I think people are underrating how good Tome is for the Emperor. I actually think the card was designed more for him than Dromai. It’s a single card that after a Flamescale activation gives you the 3 resources needed to use Emperor’s ability. It’s a perfect card for him. Of course I love it in Dromai as well.
I agree with you for the most beautiful art this year is Aegis. I wish all angels were done by Soyameii! I also almost forgot: where are your lore videos about Dusk till Dawn, Bright Lights and soon to be Kassai of the Golden Sand?!?! 😭
The best of these ten in my opinion, is Warmonger's Diplomacy, hands down. If a single card can relagate an entire hero class to mediocrity, then it deserves the top spot. Viserai and all other Runblades will live under its shadow for the rest of their existence until something is printed to deal with it or it's banned. I can't even conceive of a new Runeblade that could deal with it without printing a whole new Runeblade archetype of cards for the class to go with them.
I don't think it hits Viserai that bad. She doesn't mind spending a turn to just set up. She'll just block with full hand and then free play a rune gate cards from banish for like 10+ damage on the next turn.
@xyton4201 It still forces Vynsett to take a setup turn and, essentially, time walks her, and if she just took a setup, turn its very good. The fact that it still dictates her next turn makes it disgusting. On top of this, her play pattern is already too predictable, one of the reasons she's not great right now, but it also makes playing Warmonger's on a good turn for her really easy to do
It's controversial even in my local play group, but I find Themis infinitely better looking than Aegis art wise. I love the more stylized look. But it's not as playable, so yeah.
I think figment of rebirth is better than figment of protection. It can get back Genesis, Suraya, ALS, even figment of protection... Also the Bonds line deserves an honorable mention

Yup, it's nuts!
Tome is moderately good in Emperor and massively good in Dromai. It’s not underrated.
Who's underestimating it lol 90% of the emperor decks on Talishar run this nonsense...

You’re all wrong. Métis is best angel. She looks like she can break me in half.

Themis is super underrated in the looks department
"People that make numbers go slightly higher are good people in my book"
**Stares at companies increasing greenhouse gas emissions by ppm**
... Point taken 👀
Wild that Aegis makes this list but flesh bag doesn't
It was on the list but I had to cut it down to 10
"Today we cover the 10 best cards of 2023 and explain why all of them are contest the mindfield!" 😅
I like all of these takes!
Figment of judgment is best looking card imo. I know I'm wrong apparently. But. Yeah.
You know, I can't disagree with how good Judgement looks...
I think figment of rebirth is better than figment of protection. It can get back Genesis, Suraya, ALS, even figment of protection...
Also the Bonds line deserves an honorable mention
It was in the original 12 that I picked out along with fleshbag
OG Marvel Suraya from Dynasty is the most beautiful card in the game. Don't @ me
Last time I was this early.......that has never happened before.
Sorry hard disagree. Sekem, Archangel of Ravages is by far the best Angel art.
great, now my card costs 10€ more than last week.
How come Slay did not make top 10? This is nonsense 😂
