Announcing next weekend’s Unscheduled Round Robin Tournament – Best of a Bad Bunch! Plenty of orbs to give away

This week, your challenge is to construct a deck from the list of bad cards below (see next post). You can only use the “bad” generals, too – Cassyva, Zir’an, Starhorn, Kaleos, Kara & Sajj.

This is an unscheduled tournament – you have five days to play as many opponents as you can/want. Read the full rules and sign up at https://battlefy.com/duelyst-round-robin/duelyst-round-robin-best-of-a-bad-bunch/59923e8708e9b60329b9de8e/info

Rewards: A free core orb core each participant; prizes (TBD, but at least 30 orbs total and a tournament ribbon depending on participation). A significant proportion of prizes is reserved for players who’ve never been above gold.

Sign-up deadline/tournament start: Friday, August 18th at 3 p.m. Eastern.

My type of tournament, but can’t make it :frowning: Sounds fun (despite Cassyva’s a pretty solid “bad” general lol). Have fun all participants, and solid work @diplodoraptor for taking the time to develop such a long list!

This is really going to be something else.

Shame to be missing you! Cass isn’t ordinarily bad, but (I think) she won’t be too strong when you take away all her creep synergy cards.

Here’s a better-formatted list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vOoM5ML6teu0znTiM1YRaAYgZdMzebHhuwsqls91eQw/edit?usp=sharing

beastbound savage or Owlbeast Sage. The difference is astronomical.

@diplodoraptor

Edit: Also, I feel Kaleos should have Eclipse as Twilight Reiki is the only spell that draws randomly (aside from Astral Flood).

As much as I would like to come, it’s 5 am in the morning for me and I can’t be bothered.
Also how dare you say serpenti is a bad card.

Hey! Helm and wings are the only good mech peices the others are there for more consistentcy, so bring the others back and take off helm!

No excuse! The tournament is unscheduled. You have to sign up by that time,
but you have five days to play as many games as you can with whoever is
available at the same time as you.

Serpenti is a secretly good card that I was planning to use to dominate the
tournament. But now my plan has been foiled!

I’m not going to have enough mech pieces to actually summon Mechaz0r. I think Helm is the worst.

O.o O.o O.O o.o O.o o.O
Yes forums this is a complete sentence

Well, z0r is the worst. But it would just be tilting to have it actually give someone Mechaz0r when pretty much every answer is unpickable.

Crimson coil, storm sister, storm sister, eight gates, eight gates? No more Mechazor?

Last time I checked, he couldn’t be targeted with spells. I guess you could
answer him with something like Soboro.

Or crossbones, and you can dispell it.

I completely forgot. Too much hamonzor on the mind

BURMP! Fifteen.

This tournament really made me hate this game.

Sorry you didn’t enjoy the tournament. It’s an experimental format and it isn’t (and wasn’t really intended to be) well-balanced. I hope it doesn’t put you off the game.
