Revealing SECRETS

Secrets is a great keyword in the world of Achroma. It came out with The Conjuring of Curdle Cove realise / Salum Planum chapter 2. 

It was largely popular as it is an interesting way to play, often strong and sometimes really risky mechanic. I stopped playing it for a while just from building different Salum decks. 

But I have recently revisited and rebuilt a secrets palette, and in the process remembered how fun it is! 

For those that don't know it is a keyword which allows you to take the top cards from any palette and place it under one of your own cards on your canvas. 

This removes them from play and can help with cards like Lord Willard, which is steal 1 for each secret on your canvas. 

You also have the option at the very beginning of your turn to erase your Keeper (card Infront of the secret) and gain that secret on your canvas for free. 

I found myself longing to play some secrets so I made myself this deck: 


Straight off the bat, there are definitely improvements that you can make with this deck list. I am not using cards that I have in other decks and just used the cards available to me. 

Having a second dark rainbow would be essential, also fireball, quintessence, Haim & cintamini stone would all be obvious choices to make this more competitive. 

*Edit- since writing this I have put two fireballs in, replacing blueberry grove & cove caves, to add an edge and have a way of combating tricky locations * 

However, that's not the point of this article or deck. It's not always about winning, especially in an overly repetitive way. It is always about having fun though and enjoying the game!

Obviously here you collect secrets, holding opponents hopefully important cards from them. 

Stock piling secrets will increase Lord Willard's resolve and Luxmorn villagers action. Playing Summon the harvest is a great way of boosting both of these examples. 

If you do want to reveal secrets, doing it with Luxmorn lighthouse is essential or at least after using Solomon Rift to see if it's worth earsing your keeper for. 

Lots of characters to boost Curdle cave, characters and locations to Boost huxon, tankards and dark rainbow. 

This is definitely a chroma build but can also get Achrom wins through steals (this could be made a stronger Achrom with some adjustments).

Norso Sneak Peek

Image
This is my first article in a while. Mostly my content has been on video .  Largely I am not recording due to loosing my voice working as a scare acter (boo!)  Although, it's good to be back on blogspot, thank you for reading!  We are in Norso spoiler season as we approach the release date for Norso Chapter 2 : The Monsters Of Norso !  We seem to be above ground in this chapter, obviously with monsters. The above image was shared to everyone on the discord, containing a potentially achrom mutated minotaur and a vast sinister looking labyrinth. What else awaits for us in the Norso Planum..  The content creators in the achroma discord have each been given their own sneak peeks, I will link the other content creators who plan to share sneak peeks here for you:  Draco Temple , Antinomy93 , Achroma Lord .  Without further ado, here is my sneak peek:  This is Vitki Village! Presumably a location. This looks like a beautiful and tranquil place to live an...

Dexter updated

Image
 After yesterdays blog ,with my new Dexter palette build, I realised some errors that I needed to amend.  Mainly being that I didn't notice that the characters in DDR are all heroic. So, I had mistakenly played doubles.  I took many of the second copies of heroic cards out and switched for similar characters. This allows more cards on my canvas as well as adding even more drain and steal into play.  I kept two copies of Thisp as its action can be very helpful. I also added two Monastery nests because they are great gain locations.  To read all the information on how this palette works and how to get Dexter out, you can read here . Those have stayed the same.  However, I realised getting Dexter out later on in game is much more benficial than earlier for a big sudden gain.  Here is the new deck list:

Community, Comiccon & Social Media

Image
The main purpose of today's article is to praise Achroma for its fantastic community.  The company itself does so much to interact and strengthen their community but then the players themselves take it a whole step further.  I have always felt accepted and welcomed by the Achroma players on discord . But, living so far away from where most of the action happens (Poole and more northern areas) I hadn't had the chance to meet people outside of the internet. That changed when I was invited to Mcm Comiccon London by the Achroma Team.  I was very blessed to be invited into the Achroma Guild. An inner circle of sorts (which will keep growing). I had my tickets and travel paid for, I was gifted a Deluxe Box, got interviewed by Charles and spent a great day at Comiccon and with the community.  The achroma Facebook & Instagram uploaded this photo and wrote these lovely words:  A vlog and unboxing video, as well as all other content achroma related can be found on my ...
