Dread Awakening Is Here - Testing Dread Nature Deck
Introduction
I did cover a bit of Dread Awakening last week. I shared my thoughts on the cards that I wanted to own. I actually bought some packs this time around just to give it a shot. Who knows I might pull a diamond legendary or a mythic card. I also will cover a dread nature deck I modified from @afterglow 's deck code from his most recent post.
Results From Pack Opening
Welp these are the results from my pack opening. I actually spent around $180 dollars on packs this time around which was money I had from selling Cross The Ages stuff since I didn't like the direction they were heading. The best pull I got was a shadow epic called "Guardian of the Pines". It's a pretty sad opening because I think I got near 75 dollars worth of cards for the 180. Some of these cards here I bought off the market as well for the dread nature deck. I had to buy 2 dread deer, 1 regression, 1 lash out and 2 crawling madness. After this sad opening, I don't think I will buy more packs in the future. In the past, the epic packs were set around 6-8 dollars but now they are like at 15 bucks. I feel it's not worth it anymore.

Honestly, this is a similar deck to Afterglow. I just changed out two cards for Chiron and Dagan. I thought Chiron would be good because it's one less mana than Iron-tooth goblin so I could buff a friendly unit, -1 relic from opponent and then dreadtouch it on the same turn. I also like Dagan because there's a lot of regen in this deck and this card can solo win the game sometimes because of the ability.
This is a good aggro deck. It focuses on getting board control and snowballing from there. Even moonlight charm might be slow but there's cards like lash out and cornered howler that would help close any creature gap after playing moonlight charm. There's great cards to trade with like Underbrush Boar, Crawling Madness, Dread Deer and Vanguard Axewoman. I also like teching in the regression as the transform can come in handy against certain decks.
Battle Results + Conclusion
I only played three games with this deck. The first battle I lost super hard. This guy was playing a death deck that brought back cards from the void. He had such a great opener of this 1 mana card called badluck that sends the top 2 cards to the void. He followed it up with Pallbearer. I also saw later he had a 9 mana Tyet with raise the dead so he was probably trying to badluck this card into the void and then summon it on turn 5 with raise the dead which would be super hard to beat.
The second deck I played against was an amazon nature deck. The amazon nature deck wasn't able to keep up with my pace. I was able to clear his whole board and he just surrendered because amazon's need momentum and board control to snowball. It's pretty much their win condition.
Lastly, I played a relic deck. Honestly, this relic deck was unlucky because i had both the iron tooth goblin and chiron in my hand in the early game. After I removed his relic, he resigned so fast.
In conclusion, I don't think I will be buying packs anymore. I also want to test this dreadtouch nature deck for weekend ranked so let's see how that goes.

Not great. There is a chance some cards will become more expensive when the wave of pack buys ends...
The new set is fun but it's so hard to remember all new cards and what they do.
I won some cards there and stopped playing months ago... I couldn't forge cards for sale since I had no element (already don't remember its name) which was needed for forging... So... How did you forge cards for sale there? Maybe, things have changed...
I hope so but it kinda sucks I didn't even get one legendary :(
Oh you had to mint them from forging need to spend CTA. I sold / in process of selling the cards I got from my initial pack that I bought for 500 bucks. Still trying to sell my blue mint pass as well.
I got it, nothing has changed there. The game is less addictive than GU so I quit it - GU alone takes too much time + the fact that Cross The Ages promises play2earn but actually you can't sell the cards if only you... and then quite unrealistic (to me) if-s follow.
Oh I actually liked cross the ages in the beginning. It was definitely fun but then they changed the whole game and i didn tlike that hahah. As for GU im kinda disappointed at what they did with this set. They just raised the amount of money needed for each pack rarity crazy.I remember buying epic packs for like 6-8 dollars now its like 15-18? 100 fo rlegendary guaranteed what is happening.
I liked CTA too but less than GU. CTA (to me, subjectively) was like a great game to kill time on a public bus. As for GU, it's a sect. :D
Yes, expensive.
Disappointments about GU - I had so many that stopped feeling pain at some point like a mom of a heroine-addicted person. :D (But I keep playing and I love the experience.)
lol you're a masochist O.O but ur not at the same time since u dont feel pain anymore.
I don't know I keep losing interest tho it's not the same when I first got in GU. But GU was one of the first web3 games I got into so it still has some sentiment for me ; ;
:D
Everybody feels the game in their own way. That's my first TCG, maybe, that's why I feel so connected. At the same time, I am not as enthusiastic about the game as I was before, I don't expect many people to join and old cards cost $$$... Looks like they only have artists and sellers almost not coders in the office and they sell not trying to be nice. Etc. At the same time, GU is fun to play, you can earn by playing GU, and it has a strong economy, $GODS is decent. That's unique.
woah really your first tcg? No yugioh or magic the gathering or pokemon nothing? O.O. It's ok i also see you lost some interest.
Hmm I'm not sure if I would call it strong economy. but I guess i agree gods is decent. wouldve been better if it stayed at 4 dollars or 5; ; haha good times good times
Why? Biggest on IMX, dozens of thousands of USD (officially 400.000$) monthly, and that's consistent. Liquidity of cards is high, the token is strong. They pay daily rewards to players but the economy hasn't been ruined by this fact.
When the alt season comes, GODS, I hope, might repeat this and even more... If they don't kill the game before the altseason (OP sets, coding, something else)... :D Let's see.
i thought people wash traded to get the imx rewards?
Well hope so but I'm not too hopeful for it? cuz theres a lot of other games ocming into web3 space. g u needs to step it up

I only bought one pack and I got 2 Mire Walker, after that, I did not buy any more.

Yes, I am lucky I guess. But I do not want to push my luck that is why I did not buy again.

Indeed, they should have decreased it, not increased it.
ya dude they really made it kinda pay to win now lol which is lame
