Anyone interested in doing the WoW trading card game Molten core raid deck?

Subject: Re: WoW trading card game Thu Jan 10, 2008 2:38 am

I have a ton of these at my house, including the raid.

Not to blow this off topic (making a date belongs in that forum anyway Wink

) but what do you guys think of the game?

For me it was way too similar in the way it played to Magic for me to get into it. After playing magic for ten years I had had my fill.

Sorry, I had no idea where to put this lol. I agree its very similiar to magic except for the resource mechanic can be any card and the raid decks idea. Personally the "duel" of the game is boring as it is like Magic. I really only want to play the raid decks. We did it a few weeks ago, 4 vs the raid deck and it was a blast. We played til like 2am at ACME

yeah it is really fun, and challenging when playing against someone who knows how to play the raid well.

I did gloss over the resource thing... magic definitely loses on this front. The simple fact that I don't have to dedicate half of my deck to land cards is completely awesome, and means those 60 cards go a hell of a lot further than in magic.

yea so it makes deck building more simplistic and you can create WAY more effective combos even as a noob

I do need to get with Kadden on this deal,I really just like reading the cards and the artwork,and comparing what the cards have verse the WoW Online.

My goal is to collect all the series,if possible,but I have no idea where I am,or what I dont have in each version,if youy know What I mean.

Is there anywhare I can get that kind of info?On what to collect.

Building A deck.

Ive tried to put my fist deck together,did I do this correctly:
Priest Deck
18 any cards(the cards with several different armys)
22 Priest cards
4 Horde Quest cards
15 regular horde cards

It depends on your style of play. Also I don't know what a "Fist Deck" is but it sounds scary.

Other than looking online at other people's decks a good way to learn the game is to starting with an even split between allies, equipment, abilities, and resources at 15 cards per group.

Of course things can be changed up. In raids if I am using a Priest as a heal deck I'll cut back on resources and equipment to get abilities up to around 30 cards.

With Warriors or Pallidins sometimes I'll cut back on Resources and get more equipment that if need be can be placed down like a Resource.

One trick with WoW decks is to control that urge for big cool cards. Generally a good mix of four or less cost cards are key. A fast hitting deck usually beats a slow build deck. Although I have drawn out some games pretty long with a paladin deck back at Cincinnati Scifi.
