Pluses and Multiplies

Hello to all reader and fellow FoW players!

It's me again, JoeyJY
and i am here today to bring you to my Idea of Magicstone decks, and how-to's

Firstly, Magicstone is a thing that we can never forget.
It runs your deck.
It does..

So as we know, that Magicstone has different deck than the main deck.
That is Magicstone Deck.
and we also know that Magicstone Deck can contain up to 20 Magicstone cards.

Magicstone cards divided into 5 colors, that is Fire, Water, Wind, Darkness, and Light.

What i will be discussing here is, what combinations should a non-mono-color player bring?
How will it work, and how well will it work?

Firstly, let's try combining a Mono-color.
of course it will be a total of 20 Magicstone cards, that have the same color.
since there is not (yet) the negative effects by getting more cards in Magicstone decks.

Next, we will try combining a multi-color.
What we have to do here, is firstly :
1. Check the ratio of the different colors.
2. Check how many Colored-will needed in every colors.
example is : Mikael has 2Light, while Leviathan has 2water
3. Check whether your deck runs cards that can help producing will.
example is : Holy Site, or Wandering Knight, or anything else.
4. Check whether your Ruler/J-Ruler has different color, and you want to Judgement-ed it.

let's saying i want to run a 2-colors deck.
that is Fire and Light.

Let's assume that my Ruler is this guy here






















Because i think the effect is good, so i will use his Judgement effect later on.
So keep in mind, that you need quite a little more fire magicstones.

next, Let's assume i got 20 Fire and 20 Light Cards in my deck.
and the highest cost is
this guy





















And this girl






















Because both need quite a few specific Color,
so we could assume to put 10 Fire, and 10 Light.
Or 11Fire and 9 Light to make sure you can use Judgement effect on time.

now let's change the condition.
let's say, this is my highest costed resonator























I will change the composition to 15Fire and 5Light,
or 14Fire and 6Light. or even 13Fire and 7Light.

of course, the chance of getting the magicstone is random too,
but what we are trying to calculate here is the percentage,
how many different magicstone will come out from the very top of the deck.

anyway, 2-colored decks is still not too hard to control.
let's see the 3-colored deck.
this is some cards from my deck recipes, which have 3 colors.
that is Darkness, Light, and Wind.

the Ruler is

Since the Judgement requirement doesn't need specific color, it's quite effective in decks which have many colors.

my highest costed Resonators


And the wind card

























In my deck, mostly 70% of it are Darkness cards. the 20% are Light cards, and the remaining 10% are Wind cards.
and i do my composition exactly 10Darkness, 5Light, and 3Wind.

why i don't run 20 full Magicstones card?
Because, almost all the time you need a very specific combination of the Magicstones.
While 11Darkness, 5Light, 3Wind will give bigger chance to draw Darkness from the first, and second turn. because i run some Will-producers in the deck too.
such as wandering knight we mentioned before, and the holy site, the dark pledge, and the tunas.

why would i run more darkness even that i put dark pledges?
again, my deck is 70% Darkness. so producing more darkness will is better than producing any other will.

why dont we put 10Darkness, 6Light, and 4Wind?
because it will lower the chance of getting the darkness on first and second draw.
again, because my deck runs 70% darkness.
And the Light and Wind cards aren't too critical in the deck.

But sometime, there are people that annoy our magicstones combination.
they are using Magicstone destroyer cards such as
the holy MFerBlack Sunheavy rain, and Hopeless Demise
so it's really burn your deck out..
if you have 3 or more colors..
it's just like starting from the start, using 50% of your original Magicstone deck, or even worse.

we have to be considerate if we want to use multicolored decks too.
we should be able to protect our deck from cards like that.

Now this is just an idea,
to open more discussion from our readers.

This is all for the Tips and Tricks for the Magicstone deck combinations.
I will post more when i have a better idea,
Or you can just put up what you think about this discussion in the comment,
or you can e-mail me your Ideas, and i will put it up here, under your name.

Make sure to keep watch on our blog daily.
