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 and feels very chroma positive.   Thi

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:

New Dexter Build

 Happy new year!  It's been a while since I wrote a blog entry. I have been more focused on making video content. You can find all my social media links here to view them.  I am back today with a new palette build for Dexter, Master of Dragons.  With the release of Dexter's Dragon riders, I have now combined cards from all three Draco releases into this palette.  (Remember if you want to buy Ddr or anything from achroma.games, you can use my 10% discount code 'playingachroma' in the checkout).  The idea here is to get Dexter out quickly protected by Jamshid orb. You want to gain good with Dexter's and other dragons that he is protecting.  However the element of surprise of how much steals and drain is in this palette can hopefully be a win con to a surprise Achrom win, or at least hold them back whilst I climb to chroma win.  Crucial discovery is meant to only find Jamshid orb and Algiz. Algiz will only find Dexter. Playing these in first round means after Dexter&#

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 YouTube .  Since

Dexter master of CREATURES palette build

Image
  Going with the classic Dexter and Materno protection shield but changing dragons for creatures.  Maternos egg now only reveals Materno and not other low shard dragons that often went into Dexter decks.  I also put Impundulu feather in as it's even better protection than Materno and will even protect the more higher shard rares.  Creatures also get an extra boost from Slivinee (+X for each creature, including itself). All creatures are such low cost that you can easily flood the canvas them them.  A few freeze locations, actions and other aggressive actions to battle opponents plans.  Some card changes can easily be played around with here and changed but I am enjoying this one.  Rares :   Vast Volitarus can easily win the game itself too so put in there for shard boosts.  Materno has been explained above.  Jali and Ursusma are strong characters with strong abilities and can be trade fodder at the very least.

Draco 2 (first builds and checking out new synergies)

Image
 Draco chapter 2 has landed and we're all having fun working out the mechanics and possible synergies. In today's article I will share my first two attempts at palette building; one Chroma and one Achrom.  I will also talk through some of my thoughts on the cards and synergies. This is just my first attempt with these cards  so I am bound to make many changes. Please share your opinions on my builds and article either in the comments below or on the discord.  These are my two Legendaries for my palettes. I love the concept of having God's in the game. Both of these strike me both visually and with their abilities.  Hularla having a massive +4 makes it only a 2 cost. It's a location that becomes a strong character on your turn to attack and can FREEZE a cards resolve once per turn.  Mist Morgana standard -2 but with the magic of taking away another cards ability and forcing them to attack is a super exciting prospect. Both of my palettes have Harusk as one of their rares

Spirata Fall (with Palette updates)

Image
Spirata Fall is here! And Instead of ranting that it's called fall and not Autumn , I will just leave this little passive Intro and carry on with it....  Who will you fight for chroma or achrom ? what will be the fate of flutterby ?  For incentives to align with chroma or achrom Lewis & Echo have each made competitions for the chance to win a palette. Click on who you want to fight for to see their incentives: Chroma Vs Achrom   Achroma tools also have a working leaderboard to check where you are: link here   I still do not know who to fight for! But as stated before in my previous Spirata Season Article   I might tilt more of the Achrom side. Especially as my wife is full fledged Chroma, to make the dynamic interesting. (Although il probably still play both sides a little)  I have updated both spirata Palettes that I showed in the previous article.   Achrom breach is once again the only location is in the palette. So, deploying skeleton key will definitely put Breach in your
