Blossoming Fate "Wild Predictions" thread
In advance, I'm very sorry that this post comes so late, but if anything we should address at the elephant in the room: why tf didn't we get a proper reveal season??? We've had almost half the Legendary and Gold pool be locked behind the Deck Portal dump, and said Deck Portal dump didn't even came hours before the update, but straight up during maintenance. This took me in my sleeping hours, so sorry if I sound tired.
But we are here: the "mandatory" Wild Predictions thread, where we aimlessly try to bet on what cards will and won't work, fail spectacularly, and just have a fun time guessing before playtesting. You probably know what a "wild prediction" is, so don't be lame and only say "Dirt Rune will be good", give us something unexpected or at least elaborated upon.
As always, and despite how scuffed the reveal season was and how sleepy I am to analize the cards, I'll leave examples for all classes:
Forestcraft: getting buffed at the end of January for sure, such a sad expansion for Forest. And if they don't buff Aria, it's GGs for Forest until March.
Swordcraft: Loot isn't going to fall that much, but now there will be a case for running Mid Sword instead. Knowing how Jerry got to be a tech for desperate matchups, I can see Oulon seeing play as a "fuck it, I'll try stealing the game" tech.
Runecraft: Lhynkal Rune will be a legit deck that will be very popular on ladder, despite being worse than Dirt Rune (which will dominate without much issue). Tempo Spellboost will also see play, making Rune one of the most varied classes of the expansion.
Dragoncraft: Ramp Dragon, with a sprinkle of Marine, will become a top 3 deck thanks to Erntz and Behemoth General. Pure Marine eon't be nearly as good.
Abysscraft: after a week of experimentation people will leave Same-Cost Abyss due to slowness and inconsistency of the payoff.
Havencraft: Ward Haven now for sure will be the better Haven deck, even if just with Sofina and Protective Shell.
Portalcraft: there won't really be a "spellslinger" deck for Portal, but Slaus will hugely spammed across many decks.
Overall it is a more interesting expansion that I was giving it credit for, but it feels like most new cards either lack power in general, or a payoff in particular. Going back to my previous Wild Predictions thread, apart from fluking it with Mode Abyss being the better deck and Dragon being Tier 2 (but only by the end of the expansion), I missed a lot lmao. No nefs at all, Puppets being the better Portal deck, Forest sucking ass... Apart from u/freezingsama and u/UBKev 's "Dragon gonna be good" predictions and part of u/Black_Citadel 's comment (the Dragon and Abyss predictions), EVERYONE was wrong, and it's probably the time we've been more wrong i a long while. Special props to u/UBKev predicting that specifically Evo Dragon would be good.
Now, what are your "wild predictions" for this expansion? What do you think will Blossoming Fate bring to the table? A complete shakeup of the meta, or just minor changes due to the power level of the expansion? Now I leave the rest to you, I am way too sleepy to stay and read your answers, in fact I almost fell alspee while writing this. So, until "tomorrow"!
