Grim posted:Yes but you can trade equipment - I'm just trying to tally up what I can expect for the silly amount of money I have pledged, how common will these things be once the rewards start coming in might be useful to know Well, anyone who has those exclusive kickstarter cards also have the equipment for them, so others will have no use for it unless the cards get sold as well.

boho posted:Someone tell me which tier to buy, ideally using things like science and math. Would one of the $250 flavors only be worth it if I played draft every single week? You should buy in at the $10,000 dollar Producer level. It'll get you 4 of every card and all equipment forever, and you can sell it all for mad eBucks. Alternatively, Dungeon Crawler is going fast, and is the $250 tier that will get you the most value over time currently available. The extra loot drops will be salable, and you can use them to get more boosters and draft/tournament entries.

BenRGamer posted:Also: Someone posted in the comments section. Anyone who gets an award that's above the limited amount, e.g. those tiers with a negative availability, the people in the 'negative' slots won't get their reward. That's gonna be... interesting. That seems like something that could easily be dealt with on an individual basis though, assuming people aren't sitting around with 500/1000 dollar pledges with no reward hoping to trick CZE into giving them a reward they didn't have a slot for, which seems like a really stupid idea. There are currently only 2 Grand Kings and 1 Dragon Lord in that position, so I imagine they'd just give them the reward anyway.

I think the problem with larger games is that with a paper TCG, you can shortcut some irrelevant or repetitive steps, such as tapping and untapping things repeatedly for some sort of bonus. In a paper game, you can just say "I do this 50 times.", but that kind of thing is difficult in a digital game, which could make large games something of a drag at times.

opaopa13 posted:On the other hand, yeah, it would be a more pure game to draft solely for the draft and not for trading / deck-building later. Oh well. For those that don't know, phantom drafting is a draft where you don't get to keep the cards you used at the end, and thus don't have to provide or cover the cost for the packs used in the draft, just the entry fee.

I played a little bit of it, and really didn't enjoy it. The games tended to be very drawn out for a couple reasons. One, the lane based combat system makes it easier to force troops to fight other troops. Two, each player constantly gains an additional resource point each turn for free, and can then, once per turn, either raise one of their 3 threshold values to play better cards, or, more often as the game drags on, spend a piddling one resource point to draw an extra card. So you can draw a ton of cards easily, and not too long in the game, will probably have the resources to play out your entire hand. I found what tended to happen was that one player would get an advantage, but would have a lot of trouble actually finishing the other player off, because they can just nearly free card draw their way into a bunch of chump blockers, which doesn't actually get them back in the game so much as just waste a bunch of time. There's still a "summoning sickness" effect where their troops can't attack immediately, so they always get smacked half dead before they can do anything. There's a retaliation damage mechanic, but half the troops in the game ignore it, and it doesn't even get applied if the defending troop dies. So yeah, some stuff in it just rubbed me the wrong way. Mostly, 1 resource card draw as a base ability given to every hero seemed to turn out pretty poorly.

From an official comment on the Kickstarter update, it seems there won't be a Mac version of the Alpha client available, at least at the beginning. Doesn't affect me, but could certainly interfere with some peoples' plans. Kind of unfortunate, since the very first lines of the Kickstarter call it a PC and Mac game.

I think Shin'hare decks just got a lot more interesting. If you hold onto this guy for a bit, he's sure to cause some pain with your spare battle hoppers before he gets murdered. Even better if you have a free sac outlet to level him up.

Zonekeeper posted:Destruction sends him to the grave, right? Wouldn't that would actually speed up his effect? This may actually apply to the mill strategy as well, but if this was a Magic card, he would go to YOUR graveyard, and then destroy you. It's impossible to say how this kind of card will interact with graveyards at this point.

Yeah, turn 2 would be the earliest this could pop out. If you draw it turn 1, you won't have the threshold for it. E: As for decks to make in alpha. I really want to try a more late game mono-red with Cerebral Fulmination, dwarves, and artifacts. Also something where I get to use Cosmic Transmogrifier on Prophet of Lodegan and get 4 7 drops for 1. Sacrificial Toast fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Oct 7, 2013 |

Apparently it should go out at the same time as the first wave of alpha invites. There'll be an update at 4 PM PDT, at which point the invites may go out, or we'll get an update on when they might.

Artist name is on the double back. It was confirmed... somewhere. I'm positive. Wild's looking extremely strong after the spoiler with ramp, big creatures, scaling creatures, and recycling buffs. Ruby's artifact hoser is a big hit to all dwarf decks. Diamond and Blood both seem solid. Sapphire seems like it might have taken a bigger hit in the alpha card list due to having more complicated effects in general that don't work right yet.

Well, while everyone's waiting, there's a deck in the alpha client just called "Alpha Collection", and, well... It contains 4 of every single alpha card and 40 of every resource. It might make for a pretty hilarious mirror match.

I'd make sure they're not going to your spam folder. At one point, GMail just decided that all the e-mails I was getting from Twitch were spam, and I didn't realize for a while. Also, go to your Kickstarter settings and make sure you're set to recieve e-mail updates from them. As for the actual alpha invite, it will be from Cryptozoic themselves rather than Kickstarter, so it shouldn't be an issue, unless it also gets intercepted by your spam filter. Just keep an eye on news. I'm certain there'll be a fair bit of activity in this thread once the second invite wave goes out.

I put together a mono-ruby Inspire/Cerebral Fulmination based deck. It does some pretty crazy stuff like Swiftstrike/Crush/Speed 8/1 Rampaging Tarasques for 5 resources, Sniper of Gawaine shooting them in the head for 8+ damage, Royal Falconer putting out 20 power worth of troops in one turn. Fulmination and a couple Hex Engines basically keep me fueled on game ending threats constantly flowing in once it gets going. It's a lot of stuff for removal to keep up with, and a ton of fun to play. E: Deck List Sacrificial Toast fucked around with this message at 08:47 on Oct 26, 2013 |

I've had more success with games if both parties just wait a second before hitting the pass priority or continue button. It seems to be mostly when someone hits it as soon as it appears that it locks up.

So I put together a deck built around using Cosmic Transmogrifier to turn Prophet of Lodegan into 4 random 7 drops, and it turns out that it actually can transform constants into troops and vice versa. So, it turns out that Cosmic Transmogrifier and other constants actually work really well with Extinction to give you some serious board advantage. I could definitely see something worthwhile coming out of this.

Just won my first Sealed Tournament!  The second one I've played to reach the end, though the first was only by winning the first two rounds by default.Really, when you open up 4 Savage Raiders and 2 Fang of the Mountain God, what do you build besides Blood/Ruby Aggro?  Xentoth's Inquisitor only ever came out once, and Mortar Strike was never useful enough to play it, so may avoid it in the future. I even won one game with a 1 mana hand that had a Ruby and 3 Savage Raiders in it.

Yes, the 60 card deck for limited is compensating not just for the lower minimum in limited play, but also the fact that you'll probably only have one of them, and a number of the other cards you put in your deck to make him legal will probably be of dubious quality.

Afgad posted:Would that give you two free drafts a week? I thought they specifically said they were not allowing that to stack. What doesn't stack is the one year of Weekly Free Drafts that was added to each of the non-Pro Player $250 dollar tiers. Anyone already receiving 1 or more Weekly Free Drafts for life could not receive that bonus through account merging, and no one could get it twice by purchasing 2 non-Pro Player $250 tiers.

Since bounce effects increase the cost of the card permanently, they're particularly effective against Inspire troops, reducing the number of things in the opponent's deck that can benefit from the effect.
