~ 馃槝 Hello Gods Unchained community around the world 馃槝 ~
This is my first post about Gods Unchained as I just played the game yesterday and I would like to share some knowledges that I got from playing the game using Scholar (Diamond) decks I received from my friend. At the beginning I am struggling to understand the game mechanics but after playing for several matches in ranked at Weekend Ranked, I have understood the basic strategy and plan to win several matches. Since the title of the post is about the Experience of using Scholar (Diamond) deck, I would like to share some cool stuff about the scholar account and will discuss about the basic strategy for the beginner in the next post.
Alright so here are some subtopics that we are going to discuss in depth :
Alright guys, let's jump into the first topic
The scholar manager delegated 30 cards to my account and I arranged them in a new deck called "Silvia Scholar". Among those 30 cards, 44 cards have diamond frame and 6 cards are belong to Meteorite frame. The cards are only belong to specific mana only (not all 1 - 9+ mana). it's only, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 mana. Let's see all the cards in detail at each mana.
Well, Here are all the 2 mana cards. This is the "must have" cards in the first round because these are the only cards we can use as the game is only giving maximum 2 mana only in that round. Among all of them "Black Jaguar" is my favorite because he has the Regen ability to add +1 health point in each turn. I'll put new term in a highlight so that we can remember them.
Regen : A Creature with Regen X heals for X at the end of it's controllers turn.
My next favorite 2 mana card is Vulpine Collector because he has a cool ability called Tempt fate. When it's activated, there will be 2 options that we can choose. 1 option is a safe option because the buff effect will 100% work but another option is depend on our luck. If we chose the second option, we might get 2 buffs effect if we are lucky but we also might lose all the buff abilities if we are unlucky. However, whenever I choose the second options, my Vulpine Collector is always getting double buffs so I think I am still lucky so far :).
Tempt Fate: provides another random element. It may allow the player to select an effect from a list of random results.
And the last 2 mana card is Larcenous Imp. This card is useful only if the opponent has relic equipped because his special ability (give +2 attack and +2 health) will be activated. Well, I barely see my opponent activated his / her relic so I didn't activate the Larcenous Imp's special ability yet. Maybe in the next battles I can see him activate his ability.
I really love this spell card because it gives 6 damage to the strongest opponent monster. When I started playing the game in day #1 I used the card immediately after draw it from the deck but after thinking about the game strategy, I think I am gonna use it when my opponent has very strong monster which very difficult to beat with only normal monster.
The next card is a spell called "Sip from the Spring". This card works effectively when we have successfully give damage to the opponent's god because we can refresh 2 mana to be used for other creature or relic card. the special ability of this card is to give 2 strength and 2 health point to the weakest friendly monster. If you have only 1 monster then that monster will gain buff.
The concept on how to use this card is the same as Sip from the Spring. We have to attack the opponent's god first so that when we used the card in the battlefield we can refresh 3 mana. That way basically we used the card for free mana. The special ability of this card is to deal 3 damage to the random enemy creature. If there's only 1 opponent monster in the field then that monster will take 3 damage.
This is the relic card as we can see the border of the picture is hexagon. This card is making the creature super stronger by giving additional +2 to each strength and health. Normally, we can activate the effect of this card for 3 turn (unless the durability is decreased by card effect). So this card is pretty useful for attacking purposes or defensive also as it makes the weak monster become stronger.
This card belongs to creature and its special ability is to reduce the durability of the opponent's relic card by -1. Another ability is Echo. It allows player to draw 1 card which has the characteristic as 1 strength, 1 health and 1 mana. the 1 mana card is enough to turn the tide of a game because that card can attack god to activate chain effect or just doing normal attack to the opponent monster.
Tempt Fate: provides another random element. It may allow the player to select an effect from a list of random results.
The last 3 mana monster is Furious Felid. This creature has balanced strength and health with 3 attack and 3 health point. I think that's pretty good for creature with 3 mana. His special ability is destroying all creature with 1 strength and 1 mana. So if the opponent has 1/1 creature, it's a good idea to use him. However, we have to be careful if we have 1/1 creature because Furious Felid can destroy our 1/1 creature. Hence, this monster is a two edged sword.
The first creature is Barksworn Hunter. Basically this card has 3 strength and 3 health just like ferocious Felid but the difference is this creature can attack a random enemy monster at the moment she is being summoned into the battlefield. So unlike some other monsters who usually sleep in the first round, she never sleep and ready to attack once being summoned. Another cool ability is echo. It allows the player to take 1/1 creature. 1/1 means the monster has 1 strength and 1 health.
Echo : Calls a new creature to your hand. Echo have 1 mana, 1 health, and 1 strength
The next monster is Hopeful Druid. This monster has the same special ability as Barksworn Hunter, Echo, which enable the player to draw 1 card with 1 strength and 1 health randomly. The second ability of this card is she is giving +1 health and regen ability to friendly monster so the targeted monster will be able to restore 1 HP in each round. The regen ability will still exist even if the Hopeful Druid are destroyed and went to the void.
Regen : A Creature with Regen X heals for X at the end of it's controllers turn.
This creature has balanced strength and health with 4 attack and 4 health. So it's a solid card for attack or defense. Another special ability is deal 1 damage to the weakest creature. So if it's only 1 creature on the opponent side then the damage will be taken by that creature. The total damage of Wood Hunter became 5 at the moment she was summoned to the battlefield.
The first creature who costs 5 mana is Brazen Moose. His health is slightly higher than his strength with 5 attack and 6 health. His special ability is Blessed which allow player to choose between three options which definitely will favor the user. some of the example is to gain favor or reduce the opponent favor. Favor is an important aspect to get free card in the middle right section in the board.
Blessed : When playing a creature with Blessed from hand you can delve from a list of favor and Sanctum related effects.
This 5 mana card has 2 special ability. The first one is Echo, which allows player to take 1 mana card with 1 strength and 1 health randomly. The second ability is this card allow user to special summon 3 mana wild monster randomly from the deck to the battlefield. If the summoned monster don't have Blitz ability, It will be in sleep mode and can only attack in the next turn.
The first 7 mana monster is Sage of Renewal. She has Regen +2 which allow this card to add +2 mana in each round. That means if the opponent never be able to destroy this monster, she will always have higher health points and makes her more difficult to beat in the next round. When this monster are summoned in the battlefield, player can refresh 2 mana and the player can also delve 2 mana nature spell cards which can support the creature or god.
The second 7 mana monster is Hydra. This monster is pretty good to counter the enemies strong monster when the high mana is given since he will give 6 damage to the strongest enemy monster. The strongest here means a monster with the highest strength. With the help of relic card, Moonlight Charm, we can make this monster even stronger by adding 2 strength and 2 health in each round. I had a battle when I did great comeback with this card, my god Health was just 3 and my opponent has 23 health point but I have albino Hydra with 10 attack and 10 health points so in the 2 turn of the battle, I beat my opponent using this buffed monster.
The table below shows the cards that I always used in the battle. The higher the order, the more frequently I used the cards :
| Number | Cards | Mana | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Black Jaguar | 2 | Creature |
| 2 | Vulpine Collector | 2 | Creature |
| 3 | Lightning Strike | 3 | Spell |
| 4 | Moonlight Charm | 3 | Relic |
| 5 | Moonbeam | 3 | Spell |
| 6 | Woods Hunter | 4 | Creature |
| 7 | Barksworn Hunter | 4 | Creature |
| 8 | Beasts Liberator | 5 | Creature |
| 9 | Albino Hydra | 7 | Creature |
Lightning Strike, Moonlight Charm, Beasts Liberator and Albino Hydra are very special cards because not only good for giving damage to the opponent but they can also able to be used to counter the enemy strong cards since they can destroy, give high damage or distract the opponent's strongest creature. As I play more battles, these meta cards (in my opinion) might change so let see if I found hidden abilities from the cards which I didn't list in the table above.
Alright guys so I am really new in this game. On the first day, I only play 5 battles because I didn't know that we have to play at least 10 battles per day to maximize the Gods token we may receive daily. So in the next day and the day after, I played 10 battles and got 5.37 gods token. The current Gods price is $0.23 that means if I got 5 gods token everyday, that would be 150 gods token in a month and it equals to $34.5 in each month. Well, I think it's nice for playing 10 battles in a day. Well, since all of my cards are delegated from my manager, then the payout is divided 50% / 50% between me and the manager so we both got $17.25 in a month.
My friend said that the payout will be bigger in Auric gold since I am still playing at Impact Meteorite. the higher rank will give higher reward so we need to keep battling at least 10 matches everyday to increase our skill to get more rewards and then increase our NFT card collections.
Alright guys, I think this is all I can share about my first post related to Gods Unchained. I do love this game because it barely has bots (the admin at Gods Unchained said that the percentage of bots is less than 5%). Besides we can create many strategies to beat our opponent. I really like TCG (Trading Card Game) which utilize strategy for the victory.
In the next post, I am gonna share about tips and tricks for the beginner to have good win rate and avoid doing common mistake that beginner usually did. Thanks for coming to my blog.
Have a nice day and take care ~
