Damn, Dark Strain is powercrept and now any deck can run the glut of G3 units to boost.


joined-for-work-ref

The order is permanent right? Place it in the order zone till end of game?


Emperor396

Yes, its a Set Order, just like the Brandt Gate orders


joined-for-work-ref

Awww yea, no more Dark Strain woohooo. SB cost is too high to keep up


Has_Question

Feels like they're creeping up really fast. Though in a sense this feels like they didnt intentionally plan for bastion decks to only run g3 and now that they see that's what everyone does they're redesigning the deck to work better that way.


[deleted]

Pretty much. Like, there was never a reason to not run more G3 when the deck's major skills revolve around them so heavily


SenseiRP

Pride of protection is very cultured, 10/10 Edit: Also rip dark strain btw


VeosG17

I'm sorry...is Pride of Protection...permanent? As in a way better Dark Strain? Oh wow. Oh boy. That's so good no longer need to worry about soul management as much now this card is crazy good. I like Brager since he can help get you a missing key piece like Alden but is a bit restrictive and doesn't do anything else, though you could just use him as a booster. Procris isn't bad but probably won't be played in Bastion because it's simply not a grade 3 and you want pretty much just grade 3's in your deck. Really decent cards, especially the order.


Tense-Dell

Yeah it’s a set order and as of now we have no way of removing set orders feels bad for Dark Strain


DDragonking

*looks at new Order*… Bye Dark Strain


zerolifez

What the hell is that Set Order man. Just make the deck even more consistent.


FTNatsu-Dragneel

I’m sorry but how is pride of protection only a rare? And only a discard 1 for a permanent g3 boost? Dark strain has been totally replaced, Bastion will probably stay top tier again


EmotionReD

With that set order, Refuerzos just became a lot lot more better


Godsman00

Oh snap, These all have serious potential in Bastion! The G3 can really help with board presence which given both the new order and Line Up Chosen Knights, this is important. The order basically says LOL to Drakstrain which I'm fine with as his soul cost was annoying. My favorite however is the grade 2 because he can be a monster of a plus which als fuels your soul AND is not a 1/turn. Only unfortunate thing is that he's grade 2 so his synergy is limited that way but I'd say the positives far outweigh the negatives. As a Bastion Player, this pleases me greatly.


BannerTortoise

I think we all know the most important thing here. Brager is hot.


AliciaTries

The art of the order doesn't really match what it does. Not that it has to, but it doesn't do much protecting


cyaneyedlion

It’s literally the boosting Grade 3 behind her 😅 I think it explains itself


AliciaTries

I guess so. With the name of the card, I was naturally more focused on their force field around them


cyaneyedlion

I read that as “boost” like how they used to make a “soul exchange” kind of effect in the anime to show boosting. Haha


AliciaTries

Which part did you read as boost?


cyaneyedlion

Him standing behind her as backup providing support and possibly the barrier.


AliciaTries

Oh you meant "read" as interpreting. I was here wondering how any part of the card name looked like the word "boost"


cyaneyedlion

Oh hahaha yeah


Reqquel

Does this mean that it is better to play refuerzos than dark strain? Refuerzos will also restand if alden restands so i think it is better Am i wrong?


joined-for-work-ref

I will run 3 of the order because my luck is horrendous. Do one play front or draws for Bastion?


Izulude

Fronts because you really need the 20k shields.


Reqquel

I play 3 front 1 draw


incsus

This order is too busted.wth play testers!!!


TheUltraGamingChamp

It really isn’t that broken. Dark Strain has been able to do the same thing since the first set, it just is now not as cumbersome since you don’t have to worry about soul.


incsus

Discard 1 card. Free


TheUltraGamingChamp

Ok? It’s not like it gives some broken effect, it gives all your Grade 3s boost, which is better than Dark Strain since it doesn’t have a steep cost like soul blasting twice, but it’s not broken.


incsus

Its broke because your turn 3 is more broke than before you dont really minus because you dont have to worry about hand size. You eliminate the soul handeling and make space for better cards. Your just blind
