Eredan's World

Keizan in the Premium Booster, me = super happy

While I think that leveling cards is not a real problem the devs should focus their time on, there are some ways to improve it and make it a bit less frustrating (except by organizing evo groups) - I've tried to level a completely random group of mages this weekend (L1 Aku, Toran, Observer) and 9 out of 10 games, I play against a (almost) max level deck whose owner decides to completely ignore my order bonus. There's no rule that prevents you from having so little esteem in your deck that you need to do this, but I believe that giving people a little incentive to hit your order bonus (like some extra crystals) would improve the situation a lot.

Why not? You want cards that chain and your choices are somewhat limited. I don't like Smart Ass or Weapon Dance since your equipment gives you enough offensive power, you just need time to set it up. Furthermore it helps you get Life Devourer's bonus and is a nice chain with A New Beginning...

I'm playing this:

Aez/Hares/Foam Giant
3 It is time (switch to something else if you're at max lvl)
1 New Start
1 Journey
3 Life Devourer
3 Runic Gauntlet/Armor (whatever you prefer)
3 Shell
1 Smash that Iron
2 Sword of 5 Elders (enough imo)
2 Tadaa!
1 The best Defense

About 60:40 in non elo-play, it's not very competetive and I run it only for trophies and leveling some chars. You can vary a bit by adding Yilith + Divine Light + Oath of Faith instead of Aez+Swords+Shells or Quilingo/Kronhan instead of the other heavy hitters - whatever you need at max lvl

My DKs dual wield Draconian Swords and Life Devourers, which is a pretty solid package since those provide some life gain as well. Considering the effort to get Pala Hammer going, I think that Life Devourers, which provide you with less lifegain for more draw consistency and punch are the better option.
I've also tested Dragon's Presence, it's very situational since it requires a Noz card AND is rather useless in the first 3 rounds, but provides a nice chain for The Last Action. Since this deck needs every chainable card it can get, I ended up playing 1 Journey and 1 Dragon's Presence.
The Best Defense is a must imo, since it allows you to break stalemate situations.

There's a difference between the 1st and 2nd level of Sunburn in the french translation. Sadly I don't speak french (and I'm too lazy to type it up in google translate), but I figure it's the same with Smash that Wall and Smash that Iron so that you can chose any permanent at lv. 2

44 games so far, 16 points gathered. I've found out that Noz Mages let you control the game enough to gather points vs. players that don't quit and have an OK matchup vs. the omnipresent courtesans (don't get me started on those...). Furthermore, I started today to write player names down who show good sportsmanship to return the favor on this bulls trophy.

Maybe he put it up for 500k because you need to buy one so urgently that you opened a new forum topic for it?

I'm a strong believer that (most) markets regulate themselves, also this game's. The market price stands in direct relation to booster cost, time needed for acquiring crystals, supply and demand. If any of those factors changes, so does the price. A taxation of 10% is fair, I've seen online markets that work without real taxation (Battleforge) and give full benefit to clever traders without bankrupting the provider. I think it's already a huge plus for f2p players that there is no secondary market for feez only and to be honest, crystals are comparable easy to acquire - you won't be capable of stocking up to 3 Assassinates in a week, but at least you have a long term game plan

If you don't want to spend a lot of money on the game, buy some <1000 crystal common chars, level them up, spend 5 euros once to unlock trading, put them up for sale and profit. This is a good game with an outstanding update policy, the devs deserve some contribution.

On a side note, the only real problem I see is that booster prices are quite steep. Excluding discounts, for 5 Euros you get almost one booster with 12 cards, including a single rare, which is more expensive than buying a physical MtG booster for example. A digital good should cost less than it's physical counterpart for obvious reason.

There's a server sided problem atm that doesn't allow players to put cards up for sale (it's being discussed in the french forum http://forum.eredan.com/viewtopic.php?i … t=itcg-us). I figure that explains prices..

Sure, but after you made your attack choice, you shouldn't need another minute to decide which action to play unless you have no clue what's going on.
