40enFri, 30 Dec 2011 02:27:11 GMTFri, 30 Dec 2011 02:27:11 GMT oh wow, that's pretty bad mistake, sorry
I type it really fast
yes, I know your name is Tititoro, because it the "I" is really close with "O", I pressed oooo, haha..

I'm in UK right now that's why I know it's around 10 (usually 10, but in past 2 releases it's at 11)

in Indonesia that would be at 4-6 in the afternoon (depending on there is daylight saving or not and if they are late or not, 7 hours differences)

hopefully I can get something good from the new blood pack]]>Fri, 30 Dec 2011 01:38:25 GMT Just adding on
The cards are released every other friday like you said at Midday. (Greenwich Mean Time, so +0)
So because I live in australia it is around 9.30 pm when they're released for me
p.s. sometimes they're out by an hour or 2 ]]>Fri, 30 Dec 2011 01:34:53 GMTThu, 29 Dec 2011 23:50:10 GMT the new card releases are every 2 weeks on Friday around 10-11 in the morning UK time GMT 00

maybe around 6 in the morning in USA depending on where do you live]]>Thu, 29 Dec 2011 23:21:37 GMTThu, 29 Dec 2011 23:07:07 GMT The card releases are pretty close to every 336 hours. The clan predictions are merely guesses. And the forums are fairly easily located after a bit of snooping. So why do you ask?]]>Thu, 29 Dec 2011 22:49:22 GMTPiranas will have an amazing card in 1 or 2 releases. Btw, poison Ivy89, how do you hear of this?]]>Thu, 29 Dec 2011 17:35:30 GMTMontana?]]>Thu, 29 Dec 2011 17:11:31 GMTVortex not junta]]>Thu, 29 Dec 2011 17:10:38 GMTRoots Nightmare Jungo and possibly junta]]>Thu, 29 Dec 2011 13:04:28 GMTJungo, Junkz, Nightmare, and Montana.]]>Fri, 23 Dec 2011 16:49:52 GMT
They both are great for different situations.

For starting, ability stop can easily put of poison.

However, bonus stop may help you beat a lot of cards, but mostly rescues Uppers and montanas, ie, Steve or Pam or Prince Jr, and for t2 say Hefty, or Don.

For finnishing, ability stop can avoid all dam reduction except
Vholt, pussycat bonus, Ivana ability, Bristone, GHEIST cr, Arno, Jeena, Yookie, Dwan, and Redra(i think thats it), which can be useful considering damage reduction can be a pain to get past for finnishers. Idk if the Wonald bug still exists, but if so, we have a counter.

But as for a finnish aspect of shakaarti, if you say got 10 damage on opponent, say lost with C Wing and won with Dregn(sometimes i use C Wing in t2 decks, merely for the 2 hit ko tactic) then Shaakarti doesn't worry about dam reduction. Although, this is rare. The main finnish part is against sob clan bonus... And technically Pussycats, but thats another story!

Aligned with offense capability, its preferance, whether you just look at ability stop and bonus stop the same, and therefore because he has 1 less *, as if he had same attack with 5* he will win, but if you find most bonuses more tedious than abilities(opponents that is) than you may prefer Shaakarti.

Another conclusion i just realize is that it is very rare for xodus's damage to get to 1(Ivana, or Dwan+Vholt) so if you don't really fear these possibilities, which honestly i'm not that sared of, then go ahead and use your preference(even then, Shaakarti has Vholt + Uranus/grax, which is debatebly more or less common).

Obviously there are more counters for soa then sob, so you know.

Last thing i want to say is that when tanto said that if i have 4 2* in my elo deck, which means it lacks 4*, i say you can't really blame me. The only 4* in it is Dagg, and pretty much the rest are bad(speaking before release of exodus). Perhaps i will make a deck with exodus and no ftagn, but before xodus, really the only good choices were heegrn(low power), Krung(low damage), lergh(lets face it, nobody really likes him anyway(lol)) and Kronnen(horrible without revenge. But with the 5*, Dregn is good Sekutor is good C Beast is good, and even Oflgn is good. I wouldn't mind having 4 good 2*, Deea, Dagg, and 2 5*. my reasoning is if the 2* have a deadly tactic, as i mentioned earlier, and my 5* are good, 4 and 3* are good enough, then how can it not be a pretty good deck? Idk, just my opinion. The only flaw is that its really weak towards soa, but i don't really fear that so much. Even if i did, what would i use? Drorb? Izsobahd? C Wing? None of these are as useful as Deea.

So if you see anything flawful in this, feel free to comment o.O]]>Fri, 23 Dec 2011 03:25:01 GMTFhtagn Ld that means you are really in need for 4th (!!) two stars which is really imbalance (usually 3 are more than enough even for a mono)

for X-0DUS
it is easy to dodge him, but that's what I want
you forgot that means it is really easy to read what you are going to do if you will not fight against X-0DUS
it makes your pattern easier to read if you try to avoid him
you have: graks, Stella, Copper, Havok
I know you will go for Stella and know how many pillz should I put
with Shaakarti? you might want to think twice to use her against this draw

X-0DUS is really good as starter, bluff and finisher card (esp finisher part since it can pass through DR)
with Shaakarti, oh SOB, hit me, I got DR (of course sometimes it is not that easy if you have another 8 damage Vortex)
X-0DUS: I can do nothing to stop those 6 damage and they will get me after this or it will be over if this one in

IMO against Shaakarti, except she is the finisher, I would try to use another card to counter her since she is not that threatening for me

don't forget you can use many other Vortex cards in T2 to finish them as long as you have Vortex bonus (not only Shaakarti)

I want to write more but I already reach my word limit
IMO we are talking too many possibilities here we might stop here as it might getting ridiculous
Shaakarti good at something X-0DUS also the same
if you like it, you use it, I tried Shaakarti before and can't wait to try X-0DUS in T2]]>Thu, 22 Dec 2011 23:52:47 GMTDregn almost always has 5 damage... Ish, as it can only be reduced to 2 minimum, but shakaarti is a good way to counter run of the mill Nightmare and Piranas, and although we could throow in heegrn, we all know how little her power is.]]>Thu, 22 Dec 2011 23:47:49 GMT
To start with, true that nobody uses Butch, but i almost always use ftagn ld in my elo decks. The reason why is if i win first round with Cyb Lhia, 7 of my opponents life goes, unless if reaching 4 prior. However, this only makes it to 7 opponents life without fury. So, if i win with ftagn, i'd gain 3 life, which should go well with Neloe, and then when i lose with C Wing, my opponent will have 4 life, and theyed have to be very tough to beat it.

Back to the point, you appear to treat him such as other soa cards. Okay, so you have him, and choose to use him. Is my grax or Uranus threatened, no, i'll play them with courage, crisis avoided. Although, this does provide them having to dodge around it, there are blind spots left and right. Now with shakaarti, yes, i'd lose 5 damage, to a mere 2. Now what? Well, i've got Dregn, C Beast, and Sekutor who can typicaly make 8 damage, and with fury, that makes a ko. So i can simply use 1 all out with fury, assuming they do not play a damage reducer, and because previously, Shaakarti went, i should go second. If i win the round, i win the fight. Should i lose however, i recover 2 pillz out of 3, and now i can kill you with my others. And then, as for Copper, C Beast makes a decent counter, and so does Sekutor, Dregn has fairly good odds. He just so happens to be only good with his ability, and not many cards are like that.

Whenever i go up against an opponent, i almost always find somebody with a bonus. As for abilities, i could face Glosh, or Cortez, or Dorian, or Cassandra, and many others. The only bonus counters are anything with protect bonus, or Hula pretty much. And the immune clans remain same, Skeelz, Leader, GHEIST, and Roots are immune to both. I'm also pretty sure that win vs lose, you'll find that fighting Ashiko for example, is not gonna be fun.

I'm not too scared of Herman and Nellie, but. The main reason i found these irrelevant was Dorian. And likewise there are better situations for him, refer to Ditha, Oflgn, graxsmxt, Uranus, Kolos, akhab, Emeth, but the reason i dislike him is because hes easy to dodge around. Although, probably takes the 2nd best 4*, because hes not as good as Dagg, but is better than Kronnen, anzd heegrn.

Don't get me wrong, he makes a great card and a great release, i just feel that he is very hard to fit in Vortex decks. Although i do agree, no questions, if he were 5*, no courage, he would be truly better]]>Thu, 22 Dec 2011 20:13:01 GMT to be Frank, no one use Butch and Fhtagn Ld..
people will use Cyb Lhia, Neloe and C Wing which is more than enough for 2 stars

for T2 I would go for X-0DUS than Shaakarti
why?
how many graks, Uranus and Copper in T2?
loads of them and they are really annoying
Shaakarti may get advantage in battle, but graks or Uranus will reduce it to puny 2 damage
while X-0DUS will stay strong with 6 damage (even though has small disadvantage, but X-0DUS would be good as a finisher with 8 pillz for example.)
don't forget Copper, Herman, Nellie etc that will make Shaakarti looks really bad

the main advantage of X-0DUS is that he doesn't care what happens win or lose, he will do great, definitely need his SOA, however even without SOA he is also an OK card (7/6 is actually a 5 star stats)
if UR make him 7/6 SOA at level 5 (without courage) will not even gonna complaint]]>Thu, 22 Dec 2011 17:55:50 GMTThu, 22 Dec 2011 16:15:06 GMTThu, 22 Dec 2011 10:57:16 GMT Can any1 tell me what decides if a card wins a round when both players have the same attack
Just wondering because i always seem to lose]]>Thu, 22 Dec 2011 00:53:06 GMT
For Klawz, not quite the best for her ability, but we will see potential from this new ability.
They could even make a nice bonus with this, where theres almost no flaws, except if your oponent has no bonus, or if you had a halfdeck, and you could be up against the rescues

Moving on, theres Darril. I see some use, but i think other 2 * will replace him.

Lena is nice, good stats and nonetheless good counter for good cards. Best part is immunity to damage reduction and Caelus Cr. Almost as good as Fixit, and possibly harrow.

X-odus, i think is overrated. X-odus as a card is great and all, but not sure how he'll go with other Vortex. In elo, ftagn and Butch also have courage, and i don't prefer two courage cards in 1 deck. As for t2, i prefer Shaakarti, merely because of 1 extra damage, and bonus, because there aren't nearly as many counters as sob.]]>
