Card Tier List – New “App” Version

Leave a reply

There is a new version of the Megahaulin Card Tier “App”. The old URL no longer works.

The new APP can be accessed HERE.  All of the Megahaulin blog pages that linked to the app have been updated with the new URL.

If you didn’t know there was an “app”, now you do! If you use the Megahaulin Card Tier List, we had created a quick access “app” you can save to your phone/tablet (or access via a browser on your computer).  Here are a few screenshots.

To install on your phone, simply click this link on your phone, which will open it in your phone’s browser. A prompt should appear for you to Install the app, click “Install” and it will add the icon tot he home screen. If “Install” prompt does not appear, open your browser settings and choose the “Add to Home screen” option.

Why do I keep putting “app” in quotes? Because it’s not actually an “app”; you can’t find it in the app store. But it’s designed for phones.  You can save it to your home screen so it opens on your phone like an app.

Suggestions for features for the “app”?  Let us know in the comments below.

NOTE: this “app” is hosted by Glide, which has some limitations so not all your suggestions may be possible. If you’re aware of a better (and free) place to host this info, let us know!

Stay tuned for an updated list with High Alert Invasion and First Strike!

An Analytical Approach to Valuing Cards – Part 2 of n (Bases!)

Leave a reply

Sorry to have kept you waiting so long for part 2 of this series, but I figured I’d be on the same publishing schedule as the Megahaulin podcasts 😊

If you haven’t read part 1 of this series (or if you don’t remember what all it said), you should start with that article.  Trust me, it’s really good.

This article uses the same methodology as part 1, with the difference being that bases are now included in the dataset for a more wholistic view of the Start Realms universe.

An Analytical Approach to Valuing Cards – Part 1 of n

3 Replies

Over the last month or two or three, I’ve been inspired to grow my skills with the analysis program R.  As I thought through what kind of project/dataset I could use to hone those skills, I had 2 options: work related stuff or Star Realms related stuff.  You know how that went:

The specific analytical toolset I had used elsewhere and wanted to learn in R is a multiple regression analysis.   And to get this party started, the question I’m trying to explore is: how can we objectively quantify the value of cards?

Editor’s Note: This is Part 6 of our Command Deck Strategies Series.  We also recommend:

Introduction
Finally, the long-awaited Valken article is here!

Why did it take so long? To answer that, let’s check in with the notes from the other Commanders’ articles on their Valken matchup:

From Nandi: “…, this matchup should go your way”
From Walsh: “Walsh naturally preys on…”
From Newburg: “We open hitting harder, although we may be outgained in authority…”
From Jochum: “This is a good matchup for Jochum.”
From McCready: “This matchup is really good for you.”
From Le: “Another good matchup for you, …”

Ah. I see.

Stellar Link? More like Stellar Not!

Leave a reply

by Rick DeMille (aka Darklighter)

Ok, Stellar Link isn’t that bad, except when it is. I have found Stellar Link to be the only Tech card that, when used, might turn on you. My therapist said I should write about it, so here I am.

I previously published the article, “Tech Support“, describing my initial thoughts about the Tech expansion and each of the individual Tech cards. I had mostly nice things to say about Stellar Link. Then Stellar Link turns around and stabs me in the back. I guess 2 Trade isn’t enough to secure its loyalty and affection…I digress.
