The God Satchel


Whilst we still wait across the pond here for the new product, I decided it was worth looking at how I could implement some of the new cards with some of the older.

First stop probably the best card of the lot.

Most people have been looking at this from a modern standpoint, but i'm going to skip past that, and take a look at what impact it can have on some older golden teams.

When a card is looking for an action die to trigger it's effect then why not have a deck heavily focused on using actions to its fullest potential.


Normally when you roll an action dice you have a 75% chance
of hitting the action face. When your opponent brings
Scarlet Witch - Careful What you Wish for, that drops to 25%.
Acererak's Global is here to help negate that percentage drop.

Fielding this is nothing to cry about either, with the Attune, and the next card in our list, the main ability is of some use.



The global here is going to help us get some early damage as well as some cost reduction for our actions.
It's an evil character, so is reduced in cost if Acererak is in the field when you use an action.
Breath Weapon 3 is as not even as good as it gets on here, as that ability to double the effect of and action die is horrifying.
This actions vital to keeping a clear board, and since God Catcher makes tokens our characters are expensive we're not overly affected by it in the early to mid game.

Brilliant piece of removal that can sit in the field,
the burst face is also handy for blanking out nuisance
cards that you cant quite remove with the damage.

Nice little action to provide some taxing on our opponent, and also provides some fuel for our next card.

Between the Kyln and Cold Gun sitting in our field, we have plenty sitting around to fuel this for some good chunks of damage.

Some debate about how the global is actually supposed to work on this one, but all that aside, it is gonna do what we need and that is fixing our energy for whatever were gonna buy.

This is useful in our team as our catcher tokens are always going to be classed as level one anyway. This lets us push our damage without any blockers getting in our way.

Purely here to provide some ramp and churn.

Hopefully once I receive my product I can take this for a spin. Let me know your thoughts in the comments and don't forget to subscribe.

    Great stuff, interesting to see. Once the set comes out I'm going to try and get as many God Catchers out as possible. Like the idea of an army of 10/10s.

      Certainly a scary prospect, sure i have missed some neat things somewhere along the line.

No Ban Golden

It has been a while since I have written an article, mainly due to a hiatus from the game and welcoming another member into our family. All that aside, the back end of last year the Dice Fight team decided to run a "no ban list" golden event, which was well received by the player involved. Here are the team lists: alsodanlowe : DavidC : NefariousBroadcaster : Skyraver : CollectorRob : Current Golden Banned List  Relentless: Basic Action Card Swords of Revealing Light: Basic Action Card Imprisoned: Basic Action Card (Uncanny X-Men) Beholder: Master Abberation (Battle for Faerûn) Ring of Magnetism: Action Attraction (Yu-Gi-Oh!) Final Results Seeing these lists I remember a team that I played back in Dice Fight Legacy V, This team nabbed me the top spot back then and was a solid choice, from the available pool at the time, but with no restrictions Collector Rob was able to make some improvements to the team still netting him a 2nd place, But why stop there? I believe there is st...

The Great Deceit

Today i'm going to look at blank cards and try to evaluate how good some of theses card actually are. When I started with my research for this article the first card I looked at was this: It says it's a low cost card with good numbers, but just how good are they? Lets find out. To do this I had to refer to a conversation I had with Homash last year, to remember his formula, so lets work through it. First thing to do is take all the attack and defence values and add them together, in this case its 22. we then divide it by 3 making 7.33, we then take all the fielding costs add them together and divide by 3 again and then add the cards cost to that number, so in this case 4. We then take our 7.33 and divide it by our 4 resulting in 1.83, this is our cards average number. According to Homash anything Below 2.00 is below average, so in short Ghost Rider is a low cost die with below average numbers. Being the trooper I am, I repeated this for every blank ever printed, ye...

Dice Report - Dice Fight - Golden Single Energy Type

This weeks event was golden single energy so i'm going to start by breaking down my team, and then I will look at how it played in the event. Also worth bearing in mind is that global's had to use the designated energy type, so no energy fixers, no create food and water. When I see this archetype pop up I know Rare Lantern Ring will see a ban, so I have opted for the next best thing. This cost us one more to purchase than Lantern Ring, and is also limited by an affiliation for our characters, which shouldn't be too much of a hindrance. Cheap character, cheap fielding and the ability is really good with our next card. and if we manage to roll double energy provides some extra damage for Green Lantern's ability. This is our removal hated by everyone not playing it, and easily abused with Gadgeteer on The Question. This is here just for the global, if my opponent bounces my stuff back even better its less they are spending on forwarding there o...
