The pace and size of Axie Origins "leeks" has been much faster and bigger than I think any of us expected. Not only do we have a ton of information about the gameplay and the way Origin will differ from Axie Infinity, now we are getting tons of "spoilers" about the base set of cards for the game.
Tail Cards Revealed
Sky Mavis went ahead and revealed ALL of the tail cards for Axie Origin. With this huge leek we now know 1/6th of all the cards that will be in the game when it launches at the end of March.
You can see the full list of cards at the Sky Mavis substack.
My Favorite New Cards
I go over all of the new cards in the video, but before that, let me share a few of the most intriguing new cards right here for a Hive-exclusive deep dive into the new content.
Here's my top 5 tail cards that got me hyped while going through the new leeks.
NIMO!!
This is crazy -- draw a card, gain an energy, and BANISH all for zero energy.
Banish is a new key word - I'm assuming that it means after you play nimo, it will not go to the graveyard and be reshuffled into the deck from there, instead it's banished (i.e. exiled, removed from game) and no longer returns to the deck.
For zero energy in basically any card game it is insane value to draw a card and gain an energy. I am guessing that Nimo will be super strong in the first days of Axie Origin.
Hot Butt
Shuffling any kind of detrimental cards into my opponent's deck gets me very excited. I love to put my opponents on tilt with the most annoying mechanics possible so this looks right up my alley. Happy to say I already have a few hot butt Axies in my current collection, so I'll be ready to burn you guys on day one of Origin.
Nut Cracker
We've all been curious about how the nut cracker cards will transition into Axie Origin. Looks like it'll be some kind of stacking attack buff that, if I am reading it correctly, will make these cards stronger as the match goes on? Very interesting...
Yam
AOE confirmed -- this is a new mechanic for Axie Origin! Applying two poison to your opponent's entire team sounds strong as hell, and makes me wonder how the poison mechanics will work in Origin. Will it be the same as in Axie Infinity, or something new?
Granmas Fan
More AOE, and this time with the new key word Vulnerable. I wonder if it'll be similar to Slay The Spire's "vulnerable" debuff which increases damage taken by 50%.
Reviewing ALL The New Cards
In the video we go much deeper, reviewing every single card from the new leeked set.
