Something of a side plot to the original story to explain how the fights we perform by playing our decks take place in the world of Eredan. Here is the first one, I am opening it up to my deck 'Is it Story Time?' you can read up on teh deck details here: http://msnbatcocas.blogspot.com/2010/10/is-it-story-time.html<br /><br />Is It Story Time?<br /><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" id="internal-source-marker_0.6925057337720236">Briscar viewed upon the piece of land the ship was approaching. A few pillars of smoke indicated a larger village nearby the shore, where they were going to land. He climbed down the mast to join the rest of the crew, waiting on deck, prepared for a fight. ‘Captain, it’s a village. Doesn’t look like they will pose a threat to us.’ ‘Great.’ said the red haired woman with a mischievous grin. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">- - - - - - - - - - - - - - </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">‘We cannot tolerate this any longer!’ yelled Lord Galmara while slamming his fist onto the table. ‘This is the fourth village these outcasts have raided in the past weeks!’ He looked over to Lord Gakyusha and the other assembled members of the Kotoba clan: Karasu Kage, Iro, Asajiro and Tsuro. ‘We have to do something!’ </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A few of the members nodded in agreement. The discussion was halted for a brief moment as Kimiko entered the room, bearing a tray of tea cups and freshly made tea. She served the tea and left the room with a short wink of the eye towards Asajiro. ‘We know nothing of our enemy, nor do we know when and where they will strike next.’ Asajiro established, once Kimiko had left the room. ‘We cannot just run around and hope to find them, let alone be able to defeat them without knowing a shred about them.’</span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">‘Our informants tell us they are heading in this direction.’ Tsuro drags his finger along the coast of western Xzia. ‘They attacked these four villages and will presumebly attack this one next.’ he points out. ‘My brother Oogoe is already scouting the area and the shore line.’ added Karasu Kage. His deep voice emitting from behind his dark mask gave Galmara a shiver down his spine. He did not know much of the man, he did however know, that he could be trusted as well as that he was a fierce opponent in battle. ‘What do you think of all of this, my Lord?’ </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">All eyes diverted to Lord Gakyusha who calmly sat in his chair and viewed the map solemnly. Gakyusha leaned towards Iro and whispered something into his ear. Iro, eyes closed. took a moment to think and gave a slight nod. ‘Lord Galmara, you will lead the scouting team and gather information about this unknown enemy. Take one of my warriors with you and group up with Oogoe Kage. Do not engage the enemy, unless directly threatened. Do you understand?’ </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">‘Yes, my Lord.’</span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -</span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Lord Galmara and Sen’Ryaku were walking down the path towards the Shing Peng village. The bamboo forest is dense and deep to their right and thins to their left, heading towards the shore line. ‘I am soooooooooo excited!’ exclaimed Ryaku with a cheerful grin on her face. ‘A new adventure awaits!’ Galmara liked the girl’s enthusiasm, but had to keep a focused mind for the mission as well as present himself as the leader of the scouting team. ‘This isn’t an adventure and fun, it’s an important mission, my dear. Try to stay focused...’ ‘Aw, alright. Poopy face!’ she said with a pout. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Time went by and the two got closer and closer to Shing Peng. ‘Where is that crow guy? Shouldn’t we have met him by now?’ asked Ryaku while twirling a dagger between her fingers. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">‘Speaking of the devil...’ Lord Galmara whispered as he saw a dark figure amongst the trees to his right. Oogoe Kage stepped out of the forest and joined the scouting team. ‘Lord Galmara, Miss.’ he said with a short and courteous bow. ‘I bear bad news my Lord. The pirates have already attacked Shing Peng.’ he said pointing in the village’s direction. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">‘What of the villagers?’ asked Galmara in a stern voice. ‘I have sent most of them away before the attack could happen. The majority fled inland but a few remained to protect their property...’ Oogoe explained in response. ‘I saw the pirate ship approach the cost about an hour ago. They landed swiftly and are looting the village’s stocks of goods and valuables.’ </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">‘What about the villagers who remained in the village?’ Ryaku asked Oogoe. ‘Severely wounded,... or dead.’ he said solemnly. ‘They are going to pay!’ Sen’Ryaku yelled while storming off into the direction of the village. ‘Ryaku, wait!’ Galmara ordered in vain. The girl had stormed off and there was nothing he could do but follow. Galmara and Oogoe followed Ryaku towards the village, weapons drawn. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Briscar had just finished packing up the last crate of good to be brought to the ship. This village had a decent deal of live stock, something different from the past villages they have raided. He was looking forward to digging into one of those juicy legs and started imagining the delicious flavours and scents of the meal yet to come. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">‘Hey dumb ass, get it together! We got a job to do!’ said one of his companions. ‘Oh shut it fish face. I am ready to go!’ he looked at the tall blue and green scaled friend of his. ‘Where is the boy?’ Poukos asked. He looked up towards the southern side of the village and saw the boy chasing after a chicken. ‘Hey Laddie, it’s time to go!’</span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The red haired boy stopped chasing the chicken and waved back to his comrades. He was the youngest recruit on the ship and very excited to be on his first mission. He looked at the pistolblade strapped to his belt and thought fondly of his mother who had given it to him when he officially became a crew member. Suddenly a crash from the woods frightened him. ‘You will pay for what you have done!’ screamed the girl running towards him from the forest. She looked like the villagers they had encountered throughout the region, yet she was more fierce looking. Armor plates and weapons drawn made her stand out from the people Laddie has encountered until now. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The girl thrusted her dagger towards him. Luckily he was able to block the attack with his drawn pistolblade. The skirmish was short and soon after the initial encounter the two broke off and stared at each other for a while. Laddie’s companions were taking forever to come to his aid. He heard their shouts from behind him, but didn’t understand a word they were saying as he was solely concentrating on his opponent. Laddie had an idea and raised his pistolblade and aimed it at the girl. The girl looked puzzled at his behaviour and decided to start an attack. *BOOM*</span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Laddie shot the round from his pistolblade. After a few seconds the smoke vanished and he saw not one, but three figures in front of him. One of the two new figures was standing in front of the girl, his hands pressed against his chest, trying to hold back a flood of blood coming out of the wound caused by the bullet. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Lord Galmara did not understand what was going on. Oogoe and he had reached the village in time to aid Ryaku when suddenly a loud explosion caught them off guard. Now he stood there aghast seeing Oogoe bleeding to death and the cocky pirate boy standing in front of them. Two of the pirates comrades joined the young boy who had taken down Oogoe with one attack. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The pirate boy ran off while the other two pirates started drawing their weapons. The dark skinned one with grey long threads of hair pulled out a long curved blade that starkly resembled the one the boy had used on Oogoe. The other pirate, a massive and giant scaly fish like creature unwound a coil of chains around its belly. Attached to the chains’ end was a large anchor that thudded into the ground. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The dark skinned one aimed his blade at Ryaku, simular as the boy had done before. This time she was prepared though. The man pulled the trigger and in that moment Ryaku dodged to the left and thrust her dagger forwards, slashing the man in his right arm. He screamed in pain and slashed with the blade in her direction, hoping to catch her off guard after her attack. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The bulky fish creature started twirling the anchor around above his head and threw it forward toward Galmara. He was astonished at how easily that creature tossed the heavy anchor at him as it crashed shortly behind him without touching him. Galmara used this moment as an opportunity to attack and slashed at the creature with his long and edged dagger. The green monster blew out a breath of cold air and stopped the blade short from hitting him in the stomache. Galmara was shocked to see the blade had frozen and was frightened when the anchor flew right past him, shattering the frozen dagger as it returned to the green creature in front of him. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -</span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Briscar’s arm was hurting more and more every time he parried the girl’s attacks. She had gotten the lead in their battle and continued to attack him relentlessly. Each attack draining him of his strength. He could not keep up with this much longer. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The other part of the battle was running more in favour of his comrade. Poukos had managed not only to trick his opponent, but also managed to destroy his weapon. A victory was surely going to happen soon. He swung his mighty anchor and tossed it toward his opponent. His opponent, however dodged the large anchor easily. A darkness arose from his opponent’s hand and formed into the shape of the dagger he had held just moments ago. It was back in his hand, as if nothing had happened to it. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Poukos now knew that he had underestimated his opponent greatly. Guemilites are powerful creatures, especially ones like his opponent. The dagger was back now and his opponent started to shroud himself in a darkness. The blackness emitting from him oozed over the ground and engulfed Poukos. He felt the sharp pain of a blade piercing his body. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Both Poukos and Briscar had underestimated their opponents and were close to being defeated. They did the best thing they could do in their extremely wounded state, that was to flee towards their ship and hope the boy would bring reinforcements. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">- - - - - - - - - - - - - - </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Ryaku felt the verge of victory as she slashed at her opponent. His defenses were becoming weaker over time. The rage in her helped her become a machine like killer, ruthless and tireless. After a while her opponent broke off and started to run away, as did the green scaly creature fighting alongside him. Ryaku and Lord Galmara persued the fleeing pirates, in hope of avenging their comerade, Oogoe. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Nearing the north side of the village, the two immediately stopped, shocked at what they saw. A tall and red haired woman stood in front of the two they had persued as well as the boy who had shot Oogoe. The odd thing about her was that she was covered in a flame like aura, getting bigger and bigger and bigger over time. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">‘You dare attack my boy and my crew!?’ she boomed in an extraordinarily loud voice. ‘It is your crew and you who raids and plunders our people and villages! How dare you!?’ boomed Lord Galmara back. He was intimidated by this woman, yet he had to remain his calm as well as intimidate as much as possible. He thought they had a chance against the two pirates, but now reinforced by this woman and the boy again, he doubted they stood a chance to survive. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">‘Leave our shores, pirate! Or you will suffer the wrath of not only the Empire of Xzia, but also of that of the Kotoba guild!’ he threatened. He hoped this would scare her off, but he could tell by her expression he had failed to intimidate her. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">‘Hahahahaha! You threaten me?’ she asked with a large grin on her face. ‘We are surely bound to see the wrath of your country, a we do not plan to leave any time soon!’ she countered. The flames around her cause small explosions and were getting bigger and bigger. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The boy had already begun to leave with his two wounded comrades. Ryaku wanted to persuit, but Galmara held her back. ‘We have to deal with her first...’ he whispered to her. Galmara and Sen’Ryaku braced themselves, as the woman with the red hair exploded...</span>Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01124515956022073952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607498124469619564.post-60030830718850125872011-01-04T06:03:00.002+01:002011-01-04T06:14:29.734+01:00Time to get this rolling Bitches!New years bring new ideas and all kinds of other new things. Lets start off with our new guild list. I removed some of the inactive/never seen members and have added some of the newer ones who joined past weeks. (One person is inofficially, officially in the guild, but still needs to pop up into our chat...)<br /><br />Joining our guild will need a person to be at least active in our regular chat http://xat.com/englisheredan and then everything depends on how good people work with our current clannies.<br /><br />Another new thing I would like to work on is a new blog layout at least. The web site idea kind of got Smashed against the Wall and we're gonna have to wait a bit until I can find an alternative solution. Any suggestions/Ideas on a new guild blog layout, feel free to post them here.<br /><br />I have been semi busy with helping out in the forums and fulfilling moderator duties as well as entirely reworking up the FAQ/Wiki section to help the community get their shit together. If anybody is up for helping in this, I will surely find something to help out. Ask either Rathedan or me on this issue. :)<br /><br />With that cheers and Happy Near Year fags! :DMatthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01124515956022073952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607498124469619564.post-14607087475913730892011-01-02T21:29:00.002+01:002011-01-02T22:14:56.867+01:00Pirates, bitch!The day has finally come, Pirates has infiltrated Eredan in the form of the Al Killicrew Pirates. Not only are they a new release, but they're their own brand new guild, and the folks are Eredan made sure that they made a big splash with a 22 card release, including 8 character cards. Now that is how you introduce a new guild. <div><br /></div><div>Along with introducing a whole new guild, the pirates bring a new gameplay mechanic in the form of "Powder" tokens. Powder is used to fuel the pirates action and spell cards and sometimes even strengthen the characters themselves, like in the case of Armada. Armada gains +1 attack for each Powder token on both herself AND her opponent. Paired with Captain Al Kilicrew, the supposed leader of the guild at the moment, she can gain an attack bonus of +6 on turn one without playing a single card. Throw in a Supplying, all live characters get 3 powder tokens, and thats a whopping +12 attack bonus. Other cards like Pistoblade give the character an addition attack bonus if they have powder tokens. The pirates have also brought along some powder driven spells, Fiery Sword and Flames of Phoenix. Fiery sword is pretty much the spell version of Armada's organic ability, +1 attack, and an additional +1 for each powder token on your character. The key to this spells is that all token ares are removed from your character after the spell is used, leading us to our next card, Flames of the Phoenix. Flames of the Phoenix is the Pirates devistating and self destructive answer to Lightning Bolts. It deals x fire damage to each character, where x is the number of powder tokens they have, those tokens are then removed. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I have two sample decks for your reading pleasure, the first is my concept, and the next is Joe's. Be sure to leave your feedback in the comments!</div><div><br /></div><div>This is my approach to a powder heavy deck based around Armada and Flames of the Phoenix</div><div><br /></div><div>Armada - Captain Al Kilicrew - Bragan</div><div><br /></div><div>3x Supplying</div><div>2x Fiery Sword</div><div>3x Flames of the Phoenix</div><div>2x Potato Peeling Duty</div><div>3x Tadaa!

The new Witchblades motivated me to do it. I fooled around with Keeping Moira and Eglantyne separate along with Anazra. The deck was pretty fun but lacked the offense necessary to really compete. However, it did help me realize how good ice shield can be. So this is what I came up with:<br /><br />Characters:<br />Ishaia<br />Eglantyne<br />Moira<br /><br />Cards:<br />3 Ice Barrier<br />3 Ice Shield<br />3 Life Devourer<br />2 Manipulations<br />2 Overwhelming Victory<br />1 A New Start<br />1 Hungry Void<br />1 Magic Attack<br />1 Freeze!<br />1 Lightning Bolts<br />1 Magic Shield<br />1 Tadaa!<br /><br />The 1 of cards are extremely sketchy at this point. I haven't played enough games with the deck to really flesh out what works best. The Overwhelming Victories and Magic Shield might look weird but those are mainly to give me a chance against Noz (Haven't tested against Noz yet but I'm not expecting big things). The first 14 cards I listed though are pretty set. Ishaia and her unbalanced +1 to everything is the center of the deck. Turn 1 Ice Barrier and Manipulation is almost a game winner. Chaining Ice Shield to Life Devourer is the goal with the two sisters. After just 1 Ice Barrier on Ishaia, the sisters get up to 6 def each. Their attack is super low but the +3 from the daggers is enough to punch through almost every deck you'll face, especially if you manage to get 2 of them on one sister. Needless to say, you'll be in for some long games as the deck has very little offense but amazing defense. I've never gotten so many people leaving games as with this deck. It has weaknesses, mostly to noz mage, but also if Ishaia gets one shot (which is really hard to do). Some other cards I've been thinking of adding are the Calling, Storm, and maybe the Best Defense.<br /><br />Messing around with Ice Shield I learned that it deals 2 dmg for each physical attack. This means each time you are dealt physical dmg. The saps double attack counts as physical dmg. I've one shot Meli before by playing just one Ice Shield. It's pretty funny. Anyways, hope you like the deck and I would love to hear any thoughts on it, positive or negative.

I'm going to start this and then we can just add as a comment what we finished up during this process.Breezy414http://www.blogger.com/profile/13060440018426707187noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607498124469619564.post-67194258846471597802010-11-30T22:29:00.001+01:002010-11-30T22:31:13.484+01:00Reject Tourney EditThe tournament has been moved!

A great idea and I also find it admirable that some of our more richer players are willing to supply funds for prizes.<br /><br />I decided to participate and as many of the thousands, hundreds of thousands of entrants, have worked up an awesome card! One of the main rules for judging was the card submitted being realistic and applicable in our game atmosphere.<br /><br />Unfortunately for me and many others, that was not held by the judges and many of the submitted cards <a href="http://eitcg.blogspot.com/2010/11/vote-pour-la-meilleure-fancard.html#more">here</a> are pretty overpowered, unrealistic or even totally obnoxious. Some of the entries are pretty damn cool and I like them a lot, others on one hand are just unfitting imo and do not stick to the given rules.<br /><br />I held back a bit with my previous card and have decided to prepare a new card for the possible next contest. I decided to follow suit a bit and go a little overboard with the OPness, but overall I still think it is applicable in most situations.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh42fTgUphPpx4FXYNMVgk-63RRy1WZTWFX3gFYeQTYQQXa2AVBkgh_PIqgNLdKDod5-F1_vfYcsl4CyZZjlMK-3gDreAql4Xp1JAsaX0QJP1nzN5lCbRivL8YQdbBAfR7u3z23yxVLQZ34/s1600/Phallic+Entity.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 292px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh42fTgUphPpx4FXYNMVgk-63RRy1WZTWFX3gFYeQTYQQXa2AVBkgh_PIqgNLdKDod5-F1_vfYcsl4CyZZjlMK-3gDreAql4Xp1JAsaX0QJP1nzN5lCbRivL8YQdbBAfR7u3z23yxVLQZ34/s400/Phallic+Entity.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543092724270165346" border="0" /></a><br />Wish me luck on the next card creation contest!

I'm going to post the potential rules / ideas and then take into consideration of what others think. Obviously talk with Steven about it since he had to original post, but I would like to get this on its feet and running. Would hope to get the rules at least established by the end of the weekend and then start registration Monday.<br />
<br />
<b>Rules:</b><br />
Participants will not be charged a fee to play in this tournament as it being the first one.<br />
Level 1 Mercenary Characters only.<br />
No Legendary Cards permitted.<br />
No "Unique" cards.<br />
Must have 10 different cards in the deck.<br />
Must use 2 copies of each card in the deck.<br />
Round Robin rules so everyone plays everyone.<br />
Games will be played best 2 out of 3. <br />
Winning a set will score you a point.<br />
Winner will be the person who has the most points overall.<br />
If there is a tie a tiebreaker will be played best 2 out of 3 to determine the winner. <br />
Prizes will be paid out to the top 3 players.<br />
Prizes will be determined based on the amount of players participating in the event.<br />
<br />
*Depending on the level of the participants, it will be wise to save your training ground games just in case you are unable to play against your opponent. If training room games are unavailable to be used, you will play the rest of the event verse your other opponents and then when your training room games reset, you will pick up the missed games*<br />
<br />
If you see something you don't like, let me know. I would like to get the rules established to what everyone will agree on by Sunday so we can start registration on Monday so we can get this underway.Breezy414http://www.blogger.com/profile/13060440018426707187noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607498124469619564.post-22208231077036116582010-11-09T03:39:00.002+01:002010-11-09T03:40:50.788+01:00Guild Tournaments?So, the topic of our own guild tournaments has been brought up before.

This week I finally broke down and spent the 18k she costs and lvled her up. This is what I came up with:<br /><br />Characters:<br />Helena<br />Pilkim<br />Eglantyne & Moira<br /><br />Cards:<br />3 Assassinations<br />3 Than the Sword<br />3 Rain of Death<br />3 Living Dagger<br />1 Hungry Void<br />1 Storm<br />1 Time to Die<br />1 Last Word<br />1 Tadaa! Your a Bunny<br />1 Lightning Bolt 3<br />1 Unleash Hell<br />1 Journey<br /><br />Since I was building the deck around Helena it seemed silly to go with anything but mages since she gets a +1 attack per mage in the group. I didn't want to go with 2 pure mages since that would limit the number of maurader cards I could run and in turn limit Helena's usefulness. I decided on the hybrid witchblade sisters since they tie both marauder and mage cards together. I chose Pilkim cause I believe he's the best stand alone mage with his turn orders and draconic spell ability. I wanted a balance between mage and maurader only cards, figuring to go with 7-8 of each and then filling in the remaining slots with trophy and non-specific cards. I ended up with 10 mage cards which is more than I wanted but when I deck tested it it worked well.<br /><br />I threw in three aoe cards cause I'm a big believer in them. I think I put storm in every deck I make lol. Something to be said about taking out characters that aren't opposing you. Unleash Hell is kinda weak but you get the most out of it when using the sisters since they still get to attack. I almost always choose living daggers over devouring. I just can't get over how good they are for survivability. I think the rest of the deck is pretty self explanatory.<br /><br />So now for some numbers fun. Helena's base attack is 4/12. Her high attack is 2nd only to abom. She immediately gets +2 attack since there are 2 mages in the group. If you win initiative, she gets another plus +2 since her order gives her +1 or +2 if her opponent is at full health. So now turn 1 she's sitting on 8/16 attack. Her last bonus comes if her opponent is a marauder. So potentially she's at 9/17 before playing any cards, not too shabby.<br /><br />While the deck definitely isn't tier 1, it's a lot of fun to play and can hold it's own. Happy hunting.Cartelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07015823672204632825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607498124469619564.post-62504104669453467832010-11-04T03:58:00.004+01:002010-11-04T04:30:20.971+01:00Noobitus - I beat it.Some of you may have gotten to know me a bit over the past months. Mostly as a badass, foil addicted asshole and a pretty awesome guy. What you do not know, yet, is that I once suffered under the terrible disease, Noobitus. :(<br /><br />It all began when I started gaming, probably still in my mother's womb as I cannot really remember when I actually started gaming. I have been growing up with gaming all my life, ever since Turbo Graphx 16 all the way up to more modern consoles, such as the PS3.<br /><br />Back then, the symptoms were pretty apparent, I kept losing and got frustrated against other players every time they beat me. Back then we figured it was just because I was some dumbass kid, but now, in modern times and science, we have concluded I have Noobitus. Back then the disease was just not known, almost like AIDS or cancer.<br /><br />In my early teens I diverted to extreme methods to be able to beat the more experienced and just plainly better players than me. 1337 Hax0rings. I would run around playing Counter Strike and shoot people in the head through walls or walk up to them calmly and knife them to death while they unlaod their ammunition into my undestructible face.<br /><br />My 1337 Hax0rings was becoming a problem. Not only for the people I played against, if they even did that anymore, but also for myself. In addition to having Noobitus, I suffered under a Haxxing addiction. I went sent to rehab...<br /><br />In rehab I was literally tortured. They didn't prevent me from playing video games, quite the contrary, I was forced to do so. Mostly games I just could not hax in. Under constant humiliation and suffering I came to realise I had a problem. I became dedicated to my cause to get rid of my addiction and beat my Noobitus!<br /><br />I quickly caught on how things worked and realised that nobody can be a pro at a game after just playing for 10 minutes. I grinded simple tactics and maneuvers until I knew them by heart. Eventually, over time I could create my own tactics and strategies, mostly because I sat down and dedicated some time to get acquainted with the game.<br /><br />After two long, yet awesome weeks I came out a new person. Someone who did not let his Noobitus get the better of him, someone who would beat your ass in any game, cause I am that awesome. Someone who also slept with your mom, often. I hope, by posting some of my life story here for you, you will be able to digest this and possibly get rid of your Noobitus as well.<br /><br />Cheers~<br /><br />MattMatthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01124515956022073952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607498124469619564.post-78190875851197077502010-10-29T17:48:00.000+02:002010-10-29T17:48:19.940+02:00Where Is Brendan Fraser?So this weeks release was the mummy Amhid, adding yet another powerful card to the already powerful Desert Nomads. All in all, I think this guy is ruthless to say the least. Sure, he loses health on his orders but that doesn't stop him one bit. The health loss just infuriates him and makes him go blind with rage and slaughters anything in his path. <br />
<br />
Along with that card, came 4 other cards: Sunburn, Temple Sword, This tomb..., ...Will be your GRAVE!. All of these cards are great in their own sense. Sunburn has the ability to remove those pesky Manipulations that are in play. Temple Sword instantly equips to a Temple Guardian for +2 attack. This Tomb... and ...Will be your Grave! combine for a devastating combo that can almost guarantee a one hit knock out when used by the right person.<br />
<br />
With the release of these new cards, I was inspired to come up with a new deck of the week. You guessed it, Temple Guardians. Teaming Amhid up with The Sphinx and Lodir (non-belly dancer), they pull together and deal mass amounts of damage to the enemy quickly and efficiently. One thing really stands in their way and that is... wait for it... everyone else's Achilles heel... Noz Mages.<br />
<br />
<b>Characters:</b><br />
Amhid<br />
The Sphinx<br />
Lodir (Scimitar Chain)<br />
<br />
<b>Items:</b><br />
2 Temple Swords<br />
3 Desert Scimitars<br />
2 Scroll of Immobility<br />
<br />
<b>Actions:</b><br />
3 Obesity<br />
3 Solaris<br />
3 This Tomb...<br />
3 ...Will be your Grave!<br />
1 Smash that Iron!<br />
<br />
All 3 of these guys are Temple Guardians, so many of the cards in here are able to work with anyone and effectively at that matter. All three of the characters are able to chain Temple Sword giving them an instant +2 attack as well as playing something else. Solaris maybe? Allowing them to stay alive as well as boosting their attack. Desert Scimitars are another form of healing these guys. Since they have rather low defense, the end turn healing is always a bonus. Tossing in Scroll of Immobility is another great card for this deck. Not only can The Sphinx chain it to something else, but it usually gives you a defense buff while lowering the nasty defense of the opponent. Hello Kotoba Warriors!<br />
<br />
Obesity and Solaris is just a normal Desert Nomad combo that works well. Defense buff for you, Defense debuff for them and you gain life. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. It's the Bee's Knee's as some might say. The main combo for this deck, and your money maker, would have to be the Tomb/Grave combo. Used with anyone, it's a gauranteed +6 attack -2 defense for the opponent granted you lose 3 life in the process. Using this combo with Amhid on his order, without any buffs from swords or scimitars, he turns instantly into a 17/20 powerhouse running through the competition. Like many of other line ups.. these guys can easily fall short to Noz Mages due to the lack in spirit.. Which kind of throws me off, since they look like they could be Egyptian, and as far as I knew, they were very spiritual.. Oh well, the world may never know.Breezy414http://www.blogger.com/profile/13060440018426707187noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607498124469619564.post-37315768756961957352010-10-27T04:22:00.003+02:002010-10-27T04:25:55.374+02:00Almost Over! 22/9001Today's a monumental day for our clan.

It's time for us to prove our worth! The French players have a player sponsored tournament they run out of there forums. This weeks tournament is a level 1 highlander style tournament. The rules are as follows:<div><br /></div><div>All characters must be level one.</div><div>You may have only 1 copy of a card in your deck.</div><div>No legendary cards allowed.</div><div><br /></div><div>Take this opportunity to show off your skills on an international level. </div><div><br /></div><div>To participate, message the player Ollrek in game by midnight monday (French time) with your character line up.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here is the link for more details. <a href="http://forum.eredan.com/viewtopic.php?id=9567">http://forum.eredan.com/viewtopic.php?id=9567</a><br /><div><br /></div></div>Steven_Allenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15476826930146932858noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607498124469619564.post-17500743972271560292010-10-23T17:23:00.008+02:002010-10-23T17:56:12.470+02:00Is It Story Time?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxdYVv1blOFlrrAFesEYNAlyogsTSlmt3lUoZ0Yaqemc0nI4DLvSUVI3EYUqSa5b14-XXdI-xw3NanRe9YCS_-X85hS3vxtLi1CbElvlWO8u27Mz85ZojRM3jzyeso9_OfijDM8JAWFzfJ/s1600/Lord+Galmara+Foil+Level+3+Shadow.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxdYVv1blOFlrrAFesEYNAlyogsTSlmt3lUoZ0Yaqemc0nI4DLvSUVI3EYUqSa5b14-XXdI-xw3NanRe9YCS_-X85hS3vxtLi1CbElvlWO8u27Mz85ZojRM3jzyeso9_OfijDM8JAWFzfJ/s200/Lord+Galmara+Foil+Level+3+Shadow.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531269779523017970" border="0" /></a>It is time for me to be a big fat bragger and show off one of my decks. This time a finished one. :P<br />The deck I built is called 'Is It Story Time?' and based off of a 1 minute <span style="font-style: italic;">song</span> from the Left Rights composition by those queers from Mindless Self Indulgence.<br />It is a mostly Kot deck with some Courtesan Zil influences in it. The deck basically cripples opposing Kot and Zil decks and gets bigger ans nastier with stacked daggers, swords and Overwhelming Victories. A slow yet fun deck to play, especially against the powerhouse attack based guilds out there.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZz4wTwEGIvOnH59MMipW8hu9UNE3_7L6xNlKt8RLfkaykTAHu3Z4wuHeXvNZbW2TCl6hyphenhyphenwsxEePSMBbrGH0sHDCDhRFRQF1wNDU8V0F6CgqJLYIodxdovNEWEDhRiTs-XghKlZ93mka1S/s1600/Oogoe+Kage+Foil+Level+3+Warrior.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZz4wTwEGIvOnH59MMipW8hu9UNE3_7L6xNlKt8RLfkaykTAHu3Z4wuHeXvNZbW2TCl6hyphenhyphenwsxEePSMBbrGH0sHDCDhRFRQF1wNDU8V0F6CgqJLYIodxdovNEWEDhRiTs-XghKlZ93mka1S/s200/Oogoe+Kage+Foil+Level+3+Warrior.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531269947314076658" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Characters:<br /></span>Lord Galmara Level 3 (Shadow Form)<br />Oogoe Kage Level 3 (Warrior Form)<br />Sen'Ryaku Level 3<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Action Cards:</span><br />3x Manipulation<br />2x Overwhelming Victory<br />1x The Council's Decision<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>1x Smash That Iron<br />1x Banish<br />2x Tadaa!

The best thing about this is when facing a Zil or a Kot deck its literallz -6 Attack for them. The negative attack will help you enable heals from your daggers, making them literally 3 attack, 2 defense blades (defense here is healed hp back).<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTxn_QcBeV4LdIskDHVnNtyqPJw-2L_xrYZi_xc6vDjuMbAb1GMY5GOcm_Smk5UXElH0fNHWkV_42q1F0EejsfdyfIcMOX6uGLvtFOPhB7IMJYC8NXk2o3g1tbKbn7YgR__p_Y3HEVQ2c-/s1600/Life+Devourer.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTxn_QcBeV4LdIskDHVnNtyqPJw-2L_xrYZi_xc6vDjuMbAb1GMY5GOcm_Smk5UXElH0fNHWkV_42q1F0EejsfdyfIcMOX6uGLvtFOPhB7IMJYC8NXk2o3g1tbKbn7YgR__p_Y3HEVQ2c-/s200/Life+Devourer.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531270258456511698" border="0" /></a><br />The Council's Decision is a great all rounder support card to get rid of some nasty cards. Is a mixture between Smash and Obesity, really useful even though it costs you HP to use. Smash that Iron is imo essential in any warrior based deck. It literally messes people up and is more useful than a lot of people beleive. Banish is one of those random but damn useful when needed cards. Most of the time it ends up getting discarded as not many decks run theurgy cards. However, the nasty DK/Theurgy deck combos suffer grandly under this cards. Banish and chain it to Smash That Iron will literally ruin an entire DK/Theurgy combo in one turn.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEClO7AXfDKhP0bPklYofBov64n4bJlvgQRjCGhpFdmCjNoj97vwVatCBXbW3OthszokxYR-CwguCfdjwQ5g4JIXvKdx_35mGHY8J-KxlJKoEvTQYAVpdEUB-0pTWvKGkrQyBnsmqyNzek/s1600/Keep+Your+Guard+Up%21+Foil.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEClO7AXfDKhP0bPklYofBov64n4bJlvgQRjCGhpFdmCjNoj97vwVatCBXbW3OthszokxYR-CwguCfdjwQ5g4JIXvKdx_35mGHY8J-KxlJKoEvTQYAVpdEUB-0pTWvKGkrQyBnsmqyNzek/s200/Keep+Your+Guard+Up%21+Foil.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531270615194295314" border="0" /></a>Keep Your Guard Up! and Randori are cards to help keep your guys ('n' gal) alive a bit longer.

I scored at least 40 perfects with this deck in the time it took me tolevel it up.

These new tree huggers bring an all new game plan to the table with the ability to deal direct damage as well as double strike their opponents.<div><br /></div><div>Of the 12 new cards, there are a few that stand out. For starters, Sap Heart brings an impressive and creative hand full of character cards. Melissandre is the only rare among them, and boy is she worth it. Not only does she chain daggers, but she double strikes every turn. Another awesome new character is Ydiane. She too double strikes with her basic attack score, but with a twi</div>st. She is able to chain the great new item, Elfine Bow, which spreads damage evenly among your opponents characters.<div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFIbXBG7VsS7tJA95yy3r8J72umpKDtH1icLKFjw6LaCXgWBZNIW4YvMukqhjyInhlmf7rKO0uaApNSaN_ImDy2YUzZAKHV0HYFVjbGb5jetYqlTqiHrBSaqAQPtFsxIEDpQgsumI_R43-/s200/meli.png" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; text-align: right; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 146px; height: 200px;" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530279504530223522" border="0" /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>A few interesting new action cards were introduced, as well as our first</div><div> look at Nature magic. Among the action cards, Quick draw stands out the most. It gives your Sap Heart warrior Ydiane and Melissandre's ability for the turn. We also get an awesome spell in Magic Poison and Root. Magic Poison is a permanent that attached to your opponent and deals 5 damage a turn to the character for 3 turns. That's enough to kill just about anything without having to touch him for the following turns. Root is also a great one. It prevents your opponents character from chaining cards, crippling, or at least slowing down, most decks, especially the Zil. No more Time to Die+Assassination for you, Mr. Telendar. </div><div style="text-align: right;"><br /></div><div>All in all the, Sap Heart is an original and interesting guild that should turn the game on its head at least for a little while.</div>Steven_Allenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15476826930146932858noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607498124469619564.post-14718244825090840162010-10-17T21:36:00.004+02:002010-10-23T18:00:30.466+02:00Death cannot stop the Dragon...<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>...and Frenchies cannot stop the Breezy!
