Hey, folks! So, because I have WAY too much time on my hand, I've decided to see how the Tags in Mythgard (stuff like Valkyries, Vampires, Constructs etc.) are spread out, and I've found some... interesting stuff. A few things before we begin:
I've purposefully left out some tags that I don't feel are really useful for this experiment (stuff like 'Life', 'Death', 'Legendary' etc.) as well as the 'Token' tag, though I have counted unique tokens as separate units.
I'm also counting units with more than one Tag multiple times for each tag (so Parsa Clarion will be counted twice, both as an Angel and a Zealot)
I didn't count any Spells, Enchantments and Artifacts, only minions.
I'll be referring to them as Tribes from here on out.
Finally, there are a lot of tags with the same number of minions, so I'll group those together and highlight any that I find worth talking about.
Without further ado:
We stand alone
So here's a fun fact: did you know that there are SEVEN Tribes with only ONE minion: Mollusk, Thrall, Dwarf, Elephant, Geomancer, Artist and Shaman. I can only assume Rhino is planning on adding more in the future. (though how many Mollusks can there be?)
It's worth noting that both Eirsdottir and Cataphract are dual Tribe, with their other tribe being FAR more populated.
The 3 biggest Tribes
I've a total of 47 Tribes for this experiments, and most of them share the same number of units (Elves, Heroes and Spiders each have 6 units, for example), but there are 3 that have a lot more units than the others:
It's ruff being the smallest of the biggest...
In case that pun didn't give it away, the third most populated tribe are the Canines, at 17 units. About 35% of these are also Soldiers, thanks to Green's Volkovs. They are also the only Tribe among the 3 that have tribal synergies.
I'm going to Construct a wall!
The second most populated Tribe are the Constructs, with 24 Units. Those are pretty much everything mech, statues that come o life, vehicles and... food... apparently. Most constructs can be found in Yellow, Orange and Purple.
That's the Spirit!
Finally, the most populated Tribe are, surprisingly, the Spirits, at 26 Units. The most are found in Green and Purple, with 34% and 38% respectively. The rest are spread as such: 1 in Blue, 2 in Red, 1 Token in Orange and 2 dual-colours.
The 3 most diverse Colors
There are 3 Colors in the game that have a good number of Tribes exclusive to them. First, there's Red, with 4 Tribes: Vampire, Minotaur, Satyr and Thrall. Of those, only the Vampires have more than 3 Units.
Then, there's Purple, with 5 Tribes: Avatar, Ninja, Outlaw, Geomancer and Artist. Only first 2 of those have more than 2 Unit in their tribe.
And finally there's Orange, who's in a bit of a weird spot. They have 4 Tribes all their own: Zealots, Angels, Jinns and Elephants.
But there's also a 5th tribe that is important to orange, but that it shares with all the other classes: the Centaurs. A.K.A.:
THE HERALDS OF RAGNAROK
Those are, so far, the only Cantaurs in the whole game, and that, along with the obvious thematic connection, make this a very unique Tribe.
Umh... What are you doing here?
So, there are some cards that don't seem to really belong in their tribes, but that make sense upon further inspection that I want to showcase here. For example:
Why is Grinning Kolobok a Construct? Surely it's a Demon or something similar, right? But if you look up it's myth, you'll find that it's actually a type of sentient food, who was "Constructed" in an oven.
Or those two:
Those are clearly people, how are they Constructs? But if you get into the lore of the game, you'll learn about proxys: human-like constructs that people can control from a distance.
Finally, there's Tyr:
Why is the Norse god and 'Undead'? But if you remember, the game takes place AFTER Ragnarok, and Tyr dies in that battle, so the only way he'd be here is if someone brought him back to life.
Closing paragraph
Hope you enjoyed this piece I've put together. I'm going to leave you with a table of all the Tribes I've considered for this, along with the number of units in each (each '*' means there's that many tokens in that tribe):
The tournament will take place on December 14th and 15th, with a 7 Round Swiss on the first day and the top 8 on the second day in a Single Elimination Bracket that will also be streamed. You can find more details here.
Hey, folks! Quick thread letting you know how to get involved with both the localisation and the lore of the game, if you want to. Keep in mind that both of these are voluntary work.
First up, localisation. You can apply to become a translator for the game, and then your client will be modified to allow you to edit the text, once you're approved. You'll receive some packs for your efforts. More info here.
Finally, lore. You can submit fan lore cards in game that don't have it (the text next to the card when it's enlarged). But hurry up: all submissions must be received before 12 midnight PST on November 11th, 2019. More info here.
The guest decks are on a rotation for each individual player, so chances are someone else has it. You can ask on reddit, the community is a tad bigger.
Hey, Folks. So there's a new Mythgard tournament happening on the 17th of November organizeed by 98.3 Media. If you want to participate, you should know that the decks MUST be Mono Color. Here are more details.
So this weekend a Mytgard tournament took place (forgot to advertise it here, sorry), and this little gem happened.
I'm going to explain what happens step by step:
The Ironbelly Wyvern is placed on Giant's Stairway, which gives it +3/+3
After attacking, the player replaces the Enchantment (which he can do because of his Path), killing the Wyvern
However, the new Enchantment is Stairway to Hades, which revives the minion that dies on it and gives it Frenzy (this doesn't work on Demons, and the revived minion becomes a Demon)
Because the Wyvern has Rush, he can go face immediately, and then play Wings of Abadon which also has Rush for lethal (the Enchantment there wouldn't have mattered)
All in all, a really awesome play. You can watch the whole thing here.
Wow, that's a lot of stuff! Thanks for letting me know!
By the looks of it, the end result is quite a bit better than what the promotional codes offer, which I've heard were only a temporary solution before fixing the new player experience. Wonder if those will stick around (maybe make them harder to get).
It's worth noting that this + the 10 packs from the promotional codes + the 20 you get for the 10$ bundle = 57 packs, which is HUGE. That's easily 5 or 6 Mythics on average.
Also didn't know about the prolonged high 5, that's also good. Weird that it wasn't in the patch notes.
Hey, folks! Writing this on a crappy hotel connection on my phone, so I'm going to keep this brief and badly formatted. About an hour ago from the writing of this post, a new patch landed that brings a lot of small changes, and a bunch of BIG ones.
First and foremost this patch introduces faction missions. They are special missions that must be completed by a certain color. You'll select your faction and be given it's mission, and you can change them outside of combat. Can't share a link to what they look like atm, sorry.
Up next, we have a couple changes to two of the paths:
Turn of seasons had its starting additional life reduced from 4 to 1, and it's Pursuit had increased from 2 health to 4.
Rainbow's end Pursuit was changed from reducing the cost of your first enchantment by 1 to giving you a Leprechaun's Coin that gives you 1 temporary Mana.
Finally, Orpheum of Horrors stops giving your minion +1/+0
There are some other changes, but they're mostly cosmetic or bug fixes.
You and every fifth person on Reddit.

This is a Discord screenshot of a message from the Rhino CEO that was posted on Reddit by u/weipenghuang:

If you still need it:
If you don't have Magnus and Bragi, you may be able to replace them with a couple Thunderclaps. Not sure about the rest of the rares.
The guest decks are on a rotation for each individual player, so chances are someone else has it. You can ask on reddit, the community is a tad bigger.
Here's a bunch of sites and YouTube channels where you can find useful information about Mythgard:
I'll add more as I find them.

I won't make another thread about this so I don't spam this section but if you redeem the code FOXFIRE on the game store, you get a card back.

Bolvar: *looks out the window and sees Dalaran* "I hate it when people park their cars on my property"
It appears one of the AI opponents found himself a new Majordomo.
Updated the post with the faction missions. Thanks @Krattsk for letting me know what the final rewards are.
Oh, I'm sure of that's the case. I was basing my statement on the fact that this post has more views than the introductory one.

Soooo this post has over 500 views in less than two days and I have a feeling it's because people taught it's hearthstone related :p

This one came out years after HS, but I'm gonna post it anyway because I have an unhealthy obsession with really like Mythgard:
For Mythics? I believe so, at 20 packs. Can't find where I saw that though.
