(Edit: I don't mean to single you out, Eev...just referring to the fact that more than half the posts in this thread are criticizing a particular card, set, or strat. ) Jesus. People really do just complain about whatever seems to be the most powerful card, until the nerf hammer comes down, then it's on to the next one! Sandra is a good card. But there are a DARN LOT of really powerful cards in the 4cc slot. If you build your deck with the right amount of flexibility and early game power, you should be able to handle multiple Sandra plays. EVerybody currently bitching about cards right now needs to stop. The game is going to evolve quickly and significantly in the coming weeks, and only then, after a meta game settles in, will it really be worth playing with rebalancing cards. Chill, k? Thx
i am not bitching about cards. it's just no fun to win if u play 3-4 Sandras in the row, and to loose on the draw too. this card is of course the most powerful creature now. and like always somebody quotes post when i already have edited it.
The fact that she's 2/3 makes her so unbalanced. She's a Here Be Monsters for ONE "mana" more, but that leaves a 2/3 on the table. For comparison's sake, the FireSnake costs one mana and is a puny 1/2.
Regarding, Sandra Trueblade. My opinion is she's fine as-is. The only reason I see in agreeing to a nerf is depending on how the next update shifts the balance. It may or may not shift a Zhanna Plague deck with Sandra + Retreat in an annoying way that would require attention. Sandra has been hotly debated and will likely remain debated for awhile. I've seen the comparison drawn between Sandra, Here Be Monster, and Fire Snake drawn before. To save the long-drawn debates, my opinion remains about Sandra; again, it's merely just my opinion and if you think I'm wrong, you are certainly entitled to that opinion as well.
I am considering making Sandra "unique" so that you can't spam her so quickly, unless she is killed off. But I am also considering lowering her stats, because her ability is really good. Before the next release I still have to review all the cards and catch up on the card threads and go over the card list once again. Not only nerfing but also improving cards that are too weak.
If the web version succeeded with the same set, I don't understand why you would need to make any moves unless it was painfully apparent that any card was totally broken. There are supposed to strong cards and weak cards in every set. If they're all in total balance, the game just lies there like a pancake and sags. My 2c.
So I downloaded this just based on it being the same developer as Battle for Wesnoth. I haven't had a chance to play as things have been nuts with work, family and school. What is the IAP component of this? I'm not really sure what you can/can't enjoy for free.
You receive a starter deck for FREE and against the AI can build up enough to buy additional cards and even play against humans. You may not have the best deck but you can play for free. IAP gives you additional cards/decks.
Since I am still playing around, I reset to cleric/healer type hero, lose 2 against AI straight -- looks like it is another hard to use class without additional cards. Mage/spellcaster on the other hand, in quite a different story. Another 2 rounds against AI (wolf and mage), all moves second, win using my vanilla deck. Yet to beat the warrior class. I don't know, may be the AI is bad, or mage is okay or going second is not such a big deal if you have the proper deck...
Easy to learn, but very deep rule set; lots of cards to collect; wonderful card art; free to download; online multiplayer Can’t be played offline Shadow Era is a deep CCG that’s easy to pick up, but nearly impossible to put down SlidetoPlay
Hey Kyle, just thought of something -- you're planning to enable GameCenter multiplayer, right? What will this do to crossmultiplayer...? By the way, how many players now?
Just played the browser version and it's really nice to see the card effects and be able to read the text. Whole new experience. I may stick with browser for now until I get the new Ipad. Hoping the Ipad version will look as good as the browser version. Seems that the effects are much smoother in the browser version.
I don't think the problem right now is that any one ally(Sandra) is unbalanced it's just that there aren't that many cards out right now so pretty much every single person you play that uses humans will have 4 sandras in their deck and if they don't they are most likely stupid. The Sandra problem will most likely be rectified a number of ways once more cards are out. Perhaps a card like Magic's sol ring which is a one cost artifact that can produce 2 mana.
I don't mind the resource damage because they're spending resources to do so and I feel like the -1 resource effect is not that difficult to get over if you have a fast moving Wulven/Elemental/Mage deck that either relies on mass creatures with low cost, direct damage/damage over time, or just burning through the opponent's cards and outlasting him.
From my little playing experience, I have strong doubts about the effectiveness of resource destruction tactics -- first the cards having such effect are quite expensive: it usually take 3 to 4 resources to cast but even if you manage to throw one out when the opponent's pool is at 3 to 4, your opponent can still place one or two allies/efffects/items that make you cry... The effectiveness declines further when you get late in the duel when your pool is large enough to cast 3 or 4 allies/items at once. May be I have yet to duel with an opponent with a deck full of expensive and powerful cards.
