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, yes all 72, and i'm going to share the list of all the ones that made an average of 2.00 or more, so here goes:

  • White Tiger - Hero for Hire 2.11
  • Wasp - Janet Van Dyne 2.72
  • Hal Jordan - Green Lantern's Light 2.20
  • Rescue - Mark 1616 2.13
  • Yellow Jacket - Unhinged Avenger 2.11
  • Hulk - Calculated Devastation 2.00
  • Karnak - Exploiting Weakness 2.43
  • Ant-man - Biophysicist 2.02
  • Ant-man - Scott Lang 2.02
  • Morphing Jar - Canopic Jar 3.50
  • Conner Kent - Project Cadmus 2.11
  • Poxwalker - Curse of the Walking Pox 2.00
  • Primaris Inceptor - Crushing Charge 2.14
  • Skyclaw - Hotheaded 2.14
  • Falcon - Samuel Wilson 2.13
  • Kitty Pryde - Ariel 2.15
  • Giant Man - Dr. Henry Pym 2.00
  • Saggi, The Dark Clown - Sinister Jester 2.30
  • Marshmallon - Fluffy Fairy 2.00
  • Lord of D. - Dragon Commander 2.00
  • Injection Fairy Lily - Rocket Attack 2.58
  • Guy Gardiner - Seeing Red 2.43
  • Drax - Arthur Douglas 2.00

    I have always tried to win with a blank oriented team. Usually it will never win unless you use something like the BAC - team up and in that case the defensive values really don't matter though as you will get quite a boost for both A and D. When I usually run the blank team up I factor in the affiliation to give a card a boost and also rely more heavily on the attack stats.
    Great work assembling the numbers of 70+ cards!!!

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...

Fixing a Broken Format

Please bear in mind as I write this article that its 100% theoretical. Today I am going to discuss Global Escalation as a format, in short it is a format that has a few issues with it to say the least, so firstly were going to look at Wizkids definition of the format. Global Escalation disallows cards that meet the following criteria: 1) It has made the Finals of one of the following events: * Dice Masters World Championships 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 * Dice Masters US National Championships 2018, 2019 AND it doesn't have a Global Ability 2) Swords of Revealing Light, Relentless, and Cosmic Cube: Energy of the Beyonders are also disallowed, see the announcement here:  https://wizkids.com/dicemasters/global-escalation/ So as we can see here it came with a banned list already in place, which is fair enough, its a format that wants to weed out the power cards to a certain extent and force you to adapt and conquer, but there is already an issue. Firstly it disallows cards...

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...
