EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PEEK

 


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 below). 


What are my thoughts on The Fire Pit? 

Against FREEZE it is amazing, all your characters are safe! It is only characters so locations and objects are still vulnerable. 

There is a feeling that FREEZE will be a game changing keyword so to have some protection could be huge.


Above is an example of another legendary in the new set that has a FREEZE ability.
Echo7 (Draco Temple) pointed out to me that The Fire Pit can also prevent the downside to using cards like Crackle.


There are also bound to be other abilities and actions that 'freeze all cards..'. So, having The Fire Pit out before deploying these cards will keep your own characters from getting frozen.

Against any other palette that isn't using FREEZE this card doesn't really doing too much.

However, it does give us 2 more red shards to get synergies with Chroma Storehouse & Chroma Overflow from chapter 1. 


There could easily be other new cards in Draco Chapter 2 that can also synergies with having locations out too. 

The Fire Pit has its own resolve, a slow +1 can sometimes go under the radar and be slowly beneficial. 

Are there other synergies and benefits having this location out that I'm missing? 
What do you think of this card? 

Please message in the comments or on discord to let me know your thoughts.

I have also made a YouTube (click for link) video about this card and many more. Please give me a follow and like the video. All interaction helps and is very appreciated.

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:

Norso Sneak Peek

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 and feels very chroma positive.   Thi

Community, Comiccon & Social Media

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 YouTube .  Since
