The new card set Dread Awakening is online and you can get new powerful cards. I'm not crazy about buying cards from new expansions but I want at least a few packs.
I bought 18 packs and here is what I got. One rare pack cost $4.50 with the current 10% discount. CopperPitch once calculated if it's a good idea to buy epic or legendary packs and he came to the conclusion that you get the most from simply rare packs. I will write about the cards where I get an idea how to use them or cards I like.
I already got my first card with the Dreadtouched mechanic and a golden card. I'm happy to see some guild cards that could probably fit into my Deception deck. The Catacomb Pariah could be like a little board clear in round 3 or 4.
I'm not sure about the nether cards but The Nocturnal seems good. Also Lash Out could change the dynamic in a round to my favor.
When I saw the Gate of Souls, Anubians came into my mind immediately. The opponent can't bring them back with this card. I like the Lab Specimen with a solid 5/5 body and blitz.
I saw the Dread Rising in a video from CopperPitch before. I will see how it will work exactly. Of Two Minds looks nice, especially when you get both with dreadtouched.
I didn't play a deck with the Chosen One yet, but Fist of Dread looks strong in combination with that. Sleepwalker could help with Zoo decks or Zombie decks. The Restless Bellkeeper is another good card for my current Deception deck. It would also fit into a Mayday deck to bring back Admiral Mayday.
I can see good synergy with Staff of Aberration in Nature decks. With Dreaconic Priestess we get more Dragons. I bet with the other Dragons we already have, we will see more Dragon decks.
With one mana cost, Mire Walker seems solid. Font of Initiation gives more power to Light decks.
Besides Valknir Carving I got these cards already in previous packs.
Forbidden Knowledge and Swamp Witch are working with Elderytch Mysteries. I have to read about these cards and what they do.
Hollow Form looks strong but I don't think you have enough creatures on the board at mana level 8. Writing Wolfpack is a good clear for the extremely buffed creature from your opponent.
I like Carrion Nester, another card for Dragon decks. Blotted Kraken could be slow, but if you lower the mana cost below 5 it could be a strong creature. Worship looks like the Light version of Perseverance.
Another nice Dragon card with Brood Parasite. I will try to build a Dragon deck soon with all these nice cards. I know the other cards already.
I love to see Cornered Howler in my Nature deck. I'm not sure about the other cards.
Thanks for reading. What cards did you get out of this expansion?
I had 4807 cards in total with a value of $709 and increased it to 4967 cards with a value of $852. The most valuable card is still Pyramid Warden.
