Ladies & Gentleman,

The New Box “Destruction Geas” has been released featuring several different cards.

Out of all the different cards, I have found the Memetotlan cards to be the most Beginner & Budget Friendly. As a Beginner, New Player, or Returning Veteran to the Game, I encourage you to consider investing in this remarkable opportunity!

I have created a very inexpensive Deck which I estimate to be around 2.5k to 5k Gems!

It took me 3k Gems to make this Memetotlan Deck, but I did get Lucky on some of my Pulls. If your Unlucky, It might take you close to 8k Gems.

However, The Average Person is going to be some where in the Middle (4k Gem Range). All the cards come from 1 Box and you can usually make this Deck with only Half the Box.

I have added 8 Cards from Outside the Box to complete the Deck which are:

- 2x Kaiju -> You can get them from Regular SR Tickets (NOT Dream SR Tickets) Save the Dream!

- 2x Kiteroid -> You can get them from Card Trader (Regular Inventory)

- 2x Forbidden Droplet -> You can get them from Dream UR Tickets (Only Tough Card to Get)

- 2x Gaia (Extra Deck) -> You can get them from Card Trader (Regular Inventory)

Keep in mind, Gaia is a Free 2 Play Link Monster -> You can use others, but I am using Gaia because if you’re New to the Game. You might not have any of the other Powerful Extra Deck Monsters. A lot of the better Extra Deck Monsters come from different Boxes which you might not be able to get as New Player so I am adding stuff which you can get!

In addition, New Players start off with Limited Extra Deck Space. I think you are only allowed 6 Beginning Extra Deck Slots. I am able to have 9 because I unlocked the Extra Spaces. I left the 3 Extra Deck Spaces Blank to pretend I am New!

——————

Let’s Take Stock!

- I have explained the estimated Gem Cost of this Deck.

- I have explained how you can Obtain the Cards in this Deck.

- I have explained how the Deck has been built with Similar Restriction you might have.

So the question is what do we do? Well, I am going to show you what to do!

All the cards in this Deck have walls of text! It can be very overwhelming & intimidating to play a Deck like this because of all the different effects & plays this deck can do!

However, I want to keep this Memetotlan Deck very Simple!

You don’t need to know 20 different plays to win a game! You only need to know 1 play!

- Our 1 Play is very simple!

- We will bring out a 5,000 Attack Monster

- Then use that Mighty Monster to Bash our opponents 4,000 Life Points to 0

- We win! -> So Amazing we are!

When you think about the situation in the above manner, You can see how Easy it is!

You can do this! It’s a piece of cake.

——————

Let’s Go Over our 1 Winning Play!

It all begins with ANGWITCH!

24 Cards in the Main Deck -> Angwitch is how we want to Start every Game!

I know what you’re thinking!

How on Earth can we Start with Angwitch every Game if we only have 1 Angwitch in the Deck?

I created 7 different ways to get Angwitch!

- 3x Dark Blade -> He can kill himself to get us Angwitch

- 2x Bone Party -> It can kill off a random monster to get us Angwitch

- 1x Skill: Precious Cards of Dark -> It can Shuffle Cards in our Hand to get us Angwitch

- 1x Angwitch -> We could draw her at Start of Game

On the surface, It seems we only have 1 Angwitch, but all the other cards I mentioned only purpose is to get us Angwitch!

SO WE START WITH ANGWITCH!

- Angwitch -> Gets us Tatsunootoshiro (Horse)

- Tatsunootoshiro can Special Summon himself out + Destroy himself!

- We Send Ghattic, Goblin, & Mace to Graveyard

- Ghattic (Looks like Kuriboh) Special Summons himself out

- We add the Goblin to our Hand

- We use Angwitch to kill Ghattic -> Bring out Mace from Graveyard

- We use Mace to kill herself + get us Fusion Special Spell

- We Fuse to get Creation King

- We use Creation King to send our 5k Monster + 2 other Memoto Monsters to Grave

- Try to send different Memetotlan Monsters with different names to Grave

- The Creation King has the Power which I call an EYE for an EYE!

(1 of ours killed for 1 of theirs) or (2 for 2) or (3 for 3) etc.

- The Creation King can be a Board Killer/Wiper.

Be very careful if you use Creation King active ability!

- Then we Special Summon our 5k Monster from Grave to Field to Win the Game!

Flawless Victory!

It’s 10 Simple Steps. I feel even a New Player can do this.

And that is all! I hope everyone can experience the same joy & fun I have had with the Memetotlan Deck. They are a very unique deck which bring a destructive attitude to the game. It can be funny watching them blow up themselves and opponent Monsters.

Ladies & Gentleman,

I am a New Player + Beginner!

As a Beginner, Reddit Players have been very helpful with opening ideas.

They gave me suggestions to watch YouTube Videos.

I am happy to report I have followed the advice and I think I have found a set up I like.

(Photo #1) -> Might have Spoiled it, but yeah I want to play Elephant Opening.

I think the Elephant Opening can match my play style.

The problem is the Elephant Opening I Play doesn’t seem very popular.

I have decided to make this Thread today to get some guidance.

I want to share with you the moves I play to see what you think.

I have decided to keep my Opening Theory Knowledge to 3 moves because I’m New!

——————

(Photo #2) -> Before I start, I want to share with you concept.

The Concept I want to share with you comes from Regular Chess.

I’m new to Chinese Chess, but not Regular Chess so I’m trying to apply similar principles.

To Win in Regular Chess, The Goal is to Attack your Opponent’s weakness.

To Not Lose in Regular Chess, The Goal is to Defend your Own weakness.

The person who can Attack the Enemy Weakness while Defending their Own often wins!

They win or draw a lot more vs. lose!

My Play Style is very Positional, Defensive, & Slow Attack Building.

In Regular Chess, People would label me as “Python”.

A Python is a snake that slowly squeezes the life out of its victims.

My Play Style is similar because I make it hard for my opponents to attack me.

Then I build up an attack which causes my Opponent to feel as if they are being suffocated.

——————

When I look at (Photo #2), The Starting Position of Xiangqi.

I look at the Weak Points in my Position + my opponent Position.

- The Pawns on File 3, 5, & 7 are Undefended (Weak)

- The Cannons on File 2 & 8 are Undefended (Weak)

- The Elephants on File 3 & 7 are Undefended (Weak)

7 Pieces are Undefended in the Starting Position of the Game.

Most players recommend playing a Central Cannon Opening (Even Pikafish with Green Arrow).

It makes sense to me why an Attacking Player would do Central Cannon Move.

The Pawn on File 5 is Weak + King is on same File -> So Attack It!

BUT I am Defensive Player -> So I’m thinking of Defending my Weak Points!

Then I go for the Attack after my Defenses are in place!

This is why I like the Elephant move.

——————

When you look at (Photo #3), You can see the Impact of the Elephant!

- Elephant are no longer Undefended

- Cannon are no longer Undefended

The Pawn on File 3 & 7 can move up later and Elephant will Defend them too!

Potentially, 6 out of 7 Starting Pieces can be Protected by this 1 Move.

This is why I feel like this is the Best move for me!

Lets say my opponent responds with Central Cannon!

HERE IS 1ST THEORY QUESTION:

Pikafish recommends playing my Knight to File 3, but I don’t think like it.

Pikafish thinks it’s an excellent move, but I don’t understand why.

I feel like when players Attack other players.

They like to Invade with Cannons or Rooks.

Most times they Attack the Pawn Row, Cannon Row, or Back Line.

They want Targets to Attack and I feel like putting my Knight on File 3 is just asking for my Knight to be put in harms way.

I feel like my Knight is Safer for the Defensive on File 4 -> Green Circle.

No one really Attacks the Bishop Row -> No one wants to win Bishop.

——————

When you look at (Photo #4), Pikafish thinks I’m lost.

The Evaluation goes from 0.6 to -0.7.

How accurate is this Evaluation because I’m very Skeptical?

In Regular Chess, We have Engines! One is called Stockfish.

It does well most times, but most people don’t trust it in the Opening Phase of a Game.

We have Chess Theory designed by Human over Centuries of Games!

The Human Evaluation of the Opening has been better over all.

I am wondering if Pikafish is in a similar situation.

Is my move really that Bad?

HERE IS 2ND THEORY QUESTION:

I am losing and Blacks Crushing move is Knight Move to the Edge of the Board?

Who is playing this move?

What on earth is it doing their?

I have gone from Rating 300 to 500.

Not a single player has ever responded with Pikafish move.

- Most played move I see is Knight move on other side -> Green Circle

- Second Most played move is Knight to center, not edge -> Yellow Circle

- Third Most played move is Cannon up -> Blue Circle

If my opponent finds Pikafish move, Is it Game Over for me?

This is why I made this thread because this is Wild.

——————

Lets pretend my opponent plays the Opposite Knight Move (Photo #5)

I feel like when people think about playing Central Cannon Opening.

They move the Cannon + Typically follow up with Same Side Knight.

Is Black making Errors? I don’t know!

Pikafish says Black is making Errors! -> The Evalution goes from -0.7 to -0.5

It seems Normal to me, guys! -> Please Tell me if I’m missing something here?

The Position you see is the one I am getting the most!

Move 3 -> I am in conflict with Pikafish again.

Pikafish wants to move the Knight, but it seems so bad to do!

If I move the Knight, My opponent will respond by moving their Pawn on File 3 up 1.

I think the Best move is to move my Pawn on File 3 up 1 as a Preventative Measure!

What do you think?

PRETEND I MOVE PAWN UP 1 -> Look at my position -> Everything Defended!

In Regular Chess, Strong Players use to ask Weaker Players to consider Candidate Moves.

What are my Candidate Moves?

- I am thinking File 3 Pawn up 1 -> Green Circle

- I am thinking Cannon Over -> Yellow Circle

- I am thinking Rook Over to make Battery -> Blue Circle

I feel like all my moves seem better vs. Knight move, but I am wondering if that’s true.

The Pawn move defends my last pieces + is clearance move for my Knight.

If I develop Knight first, I think Black will push their pawn to hinder me.

In some ways, The pawn move is like a preventative move.

——————

Alternatively, I thought about the Cannon move.

It’s a move reminding Black that he hasn’t been focusing on his Defense.

He has Undefended Stuff in his Area as well.

——————

The Last move I thought about is Rook move.

It develops the Last piece on my Right Side.

It creates a Battery for Invading.

——————

This Set up feels like my Style of Play!

It Safe Guards my Base -> Then it gives me time to slowly start thinking of Attacking stuff in my opponents Unguarded Base.

Anyway, I have Talked long enough.

If you read this Far, Thanks for coming by.

I wish I could show you more, but I’m a Beginner! LOL

I am not at that level of memorizing/knowledge dozens of moves, BUT everyone as to start some where. I think getting my first 3 moves right is good starting step.

Ladies & Gentleman,

I believe I have done the impossible!

I have reached the High Ranks of Legendary 5 Photo #1 as a Total Beginner.

I used an OVR 116 team (In Photo #2) to do it.

I spent money buying the Star Pass which is how I managed to get my ST + CAM.

The remaining players came from events or lucky pulls.

My average opponent had an OVR 119 to 120 team.

I wanted to Share & Show that even a Little Beginner like me with less experience, less training, less ranked soccer players, & less OVR team score can still take down giants with a Solid Strategy!

My Strategy was very simple:

- Max out my Best GK to prevent as many Enemy Goals as possible.

- Max out my Best Midfielder to Control Ball Possession as much as possible.

- Max out my Best ST to score as many Goals as possible.

- Take the Free Soccer Field Space my opponent gives.

- Pass the Ball to Drain Enemy Player Stamina, to Create Holes, & to Gain Ground.

- Maximize my Substitutions.

- Be Patient with my Goal Scoring Attempts.

I feel the above strategy worked and I was able to Reach Legendary Rank 5 due to them.

A lot of people have been posting videos & talking about Relics.

I go to watch the video or read the reddit post.

Then the Youtuber or Reddit Poster puts all Rare + Epic Relics in the Food Section.

Then I sit there thinking to myself -> How on earth is that helpful?

What if a person doesn’t own any Mythic Relics or Legendary Relics?

What if a person only has Rare Relics with a few Epic Relics mixed in?

A Mythic Relic is supposed to be better vs. a Rare Relic, BUT…

A Rare Relic is better vs. No Relic!

So, I have decided to make a Rare Only Relic Tier List to help people who are new and don’t know what Rare Relics to use.

Thank you! -> If you have any questions or disagreements feel free to ask in comments.

Ladies & Gentleman,

I am here to Share with you my Beautiful Beginner Team!

A lot people are Wasting Faction War keys because they believe they can’t win in Faction Wars. They are New Players and they think to beat Faction Wars they need a Big Robust Roster filled with Legendaries & Mythic’s in order to win!

I am going to show you how I am winning and it may come as a Shock!

I only own 7 heroes out of 57 -> Picture #1

I have defeated the Stage 7 Faction War Boss + have 28 Stars -> Picture #2

I have 1 Legendary (Elva) + 0 Epics + 4 Rare + 2 Uncommon -> Picture #3

My Damage Dealer is the Uncommon named Branch Weaver!

My Current Team is:

Leader: Elva

- 1st move - Cithrel -> TM + Block Debuff Buff

- 2nd move - Elva -> Cleanse + Block Debuff Buff + Incr. SPD

- 3rd move - Tirlac -> AOE Veil

- 4th move - Glade Wulf -> Counter Attack

- 5th move - Branch Weaver -> AOE Nuker

My Highest lvl hero is lvl 50 + remaining heroes are lvl 40 -> Picture #4

I haven’t added a lot of gear because I have been seeing how far they can go on their own with out gear enhancements. I have added a few pieces to help with turn orders + I added a few gears to help with survival (Shield Set) + Crowd Control (Frost Set).

I have pictures of all the Heroes + Gear so you can see!

Elva Autumnborn Gear -> Picture #4

Glade Wulf Gear -> Picture #5

Glensage -> Picture #6

Shadowbow -> Picture #7

Branch Weaver -> Picture #8

People are Wasting Faction War Keys!

They are letting Faction Wars Keys Reset & go to Waste Instead of winning + collecting resources with Low Investment Heroes!

You can’t say that you can’t win when I am literally showing you how you can win with some heroes half naked.

I have Faith that my Beginner Brothers & Sisters can win!

I’m not asking to beat Stage 21 Boss, but Stage 7 Boss is certainly achievable.

I feel like people just don’t know!

We need community awareness to show players that they can win.

It doesn’t take a lot to beat some of the beginner levels so that they can at least get a few rewards coming in to Forge Gears!

I hope this helps & is an eye opener for people who don’t know.

Thank You - Till Next Time!
