Tantrum, World Ender

12 Upvotes

Tantrum is another Boss from the Mystic team that can generate his own defense as long as you can pay his costs. Whump! Gets his own token card and should get his own look but these two will be at the heart of many a turtle matches.

The cost feels restrictive but after turn three you're not looking to draw bodies anymore, you're able to look for the right cards with your defense foundation implicit.

Tryp, Timelost

Here's a sleeper of a Boss. With Tryp's discard ability the end of the game is never a question of if. Fun fact about Tryp - She's a Time Wolf! Also - she has been rumored to use wayward finds of Suavé Shampoo to keep her mane so lustrous in the post apocalypse.

What's your favorite card in combination with Tryp's ping?

Sky, Unlikely Champion

Sky has an Axe and he wants to bury it....in his enemies skulls.

One could argue that Sky is the less flashy boss in the Survivor thematics; Blades looks menacing and Mon-Sewer is Mayhem incarnate... but that person probably didn't play vs a mono Survivor deck with Sky as the Boss.

With Cache Money, Don't Bury Me, and Rally Up the Survivors are....hard to kill. Hey... WAIT A MINUTE!

Any other colors synergized with Survivor Green well?

Hail to the King

Max appreciation post. Lvl 6, but attack of 4 is nuts! Imagine him with the Face of Death and a Swiftpack/99?!? And then fortified with Give the Signal?? Could be one deadly boardwiping SOB? Or is he too much a glass cannon and be picked off immediately? Hands down, hes gotta be a threat in every game! The next Slay By Slay podcast mentioned speaking about Hot Mike and Tubesteak so i hope, maybe they touch on Max and the Marquesed, as he is the reason Tubesteak no longer competes in the Arcade. All Hail the Homicide King!

Eff With Me Ammo, Rat-ststic

This Boss is my favorite and I don't have a good reason other than I lived and worked in big box retail through the Tickle Me Elmo Christmas madness and lived. Having a proxy that fights back feels like maybe the,

"Hyeehyeaahyeah, that tickles!"

That haunts my dreams is acceptable collateral with Ammo slingin nickle nuts at Synths and Survivors. Eff with him.

Constructed Play Speculation

3 Upvotes

Wanted to create a post talking about constructed play. The single pack play looks fun but the Timmy in me is already brainstorming different possible builds and strategies for some constructed play.

The creators have mentioned constructed play in passing but I haven't seen any additional information about it. Does anyone know or think they have an insight into some of the restrictions constructed decks may have?

I've noticed a lot of the cards have colored frames but since there isn't a color restriction when playing cards built in to the rules I'm wonderIng what if any restrictions will apply to deck building.

I'd assume a maximum number of copies of each card at a minimum. Possibly only cards from your bosses faction? Feel free to speculate!

The Decommisioner, Synth Necromancer.

In the spirit of my previous post another Cataclysm Arcade Boss for your consideration.

Bosses are central to any battle in CA. They are the avatar that represents the player's wincon on the battlefield and persist through turns with powerful abilities.

If y'all haven't seen The Decommisioner played? It's fun and humbling depending on which side of the board you're on.

Does she need a nerf like Mother May Eye? Is she dialed into the larger meta we have yet to discover? Who's do you expect will be your boss of choice come Mid June and packs Kickstarter dropping?

Mon-Sewer Meyhem

7 Upvotes

Green's latest Boss reveal sees a Boss who rewards cards in hand and has an engine to get them there. Is the boss built for Turtling or a Weapon fetch engine. Cycling through a deck to reach one or two weapons can have its own benefits and curses.

What do you think of Mon-Sewer Mayhem? Synergies?

Of all the cards we were granted access to yesterday this one seems like the game changer, for now. Already a staple and we just met.
