playingachroma

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 ...

  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. For my YouTube video all ab...

 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 o...

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 ...

  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...
