What drew you to play your hero today?

What’s your favourite card in your deck?
Spectral Web. Really protected my buffs all day.
If you could change one thing about your deck, what would it be?
Nothing really – winning proves it’s already good!
What’s been your favourite card revealed from Wave 2?
Zelana Bloodroot – suits my deck and playstyle perfectly.

What drew you to play your hero today?
I thought it was the safest deck, building off of what Dratylis played at PAX – and lost to the mirror in the finals.
What’s your favourite card in your deck?
Root Singer. It allows you to always get back your best cards – with One with Nature it’s crazy value.
If you could change one thing about your deck, what would it be?
Upgrading the items to the ones with abilities. I never really used Swamp Creeper so I would like to swap that out.
What’s been your favourite card revealed from Wave 2?
Greedy Gemruff – the art is pretty cute, eating lightseekers cards.

If you could change one thing about your deck, what would it be?
I’d have cut the umbron thief from my side deck and replace them with Kreebal Jesters

Therapeutic Eel. It gets you to the threshold for your hero ability and combines it with massive hand advantage.
If you could change one thing about your deck, what would it be?
Finding a way to not brick with the storm order cards I play in the deck. Maybe adding another blacksmith
What was your favourite moment of today?
I got to use umbron informant and therapeutic eel to draw 10 cards in a single turn!

If you could change one thing about your deck, what would it be?
I’d put something in to help me beat Nature. But I really like my deck the way it is.
What’s been your favourite card revealed from Wave 2?

If you could change one thing about your deck, what would it be?

If you could change one thing about your deck, what would it be?
NOTHING IT WAS PERFECT
What’s been your favourite card revealed from Wave 2?
Sunhunter Tuktu. The ability is just soo good, and it’s my two favourite orders to boot!

If you could change one thing about your deck, what would it be?
I was running Firesparker for the big combos, but I didn’t face much of that, so I would change that for another magma worm or flamechained warrior.
What’s been your favourite card revealed from Wave 2?
Sunhunter Tuktu. She just seems like she is very good, superior earth is great (easily the best element in mountain), although she doesn’t have lunar, it’s a great subsitute.
What was your favourite moment of today?
Getting into the top 8 for the second time, and playing against the top seed at the event.

New Rules Update
Greetings Lightseekers!
A couple of weeks ago, we made a post detailing some of the updates happening to Lightseekers as well as highlighting a few rule changes. Since then we have continued to review the rules of the game to ensure they are easy to follow, comprehensive enough to cover any situation and offer the best game experience. Fast forward to now, we have a new, up-to-date rules document available for you.
This document will go into effect along with the release of Lightseekers: Mythical on March 20.
Lightseekers: Mythical Updates
We’ve added the new rules regarding Power (those can be found in 6.2.1 in the new document). For those who still wish to use the original rules for Power in their casual games those are also still included in the new Legacy Rules section.
In future if any rules are changed in a similar manner to the changes to Power, the original rules will be maintained in this section so that you have the choice to use them in casual games. They will not be allowed to be used in tournaments.
Referencing System
The new document also breaks down the rules more comprehensively; as a result of this there are now reference numbers throughout the document that can be used by both us and you, the community in answering questions.
Tournament Procedures Document
The keen eyed among you will notice that the new rules document calls out a companion document, referred to as the Tournament Procedures document. This document will be released in the coming weeks.
Rules Update to Moving Cards From The Hand
Along with a number of minor clarifications to make the rules clearer, there has also been a change to the rules for how moving cards from the hand is dealt with. Previously there were a couple of different ways that players could prove that they did not have cards to move with card effects; you could play on trust, or show the cards in such a way that it only revealed the information about the card that was necessary.
In line with feedback we have received from the community over the last few months; this has now been changed to requiring players to show their entire hand (See 2.8.2.3 in the document). The reasoning behind this change is to create a single, clear rule on how to handle this, that doesn’t require awkward positioning of cards in an attempt to only show relevant information.
We will continue to monitor this change over the coming months and will take action as necessary.
We are always reviewing the rules of Lightseekers to ensure they are the best they can possibly be. We appreciate any feedback our community can share with us so please, do feel free to provide any suggestions on our official forums.

Interview with the top 8
What drew you to play your hero today?
JaegerNoon: “I feel that Granite is the most unique hero in the game and offers a very different playstyle; I’ve never experienced a way to win a game with an empty deck before.”
Settlers Shazz: “I wanted to play a really flexible, take on all comers deck and I felt Dolo’s ability gives you options in that regard, and when you really need it lets you surge ahead with the game.”
EmmaL98: “After looking through all the different Storm Heroes, the extra damage for combos that Malia provides suited my multiple corner combo buffs. It was just the best hero for the job today.”
Flazork: “I wanted to try a more aggressive approach to Astral, and Cassini was the perfect fit for that.”
Kyle: “I honestly don’t know, it was the deck I played when I first started, and I just stuck with it. I really enjoy the Mountain playstyle.”
Kimmeh: “I just like the fact that you can just speed up your Action Buffs, it lets you do more in a turn, getting more healing and better value out of your Buffs.”
Darren#1: “Just being able to fast forward my Buffs, to get the extra damage off faster, or get my Hurricane Spirit to the point where I can activate its ability faster.”
Jack Andrews: “Being able to draw cards when I need to is a great ability, I love having access to more options, and doing it with my first action means I get to play a card that I draw straight away.”
What’s your favorite card in your deck?
JaegerNoon: “Emergency Systems – It got me out of some really tight situations today especially against the aggressive Storm matchups in the room today!”
Settlers Shazz: “Lava Bouncer – It ties in with my flexible game plan, lets me shut out opponents from certain card types, and stops you from dying by taking away attack options.”
EmmaL98: “Storm Wall, I love that it does damage (that gets increased by my Hero!) and it also stops my opponents from attacking.”
Flazork: “Zeppelin Scout – I just love being able to set up my turns in advance, it’s risky if something my opponent does interrupts my turns, but great when it pays off.”
Kyle: “Exteria Defender. It puts people in the position where they either need to play awkwardly around it or they just have to waste cards playing into it.”
Kimmeh: “Stumpdrift Shaman – I like the healing especially the way it gets that big boost at the end!”
Darren#1: “Flying Debris – being able to have the choice to get rid of the payment cards for new ones, or keep my good ones that I needed to use as payment is great.”
Jack Andrews: “Time Flicker – Just like with using Zuna’s ability, I love drawing more cards!”
What did you think of the new Cross-Order Hero, General Carnage? If you could have your ideal Cross-Order Hero, what Orders would it be?
JaegerNoon: “I think he’s unbelievable, I’m so excited that he’s an umbron, I only wish I could take the giant card home on the plane with me. My ideal Cross-Order Hero would have to be Tech/Storm, the two Orders I added to my Granite deck today!”
SettlersHamilton: “He’s awesome, I’m very excited to try different decks out with him and get some new experiences with playing different orders. I’d have to pick Storm/Nature; my deck could have lots of healing and burst damage.”
EmmaL98: “I really like the ability on it and it has super cool art as well (the art is my favourite part of the cards). I would have to say Storm and Dread would be my perfect mix.”
Flazork: “Really interesting, Cross-Order decks that don’t require Tantosian Blacksmiths to fish out Items will be great, and easy three Order decks here we go. I would have to match up Astral and Dread together.”
Kyle: “Looks good, really good, the only thing is it’s not really in my Orders. If I had my ideal combination for a Cross-Order Hero it would be Mountain/Nature.”
Kimmeh: “Really cool – I can’t wait to get my hands on the new set. Nature Storm would be my pick for Cross-Order Hero.”
Darren#1: “He looks quite interesting, I can’t wait to see the cross storm ones though. My Cross-Order pick would definitely have to be Storm/Mountain.”
Jack Andrews: “Looks really good, seems like a good fit for a Buff based deck with lots of the good Mechanical Buffs. I think that the two Orders that I would like to see combined on a Cross-Order Hero would be Tech/Mountain.”
What was your favorite moment of today?
JaegerNoon: “Playing in the finals was pretty amazing with Forgewall saving the day, providing just enough damage reduction to keep me in it. I guess winning the event was pretty great too!”
Settlers Shazz: “Definitely the epic final that we played, it all came down to a single card at the end, super exciting!”
EmmaL98: “All of it! It was really nice to meet up with more people that enjoy the Lightseekers game!”
Flazork: “Playing the Combo Solar Wind against my 16 health opponent, taking out their life total exactly and winning the game. The whole day was awesome though!”
Kyle: “Getting into the Top 8 cut and realising that I had made it through to Nationals. Really looking forward to getting to compete there.”
Kimmeh: “That I made the top 8 and got my invitation to Nationals!”
Darren#1: “The surprise card reveal at the start of the day, I’m so hyped for Wave 2; can’t wait to get my hands on it!”
Jack Andrews: “Getting to fire off a Time Flicker on my very first turn, and doubling my starting hand from 4 cards to 8 was great!”

Lightseekers: Mythical Card Reveals
February 12, 2018
Lightseekers: Mythical is coming out on the 20th of March and we are incredibly excited to reveal the new cards to you over the next few weeks! We’ll be showing them off on our social channels and sharing a few of them with some special guests before posting them up on our card reveal page!
Here is a list of when you can expect the new cards to be revealed and where to find them:
Discuss this on our forums.
Banned cards and wave 1 changes
With the release of Wave 2, Lightseekers: Mythical, what is happening to cards from Wave 1?
Wave 1 and Wave 2 are fully playable alongside each other; cards from Lightseekers: Mythical are there to complement Wave 1, not replace it.
However, we are going to see a few card and rule updates. These updates will come into effect on the release of Lightseekers: Mythical.
Ban List
The list of cards that are banned from competitive play has been extended:
Skyrider This card offers more powerful flexibility in deck building than we are happy with, and circumvents a lot of otherwise important choices.
Shadow Wraith It too often creates a frustrating gameplay experience.
Moon Song NEW – This card prolongs games in a way we’re not happy with.
Pollen Weaver NEW – This card has been on the watch-list for a long time. It went under the radar as a damage reduction card that was not balanced according to our standards (see Turkle Captain as a comparison; 2 damage reduction with a condition, but for first hits only).
Note that these cards are not necessarily permanently banned. As new cards are released in the future, some cards that are currently banned may become unbanned.
For a more in-depth update on the reasons for these bans scroll down to the end of this page.
Card Erratas
 |
The Heap NEW TEXT: “When one of your other Mechanical buffs [Expires], heal for 2 and [Draw] 1 card.” The change here is that the effect only triggers if a Mechanical buff [Expires], not simply leaves play. |
Phasing Out the ‘Power’ Mechanic
We are going to phase out the ‘Power’ mechanic from Wave 1. It has always been an effect we have been unsure of, and, after a lot of discussion, we have decided to remove it. There are a few reasons behind this decision:
It’s a stumbling block for all new players trying to learn the game.
It causes a lot of edge case mechanics that are hard to understand (e.g. Anti-Gravity Snail and Ritual of Awakening being affected by ‘Power’).
In order to balance around it, we are forced to design cards in some weird ways that cause further confusion.
We will not be designing any future cards that use the ‘Power’ keyword. However, because most of the current ‘Power’ cards live within the Nature Order, we don’t want to simply ban them all, as this would quite drastically shrink the pool of Nature cards, but we are instead retroactively changing what ‘Power’ means:
Starting from the release of Wave 2, ‘Power’ will only increase damage and healing done. We appreciate that this is quite a big nerf to cards such as One with Nature and Beast Master, but we want to keep it simple as we do not intend to use this mechanic going forward.
Ban List
With the release of Lightseekers Wave 2, we want to be transparent and take this opportunity to discuss the current state of the list of banned cards and our reasoning behind them.
To start, we want to be clear and open with saying we in no way enjoy banning cards. We aim to only ban cards that we feel have a negative impact on how a game plays out, not just banning a card because it is perceived to be more powerful than others.
If you see a card on the banlist that looks like it doesn’t belong, it is likely because even though it might not have made it into competitive play or everyone’s decks, we’ve been testing it internally and are being proactive in preventing it entering the competitive space and creating a negative experience. We opted for this approach, rather than introducing bans during the Wave, making it appear like a knee-jerk reaction should the card appear in play, as well as also being harder to track accurately when a card has been added to the list.
As ever, we plan on having an open and honest relationship with you, the Lightseekers community, and are happy to discuss these cards going forward if players feel like they truly don’t belong. It is also worth noting that cards in future Waves will aim to resolve issues we’ve found with some banned cards, and as a result may remove a card from the ban list in the future.

Skyrider (along with Shadow Wraith) is a card that has been on the banlist since our first major tournament at PAX East. The reasons for its banning are threefold. Firstly, it reduces the number of decisions that are made during deckbuilding; it makes it possible to not include any cards that deal damage or provide healing, and instead run all utility cards that are given the optional choice of always being damage or healing when necessary. Secondly, it reduces the number of decisions that are available during a game, as cards will always be the best choice for every situation. Thirdly, these powerful effects are on an item, which is a card type that has few ways to be interacted with so once a player has Skyrider in play, there is a high chance that it will be in play for the remainder of the game.
As with most of the cards on the banlist, there is no reason to say it will be banned forever, as each new Wave of cards comes out, all cards on the banlist will be reviewed to see if its safe for them to return to the game. |

Shadow Wraith (along with Skyrider) is a card that has been on the banlist since our first major tournament at PAX East. The primary reason that Shadow Wraith is banned is because it goes against the core gameplay of Lightseekers; that is to say, the main mechanic is to play cards, and having a card that prevents players from playing cards, any cards, goes against that. Other cards like Paralysis Bug and Subjugator stop players from playing specific categories of cards, but those cards can still be interacted with, but Shadow Wraith means that board states that can’t be interacted with can be built up in safety.
Unlike other cards on the banlist, which have a chance of returning to the game, Shadow Wraith is not the type of card that we want in decks, so will stay on the banlist indefinitely. |

Moon Song (along with Pollen Weaver) is a card that has been added to the banlist as of the release of Wave 2. This card has been banned to accommodate the time limits that are present in competitive matches of Lightseekers. Setting two players back to their starting life totals is not a broken effect in casual setting, but it does add a considerable amount of time to a game. In a format where rounds go for between 45 minutes and a 1 hour, and up to three games are played, it is not feasible to allow this card.
As with most of the cards on the banlist, there is no reason to say it will be banned forever, as each new Wave of cards comes out, all cards on the banlist will be reviewed to see if its safe for them to return to the game. |

Pollen Weaver (along with Moon Song) is a card that has been added to the banlist as of the release of Wave 2. This card originally slipped under the radar, but has since landed on our watchlist as offering too much damage reduction potential. In comparison to a card such as Turkle Captain which offers similar damage reduction but limits it to only the first hit in a turn, Pollen Weaver offers too much value on its effect.
As with most of the cards on the banlist, there is no reason to say it will be banned forever, as each new Wave of cards comes out, all cards on the banlist will be reviewed to see if its safe for them to return to the game. |
