Man, how embarrassing. I had a crap deck in draft anyway, and I just wanted to blow through my three losses so I could earn a new draft ticket. Then I pair off against Drab. In addition to my deck being blah, I made so many mistakes.

Not sure I could have won even if I did play optimally, but I certainly could have crumpled less easily.

Which game/deck was that? I'm guilty of almost never noticing names.

I don't remember what all it had. I just remember some stupid moves. Like you played Usury on me, which allowed me to afford Rite of Brood right away. Great, the smart thing to do would be to not play all my money first and then buy the card. Guess what I did!

That was just one of many mistakes. I was unimpressed with that deck and just wanted to slam through it. I wasn't thinking clearly.

Tell me you weren't playing Daru so I can wince less.

I don't remember, but I'm going to say sure just to punish you for getting me hooked.

I think not remembering is even worse :(

Why punish me for getting you hooked? I got you hooked out of love.  It's a good game.  Come here.  Hug me.  Bring it in.  One extra hug for each chore you put off to play War of Omens.

It will cause me to generate a random herd and attack you at the same time.

For things that care about your hero attacking, what counts as your hero attacking?

Spending Skulls? (yes, I'm 99% sure.)
Lead the Charge?
Serpent Altar?
Stampede?

Is there some rule?

Is there some rule?
Spending skulls and magic is attacking.
When a "sorcery" or "spell" says to attack without saying who is doing the attacking, your hero is doing the attacking.
When a permanent (duration card?) talks about attacking, it is always that permanent itself doing the attacking.
When a "sorcery" or "spell" says things attack, and uses nouns to specificy who is doing the attacking, individual that is said to attack does indeed do the attacking.  That means your hero attacks once when you Stampede, no matter how many allies you have.  It also means if you use Infighting against Ysera, three quarters of the time she'll heal herself.

I'm really enjoying these ridiculous stally combo decks.

Shofet Daru (+card)

Malediction
Boar Unguent/Sacred Tortoise/Boar Fetish/Shrine of Rebirth/Rite of Passage
Misinformation
Enchanted Treaty/Enchanted Treaty/Veil Warden

7-1

Almost every game came down to killing my opponent from 50+ health, using Boar Fetishes and Rite of Passage. Quite ridiculous.

Did you draft both Enchanted treaties first?  Tortoise, Boar Fetish, Rite of Passage, and to a lesser extent Boar Unguent aren't good outside of feed hero magic decks, and it's usually risky to try to draft a feed magic deck as Daru because you might not get offered magic producers and feed hero magic cards and you don't have magic in your hero ability like Ashkar and Anibaldo.

I got another 8-0 with Doge, reinforcing my belief that he is the king of 8-0's.  I had Usury, Stratagem, and Goat Poultice, which is, like, a deck on its own.  I ended up drafting Boar + Ritual Slaughter to make the best of some bad pick choices, but I got Ballista as an alternate target for the Ritual Slaughter so it wasn't too bad.

I got a funny game with Ashkar. I had four herding stones and two maxed Bishmogs out. I was getting herds faster than my opponent or I could kill them or Tavern Wench them.

Yeah, doing that with Herding Stones is a Thing.  It's actually a Thing in constructed, too.  Not with the Bishmoggs in constructed, of course :P

I know for sure one of the Enchanted Treaties was first. It was probably Boar Unguent, then Boar Fetish, then the second Treaty. I know Rite of Passage was the last pick, and it was that or Underworld Barge.

It's sad but the Barge still might have been correct.  Such a strong card.

It was a 7-1 run.  Can't stop the Doge.  Hope that makes you feel better.

Haven't played draft for a few days, but I got a 7-1 run here as Daru:

Waylay/Reconnaissance/Deceit/Lackey/Stolen Plans
Underworld Barge/Halting Rebuke/Hedge Guardian
Gold Panners
Miracle

Ugh, how am I supposed to burn draft tickets with runs like there?

I've played this game for the last couple of days, and I can't tell if I love it or hate it.

On the one hand it seems to hugely reward people who spend money on the game over those who don't, which irritates me. On the other you can theoretically eventually grind your way into every card which I like.

The other issue I have is with card balancing where cards that get levelled up seem so much better than cards that aren't that it seems impossible to play multiplayer games as a new player. Even a vaguely competent opponent should be able to beat you unless you get a really lucky start.

But in general I like the game in its purest form. The mechanics are really sweet for the actual games and seem really well thought out. Balancing seems to be not thought of though.

This is why I gave up on multiplayer. I still "play" it sometimes, but it's mostly just clicking through as quickly as possible so the other guy can beat me. Free 50 Silver. That's half a card. I even have a purple deck that lets me kill myself off (added bonus: It's such a risky venture that I sometimes actually win).

Of course, this is against people who have a handful of epic coins. Those people have clearly played more than me, and their decks will be more efficient than mine. People without epic coins tend to be treated more seriously; I could actually win against them.

The tournament is the great equalizer. Everyone has the same chance. It boils down to actual skill and some shuffle luck. You can't buy your way to victory there. Well, I suppose you could keep redrawing your deck until you get something you like. And if you get a killer deck, you could keep reusing it for a gem. So I suppose there is a way to improve your chances with actual money, but I imagine those are rare. Or maybe I don't suck as badly as I thought I did (that sounds unlikely).

It's similar to Arena in Hearthstone. You pick one of three heroes, then pick one card from 4/5/6 to add to your deck, until you have a 10 card deck. Then play against other people's drafted decks until you've lost 3 times, or played 8 times. Then get rewards based on how many games you won.

I agree 100%. That's why I'm dicking around with making a physical set. I needed an excuse to figure out Card Maker anyways.

You're gonna have to do a hell of a lot of shuffling with a physical copy of this.  Also, there's quite a lot of random effects on cards...

Yeah, I'd have to say that this is one of those games that does much better as a computer game. The reshuffling alone would kill your cards. I suppose you could implement Dominion rules where you have a discard pile and only reshuffle when you run out of your draw pile, but that would remove some of the strength of green. The constant replacing is part of green's strength.
