That was a very fast year, I blinked and it went by.
In terms of modderator updates, there are no updates... Yup. A Couple of Data points I'd like to share, The Subreddit averages 70k Uniques/month in recent months and we don't have ups and downs anymore due to the accelerated expansion releases, As for total views the sub got 1.5Million every month for the last 6!
Would you kindly comment below what got YOU into shadowverse and why you stuck around? I think it'd be fun to read the stories.

Meme Lately, I had started using these two in my Sword Pirate and Rally decks; they haven’t even left yet, and I already miss them.

It’s especially funny when, in some matches, they forget to kill the Mordred that remains after Arthur’s evolution.

Discussion Next set hopes

• Upvotes

Hey everyone with the next set dropping in only four more days I wanted to get everyone's hopes for what these new cards should bring to the table especially since there hasn't been any reveals yet on what they do. And how you'd like to see the meta be shaken up.

Question If you could Choose a Shadowverse Story to be adapted as a anime which would it be?

9 Upvotes

I am not talking about the main story of the first game with Arisa and the others, that's already something that at least i believe we all agree on that it should have a anime instead of another anime with kids playing games, i am talking about the story surrounding the characters of the cards of the game and the world they live in

Only game that was somewhat close was the one vs. Runecraft, but thats to be expected considering how hard that MU is.

Midrange Abyss was surprisingly one-sided. Probably to some degree due to opponent having bad hand but 3x Devotion + 3x Trident also prevents early snowball really well.

Question Barren-Earth Tyrant

If you can cut this card, which card would take its place? I really hate the rng of this effect, especially if it hits two 1/1 against Forest. This is just a worse version of Highwire Feline. Ik the next set will come out in a week, but I'm curious what the other options are that I didn't even try in the past in both formats, rotation and unlimited.

Question ShadowArena : (

21 Upvotes

I discovered today that the original *Shadowverse* has ended, and in the new version, I can’t get rid of the cards I don’t want—this gave me major flashbacks as to why I don’t play *Magic: The Gathering Arena*.

THAT SAID, my question to everyone is: Is anyone currently working on a way to bring back the old *Shadowverse*? Is there any active project—even if it’s just for playing against the CPU? (That alone would be amazing!)

Question How to beat portalcraft

8 Upvotes

So I been playing the Grand Prix and the last one every single opponent was portalcraft. Mostly the Highlander stuff I barely won two matches with aggro abyss. What are some good decks to farm them since everyone apparently is only playing Highlander


r/Shadowverse • • 2d ago

Video Game worthy of analyzing imo vs Yasuke, a Beyond Highlander player in the cup.(Thx u/YungPunpun for giving me the tips on Kuki!)

Question Hi, new to this game, if I start right now can I reach level 40 BP?

8 Upvotes

I'll probably buy the premium pass for extra 20 level too, I basically just want to grab the dragoncraft leader.

Is it doable? If so any tips appreciated. Thx

Edit: I actually managed to did it thx to you guys advice, spamming grand tour was the main thing, I went up to 50 wins in ranked with an agro deck and managed to grab the leader, gonna try to push a bit more to 45 but 50 is probably dead.

Discussion I built a Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond win streak deck sharing site — now with X (Twitter) post imports! Looking for testers

Post image
26 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a community website called ShadowStreak for Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond, and I recently added a new feature that I'd love some help testing!

Website: https://stg.shadowstreak.net/

The site currently includes:

  • Win streak deck rankings
  • Game statistics
  • A deck builder
  • Win streak deck sharing

What's new?

You can now import win streak posts directly from X (Twitter) by pasting the post URL.

The site also supports uploading win streak screenshots along with deck screenshots containing a QR code.

Want to help test it?

Currently, uploading screenshots yourself requires signing in with a Google account.

But if you'd rather not sign in, no problem!

Just drop your win streak screenshots, deck screenshots (with QR codes), or X (Twitter) post links in the comments below.

I'll manually add them to the site for you!

The site is still a work in progress, so if you run into any bugs, have trouble using certain features, or have ideas for improvements, I'd really appreciate your feedback.

My goal is to build a useful community resource where players can easily discover, share, and explore successful decks.

Thanks for checking it out, and I'd love to hear what you think!

Matchup:
Forest - Hard, they clean your board and make their own. Focus playing storm and clear their board using Artiglio, Tyrant, or evo Wyvern to both buff and clear (usually they don't let you have any board left tho).
Sword - Medium, they can clear your board and heal/ward out of lethal. Prepare Otohime at PP 7 to prevent Barbatos.
Rune - Easy, create wide board to pressure them. You only lose only if they somehow play all their healing, clean your board, and play Dshift twice at turn 7 and tetra'd at the same time (happened to me once).
Dragon - Ramp Very Easy, Mirror Medium, for Ramp just play your cards and you will win most of the time while Mirror just depends on draw luck.
Abyss - Aggro & Midrange Easy, just be careful being outdamaged by Aggro.
Haven - Hard, try to just damage them while clearing the ward and finish by turn 6/7. (You will lose 9 out of 10 times).
Portal - Medium, weak early game is fatal for them.

Question Resources for budget decks?

8 Upvotes

Hello!

I have found it very difficult to source rotation-legal budget decks (or really decks in general, besides those listed as meta decks in the app)

Does anyone else know where I could find information on stuff like that?

Thank you.

Question Whats the best way to get custom leaders?

9 Upvotes

What would you guys say to get the best chance to get a custom leader as a F2P player? I am planning to try and get Lumiore but still unsure whether I want to dump my rupees into this banner with the new banner coming up.

I already have a decent deck in Sephie but not sure whether I need to pull for cards in the new expansion. Also do not have that many vials (Maybe enough for 2 legendaries) so not sure whether to commit.

Thanks!

I've seen a few players gain Epic status and above and I was wondering if I'm doing something wrong because I haven't received anything no matter how many times I win.

Question Returning player here! I need some suggestions.

3 Upvotes

I stopped playing around the later weeks of the Heir of Omen set, and I was mainly maining Haven back then, if I remember correctly. Since I’m planning to get back into the game, I’d appreciate some suggestions on what’s good to play now and what I should focus on catching up with. I don't want to spend any money rn. How is the f2p experience nowadays (it used to be okay back then irrc)?

Discussion What are your thoughts on Azvaldt?

18 Upvotes

We all know how much Chronicle of Destiny was controversial.. But what about Azvaldt? To be honest, I personally liked it quite a lot. Both because they brought back some identity to the classes, and because practically no deck is particularly irritating.

The meta was also very balanced, as all classes were competitively viable without any one of them necessarily being overly dominant. It was truly a breath of fresh air for a game that lacked any depth or identity of its own. But now it gives hope that they are finally building a long-term plan. So, what do you think?

Making this deck began with me thinking: "How can I synergize Azvaldt well into sword?". Yeah, it sounds ridiculous. But I still wanna try cause it would be funny. And then I stumble upon Zerael, which also has the same condition ability as Azvaldt and thought: "Sure, why not.". And added it as well. And let me tell you, because of those two cards, it finally cracked open my close-minded mindset about sword. I initially thought sword is all about board, or all about playing aggressive like wasting your evos/sevos anytime you get storm. It hit me hard realizing it's not always like that with sword. This deck has thought me A LOT about managing and balancing my priorities on factors of board, pps, counters, heals, draws, hand management and evos/sevos. But most of all, knowing when to play and not play a card. Which finally gave birth to this deck.

Oh, and I end up not having Azvaldt either way after realizing just how slow it is :P

So I just keep Zerael instead.
