Realmless Tier Ratings

Creating card tier ratings has begun, as a way to have fun and help new players understand what are popular cards.

Charlie on Achroma's weekly stream kicked this off by tiering the realmless cards whilst the discord community rated their positions.

This also served as practice for making a tier of all the separate realms, soon to happen on a special 24 hour live stream. 

Here's what the realmless tier looked like: 

Some obviously disagree with the list and have different opinions but more or less everyone agrees with the top3, just maybe in different orders than shown here. 

3- Haim Shard Cache 

2- Jamshid Orb

1- Cintimani Stone 

Niimi, Ray and the Rifts are close behind but cant really be played in any palette as easily as the last three, mainly because they're legendary and may not be who you are after to play with. 

3- Cache is a great card and it's a very valid argument to put it higher up on this list. Unlike the two rares in this list, or all the legendaries with it in tier A, being uncommon means you can have two copies of Cache in any palette. Simply having it for 5 shard trade fodder is strong enough but a quick way to steal three can be equally great. 

I play this in my Asa Deck. This means when I get Asa and Apollo out, playing Haim triggers their abilities and I end up with a plus 1 shard and a drain 4 from an opponent

2- Jamshid orb has some debate around its placement here, and in a palette as one of the four rares available. Some like myself put this object in almost every deck, whereas others say that the card isn't as strong as people say it is. This is valid because of more increasing ways to get around protection; poisonous, bounce, claim/restrain, role reversal. 

However, even still protection is a really important ability and can allow you to attack and erase other characters whilst still getting an all important resolve that turn. Plus if you put protection of Ray or Copper Joss, who already cannot be attacked, they become even harder to erase. Another good use is putting Jamshid orb on a less important card to bait a card like bounce to be used before you put your more important card out to the canvas. 

1- Cintamani Stone is a S tier card hands down. I struggle to see why it wouldn't be in every palette and I personally need to own many more copies to make this so. Once again, purely to 5 shard trade it can be life saving. But its steal 2 is also a good resolve. However, its pure power is in its action; 'Dig a card from any players dregs and immediately deploy for free'. This opens the game up in so many ways. Save your all important erased card or steal someone elses!

I look forward to all the tier listings and I will probably write posts on those too when they are made. Salum is my favourite realm and Dark Rainbow has to be a S tier card! Spirata is also very popular and I cant see Copper Joss being any less than A, if not S. I don't know the other realms as strong, so I look forward to seeing what other players vote!
