The "" is a new weekly segment here at theand meant to be aon what has been going on, either, ingenerally, or in the head of the columnist specifically.The column will be written by our resident writers and their opinions are obviously just opinions - you might disagree, heck, we'd almost be disappointed if you don't disagree! Feel free to participate in the discussion onMathias MelgaardReadEver sincehit the streets I have been curious about wherewould find his place. Wauw, that ability! At that cost! With minimum effort you get the ability of consistent card draw – what’s not to like? Even his die sides weren’t too bad with a rare blue hero discard side to complement his disruptive theme. I found him intriguing.Unfortunately, thenever managed to make much of a showing for the first part of themeta. Though I did see him pull some tricks at some well crafted decks at our local, he never found his way into a competitive deck at larger tournaments.That of course was until just last weekend when, stepped up the hero game atpiloting(or as I like to call it ””) to second place in what for me is probably the most intense Destiny Final in some time! (Seriously, if you haven’t seen it, go watch it ☺)I for one, have already dusted off the young aspiring jedi, and right now, he is already runningscreamingNot too long ago, there were several complaints about live coverage failing at large Destiny tournaments. As we all know,aren’t exactlywhen it comes to… well much of anything really, so there was an outcry forand fellowplayers alike to step up the game, take matters into their own hands and bring liveto the hungry masses.I for one, think it has gotten a lot better! Not only, have we seen streaming from several, but the format, with live commentary is a joy to tune in to! I still believe there is some way to go, but watching live coverage, nail-biting competitiveonor, half way around the globe is definitelyAs we are approaching a new format with, and as of current, a lull in competitive Destiny in some areas, what better time to dust off your old binders, sleeve some whacky cards and give it a go with some crazy deck ideas!I, for one, always have a bunch of “unfinished business” with a set. When the set hits, all these crazy ideas pop up, but seeing as everybody is heading straight into figuring out the new meta, I never really get around to the whacky ideas, as they admittedly are just that, too whacky!But hey, if you don’t have any big tournaments ahead in your local area, who can claim that swingingwith afor 13 damage ain’t justRecently becoming a father of a little baby girl has left me somewhat off the band wagon when it comes to staying updated with the recent Destiny content (aside from the ever presentteam).With some of the “old” content creators seeming to have gone off the radar (reportedly because of the acclaimed “lull” in the meta), I just recently started listening toFor me it has been a breath of fresh air. Being a group of very skilled players, they not only bring interesting strategic insight, but also puts forth a positive attitude toward the state of the game, regardless of how far in the meta we have come. If you haven’t done so already, do check it out! It is! A big shout-out to the guys atHot Damn! What’s not to like?? 2 cost, ambush, and with an ability makingwant to squeal like a happy porg! As until, only heroes have been fortunate enough to have powerful 2cost supports (looking at you) to properly utilize.Now, with the(the real ones!) entering the game, villains finally gets access to a proper 2 cost support. Granted the die is not as strong as the(especially withtagging along), but the ability to consistently pump outin one round is gonna be crazy.Imagine setting up with around one, popping outround two, and finally come swinging with around 3 for a 10 damage total, just by playing the cards! Add on top of that the dice themselves with a ceiling of 16 indirect + 14 ranged damage by third round – that’s gonna beOr should I say lack thereof. Yep, sad old song, but that doesn’t make it any better.is almost upon us, and still, several places inhas no listings for Regionals events. I believe the same goes to some extend for theA lot of players (myself included) have work-schedules setup for months in advance, so whenfinally get their act together and let the stores know when the kit will arrive, it is often too late. Not only does this lack of information bar some players from playing, but it also bars players from meeting up with this great community! Lack of information is definitelyhot!Being a prominent debater (some would even say) in the, many people have opinions about. I for one, have respect for the man. Aside from being an undeniably skilled and honedplayer, he also sparks debate, builds phenomenal decks and together with the rest ofguys form one of the strongest competitive teams out there.Currently he is missing in action, prioritizing family which I am certain he has good reason for! But for mewithoutisquite as hot Looking forward to his return. And congrats towith his new daughter.… after a long night-shift… As a now, experiencedplayer, I have nothing but praise for our sharp thinking Chiss. I love the card design and the way he rewards players for knowing the meta; reading your opponent, spoiling his plans while laying down your own master plan!But him being sharp minded, and myselfso much after af 17 hour night-shift on our weeklyatunfortunately doesn’t make the best conditions for a master plan. As much as he can be rewarding to the skilled player, he can be utterly devastating to the sleep-deprived player after once again, completely forgetting what was in your opponents hand. Before you know it you have voluntarily walked yourself into your opponent’s poorly concealed trap (much to the amusement to the buddy across the table).Maybe it’s not Thrawn beinghot, maybe it is just me!Well, what can I say, I thought he said he would become the new…. I guessOf course I am excited for the new spoilers (gonna leave most of those for next weeks columnist), but having been giving away all my third copies of uncommons and rares throughout the past year, I feel somewhat saddened by. Thatishot when you no longer own three copies of anything!
