@@HometownTcg Loved it! I didn't mind the rebuild, I think for blitz especially you guys went the right way by leaning into one element and "splashing" the other. With only 40 card slots it's tricky to really support 2 types fully. It will be interesting to see how CC decks develop and if they follow that trend, or try to balance both, or even sideboard towards one element or the other depending on the matchup.
Excited to see what the none budget version will look like. Opened my first box today for aria and got some spellbound creepers. As always good work fellas!
@@HometownTcg top 4 win a case event. Too decided to split the case since it was late. Lol. Destroyed Ira in my quarterfinals match. Threatening 15 to 20 damage a turn put her on the back foot the whole game.
What would I add in to play in a constructed event ? It will be my first and I just put together the blitz deck in this video. Looking forward to playing and learning more. Your videos will be a great help. Thamks
Entwine Lightning got the cut? Imo, going against either Lexi or Oldhim that utilizes dominate and or hand rips, I would strongly suggest leaving Entwine Lightning (red) in, for the fact it's a zero cost, and if you're left with that 1 card in hand you can just throw it down. This goes for all zero-cost cards :). I absolutely love your energy, love watching your ideas... keep up the good work.
That is great feedback! we debated it for a while but it was outside the strategy of what we were trying to do with this specific build. We did mention that this deck can go in a couple different directions and you are definitely ON to something with keeping the 0 costs and capitalizing on the go again! Thanks for checking us out!
Thanks for making these! When I first got into the game they really helped me out :) Gotta a question for you! What would you replace the Ms with if you are running a "commons and rares" only deck? It's 2 reds, 1 Yellow and 2 Blues, just put similar stat/type cards in their place? Like a red 2 cost big attack, a yellow action that does something and 2 blue action cards?
of course! Thanks for checking us out! As far as the swaps go, we don't know off the top of our heads, but would be sure to try and keep the Non-attack action ratios as well as the earth/lightning ratios when swapping! Does anything immediately come to your mind as replacements?
@@HometownTcg Nothing came to mind! I ended up just swapping the 2 blossoming for 2 red deer attacks and then the candlehold and force of nature for yellow/ blue actions but not very relevant. Is the issue with only common/rares events, some cards are just non replaceable! Anyway, thanks for the reply and keep up the good work!
There are probably lots of changes if I'm being honest - cards have become much more affordable! I would focus on the 0 cost attacks for 4 with go again and go from there!
@@HometownTcg Yeah, I just bought the cards to upgrade from your Briar and Prism videos all for 22 bucks, heh. I'm just getting started so I am just looking for something to "get my foot in the door" and can work from once I get a little bit more familiar with the game.
Its definitely a weird rhythm. Arsenal slot is generally reserved for a NA Action so its easier to have two, generate Embodiment of Lightning, attack, weapon for max value!
guys, im in doubt about the interaction of blossoming spellblade and bramble spark. Bramble spark says the next attack action card you play this turn, but Blossoming Spellblade its already played, so how does it get the bonus?
You're right. It only works on your next attack action you play after that, which will have to have go again or you will have to give it go again with your hides in order to take advantage of that and your weapon.
New player here! So what's the general rule of thumb with substiuting cards? For example: I don't have any red Rites of Lightning, but I have plenty of yellow and blue. So, if I don't have red, go blue? That's the general gist I get from you guys lol. Thanks.
Generally, I would substitute it with a different card completely. The power of the yellow is going to be a lot worse being a three attack. Most cards block for three, so the red will push through one damage and it will create an embodiment of Earth token. This game is all about incremental advantages, so we say that finding another red card that is a lightning or elemental or runeblade red attack would be bette in most circumstances
If you are upgrading the Briar Blitz deck and taking out rights of lightning, you could just go for a full focus Earth build instead. Making sure you're running Autumn's touch, burgeoning, Earth lore surge, so tomorrow, etc.. and then having stir the Wildwoods and bramble Sparks and entwine Earth as your bigger attacks
Happy to see you together again !
Thanks guys! Definitely putting these upgrades into my blitz deck! Can't wait for Oldhim as a guardian aficionado!
Glad we could help! Oldhim is OUT NOW and that is almost a complete REBUILD! Let us know what you think!

Nice video guys!
2 fused bramble sparks in one turn is very feels bad to be on the receiving end of. Great addition!
Thanks guys! In limited or budget formats the card just does SO much work!
Excited to see what the none budget version will look like. Opened my first box today for aria and got some spellbound creepers. As always good work fellas!
Thanks Calam and congrats on the sick pull!
You going with Briar first?!
Love it! Running a Briar deck in my blitz event tonight! Seems super powerful!
Have fun! Let us know how it goes!

Sick! That sounds soooo oppressive!
You guys rock! Thanks for making this fab community better.
Nice! I might get a blitz deck, since I got my first-ever first edition booster, and it had some fitting cards inside.
Oh nice! Welcome to the first edition rush! Let us know how the deck goes
I read some where you can only have one force of nature in a blitz deck but looked at this lay out and you call for 2?
What would I add in to play in a constructed event ? It will be my first and I just put together the blitz deck in this video. Looking forward to playing and learning more. Your videos will be a great help. Thamks
What do you have in your card pool? Playsets of majestics? Any legendaries?

What packs got the best briar cards ?

Is this still how you'd build this as a budget upgrade post change to Embodiment of Earth?

Nice video, I am curious to know where you think these new hero's sit in the meta.
Thanks for checking us out!
I think that means its time for a waaaaayyy to early tiers list ;)
Will you be doing a video on how to play this deck? I've tried it a few times and getting beaten pretty badly with it.
Its definitely a weird rhythm. Arsenal slot is generally reserved for a NA Action so its easier to have two, generate Embodiment of Lightning, attack, weapon for max value!
It's not counting Autumn's Touch as a card. This upgrade actually has 41 cards!
That's so weird! Yeah it shouldn't be in the list. Just fixed it. Thank you!

What would you cut for the Tomes for the 2nd round of upgrades?
We would lean towards Sow Tomorrow. It's just not as good in blitz as cc
