That’s a lot of skins...

I predict Dark Emperor and Brilliant Fairy as the anime skins and Sekka as the 5th anniv Skin.

Yes I’m tempted to play Shadow why do you ask?

[RSL] Resurgent Legends: Portalcraft Cards first impressions.

The announcement of Shadowverse Worlds Beyond prompted some questions about the future of Shadowverse. For now, its’s expected for both games to run at the same time from the start of summer 2024, but it’s safe to assume that the original Shadowverse will be getting less and less content with time.

Resurgent Legends introduces the first signs of this: A repeat of the last new year leader skins for the end of year event, a focus on releasing just the skins for the winners of the previous anniversary poll, and, most important, old card art getting re-released in the form of new cards with modern effects. Overall, the whole set feels nostalgic and fresh at the same time.

Portalcraft is no exception, the original playstyle of adding artifacts to the deck is getting more support in this set, but it seems that’s not the only mechanic getting new support. And so, it’s time to read the new additions to the class.

Bronze Cards:

Reboot Button: I remember this card being wonky, but this new version is quite good, it works as a decent starter for the deck, while its eventual transformation choices help to either accelerate the pace, or sustain the player in case of trying a late game victory. 3.5/5

Hall of Monoliths: Are we… are we getting a new way to recover Play Points? If not, this card’s cost is quite high. It’s only decent when playing on curve, it won’t see much play. 1/5

Mia, Winged Puppet: The Second Resurgent card is also lowkey decent, sustaining yourself is less valuable than the self evo but it’s appreciated: even so, it’s not the best evo nor puppet support, but it deserves some testing at least. 2/5

Puppet’s play: Control card, it accelerates your destroyed followers count by a lot with the enhance effect but it’s not good as a turn 6 play unless you’re teching it in Enhance Portal. 3/5

Silver Cards:

Ines, Maiden of Shadows: Oh boi is she back, she still retains a resonance related effect that synergizes great with Artifact portal by tutoring either Retrafia or Agyll. New Artifact staple. 4/5

Holy Biker: Good addition to artifact decks without being broken, it’s a good candidate to see play. 3.5/5

Father of Medicine: Artifact tutor with PP recovery on evo, for three cost I’d rather play some other cards with better evo effects, but it’s not completely unplayable, it’s just that there are better options. 2/5

Gold Cards:

Laser Tyranny: This burn is funnier than Disseminator of Wisdom’s Accelerate, let’s hope Galdr is nowhere to be seen during the next expansion. 3.5/5, it’s good on paper but not a key card.

Death Gunner: Enhance support! Good Enhance support! Sadly, it will be restricted to being 1-of in Enhance portal, but it’s a nice addition nonetheless. 4/5

Legendary Cards:

Electric Rhino: Self cost reduction is always good, the actual value of the card comes in the form of its rhino tokens to enable a burn/control playstyle for artifact portal and a new winning condition for the deck. Obvious staple, seems good enough to put Artifact Decks in high tiers. 5/5

Eon, Destiny’s Hand: Control card, good on paper, destroying our own followers needs a better wincon than Lyelth but this card is a great enabler. 4/5

Overall, these new portalcraft cards push the classic playstyles of artifact and puppets but further testing is required; in the meantime, Artifact seems to have gotten a stronger push, but it might not be enough to topple Machina or Enhance decks. While the meta settles, Portalcraft has 3 (maybe 5?) options to climb, who will be the strongest at the end, and will it be enough to guarantee a tier 1 spot? We’ll see in the next weeks.

The good news: SpyxFamily Skins have doubled pull rate (0,0060%), making it easier to get them.

The bad news: There are FOUR different skins, so sniping the one you want will suck.
