The new meta is starting to settle, and it’s been great to watch it evolve.

I’m especially happy to see Impulse Gundam showing up and performing better than I initially expected. It’s also interesting to note that the Corsica Base restriction didn’t remove the card from play. That said, BP Rush decks remain as efficient as ever.

MSA Royal Battle Tournament - 100+ Pilots Wanted

We’re kicking off the first Royal Battle for Steel Requiem .2.

This is a call for a minimum of 100 pilots/registrations - once we hit that mark, the tournament will be scheduled for the following Saturday night (7:50 PM ET / 11:50 PM UTC).

It will be a larger scale showdown where you can earn Ranked Points, Supporter Access and fight for free entry to the next Eagle’s Online Locals. Secure your spot early and be ready.

Today’s Update

A few adjustments went live today:

• Some card effects were refined to better match the official rules

• Offensive nicknames are now blocked (attempts will be flagged)

• You can now view the exiled cards pile from the discard modal (when applicable)

That’s it for now. Happy Easter! Cheers, Doug!

This Friday (27th), ST09 Destiny Ignition will be officially released in the morning. It’s expected to shake the meta a bit… but the real impact will likely come later that same day, with Baidai's announcement of cards limitation/bans list.

I still don’t know exactly how those rules will look, but Im planing to implement them for ranked as fast as possible once they are revealed. Also, since the goal of MSA is to help players train for real-life tournaments, I’m considering applying these limitations to all modes, including Casual and New Cards Preview. What you think? Comment below or join the conversation on our Discord.

Site Update

In today's update I fixed a couple of bugs on recent released cards (including Giant Killing not working on Action steps and Awakened Potential reseting battle to the block step).

Right now, Im working on username restrictions to prevent offensive names and adding a spectator section to view ongoing tournament matches.

Tournaments

Speaking of tournaments… I’m planning to host another one next week and I'll open a poll on our Discord for what community things is the best day (I'll vote for Wednesday!).

I'll post more info soon, especially after we understand how Bandai will handle the ban/limitation list.

Thanks for playing, supporting, and helping grow this game we love so much!

Thats it for now. Cheers, Doug!
