Eredan's World

Sorry if I expressed myself misleading, but I'm not a native English speaker.

I used the "funny" because it was funny to play with this deck, but after around 100-150 match I definitely bore it I didn't find intention to improve it, so I shared it.

I never said this is a good deck, but what do you wait from 30-50k crystal (or much less if you exchange bunny for Fallback). I stopped around 1650 ELO point with it after that my win rate reduced to 50%.

I would never shared this deck if I thought it is a boring cheater and otherwise weak deck. I did it because maybe I can give funny experiences for players who don't have millions of crystals.

In tactical card games I usually like versatile decks what have several combinations in it and you need to thinking. You are right in Eredan there are much simplier decks than discard what wins with brute character force (like most Kotoba uberbrutal defense decks) or built on one card combination what usually kill the opponent (like items have a soul), but the metagame of discard decks I and my brother saw or uses are too simple and straighforward for my taste, but worth enough to experience it.

So please share your thoughts I would like to hear you opinions about the pro and cons this deck and maybe you can suggest some improvements what dodged my mind.

You can use it but there are much better cards for crows because only Toran, Malyss and Yu Ling can use it, and only Malyss get chain. [card]Bleeding[/card] better for spirit lowering and its permanent and chain, [card]Wall-passer[/card] doesn't but it's more versatile. [card]Disagreement[/card], [card]Tatamijutsu[/card] better defensive cards with chain (also works better against elfine multiattacks), not to mention [card]Fallback[/card] and [card]Tadaa! You're a bunny.[/card].

Have you already played the caste Deck, if yes which one(s) ?

My first and favourite caste deck is Crow. I tried a lot of variants including mixed caste decks (crow-tsoutai, crow-tracker) I don't like the new update very much.

I also tried some Tracker, Witchblade, Mechanist decks too. I'm thinking about to make an Eclipse deck

-Did you prefer a certain caste character like Avaloniens (Aez) or Hares The Runic ?

Definetely no, but I would like much more mercenary based or non-Guild cards. Maybe a card what play immidiatly a card from the deck/graveyard what contains the character name in the description.

I think Mercenaries need to be more attractive to put in guild decks too. Maybe they would be able to ignore the guild restriction of deck base. For example Aez use imperial armor in Kotoba deck or Dragon's Wit in Noz deck.

People don't like to use mercenaries in other decks because they card choice are limited compared with guild characters in deck.

- Do you think that the castes are competitive enough on ELO? If yes, at what point and with which tools?

I don't think so. Top Elo decks mostly based on brute force cards or powerful combinations.

- What do you think of the involvement of the caste characters in the storyline of Eredan?

I only read the first Act but I canceled my readings because it wasn't too enjoyable. Sometimes I search after a character what I like in it and read 1-2 section.

Do you have comments or suggestions that you would like us to know about concerning the castes?

1) Make much more cross caste cards and characters it helps to make cross caste deck's. For Example in Kotoba castes there are at least one character between each castes (Toran, Hime, Malyss)
2) Kotoba Castes are very well developed, you have hight variety of choices to build unique decks. They also has unique game mechanics and gameplay too, and good versality in races and classes. I think they are good enough for a long time.
3) Noz Castes are almost as good, but they have simplier more predicted gameplay, and their castes are more separeted, you wont want to mix them up. Compedium need one more character and much more non character card it would be nice to see a Water mage, and more compedium spell.
Dragon knights are strong enough now, but they would be glad for one more character.
A new Witchblade would also nice (maybe a witchblade-dragon knight character, or a witchblade character who automatically starts with the jewel what makes her dragon knight if it is in the deck). Witches also need more light spell.
I think Noz Castes are the best in ELO now so improvements not necesarry needed.
4) Zil have maybe the most unique Castes. The Circus get their update and variety. The Pack is also brutal, but I would like to see some new Pets, and cards what effects on them. (Maybe an action card what do if you have a pet and your health dropped under zero, immidiatly remove the pet and your health becomes 1)
It would be nice to see a shadow guelemite based caste too but it don't necessery.
5)Nomads get their third Caste too. I think they are good. You don't have much caste specific non-character cards but who said you only need caste specific cards in your caste deck. They have some very powerful character, and some brutal cards too.
6) I think Sap Hearts, Pirates, Nehants don't need more castes. They all have unique flavor in gameplay with some great combos and decks, they need now more general cards.
7) Courtisans really need some improvement. I think the best would be if you change the deck construction rule from
"You need a common base guild and every character in your deck (except if he is a mercenary) needs to have the common guild."
to
"just above except if all of your character Mercenary or Courtisan, you don't need to share guild." (What makes legal the Kimiko, Psalm, Dandy deck)
or
"Every character in the deck need to share a guild with at least one other character (mercenaries doesn't count)" (What makes more variety between courtisans or use courtisan character as connection between single guild characters)

I've played Eredan for two months but I've played bazzillions of tactical card games since 98 so I have some though about this topic.

I thought the main concept of courtisans of their versality and flexibility.

So I would like to see new courtisans not three guild monsters.

There are 58 valid combination of pure courtisan decks without Ishaia, and some of them are very funny and relative good. (Hasna-Kimiko-Angelica, Galmara-Ooge-X,  and the Sitar hero versions).

They also have very good cards.

Say any non-courtisan card what...

-give you +2 defense and chain (Tatamijutsu doesn't work if you have item, Disagreement rise the enemy defense too)
-do direct not magic area damage what are only avoidable by Jorusians and Disappaerence (Storm, but it is unique and damage your characters too)
-permanently lower all enemy attack or spirit what usually main source of the damage
-give one or more than one permanent bonus to all of your characters (Lunation for Pack)
-give possibly +5 attack in the first turn for one hit kill (+10 with Time to Die +7 with Voodoo)

Okay courtisan cards have some restrictions, but I think its okay, because because every guild and every caste has advantages and drawbacks and you have to choice to raise your advantages or try to lower your drawbacks when you build a deck.

Just my two cents...

The direct damage screw the thropy. (I tested with my Hasna-Angelica-Kimiko deck but it wasn't count to the physical part).

This is a thropy designed for crow (the reward also best for crows).

It's relative easy, just equip [card]Tsume[/card] on each character or use Vanish (or [card]Restored Honor[/card] or [card]Iaido[/card] ) if you don't have any in your hand.

Other solution is a pure mage deck but it will cost much more because you also need to win (you need to use good damage spells or [card]Fog Hydra[/card]).
