Hello everyone, Tchamber5 here! Today, I wanted to talk about something that I think is an important skill to have when advancing your skill as an Eternal player, especially when you start to become interested in competing in Events successfully. I am, of course, talking about attacking a meta game. There are a few points that come to mind when pondering this topic, that range from deck selection to card choices. Know what decks are popular There are a couple
Hello everyone! Nathan “noverb” Overbay here back again to talk strategy with you.

Trials of Grodov wasn’t the most well received set to be released in recent months. It didn’t include a Player vs AI campaign to fight through. This was a disappointment to some, while it was a welcome surprise to others, myself included. I didn’t really enjoy having to rip through the campaigns just to get my cards. I never took the time to enjoy the duels, it was always a question of how could I unlock them faster. My suggestion

Hello and welcome to a new installment of Drafting with the Stars! I have recently went through my draft card ratings list and updated a lot of things there – be sure to check it out! You have probably had some drafts where you thought everything was going your way, but there was something … missing. A key component if you will. Maybe even more than one. Usually, these drafts end with … unexpected results. Pack 1 Pick 1 This

Thirty-two of eternal’s best players came together this weekend for the ETS Season Four Invitational.

Hello everyone and welcome to another installation of Meta Monday! Before I continue with the introduction, I just have to go over the West-Wind Herald in the room. The winning deck of the ETS speaks to my soul. As a brewer at heart, seeing such a niche and previously unplayable deck tuned to its peak is everything I want to see in Eternal. But before we can afford to devote more attention to the best deck, let’s continue with a

Hello everyone! Heywhyyou is here to deliver some high quality™ jank. This is a good old Mind Link list with some additions from the new set (merchants and Substitute are one of those). The core idea of the deck is to control the board while setting up all we need to roll (playing Mind Link, Crown, etc.) and even knowing this deck doesn’t have Harsh Rule doesn’t hurt you at all since a lot of Elysian removals start giving extra
