I’m so conflicted on Jarl. On one hand, as an Azalea main I’m still scarred by his predecessor, Oldhim. On the other, he looks so bad ass I want to play him. Regardless, I’m glad ice is back
A nice first look! Though Pulverize features a different (though very similar) character depicted by Federico. The most defining feature is the face plate on the helmet. Fede also has art depicting both characters together which is really cool.
my desire with Jarl, as with all guardian decks I play, is midrange - some good attacks, some mini-gaming destroy equipment when necessary, some blocking, etc.
I do not enjoy control decks but this guy is honestly tempting, and if several people in my local meta weren't already going to pick him up I would consider it. I think this mini-game setup required to make frostbites is a great choice for the ice talent moving forward. He should be really effective at keeping Aurora, Florian (because of the reliance on grasp in the late game), and possibly even Verdance (Jarl can forcibly crack her storm striders before she is ready to use them) in check. I think it's odd that he has essence of earth when nothing on his ability mentions Earth, nor does he synergize with earth's new tools from Rosetta. I do hope that we see more Armory deck Origins decks to fill out LL'd hero replacements or introduce new talents to classes (Draconic warrior or a new essence of lighting and ice ranger and/or new draconic illusionist/ninjas would be prime candidates for this treatment). Plus adding a legendary really improves the deck (however something like savage sash is a legendary power level yet a majestic rarity. Perhaps using the rarity's reputation to squeeze for more money for the deck). Overall, really hype announcement
I don’t think it’s Jarl on Buckle and Pulverize. If you go to federico Musetti’s page you’ll see a playmat with both Mangle and Pulverize on it fighting side-by-side, implying that’s a different char. Also, Jarl seems to be using a blue cape, not red
As a Vynn main, it feels bad that my runegates will cost no matter the reduction now, in addition to the pseudo IP penalty I don't think we can play into him at all. Our head pieces break on use, creepers are fragile, and we can't really block out any dominate buckle turns :l Such a polarising matchup for us, any most runeblade in general.
Absolutely loved how they revealed him! Having it be couched in a question and then throwing to the trailer was such a hype moment. :) Also love the utilization of empty equipment slots, it just feels incredibly thematic with him breaking away your armor and then you succumbing to the cold. The $60 price point is pretty steep, but I can certainly understand why they would go for that if they are printing a legendary and two and a half times the majestics with double the unique card designs. At that price point I'll have to skip on the product but it does seem very cool. :)
Oaken Old price has already started to spike as of yesterday and I imagine it might climb even higher. Maybe might be worth picking up those Tales of Aria that are on discount.
I plan to build Jarl using the cards I own. I don't have a bunch because I just started playing, but I did pick up a relatively inexpensive box of Tales of Aria not that long ago and so have a number of those foundational cards to work with.
I don't know if that's really supposed to be him on Pulverize, on Mangle he clearly hasthe same visor and weapon and is even quoted, not the case on Pulverize
As a runeblade main, its weird to be excited for the first time about another class Jarl is so freaking cool, I might get him if the Armory deck is good enough by itself
Not excited to sit across from ice again. I already made it through the last winter. I hope for this one they actually corrected frostbite. It was not fun to be handed 5 frostbites and not getting to play the game.
What a great hero! Love the possibilities with having access to both the new earth cards and the ice. Think Jarl will be a big contender for sure. -Connor
Hey I called it ! Felt it had to be Oldhim, it's even better ! I am not too sure about the decompose package though, the hero seems really ice oriented, I don't think he'll be able to decomppse reliably when pure earth heroes can sometimes struggle a bit already. Anyway, He's everything I wanted and super flavorful, i'll instant buy the deck !
So far, for every majestic playset seen in Amory decks, one has been RF, no? Meaning if we had Mangle reprinted we would not see a RF one. Perhaps we break this trend since there's 23 majestic card in this deck? Hype.
I’d love to see more effects in the future that utilize empty Equipment slots. Perhaps they can make a brute who’s whole goal is to get naked, as they can only make Might/Agility tokens in empty equipment slots
You had the same thought as me it would be sick to utilize equipment slots in different ways , like a assassin that can put daggers in his cloak from inventory when they lose their other slots lol
Seems like the earth talent is only added to make potential use of an existing card pool and to push things like isenloft and oaken old. I agree, he should have been just essence of ice elemental guardian.
There's no way his weapon is 1 Handed. The pictures of him also need have a shield. And let's be real just looking at his potential line up with just 2 of the new cards, it would be just unfair to give him shield access with an OP weapon. Earth will cover the shield aspect. However that being said I could see some people rolling into the one handers like Titans to run Stalagmite for extra Icing abilities. Long story longer, welcome back to hell and up them pitch values +1 ladies and gentlemen. Buckle up it's about to get hairy at the tables. I LOVE FAB!!!
I believe that character is pronounced as a "th" sound as in "breathe" or "father". Either way, very neat character with an interesting disruptive ability.
It looks Amazing. That being said, i m really afraid by the scalping around this product. Not fan neither of the price for an "entry" product. Definitely this product targets people already in the game, or old players for a return. I doubt this will bring new players. Sadly.
@@DMArmada oh i know that, but of course im interested in new product and this might be my jump to CC, just gotta wait on more info on the cards inside to see if its a deck ill have fun with. On yugioh we have bs price increases that dont improve the products so even tho i know fab isn't like that i cant help but be skeptical on where i might be spending 60 euro
For thousands of years fab players have asked the question "Why isn't oaken old an Oldhim specialization?". LSS has finally given us the answer. I'm gonna laugh if it turns out Jarl's weapon is two-handed and is so good that Stalagmite spikes down again.
@@supermarioblacktiger I honestly expect the weapon to be a 2H with something like piercing. But stalagmite and titan’s will almost definitely be ran in the inventory for matches where you want to fatigue more
I’m so conflicted on Jarl. On one hand, as an Azalea main I’m still scarred by his predecessor, Oldhim. On the other, he looks so bad ass I want to play him. Regardless, I’m glad ice is back
I'm willing to believe that since his weapon is going to be his signature that it's going to give piercing if you pitch a Earth card
A nice first look! Though Pulverize features a different (though very similar) character depicted by Federico. The most defining feature is the face plate on the helmet. Fede also has art depicting both characters together which is really cool.
I agree and I also feel like his weapon looks a bit different but kind of hard to tell seeing where it's set.

I think winters wail was also banned in CC, i remember they were on titans fist toward the end of his reign because of it

Damn, i called that this guy was in the pipeline back around everfest.
I always hoped they print him when looking at Mangle and Pulverize. ^^
I don't know if that's really supposed to be him on Pulverize, on Mangle he clearly hasthe same visor and weapon and is even quoted, not the case on Pulverize
I'm an MTG competitive expat that gravitated toward control decks, and was immediately drawn to Ice. Jarl was like tailor built for me. I'm so excited
I got so excited when I saw legend studio announce this! Jarl's deck is litterally a combination between my Bravo, Oldhim, and Terra decks.
I’ve been sitting on a tectonic plating card since its release and never built a guardian but I think now’s my time lol yarl is goated
I love how every new hero they introduce interest and excites me in some way.
That new "Channel Mount Isen" looks sick too!
I am so excited for Jarl, I have missed Ice.
As a returning player I am very excited to get my hands on this one!
Loving this hero so far
As a runeblade main, its weird to be excited for the first time about another class
Jarl is so freaking cool, I might get him if the Armory deck is good enough by itself
Yooooo THIS IS SOOOO GOOOD.

Pay your taxes.
@@Paradoxed25 can't pay your taxes if you don't have a hand, which ice does far to often.

Well, I guess I'm gonna have to rename my Maxx Nitro deck. I'm thinking "Sad Maxx".
So far, for every majestic playset seen in Amory decks, one has been RF, no? Meaning if we had Mangle reprinted we would not see a RF one. Perhaps we break this trend since there's 23 majestic card in this deck? Hype.
Playing him in calling event in Malaysia
Is a legendary really a legendary if it come in every deck? i never understood rarity on precon decks.
A little salty he gets two elements but I can't use blossoming spell blade in Florian.
I’d love to see more effects in the future that utilize empty Equipment slots. Perhaps they can make a brute who’s whole goal is to get naked, as they can only make Might/Agility tokens in empty equipment slots

Not only nerfing ninja but making ice return... so happy to see lss foresight
Anyways, hope guardian players enjoy
I just wished he cared about earth at all. So weird his hero text is ice only. Just make him an ice guardian!
Seems like the earth talent is only added to make potential use of an existing card pool and to push things like isenloft and oaken old.

Why Jarl doesn't have access to Crown of Seeds? Isn't the Essence of Earth and Ice gives you access to it?
Crown is banned in CC. He can play it in living legend
@@HeavensMandate8040 oh! thank you for answering!
3 more 1 card fuse targets for oaken old🔥🔥🔥
Sigh, another Guardian, more Ice. I guess LSS doesn't care about Warrior
It looks Amazing. That being said, i m really afraid by the scalping around this product. Not fan neither of the price for an "entry" product. Definitely this product targets people already in the game, or old players for a return.
I doubt this will bring new players. Sadly.
Looks interesting but i hope its worth the price increase, new player here and it can be a bit much so ill wait till we know more of the cards inside
@@tefa8927 the nice thing is that if you aren't a fan of the hero then you can just pick up one of the other Armory decks!

Would not be surprised if the L in the deck was a stalagmite reprint
