Magic Chess: GoGoMagic Chess: GoGo: ten comps with board positions, and a Team Builder
The Magic Chess: GoGo section now has ranked comps that show where every hero stands on the board, a Team Builder that counts your synergies as you place heroes, and a commander tier list.
Comps, with the board
A list of hero names doesn't tell you how to play a comp. Where the heroes stand decides most fights, so every comp on the Comps & Tiers page now comes with its board: front row marked, carries in the corners where they belong, and each hero linked to its own page.
There are ten comps to start. The one we'd climb with is Marksman/Dauntless: open on Scavenger to build gold, bank it for interest, then land ranged damage behind a Dauntless front. Bruiser frontline is the safer board if you keep losing early rounds, since it wins by outlasting. Mage + Stargazer has the highest ceiling of the ten, because Stargazer's mana regen lets one well-fed caster use its ultimate almost without pause.
- Marksman/Dauntless: the default climb
- Bruiser frontline: durable and forgiving
- Mage + Stargazer: one caster carries the board
- Dragoncaller Burst: lowers enemy max HP so fights end fast
- SPECTRE to Alpha: two-star each SPECTRE hero to unlock the next, up to the 7-Gold Alpha
The Team Builder
The Team Builder is the same board, empty. Pick heroes from the roster, filtered by synergy or cost, and drop them on tiles. The synergy tally updates with each hero you place, so you can see whether swapping one unit turns a synergy on or off before you spend gold on it in a match.
Your board is saved in the page address. Copy the link and whoever opens it sees the same layout.
Commanders
Commanders have their own tier list. We rank the ones we can back with a reason and leave the rest marked as unranked, which is more useful than a guess.
