Mistborn: the Deckbuilding Game, Strategy Discussion

[KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren He/Him]

Well, everything in this subforum has been Cosmere RPG so far, so I decided why not. But, well, if I'm missing something and this can't go here please tell me.

Anyway, M:tDGB. Strategy. I'm going to assume that anyone reading this knows the rules.

First up, I'd like to talk about cards. Maelstrom. Absolute game-changer for my last solo game against the Lord Ruler. I also do like copper cards because of damage reduction and training, which I feel like is very useful as you want as much atium as possible. 

Now, combat-focused or mission-focused. For my first multiplayer game, it was 4 player, and like the whole thing was combat. The only mission that people did was Luthadel Garrison because that gave damage. The second game, it was 3 player and I was playing Marsh so to decided to try and win by missions. Unfortunately for me, Vin (@ShardOfTaynix) and Shan (@LordHathsin_Surviv0r) (I know, unlikely pairing), decided to team up on me and used Crushing Blows and stuff a lot and give me the target every round. They were really annoyed when I kept drawing Coppercloud and blocking their damage, but eventually they did kill me. And then Vin killed Shan, as normal. I was so close to win-by-missions, I was on the last one, but didn't make it in time.

So, it appears that combat is the way to go. Maybe that's just because @ShardOfTaynix and @LordHathsin_Surviv0r don't understand the importance of missions.

Well, I play a lot with FatherDrag0n8 and we like to play Co-Op. We just FINALLY defeated the Lord Ruler, and it involved a LOT of luck.

We used so much copper because any healing is OP. He was playing Marsh and mained Bronze (To get to the top of the mission tracks) and Pewter (For healing and damage). We got crazy lucky and got a lot of enemies and low amounts of edicts.

I mained Kelsier (love him) and got (in my opinion) the best card in the game. Mercenary. A little bit of steel, and you can get any card for free the next turn. I mained iron and steel, and before I knew it, I had a deck of fire and damage. Because of Kelsier, Mercenary, and all of the damage cards I had, I was able to kill any enemies that came out. We killed the Lord Ruler 2 turns after we got to the top of the mission tracks.

Also, healing cards are goated.

Edicts are early-game pain, until you deal with the missions.

I don't think there's an online version, no.

Umm... I don't know

Not a lot Early Game when it actually mattered more, which is good

Maelstrom let me wipe out all the LR's allies at once.
