Eredan iTCG bring dem Hoe Hoes~

The newest cards are out and they are smokin' hot! Courtesans is the theme, and hoes fulfill more than our dreams. Four new characters followed by a good assortment of action cards to assist them are stirring up commotion in our gaming community this week.

The basic idea behind Courts is that they belong to one guild and kind of sneak and snoop around in another. This makes these characters the first multiguildes characters in the game. Good point to this is that they can join decks of both the guilds they belong too!

The four characters come as two marauders, one mage and one undefined (actually I would class her as a whore...) class. Three of them are part Nomad, two part Noz, one Zil and one Kotoba. This makes them not only additional characters to the slim character choice for Nomads, but also additional allies to the main three guilds out there.

Not only do these tastey characters come with their own unique, until now unseen and partially badass abilities, but also some awesome action cards to go along with them. This makes deck building rather interesting and also unlocks a whole new area for deck builders to scout and discover.

The trend goes toward making your opponent's characters useless, basically seducing them into being the little puppies they actually are. Cards like Manipulation and Under the Sun help in this field and weaken your opponent in more than one way.

Another interesting card is called Tea Ceremony. A direct AoE damage effect that is based on the guild of your Court char using it. Combine it with Kimiko and Hasna for shittons of silly direct damage! The only difficulty using it is that you must be facing an opponent with the same guilds as you have in your deck. So either you limit yourself to a small selection (by using one Court char with normal characters) or make an all out Court deck that can support such gameplay.

All in all this upgrade in cards has been extremely awesome and the people are loving it! Let's hope for future updates to be simular and equally awesome! :D

  2. Don't forget about the new trophy card, The Ball, as well. While it may or may not find practical application in normal play, its a great card for EVO.
