How do the new gauntlet minions actually work?

So these new gauntlet cards…do they actually do anything? At all? I’ve played 4 or 5 gauntlet runs each time using a different card. They don’t seem to actually do anything at all.

On my first run I got one that was supposed to give me all legendary faction cards. So naturally I expected that on my next run I would get just that, legendary faction cards. I got 2, which doesn’t seem higher than usual. There was a round where my fatesealer was dispelled so I thought maybe that was why (can they be dispelled as such?).

Next I got 2 fortuneshapers. I played them all the time and they didn’t get dispelled. Awesome, I thought, now on my next run I should get all epic cards. Low and behold to my amazement I got nothing of the sort. I did however pick up a futureshaker. I couldn’t figure out why these cards weren’t doing anything. Maybe they needed to be played on the last match of my run? So I jumped into a match, played the futureshaker, won and then resigned the run because I…just…wanted…to…see…these…cards…work.

Take a guess at what happened when I started a new run? Did I get a bunch of legendary natural cards? NOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEE.

What even are these cards? Did the devs just throw in cards that don’t actually do anything to get people to spend a bunch of gold on gauntlet runs? It sure is feeling that way to me right now. The text stating things like ā€œYour next gauntlet card choices will be legendary faction cardsā€ seems extremely clear and unambiguous but in reality it is anything but if they work at all. Can someone shed some light here because I feel like I just wasted a bunch of gold on nonsense and I’m feeling like putting duelyst onto the shelf.

once you pick them the next choice in that draft will be as described, they have no effect once in play. they do exactly what they say they do.

New cards are just for draft picks.
Next card you choose will be ā€œepicā€ or whatever it says.
They don’t have opening gambit for the battle field

ā€œQuitting duelystā€ is starting to be mainstream :smiley:
You misunderstood the description.

Means exactly the next choice among the three cards. Not the whole next gauntlet run, as you think, which would be very overpowered.

OOOOOOOOOOOH! Alright I take it all back then. God damn that had me frustrated. Thanks though for easing my weary mind.

Lol my point proven.

Maybe find a game where there are more ā€œimagesā€ and/or simple understandable icons and less text to read :confused:

Why would anyone even want an all legendary draft? Seems awful

I actually drafted 6 legendary cards :sweat_smile: Needless to say the deck was crap.
