First 5 stretch goals announced.

Kickstarter is currently at $383k




There is also a new video up about equipment/talents/experience.

They tweaked the stretch goals. Primal Packs are now unlocked at 490k. At 540k they are adding a soft-subscription, for $4 a month you get 1 booster pack a week. Champion and above get a free 3 month soft-sub.

Kickstarter is currently at 446k

A few people have called and asked about cashing out for real money and while they aren't sure if it will be in game (for legal reasons I assume) they have no plans to enforce a 'No selling cards for real money' rule on secondary markets.

new video out on competitive play / formats




really hope they add something like momir-vig, obv not a super competitive format but easily the most fun I have w/MTGO, such good gamble/sweat/enjoyment

Does the language on this seem off? The second line makes the first sound like a 'may.'

that cant be a real card?

doesn't seem off at all, after 1st turn you have the option to shuffle into into your deck (as a 6/6) that now doesn't have the ability to continue to do that (i.e. it can't be done again from the same card to go to 9/9)

definitely real :-p....




question... the equipment slots on the right hand side... are those unique to cards (i.e. if you equip one of the 2 shown on the right hand side of the card it will do that) or is it any equipment you have could affect the cards, so 1 card can be effected by 15-20 diff. equipments rather than 1 card can only be effects by 2 diff ones + set bonuses

Sure it can be - I guess
3/3 haste for 1 seems pretty silly.
I think it needs 'When' instead of 'If'. Can't comment on cards until more are spoiled, but there's some pretty broken possibilities I think.



Pretty good card here too.

I think the "If you do" bit might be in case it dies during your turn, so in that case it wouldn't be shuffled into your deck.

And yes that is a real card, it might be a PVE card though, most of the cards are missing the pvp/pve icon.

Maybe. If the text isn't extremely clear, it's not good. This should be a top priority for any card game.

Equipment is PVE only. Each piece of equipment only affects a certain card. Your Champion has 6 slots for equipment, you equip him and that equipment affects specific cards in your deck.

PVE cards can't be used in PVP but PVP cards can be used in PVE, so PVP cards do have associated equipment.

One of the latest videos has said currently they are at 350 PVP cards (Set 1), 400 PVE cards and 1800 equipment.

I've looked at every card released so far and that is the only one I found confusing so far.

Luckily they don't need to reprint them if there is a mistake... the beauty of digital, they can say "oops, my bad, after X date/etc. we're modifying these cards to say "When" instead of "if" or whatever the case may be


edit: ok cool, thanks Daer

petulant wyldebeest

SERIOUSLY ?!

u mad?

well this ones hilarious at least lol.

Wtf.

I hope they announce sets will go 'out of print' soon. The largest thread on the forums is about debating whether sets should go out of print or all sets remain on sale forever. It blows my mind that people are even arguing for keeping all sets for sale at all times.

God PLZ let them go out of print, will be such a huge mistake to keep them running forever imo

when you say sets do you mean those 250$ packages or whatever?

When I say sets I mean card expansions.

So you wouldnt consider anything at the launch of the game as a set?

The first set is the 350 launch PVP cards. A new set would be released every 4-6months. Every 3 sets make up a block (Set 1, Set 2, Set 3). They said their tournaments will be a 2 block rotation, so basically the latest 6 sets will be tournament legal in the standard format.

So once you get to Set 8 and Set 9 you would basically start to retire the earlier sets and stop selling boosters for them.

PVE cards are separate and would basically never go 'out of print' and just have more added all the time. I doubt PVE cards are released as often as PVP cards, or probably not in the same numbers anyway.

Just calling it Set 1 since it doesn't have a name, although I'm guessing the launch card set will just end up being called Shards of Fate.

Ah I see I thought you meant it would be nice for older players to have an advantage with thier old cards from old sets.

So you're saying you hope they dont sell them forever because if theyre sold it obviously means theyre still in competition?

Is it more because new sets will be more balanced or just for innovation and/or not too many cards possible at once?

Im obviously a beginner to trading cards but should get pretty heavily in hearthstone and hex .

I hope they go out of print so they have some value. If you continue printing all cards forever basically the value of them just keeps going down and down.

This is another reason.

Along with the 2-block rotation, they will have a legacy or 'everything' format where you can continue to use old PVP cards.

So if sets go out of print eventually they will still have some value to collectors and people wanting to play the old format. New players would have to trade for out of print cards or use the AH.

The people on the forums are overwhelmingly in favor of retiring sets but I get a little nervous the longer Cryptozoic goes without definitively saying anything.

Both, since the PVP cards could still be used in PVE plus there will be a PVP format that allows the use of older cards, not just those in the latest 2 blocks.

damn you got me before ninja deleting

Someone should phone the Cryptozoic guy and ask him about retiring sets or at least tell him to hurry up and post it on the forums. Pick a side, we're at war.
