  With Draco Chapter 2's realese due in about 2 weeks time we keep seeing more and more sneak peeks at what's to come (new dragon card and lore writing can been seen in above photo). Achroma has also blessed us content creators with our an exclusive card each for us to share with the community. Look out for achroma.tools & Draco Temple blogs for their sneak peak articles.  So, drum roll please ......  Here is my exclusive card to share with you! 'The Fire Pit'. It is a two red shard location, with +1 resolve and the fixed ability 'Characters on your Canvas canning be FROZEN while The Fire Pit in on your Canvas'.  I really like the art work, a little warm nook in a cave over looking the icy realm. I can imagine my characters crowded round the fire in order to have protection from the new keyword FREEZE.  My previous article on the keywords can be found here . But to quickly explain Freeze is a new ability that can stop a card resolving for a turn (see image...

Draco Planum Chapter 2 ' The Last Snow Dragons of Altari' has been sent to the printers and will be with us sooner than the think! (See the new promo location above) And with the excitement we have been blessed with a few sneak peeks at the cards and the two new keywords : HUNT & FREEZE !  A card with HUNT ,as explained above, chooses another players character. On your next turn as long as both the Hunter & Hunted are still on their canvases then the ability commences. You see in the example of Dark Hunter you can erase the target card. Where as another example below Ogul allows you to dig for an ALLOUROS card. If will be interesting to see how many ALLOUROS type cards there are and how good this ability will be.  Kocora Bri is a legendary and is also an ALLOUROS, with it's mighty stomp of an action, bringing it back multiple times could be devastating.  This character seems to have 'mega hunt'. If it stays on your canvas until your next turn everyone else l...

After playing around with my first Draco palettes (deck build here )  I have turned my attention onto the key word SACRIFICE and building around that.  At first I didn't like the keyword, as it seemed there are better actions where you can get the same effects without also erasing one of your own cards.  However, when combined with other objects and actions this keyword all of a sudden gets really strong.  Examples; Bathed in Achrom means you can erase cards on an opponents canvas instead for a turn (and play 1 sacrifice card for free!)  Dark Toli means your attached character doesn't get erased when sacrificed. Sacrificial Ovoo allows your sacrifice ability to be done twice (for example scorch usually is steal 2 will now be steal 4!)  And Stolen Dragon Egg when sacrificed immediately steals 3 and then whatever the sacrifice effect does! So much devastation to be done here.  In both of the decks below I have used Ray as the legendry, he offers essentia...

Spirata Season starts 1st October and the next narrative event begins; Fairies Vs Pixies! Who will win? Who are you fighting for? And all I can say is..... I hope that they call it SPIRATA AUTUMN and not Spirata fall !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Fall is an American term and as a great English game it would be gut wrenching if we don't use Autumn! I must admit fall does 'fall' of the tongue easier, but still this is my current worry 😅 Either way though this is will be a great season as it is a very strong, fun and popular realm. The fight for Flutterby is on! And it is really hard to decide who to side with. In the lore I feel like chroma should win as a loss will really put a big drain across all the realms (although maybe the evil in you likes that). However, both factions have super great cards to play.  I always play both sides, I did lean much more on the chroma side for Draco's season. So recently I have been focusing more on Achrom builds to try even that out.  So, I o...

  Now Draco season is over I finally have all have all Draco chapter 1 cards, better late than never.  Iv played around with a few different decks and I am liking this dragon Palette at the moment. I am going for the dragon synergies but I chose Tenebris over Darnacusk because tenebris has a good steal 3 natural resolve and a powerful action of erasing a character or location.  I'm trying out serpents ring to steal other people's cards or to get an extra dragon on my canvas for strength in numbers boost.  However, I would probably swap that for cintimani stone and add Haims if I was to take this to any competitive events.  All characters are dragons apart from Nue which is a good way of protecting Tenebris.  Some strong control actions like breath of fire, claw slash & Draco summer.  Prism stone has to be one of the best valued objects in the whole game. And great  locations in this realm. Draco graveyard can get tenebris back from dregs, mona...

  In for the chroma win and agressive plays. The idea here is to get the twins out, with help of Solomon's influence and then play as many actions to trigger their abilities.  Jamshid orb and bothy for some protection. Cintimani stone and revival to get them back from dregs. Updates: I own two Haims to put in now, and i put in summon the thrusters which is a free mill card if you have Apollo out.  A few good locations here to play and also to use as trade fodder. 2 fireballs, tempest, Silent Thicket to mess up people's plans.  Tankards & Dark rainbow usually get the win!  My favourite build at the moment and does very well.
