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!!!

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...

Pushing Forward

So it's been a while since I have had the chance to sit and write something fresh for you guys. A lot has happened, we finally got D&D and for some WWE, I played in the MODMGE event, rotation was announced, and most of us are sat at home looking for things to occupy our minds well this virus does it's thing. So what better time than to try and lay down some words and ideas, to hopefully take our minds of it for a moment. After playing the MODMGE, I realised I had neglected to add a certain card to my team that would have made my day a lot easier, I then rebuilt the team post rotation announcement looking at how I could move it forward, and took it to Dice Fight with little luck due to poor rolling on the night and a few missed opportunities, nonetheless I still believe this has legs. so lets take a look at the team I took to MODMGE and work up through its development and where it's potentially going. This team turned out to be fairly average I was soft to a l...

An Approach to Team Building

Last week after the Dice Fight, in Aftermath, some questions arose about team building so this week I am going to look at team building, as for some it is one of the greatest struggles when it comes to preparing for games. Hopefully many of you will benefit from some of the resources, and points made here on in. I'm going to start with laying out some bullet points. Win Conditions Power Cards Ramp & Churn Fixing Control Cost Synergy Card Stat's Before we dive in a bit deeper, I will start by saying that I normally keep some boxes with a pool of cards I like playing with, and a select number of dice to go with those cards. This not only saves time but these are battle tested cards and are generally the best in their set. This pool is for the most part made up of ccm00007's  Essentials List , I separate these into 3 piles. Modern Golden BAC's Once I know the format I remove any cards that are banned, then I split down further depending on forma...
