Metagaming in a TCG like this is deep and complex, lol. So much so that we call the current environment "the meta" and talk about it constantly.

Essentially in Shadow Era you can't actually build...

Part of the thing with this genre, Trasd, is that everyone tries really hard to respect everyone else's original strategies for their decks when giving advice on specific lists. It's kinda considered...

Also remember that your first game you'll be at 0 rating, so it's not like you'll find your first match is against someone in the top 20 ranking or something like that.

The merchant will gray out all the cards that you can't use due to not having the right heroes to go with them, but the merchant also has a limited "stock," so to speak. It's sort of a strange...

No new cards have been added, but it's possible the merchant got restocked recently so you're seeing cards you haven't seen before. Also, you're not missing the ally healing cards for Shadow...

Unfortunately it has to be done manually. Perhaps one day we shall have a handy deck exporter tool...but it is not this day :(

While some people do love that web tool, I think it's also good to list your deck out in a forum post, because sometimes it's not convenient for people on something like Tapatalk to view the link....

Q: Lots of allies? A: almost always! A few competitive archetypes run less than the normal 16-18 allies, but they are the exception rather than the rule. Some run upwards of 20.

Q: Lots of damage...

The turn timer is 1 minute, but every time you take an action other than sacrificing a card it adds 15 seconds. This is GREAT, because no matter how much crap you have to do on your turn, you still...

Worth it guys...worth it :)

What do you mean by undocumented abilities? Can you give an example? There are sometimes things that happen as side effects of other things, and we may just not be thinking about them because they're...

Also...IRC! :D

1. Yep!

2. Nope, currently the only way to play unranked matches is if the joining person knows the password. We've had quite a lot of requests going to the devs for an unranked QM, so they're...

Edited because "A1 HOSPITALITY NINJA ATTACK!" doesn't have the same effect when the forums keep de-caps-ing it :(

No problem :) And just to clarify: Rain Delay actually refers to everybody's allies, both yours and your opponent's.

1. Rain Delay is useful for preventing the enemies from attacking you. For example, if they have 3 allies and you have only 1, you'll probably lose that ally and take a bunch of damage. BUT! If you...

Don't pay attention to the "Shuffle Bug" lol. There's a bunch of superstitious players who believe if you don't play against an AI for a few turns before going online, you'll get a bad draw.

I...

Hello there and welcome to the game and the community here! :) I'm curious...what TCG was this that you played in '81?

I'm sure there are about to be plenty of answers piling up here for you in a...
