Shadow Era Spoilers: Dark Prophecies #7-8

Technically, this set is three cards, but Kyle has grouped the actual #7 and #8 as one spoil, so I'm doing so as well.

Let me remind/clarify that these card evaluations are done purely on the stance of competitive viability, not how cool or fun you may think they are, as these things are entirely opinionated. If you have this one deck that plays Selfishness and Selfishness is the key that holds your deck together, that's awesome for you. That doesn't mean your deck is good compared to everything else out there and that doesn't mean the individual card is good either.

Previous lists I've posted on this site have been fairly advanced, and also fairly original.

It's time to start filling out the decklist lineup, and simply put, some heroes have had all avenues explored. There's not a whole lot of room for innovation.

After all, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Eladwen burn has been around as long as the game itself in one form or another. It's a staple of the game, and today, I'm going to share my own version of the classic archetype.

Shadow Era: Bluff the Stuff

Psychology is a tricky subject, but it affects every aspect of daily life in some form. After all, the world is what we make of it.

Competition is no exception, and hobby gaming especially. Take chess, for example. Your optimal move might not necessarily be based on game mechanics themselves, but how your opponent will react to your decision. The 'best' move isn't necessarily the right one, whereas an unorthodox play might catch them off their guard.

All tcgs are the same way.

Shadow Era: Boarding School

Shadow Era's regional qualifiers are going on now, one each for the American, European  and Asian circuits. 64 players in each battle it out for three invites to the World Championships 2013. Now, I may be competing in the US circuit, but that hasn't stopped me before from helping out my opponents.

At least I'm the nice kind of crazy.

Boweh Needs a Banner

I'm sponsoring a new art contest over on the Shadow Era forums to redesign the current header for The Boweh. For more details, check out http://www.shadowera.com/showthread.php?19912-New-Art-Contest-Boweh-Needs-a-Banner&p=296270#post296270.

The winner will be announced in a few weeks time and The Boweh will (hopefully) look a whole lot nicer.
