I don't understand how they keep giving forest THE POSTER CLASS OF THE GAME exactly jack shit every expansion. Sure, the unlimited deck got EMP 4-6 but the last time we got any support besides a card that was at best a side grade to something already in the class was goblin mage. A neutral card that I'm 90% sure they just didn't realize worked with roach. Did the monkey with the peace signs get combo'ed one too many times? Maybe he is a pedo and just wants to use nothing but his cute little Vampy-chan and his flat little zombie slut.
I get it, roach was strong, but it was one of the most predictable win conditions in the game that had to be completely built around to be competitive in every meta after DE. It's not like Albert, or Shadow Albert or Dr. Seven or Mr. Haste Angel where they just get slapped into every deck because they are nuts in a vacuum. You know what forest gets? An elephant that was a functional reprint of something we already had but costs one more mana. Sometimes I get to play a single copy of Elf Queen I guess.
Rotation lists don't even have the combo mechanic anymore. The closest thing to a playable elf card we got was Goblin Emperor. And why is shitty removal roach a random effect? I guarantee you it started off as targetable, but one of the """"""""""""elite members"""""""""" of the testing group thought it was too strong.
I just wanted to play my favorite class in a new format. Was that really too much to ask?

Do chests not spawn if people concede?

>Forest is bad when the highest winrate deck is Forest.
Always the baby whiner class like sword and dragoncucks.
Levi Sullivan
Thanks user for posting your Storm Haven deck yesterday. Went from sub 50 playing my tempo storm deck to over 70% in A1. So far worst winrates seem to be against Elana and Roach so I might tech in star torrents against Roach.

How much crystals was it for a single leader during a collaboration? I'm planning to buy a thousand due to the special offer.

That's not how it works, retard.

I actually like that shit. "Woah kiddo" is the best surprise emote among all leaders right now, although pre-nerf Arisa was better

Not that newfag disgusting shit but Neutral Sword is one of the most strong decks in this game I mean in Rotation.

Is Unlimited the brainlet format
Austin Collins
All the AA ranks right now are plagued with Dragon, which is like the biggest counter to Dirt Rune right now
Unlimited is the Rick and Morty format where you can do 200 IQ roach combos

>go first against portal as sword >Perseus, Hedgehog, Mars, Jeno curve >instantly win because some portal decks don't use their 2 pp 3 damage spell Mars snowballs so hard if you don't have your hungering/zombie party/salamander to save your ass. Jeno is a 5/2 meaning you can't 1 damage ping meaning you have to play multiple cards and evolve if you want to remove Jeno and Mars. 90% of the time though against Shadow both hedgehog and mars gets zombie party'd and I lose on the spot.
Levi Brown
Its the walletlet format.
Hunter Carter
I doubt it. Between turn 8-9 all I got was a bunch of Tribunals on deck and was hoping for my globe to draw something good.
Brody White
Remove all the other playable class 1 drops. Suddenly forest is the best aggro deck.
Mason Parker
Glad it is working out for you. I've been playing unlimited all day today and I haven't faced any forest decks that weren't neutral but I did face a few aggro blood decks and star torrent would've been good to have. Still, even those aggro matchups were quite close and ultimately decided by luck mostly. About your inquiry about the portal and dragon matchups, I can say that the deck can hold its own against both, even against the fastest ramp dragon deck that heals for more than half its health in a game. In the last game I had against such a deck, my opponent healed for 14 hp and I still managed to win albeit barely and with a bit of luck. The elana matchup is unfavorable so there isn't much to do about that other than trying to burn them faster that they can heal and making value trades.

Bless your heart my man, I drew 2 buglords ever since this expansion started and I didn't know what to do with them.
Ayden Perry
Unlimited has Roach, so no.
Gabriel Jones
I pulled 2 Aria and at this point I wish I pulled 2 Insect King's instead. Aria's use is limited in Rotation with so many good cards gone.
Liam Powell
Man, after having tried a LOT of portal in ranked, I gotta say the class just doesn't cut it even in rotation, let alone unlimited.
Overall, the class is just underwhelming. The ONLY two cards that really impress are Deus, Acceleratium, and Substitution. Literally everything else is underwhelming when you compare to other classes.
Really the problem is that Cygames designed portalcraft a lot like they designed the other classes at release - with only a few standout cards. But this isn't good enough when every other class is using their standout cards from MANY expansions.
The end result is this terrible situation where nearly every card in the metadecks of other classes is a standout card from the set it was released in. That is, every single card is great and fulfills a definite purpose. Meanwhile with portalcraft you have to throw in totally meh cards because... there are no other options.
And in the end your ONLY semi-viable deck is the Deus deck which is inconsistent as fuck compared across classes, because it is totally reliant on drawing Deus, Accel, and Safira at the right times, but you can't tutor them and all your draw is for artifacts. Oh, also, you constantly clog your fucking deck with artifacts while you ALSO need to draw your key cards.
And even when everything works as planned and you have your infinite artifact train rolling, it still takes SO FUCKING LONG to get enough artifacts dead for safira to kill (because your chip damage is GARBAGE), that any deck with its own combo is almost guaranteed to kill you first. Ramp dragon just absolutely turbodumpsters you before you can even get rolling - and even if you somehow did, they'd just Baha your fucking Acceleratium.
Puppets also disappoint because your max combo out of hand on an empty board is 11, which isn't very fucking good at 9 mana. Good luck sticking Ephemera or even safely playing it to do a bigger combo. Meanwhile your ability to output chip damage is absolutely trash.
Matthew Allen
Why are the january sleeves so bad. How do they even choose them? There are so many cards with beautiful artwork and somehow they always choose the worst.
Angel Lewis
If A3 is anything like AA3, then just play Control/Wolf Forest with Starry Elf. Wolf is better against Dragon/mirror, Control is better against the field so depending on the meta just do that. It does well enough against Shadow with Starry Elf, Elf Queen/Aerin shutdown anything other than the nuts Burn, and the combo lets you OTK Dragon's infinite heals.
Dominic Morris

Gabriel Ross
You read that right.
Jordan Davis
God dammit.
Asher Kelly
Would have bought if she didnt have the hat.
Jordan Collins
nekomimi angel altaia a cute ><
what's the problem to safely play ephemera when aggro is ded in rotation?
since when 11 face damage for 9pp "isn't very fucking good", are yoy special by any chance?
Aiden Morales
a portalcraft just highrolled me by clearing my board turn 4 using 7 mana of stuff. goddamn
Hunter Russell

Julian Nelson
C'mon user, step it up. Also >tier 1 Nobody ever said that.
Nolan Cruz
And the card pool is just too fucking small.
Like speaking of Bahamut, what the fuck are your removal options as portalcraft? Otherworld rift... and puppeteer (which sucks). That's it.
Compare to every other class which have 5 fucking expansions worth of removal with different properties to slot into different decktypes. For instance, sword has maisy, cuhullin, momo just in rotation - before even considering unlimited where you also have Tsubaki and even shit like Giant Slayer. Not that anybody ever used Giant Slayer - but portal might if it could, because it's THAT FUCKING HARD UP for low cost removal options.
And you can do the same thing across nearly every card role and class. Other classes have like 20 options for any given thing they want to do, most of which are mediocre, but which still leaves them with 3-4 spectacular choices.
Portalcraft has like 2 or maybe 3 cards for any given slot or purpose and if they aren't good enough to compete with other classes shit tough fucking shit.
The only place portalcraft excels is in Take Two, because although few of portalcrafts cards are super great, almost none of them are absolutely egregiously terrible. Meanwhile other classes have TONS of almost unplayable garbage cards clogging up their drafts. Most importantly, the VAST majority of portalcrafts bronze and silver pool are vanilla-test passing low cost minions. Thus, portalcraft is remarkably consistent in take two just because they are almost guaranteed to be able to draft a reasonable curve of passable creatures.

Ayden Barnes
Is there a playable ramp dragon deck that doesn't have like 20 leggos in it? I have 1 Sybil (will craft 2 more) and 3 Bahamut, what else do I ened for a viable dragon deck?
Joshua Davis
You're next, vampyshitter.
Blake Ward
No. SV is P2W now
Hudson Martin
I look forward on never getting her from the packs.
Gabriel Martinez
Illya. Moon in 3 months.
Connor Hall
11 face damage for 9pp isn't good when your deck has nearly 0 opportunities to get chip damage, and is nearly entirely reactive on the board because puppets disappear at the end of your turn.
So you do your 11 damage combo, which leaves only a 3/6 on board behind... and then, assuming your opponent doesn't immediately kill you, you have no further fucking reach because you just used up your puppets.
I mean I welcome you to take a puppet list into ranked. I did, at 5.5k masters. I tweaked it a lot, but could never get above 40-45% winrate (when with other decks I'm 60+% plus) even as I gained experience with the deck.
Kayden Wood
Can i make a rotation forest list without Insect Man? Have Jojophants and their dogs plus a couple of Cass but no Roach
Aaron Richardson
Puppet Control is actually playable but there's literally no reason to play it over Dragon which does everything it does better besides having banish. Putting that 4PP guy that adds Radiant Artifacts in the deck so Safira doesn't have to do everything isn't that bad though but you still run into the problem of having to rely on DEM to win.
Jason Morgan
I'm already on 2000 coins, I also haven't done the level 140 for most leader and also haven't done like 10 private match achievements. I can't wait for not getting her.
Isaiah Bell
I managed to get Cerb from free packs, so I still have almost all my level up dosh to spend on trying to get Moon.
