    @Brigby

    I posted a question in the events forum regarding the word choice of Play vs Cast for the event objectives. Could I persuade you to take a peek and reply here for everyone to see so we can plan accordingly.

    Thanks in advance.

    Sure thing! I'm pretty sure that Play and Cast are the same thing (As opposed to summon), but I will double check with the development team. They might already be out of office, since it's already past 7pm in Montreal, so I unfortunately might not get an answer until Monday. Having said that though, I'll send out an email to them today.

    It feels to me that they've randomly swapped a lot of the third objectives.

    Also not very encouraged by the second objective for all three FiRF nodes. Play five vehicles. Five!

    'Fate of Rarely Fair'?

    Why not just call the events 'The Top 5 is Random!' or 'Who didn't play Mersicide?'

    So that only people with Gonti's Aether Heart can get a perfect score, I guess...

    That event name amused me.. I think it's a cute way of saying to the players "for the love of all things holy, when will you stop complaining about bad luck?!!"

    Even though they probably know the answer: Never

    Chiming in on this. The "win in 5 rounds" in Nodes of Power is already the hardest and most random objective we've run into. I'm actually one of the few people that likes these objectives which mix luck and skill as I find they make the game fun and less grindy. But there only a handful of strategies that actually have a chance of working and most of them fail if any one of a dozen things go wrong (turn with only loyalty gems, AI uses a bounce spell, flying defenders, etc). And that's on red, the perfect color for this objective.

    With blue, this will mostly just go to those lucky few who happen to get a really good cascade in their first couple of rounds. Can we please reconsider this objective? How about "Cast no spells" to go with the "Cast no supports"?

    I don't know what you're all complaining about.

    Play Dovin Baan, cascade into a Deploy the Gatewatch on turn 1, bring out Skysovereign, Aetherstorm Roc (for 1 energy), and Decimator of the Provinces, in that order. 5 Damage to the face, 36 on the table with haste. That's more than enough to win on turn 5. Then all you have to go is get 9 loyalty before your opponent dies to activate his first ability.

    Challenging objectives like this one are the reason we NEED broken cards which are bad for the game to exist.

    Where did we land with that play or cast debate? would be nice to know if Saheeli's Ult can take care of 4/5 vehicles.
