Welcome to our preview of the Capture the Flag event for Heroic Magic Duel. Here you'll find basic information on the decks created for this event, as well as our tips and thoughts on which cards and spells are most effective for using them.
Capture the Flag is a PvP event in which you and your opponent will fight for control of the flags. Both sides have 3 flags, one in each lane, and whoever is the first to capture the 2 flags wins. In this case, once the minions reach the flag, they will be brought back to your base, but they will also move at a reduced speed. It is therefore necessary to protect them.
Capture The Flag Event – Composition de base du deck
This event favors fast and cheap cards as it is possible to complete the match much faster than in the arena. With that in mind, I would suggest having at least 5-6 which cost 2-3 mana and the rest of the deck should be filled with 4-6 mana cards. It seems like having more expensive cards could do more harm than good in this event. So it's probably a good idea to leave Fire Witch, Abomination, and other expensive cards behind.
Additionally, very slow cards (like the treant) and defensive / slow cards like imperial fire are suboptimal choices, as the purpose of the event is to capture the flag quickly and bring it back to your side.
Map tips for the Capture The Flag event
Some minions who were underutilized (and malnourished) in the arena can be extremely helpful in this event. If you would like to learn more about minion cards, you can click here to view our complete guide to minion cards.
Charger
The feeder was and remains one of the most underpowered cards. However, I think he is absolutely the best minion for this event. Why is it so? All minions will have their movement speed reduced while carrying the flag, except the Charger. This basically means he can charge forward, grab the flag, and come back to your side. Once this happens, it can only be stopped with spells, with no unit being able to catch it.
Fearless leader
He can increase the speed of your flag bearer, allowing him to quickly reach your side.
Water elemental
The element of water, with its special ability, can be used to repel enemies and protect your wearer.
Executioner
The Executioner can remove and knock out the enemy flag bearer and all other minions (from a distance), so it is very effective in preventing the opponent from capturing your flag.
Colossus crystal
It can be used to "repair" damage and knock back enemies, protecting your standard bearer from their own body.
Spelling tips for capturing the flag event
V
Vortex, with its relatively short recharge speed, has just become the most powerful spell in Magic Duel, clearing the way of all minions, regardless of their strength. So how do you do that? Well, it is very simple. When using Vortex, target the area at the very edge of the screen to lure enemies behind your flags. In that case, all the minions die once they get to the end of the trail, so… Yeah, you're going to clear the trail without causing any direct damage… Nice!
Statue
The statue can be used to block the way, making it a great offensive and defensive tool. It can be used to protect your operator or prevent the opposing player from capturing your flag.
