Chaotic Card of the Week-April 30

Welcome to my second week of Chaotic Card of the Week! This week's card is Lomma:

Card Text: Defender Water 5 The first attack against THIS each combat deals 10 less damage.

Tribe: OverWorld

Courage: 55

Power: 50

Wisdom: 60

Speed: 35

Energy: 40

Elements: [Water]

Right off the bat you should see that Lomma is a fairly decent creature. She is a strictly better version of Intress, except for 20 speed, but seriously, it doesn't matter. Lomma was another front runner in another codemaster deck from the New York Comic Con. Lomma really does work out great in an elemental and wisdom based deck. Her defender allows you to pick and choose who gets to fight instead of your opponent, and we all know how fun it is to mess with your opponent ;).

Defender? Not bad. Water 5? Nice. The first attack dealing 10 less damage? Amazing! Lomma will be a great addition to many overworld decks, and she will probably find her way in to the metagame somewhere in the future.

I remember reading a post on the forums about there not being enough girl creatures, but with Lomma, I think things even themselves out a little bit.

Building on a Budget

Hello, and welcome to a new article type which I hope will be a recurring theme :). I am going to post show you a deck list which doesn't rely on "many" expensive cards like the big four. Most of these will not be decks that can compete against the "chaor, bloot, and beyond!" deck, but they should still function somewhat.

Here is the first deck: Fire Strike
This was one of my first decks which got me into the top 100. I am sure it is harder to get into the top 100 now, but it still should do alright for what it is.

Biondu/Viledriver---Biondu/Viledriver
Tianne/Prism of Vacuity

Attacks:
2x Ember Swarm
2x Flame Orb
2x Flash Kick
2x Incinerase

2x Inferno Gust
2x Spirit Gust
2x Squeeze Play
2x Steam Rage
2x Torrent of Flame
2x Ash Torrent

Locations:
2x Cordac Falls
1x Cordac Falls Plungepool
1x Glacier Planes
2x Lava Pond
2x Mipedim Desert
2x Underworld Colosseum

Mugic:
2x Fanfare of the Vanishing
1x Melody of Mirage

This deck is an easier to make version of the Brathe/Mudeenu deck.

Chaotic Card of the Week-April 23

Welcome to my first installment of Chaotic Card of the Week :)

This week's card is Garv!

Card Text: [1MC]: Flip target Battlegear face-up or face-down. Unique

Tribe: OverWorld

Courage: 50

Power: 25

Wisdom: 75

Speed: 30

Energy: 55

At first, you can see that he is an alright creature, but you don't really see him getting actual play time. First impressions are often deceiving!

I once thought that, but I learned a lot from my trip to the New York Comic Con. Obviously Garv isn't a front lines creature meant to battle, but he is a great support creature. Allow me to let you in on a little secret ;).

Garv's battlegear of choice would be the Orb of Foresight, or the Flux Bauble. Because both battlegear only say "At the beginning of combat" it doesn't specify that it has to be the combat that that creature is in. With Garv's ability, you can flip this battlegear face-up at the beginning of the match, so you will be setting up your attacks or locations for the rest of the match. That just may be the edge you need to take down the competition!

Starting Post

I thought that making a post to talk about Chaotic strategy and upcoming released would be a great idea :).
