought like 10 copies of the weapon pack but only 1 each of the troop packs. BTW devs you should totally do these weapon packs for glory more often! ---

Itā€™s an interesting concept to have a troop with a drawback to itself, but so many can do what he does better without potentially killing themselves. Needs a tune up. ---

I do like the idea of a self-debuffing troop, but Iā€™d personally not use one that Death Marks itself ā€“ too unreliable in the aggregate. The presence of the debuff means the spell can exceed the normal power budget for the troopā€™s mana cost. Other possibilities for low-cost, moderate damage troops that inflict debuffs on themselves might be: **Silence myself:** Similar to TSO, prevents immediate recast **Disease myself:** Similar, makes immediate recast more expensive **Web myself:** Makes immediate recast ineffective (damage would be much reduced) **Entangle myself:** Not sure about this one, seems kind of niche and wouldnā€™t be detrimental to anything but the lead troop. How about: BERSERKER REDUX Berserk! (8 Blue/Red) Deal [Magic + 4] damage to an enemy. Gain 4 Attack and 2 Magic, and then Entangle and Disease myself.
