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
This week on Drafting with the Stars we learn how to stay open during a bizarre and eventful draft.
This episode depicts a fairly straightforward draft, just to show you that sometimes the stars do align and the results can be – quite frankly – ridiculous.
Hello and welcome to a new installment of Drafting with the Stars! In general I like this format a lot as it has some great hidden synergies and strategies underneath a dense layer of 1/10 and 2/10 cards in curated packs. Let us begin anew!
Today we venture into the Dark Frontier for the first time and re-watch all my miserable decisions that I made during my fourth draft with the new set.

This weekend, we had another ECQ come to pass, and a ton of cool decks were brought to battle in the top 64. Let’s break it down! The story of the tournament was definitely the strong showing of Hooru, as well as the continuation of the Winchest and Jennev archetypes. Take a peek at these numbers(borrowed from Paradox

Hello everyone and welcome to another meta monday on Team Rankstar! I’m Tim (and Mitch), otherwise known as Tchamber5 (and Magikarp) on ladder! Let’s begin! Thirty-two of eternal’s best players came together this weekend for the ETS Season Four Invitational. There was a good showing from all of the big teams on the Eternal scene, including five members from Team Rankstar. One reason this event is so cool, is because you get to see all the best players bring what
Hello everyone, and welcome to another installation of Meta Monday from Team Rankstar! I’m Tim, otherwise known as Tchamber5 on ladder. Let’s dive in! We had a double down tournament weekend this week, featuring the Direwolf Digital Envoys Test Tournament as well as the final week of this season of the ETS. The meta may look a little familiar to most of you, though we had some cool new additions and tech decisions. Take, for example, the Victor of the
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
WHAT IS GOING ON EVERYONEHEY WHY THE HECK IT’S BEEN SO LONG SINCE THE LAST JANK FRIDAY ARTICLE? No worries my fellow spicy brew lovers. Here we go again. This is something you never experienced in your whole Eternal life.This is the crown deck YOU deserve. Ladies and gentlemen, this is ZHIRIK OO YEAH BAN 9000! WARNING: the whole purpose of the deck is to have fun with the game. Do not use it for laddering. Do not use it
Hello Everyone! Thank you for taking the time to read the first of many of my weekly posts titled, Eternal Optimist. I am going to dive in to topics that many gaming articles tend to ignore – health and taking care of your mind/body. This is a topic that is very near and dear to my heart and since I’ve been gaming competitively on and off for most of my life, I feel like I have a resume of improving
We are deep in the spoiler season ready for next weeks release and every day we get another piece of candy. I’m not ‘fraid of no cavities – spoil me away! Today I got my spoiler and I think this is a spicy one with applications in both draft and ranked ladder play in a few currently unseen brews. So lets pull the band aid off so I can get to the juicy stuff. Alchemists Concoction, is everything I like
Another week. Another deck. This week we have a much more serious list than last while still a bit on the meme side. First, this deck is a blast to play. I played Blackhaven on my stream twice while he was on this list — the first time he was Rank 1, the second time he was Rank 2. We split the games and he reclaimed Rank 1 off of me where he still sits at the time of writing.
