where to buy

[KrakizkoloP]

My brothers and I want to buy more decks. Does anyone know where we buy more!

Until they reach stores, there are a few people selling cards on eBay.

I haven't received my cards yet, but when I do, I'll be selling lots of singles.

Talk to your local card shop and ask them to carry SE cards. Help promote this awesome game.

This is key. It's not like shops are magically going to carry this brand new game. They need an incentive to put them on the shelves. They probably haven't even heard of it yet!

Is Wulven going to try to get big stores to carry it as well, like Walmart, etc.?

Would definately help the game expand. Unfortunately to do so, u have to pair up with a large company. The last time that happened a game called Magic was also written off for good and canceled because it didnt make enough money for the super corp

You're not talking about Magic the gathering are you?

Yep. I am talking about MTG. At one point Wizards of the Coast (now a HASBRO subsidiary after HASBRO bought them hoping to make tons of money) became a losing venture. They has 2 known games, Pokemon and Magic, when Pokemon started going downhill, HASBRO was initially looking at cutting the entire WotC department. Instead, they cut like half the department and started making the profits they wanted on the games.

Most oversized corporations don't care that a game is making a profit, they care about how much profit that game is making. (Figmentary numbers) If a game is projected to make 5,000 net profit steadily, but never increase, or they could cut a game before the next production and make that 10,000 without having to spend 5,000 on reinvesting into the game, alot of companies CEO's look at the 10,000 option by putting it to their stock holder that they are getting double the pay out this year without having to put any risk into the future payout. It's the sad reality of a lot of modern day corporations.

There is a link to the after action decision. You would think with how big MTG is, that it would be an optimistic game in the future, but it's future is still bleak. There is still the reality that in the years to come, MTG might be on the chopping blocks. If it ever gets its head chopped off, I am curious which game will take its place. Maybe ShadowEra will be big enough by that time =)

I play it, but on PC, liked it a lot too, if you could actualy edit your decks really in the way you want it would be a great competition for Shadow Era, but because of how they decided to make the game I believe it will be fun for max 30/40 hours and then I will tire of it. But still, for only € 8,99 it was a nice buy
