Shadespire journey continued (Spring Clean)

Wanted to add one last post to say once I completed the painting project it has sparked a fresh interest in the game.
I got to play in a 4 player match last night and it was a ton of fun. True to form I didn’t win, but I really enjoyed it and look forward to playing again.

I had a concern that maybe the new magic wielding factions from Nightvault would stamp all over the Shadespire war bands with their new tricks and toys, but I think the balance is still solid.

My other concern was that deck building power creep would ruin the fun side; where those with all the best cards from multiple expansions would crush other warbands and make it all feel too meta heavy and competitive.
I think there is a risk of that still but as long as I play with friends rather than strangers at tournaments I don’t think that is going to effect my enjoyment.
With some luck and clever choices on your part I still think most of the war bands can give a good account of themselves.
I was playing against unpainted minis last night, but it was still fun to look at my painted minis as I pushed them around. My friends will get around to painting them and playing the game regularly as time goes on because they are our sort of people.

Thanks for coming on this journey with me if you have read and followed my project thus far. I appreciate the likes and time you have shared. ?
