JoshTheStampede posted:I double sleeved some Netrunner just because for whatever reason they were a little loose in the sleeves I had and it made it hard to shuffle. But besides that yeah it's a pain. I just sort by set -> number. CardgameDB decklists print out with the chapter pack information for each card, so i just make dividers for each pack by name and then its not hard to find an individual card in that chapter pack. I order it by number because that way it makes it easy to see if i'm missing something [number went from 45 to 47? I guess i have 46 in decks]. The amount of work it would take to do any other kind of organizing for this seems like it's creating a tedious minigame out of storage. Not for me.

There's a new Dark Eldar warlord for Conquest in the pipe. Mechanics aside, is she the first warlord who comes directly from the 40K RPG canon rather than from standard GW canon (or being made up)? I recall that she shows up in The Soul Reaver (a DE-themed adventure supplement for Rogue Trader) and nowhere else.

That looks like such a dull/bad ability, but that's a pretty solid suite of signature cards. At least it's no Urien. Mind War looks pimpass in an Eldorath deck, though, and that Neophyte Apprentice can be really dangerous.

The ability is kind of bland here, but Cato also has a pretty bland ability and has performed very well, so I'll reserve judgement as to the power level here. I think if we see 2-3 more strong Kabalite or Raider cards (ideally with command), we may well be onto something here.

I think she's overall pretty meh. Her ability is very subpar with the current pool of cards since there aren't enough great Kabalite or Raider cards at the moment. The way her ability works also means the signature squad is the only way currently to squeeze out an additional 1c of savings, yet there aren't enough Kabalite/Raiders to even trigger the ability consistently enough during deploy that it will probably end up mattering little. Her signature support is terrible since using it likely precludes you from playing Sslyth Mercenary and is generally super inefficient (first activation puts you 3c down). Her attachment is okay, but suffers excessively / rewards your opponent for using Shields. Her only saving grace is the 2/7 stat line which is great, though it remains to be seen what her flip side is. I think what she lacks is more Ambush Raiders/Kabalites, preferably a cheap one with a Reaction that increases ATK or something to force damage through on her attachment. That alone would make her good.

I dunno, that support looks really strong to me. Paying 1 for a deployment stall is frequently worth it (as we see with Shadowsun repeatedly moving her drone during deployment when heavy on resources), and paying 2 for a stall and a card is quite good, especially when your ability and focus means you're going to be pretty rich. I definitely do think we need to see more Kabalite or Raider cards for her to really shine, but even as it stands there's a lot of efficiency there.

Currently the choices for Kabalite or Raider are: Hellion Gang, Kabalite Halfborn, Kabalite Strike Force, Sybarite Marksman. This is not a particularly deep pool currently, not to mention the fact that they also have to be played on Red planets to trigger the bonus. Like, even if Kith only triggered Khymeras on Red planets, I think I'd still go for that ability than this one, at least with the current pool. I really think that she needs an extra ability or something, even if it's just something as simple as giving +1 ATK to Raiders and Kabalites at her planet. Interestingly, she's one of the few Warlords to have no incentive to ever go to a planet where a big fight is going down, which is sorta useful to snipe out Ally units and whatnot. Tyranids are likewise really good at this (potentially doubly so!), and I think it's part of what makes them way fun for me.

I've posted another article over at CardGameDB - 40k Conquest Fundamentals: Deckbuilding. As for Morn, I think she definitely needs some more Kabalites or Raiders in the pool (and maybe some more synergy cards too), but I suspect that with a little more support she could wind up being very powerful. The resource advantage coupled with the ability to easily stay out of fights could add up to a big economic lead over the course of a game. I don't think she's as good as Kith right now, but we'll see whether any future Kabalite stuff shifts that balance.

Do any of the LCGs have something like Jinteki.net for Netrunner? I'm on a Mac so Octgn doesn't work very well. I'm thinking about picking up another LCG, and I'd love one I can test decks online with.

It also uses a lot of extra pages if you are using a whole page for 2 agendas or whatever. Assuming you buy everything it will always be filling up. Some pages have 1 card, some have 9, it averages out to be just fine. I have all Netrunner in 4x 1" binders. I think I can get through Mumbad before making a choice for another binder. Also, what is "space between factions?". Once you need to reorganize everything is ready to go into a new binder. I don't mind every major Faction eventually having a binder. I made sure to buy 7 in the same style, but different colors

It's still expensive and time consuming (in deck building and sorting). For $3 I have a 1600 card long box and set of dividers for the various factions and card types. Bonus: the cards can all be sleeved in these boxes and that still comes out cheaper than buying binders.

Edit: 100x 9 pocket Ultra Pro is 15 bucks, you need two at this point probably. That's 30 bucks. Binder is like 2 dollars. Sleeving active decks is a pain, sure, but I can't see cost being an issue with binders. djfooboo fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Dec 10, 2015 |

I had all my Netrunner sleeved in UltraPro transparent sleeves and in a shoebox up until the fourth or fifth pack of the SanSan cycle and there's no way that was cheaper than a binder, probably even cheaper to have two Pro-binders at that rate. I've since repurposed the sleeves for LOTR adventure decks, but haven't gotten a binder yet for Netrunner. There's a lot more room in the shoebox now.

Get yourself a nice padded school type binder, that zips up so the pages don't sag, that's got a big 3" ring on it. Some people prefer the D Ring, I don't really have a preference but you're spending about the same amount + the cost of the pages which are like 100 pages for $10 or whatever. in short: Don't buy this Buy THIS! And these Up until very recently I had all my Star Wars cards in there until it finally overloaded in the middle of the last cycle so it was holding 2 Cores, 4 Deluxe, and 15 packs. Because it's Star Wars the cards were in pockets of 4(2 playsets of 2 cards, back to back). You can do the math on how many cards that is, but it was quite a lot.

Took the plunge and ordered Game of Thrones 2.0 + the first pack. Is there a list that breaks down the factions and archetypes anywhere? Browsed some of Cardgamedb but didn't really find anything.tijag posted:Considering the storage boxes cost like $4 bucks, that's pretty pricey. I've always preferred Binders for my cards. In the Magic days, I used storage boxes for bulk cards, and always regretted it when a new combo came out with a previously terrible card. Given the much more limited size of the LCGs, I'm going Binders.

One other cool thing about binders, particularly for LCGs with fixed card distribution, is that you can notice really quickly if a card is missing when packing up.

Do you guys take your entire collection to wherever you're playing? I usually just take the decks I'm using. Also, for sleeving cards in the cardboard storage, penny sleeves are perfectly fine. You don't have to spend the money on nice-rear end sleeves for stuff that's in a box. It takes a little more time to sleeve up your deck, I guess, but are you doing that every day?

I switch to cheap boxes once I'm more or less through playing a game regularly. Since I'm out of Netrunner that's gotten boxed, as has Conquest now. When I would host tournaments I'd often take my binder out, as a TO it was fairly common with Netrunner that someone would want to borrow a SanSan or a Desperado. Generally I don't take my whole binder out, however the binders I linked do come with a carry strap which makes them that much easier to carry, and when I've got a tripod, camera, decks, 8 playmats, and assorted prizes and deck boxes having another something I don't need to carry with hands is quite helpful.

I recommend looking around back to school time when those type of sales are happening. I'm really only recommending those over the padded ultrapro binders that you might see for sale at your local card store, which I linked above those. Those things are the real rip off, regardless of which brand you use.

Is there any market for selling singles from the LOTR core set? I imagine no one needs the heroes or the cards you get 3 of, but like Beorn and that spy-Elf maybe? This poo poo is expensive, so if I can put a few quid towards the next exp. pack selling stuff I won't use that would be cool.

Is the LOTRO card game good? I'm kind if intrigued by the idea of a cooperative LCG (you can play it solo if necessary, right?). If the opposition comes from a deck of cards, is there much replay value once you've beaten the missions in a given set? Basically should I give FFG even more money so I can buy even more boxes of cardboard?

I think it's pretty good but I never play the thing, I just can't do the solo thing and prefer competitive LCGs with friends. If you have a good friend that you game with all the time, or don't mind playing solo yourself I think there's a lot of value there. Some of the scenarios seem like you have to build decks in a certain way to beat them, in terms of spheres and combinations of heroes, so I think the challenge is more in the tuning that leads to beating a scenario and I don't know if you'd have as much fun replaying it, but I think some people certainly might. Sounds like an exercise in frustration given how difficult the game already is. Some scenarios are just soul crushingly hard.
