[ESP-ENG] Riftwatchers Epic summoners revealed!
Ya pudimos leer la informacion acerca del lanzamiento de Ritfwatchers y el fomo empieza a crecer poco a poco, uno de los avances mas esperados fue el de los nuevos invocadores y esa informacion la pudimos conocer el dia de ayer, hoy en este post voy a hacer un pequeño analisis de esos invocadores, mas que centrados en ellos mismos, voy a analizar como creo que sus habilidades encajan en el meta actual de Modern, asi que comencemos.
We could already read the information about the Ritfwatchers release and the hype starts to grow little by little inside of us, one of the most expected advances was the new epic summoners and we could know that information yesterday on the townhall, today in this post I will make a small analysis of those new epic summoners, more than focusing on them, I will analyze how I think their skills fit in the current Modern meta, so let's start.
General.
Hablando de líneas generales, todos los invocadores cuestan 4 puntos de mana y todos son épicos, pudiendo llegar entonces hasta el nivel 6. Hay uno por cada Splinter y como dato curioso, los únicos invocadores de esta edición con 2 buffs son los de Tierra y Luz, que en Chaos Legion son los unicos invocadores que tienen 1 solo buff, mientras que el resto tienen 2 o mas.
General.
Speaking of general lines about this cards, all this summoners cost four mana points and all of them are epic, being able to reach level six. There is one for each Splinter and as a curious fact, the only summoners of this Riftwatchers edition with 2 buffs are the Earth and Light ones, which in Chaos Legion are the only summoners that have only 1 buff, while the rest have 2 or more.
Fernheart
Al igual que Lyanna Natura, este invocador da +1 de vida y la habilidad Close Range, que permite a las cartas con ataque Ranged que ataquen aunque esten en posicion de tanque, esto suena a poco pero es todo lo contrario, porque el splinter tierra tiene disponible una carta que con este invocador se vuelve increible:
Fernheart
Like Lyanna Natura, this summoner gives +1 life and the ability Close Range, which allows cards with Ranged attack to attack even if they are in tank position, this sounds little but it is quite the opposite, because the splinter earth has available a card that with this summoner becomes incredible:
Usando a Fernheart, esta carta se convierte en uno de los mejores tanques de todo el juego, ademas perfecta para combinarla con cartas que tengan la habilidad Amplify, y este splinter tiene una de las mejores cartas con esa habilidad, asi como tambien otras opciones.
Using Fernheart, this card becomes one of the best tanks in the whole game, perfect to combine with cards that have the Amplify ability, and this splinter has one of the best cards with that ability, as well as other options. Basically it's a counter against anything.
Sthispa
Este invocador dragon otorga la habilidad Phase a todas tus cartas, ya de entrada es un anti magia bestial pero tendras que saberlo combinar muy bien ya que si no tienes cartas con mucha velocidad la verdad es que el Phase te va a quedar corto. Lo bueno es que la magia de Obsidian por lo general es muy lenta asi que puedes sacar algo de ventaja ahi, donde mejor lo veo es combinandose con agua donde hay 2 cartas que creo que se vuelven demasiado poderosas con el bono de este invocador:
Sthispa
This dragon summoner gives the ability Phase to all your cards, and from the start is a beastly anti magic but you will have to know how to combine very well because if you do not have cards with a lot of speed the truth is that the Phase will fall short. The good thing is that Obsidian's magic is usually very slow so you can get some advantage there, where I see it best is combined with water where there are 2 cards that I think become too powerful with the bonus of this summoner:
Dallan
Primero que nada, para mi este es el mejor diseño de todos y por mucho. Este le otorga la habilidad Lesionar a todos tus monstruos, esta habilidad lo que hace es que al ocasionar daño a un enemigo, este pierda 1 punto de su salud máxima. Esto solo tiene efecto cuando peleas contra cartas que se curan, porque de esta forma limitas habilidades como tank heal o el propio Heal, asi que curiosamente esta carta se vuelve counter de la combinacion de Fernheart + Cornealus. Quizas Doctor Bligth y Shadow Snitch sean las cartas que mas provecho le saquen a este invocador gracias a la habilidad Afliction.
Dallan
First of all, for me this is the best design of all this new summoners and by far, just look at it close, is beautifull. Dallan grants the ability Cripple to all your friendly monsters, this ability means that when you damage an enemy, it loses 1 point of its maximum health. This ability only has effect when you fight against cards that heal, because this way you limit abilities like tank heal or Heal itself, so curiously this card becomes counter of the combination of Fernheart + Cornealus. Maybe Doctor Bligth and Shadow Snitch are the cards that will be the most useful for this summoner thanks to the Afliction ability.
Ilthain
Creo que este es el que tiene los stats mas fuertes, sobre todo por la velocidad. De entrada es un counter perfecto para su antecesora, General Sloan, tambien para Fernheart e incluso para el legendario Chaos Legion de Fuego, Conqueror Jacek. Pero ese punto de velocidad lo hace muy versatil porque es un buff para todos, no importa que haga tu oponente ni que cartas juegue, ese punto de velocidad siempre te vendra bien. Ademas es perfecto para combinar con cartas que ralentizan como Time Mage o Adelade Brigthwing.
Ilthain
I think this is the one with the strongest stats of all this new set of summoners, especially for the +1 speed buff. It is a perfect counter for its predecessor, General Sloan of Chaos Legion, also for Fernheart and even for the legendary Chaos Legion of Fire, Conqueror Jacek. But that speed point makes it very versatile because it is a buff for everyone, no matter what your opponent does or what cards he plays, that speed point will always come in handy. It is also perfect to combine with slowing cards like Time Mage or Adelade Brigthwing.
Aquatus
Este invocador me gusta muchisimo cuando lo estudias bien, otorga la habilidad Backfire a tus cartas, esto hace que tus monstruos le causen 2 puntos de daño a los oponentes cuando estos fallan algun ataque, y lo mejor que hay para esquivar ataques en Modern, es Agua. Hay mucha velocidad y mucho Dodge + Fly y hay muchas cartas que pueden sacarle mucho provecho a esta habilidad.
Osea, yo he tenido batallas en las que mi Phantom of Abyss esquiva hasta el 100% de los ataques. Ahora imagina que haga 2 de daño cada vez que lo hace...
Aquatus
I really like this summoner when I study it deep well, it gives the ability Backfire to all your cards, this ability makes your monsters cause 2 points of damage to opponents when they miss an attack, any attack, and the best thing there is to dodge attacks in Modern format, is Water Splinter. There is a lot of speed and a lot of Dodge + Fly and there are many cards that can take advantage of this ability.
I mean, I've had a lot of battles where my Phantom of Abyss dodges up to 100% of the attacks. Now imagine doing 2 damage every time it does it....
Skargore
Aparte de gustarme mucho su diseño, creo que su habilidad le vendra muy bien al splinter Fuego. Principalmente porque las cartas con Rage aumentan su velocidad y ataque de forma brusca cuando son golpeados, y esto en cartas con mucho ataque, como Grum Flameblade, o que tengan mucha velocidad, como Tenyii Striker, vienen de maravilla. Mucho ojo a las cartas con Retaliate, que pueden devolver el ataque sumado al rage, creo que con este invocador se van a ver muchos 1 hit kill.
Skargore
Apart from liking its design, I think its ability will be very good for the Fire splinter in general. Mainly because the cards with Rage increase their speed and attack very sharply when they are hit by the enemies, and this in those cards with a lot of attack points, like Grum Flameblade, or that cards have a lot of speed, like Tenyii Striker, come in handy. Keep an eye on cards with Retaliate, which can return the attack added to the rage, I think with this summoner you will see a lot of 1 hit kills.
Conclusiones.
Creo que estan haciendo un trabajo genial con los invocadores porque cada vez se vuelven mas selectivos, el problema que yo le veo a cartas como Mylor rowling o Byzantine Kitty es que son tan tan fuertes que no importan las opciones, siempre vas a elegir esas si las tienes disponibles y eso deja a otros por fuera. No importa cual sea la partida, nunca vas a preferir a Wizard of Eastwood por encima de Mylor Crowling, por ejemplo, es decir inhibes al jugador de crear estrategias si no simplemente lanzar la mas fuerte. Ahora se estan enfocando en que el jugador haga justo lo contrario, que cree todo un plan de ataque basado en las reglas de la partida y estos invocadores caben perfecto en esa filosofia.
Conclusions.
I think the developers are doing a great job with the summoners because they are becoming more and more selective, the problem I see with cards like Mylor Rowling or Byzantine Kitty is that they are so strong that it doesn't matter the options, you will always choose those if you have them available and that leaves others out. No matter what the game is, you're never going to prefer Wizard of Eastwood over Mylor Crowling, for example, i.e. you inhibit the player from strategizing if you don't just throw the strongest one out there. Now they are focusing on the player doing just the opposite, creating a whole plan of attack based on the rules of the game and these summoners fit right into that philosophy.
