Hello Skylords, Skyladies and other Skybeings.
We are back with yet another official PvE event since release.
We hope you will have a lot of fun with this event!
What kind of event will it be?
PvE - Slave Master - Advanced Solo or with a teammate
Slave Master on Advanced Difficulty with a twist! Follow all restrictions and requirements to finish this map as fast as possible.
For example, one of the restrictions is you are only allowed to use cards from the First Edition. See below for more information and all restrictions.
There are 5 different submission types, which differentiate between Fire, Nature, Frost, Shadow and Mixed.
Each has their own prize pool.
That's not all! There are other awards like the Quirky Defence, which is a Community Award that we will be voting for live on stream at the end of the event.
When will it start?
We will accept entries starting from 12.07.2021 00:00 CEST.
The event will run for approximately 2 and 1/2 weeks, so you have time until the end of July. To be specific: 28.07.2021 23:59 CEST.
You can send your replays through DM to me on Discord (Minashigo Hiko#1126) or through a PM to me on the forum.
How can I participate?
You just have to send in your fastest replay, including the player names and the submission type. [Note: your entry has to be a victory/in the ranking]
For example: "Hiko,Majora - Pure fire Deck"
Please note: You are allowed to send in three different replays, but not more than one per submission type (this will be counted per player, not per team).
You can find your replays here: Documents=>Battleforge=>replays
Nice, but where is the difficulty?
This event will not have a point system, but there will be some requirements/restrictions you have to fulfill to successfully participate in the event.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Restrictions:
You may only use First Edition (Twilight Edition) cards.
If you participate with a friend, one can only defend the twilight waves, while the other one can only attack (see below for more information).
The defender is only allowed to defend and attack the left side of the map.
The attacker is only allowed to attack the right side of the map.
Players are allowed to cross the line to the other side, but are restricted from attacking or using offensive spells there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements:
Destroy at least one of the patrolling Battleships on your own.
No member of the Treasure fleet can die.
Collect all 6 gold chests.
You can find the location of these chests at the "Chests" tab above the map:
https://skylords-reborn.fandom.com/wiki/Slave_Master
Both players have to use decks of the same type, which means that both of you need to fulfill the submission type or it will be counted,
as a "Mixed" entry.
For example, if Player A uses Pure Frost, Player B will also have to use Pure Frost for the run to count toward a Pure Frost run.
If Player B plays a non-frost deck, the run is considered "Mixed"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sounds fun! What's the prize pool?
There will be several prize pools: Fire, Nature, Frost, Shadow and Mixed. Submissions will be categorized in one of these groups depending on what kind of deck you play and submit (a submission without a submission type will be automatically counted as "Mixed")
Both teams will be rewarded in case of a draw.
Each submission type gets different rewards and all rewards are per player.

In conclusion
This event focuses on your speed and forces you to play the map in a special way at the same time.
To summarize the new event in simple steps:
You play on the Slave Master map in Advanced Difficulty.
Look at the Awards (keep in mind, these have the sole purpose to add complexity and are optional) and prize pools you wish to submit. Do your best to clear the map, while being as fast as possible and fulfilling all restrictions and requirements.
Once you are satisfied with your result, DM (Minashigo Hiko#1126 on Discord) or PM your best replay to me (in the forum).
You can submit up to three times, but not more than one per submission type.
Make sure to add the submission type you went for in the replay name!
Make sure to mention if you want to apply for a community award (The Quirky Defense) or one of the Bonus Awards.
Wait until the end of the contest (28.07.2021 23:59 CEST) to see if you have won some prizes!
We will announce the winners in a stream on the 31.07.2021 02.08.2021 19:00 CEST.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Drag and drop would be comfortable, obviously. But if that's too much trouble, maybe a right click on a deck could open a tooltip/menu with "Move to:" which features a list of all folders where you can click which one it should go to. You could also add another button where the "Delete", "Rename" and "Clone" buttons are with "Move" and clicking on it gives you a list of all folders where you can then pick.
Folders themselves sorted alphabetically. A way to minimize them is very important imo. A + and - on the side to open them up or close them.
If it is at all possible, could add some extra info to a deck tooltip. Like when it was last played or when it was created. The presentation of the decks themselves is also quite barebones. Instead of just a gray slab with a name, icon and deck-level it could also feature the orbs used in the deck. Obviously not automatically but picked by the player.
Quick and dirty mock-up:
You could also add the default decks you start out with into the "Beginner" folder.
I really like this idea, especially in combination with some new harder to get achivements like the ones in the "Endgame, (map)specific quests/achievements" from the "Quest & Achievement Suggestions - Megathread". The achivements don't need to give huge rewards imo and it would give some incentive to grind out some maps which I haven't played in a long time. I know i could simply create the challanges myself, but I would get way more excited if I get a achivement in the end. Especially if I could even brag whit it 😄.
I had a few spare minutes to try to envision a UI for this feature. Maybe something like this for comparing achievements with a player? Feel free to just open up paint and come up with a design 😄
