Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

Gaining Momentum

Poe played with the Machine deck (yellow cards), a balanced deck with debilitating tricks and power ups such as stuns. He got to go first in our battle, marking the first time I didn’t get to make the first move. It is advisable to check the creature Poe has played and avoid combat with any that has a stun power up activated by flipping a single gem. When you do attack such a creature, be sure to throw in some tricks to be sure you destroy it. A stunned creature essentially loses a turn, and it cannot defend against attack, making for quick scores for your opponent.

Beating Poe brought Ralsu to level four and won him a striped tee shirt. Having won against Poe proved I was ready for a real challenge, so he asked me to run about town checking the yellow flower pots for the cards he had hidden. These were his best cards, and beating his best deck would prove I was the future leader of the new CC.

Once I had the cards in hand, we jumped into another duel. Poe got to go first again, and this time he had the hero card of himself. The bigger problem was his Security Bot card, which would stun an opposing creature any time a single green jewel flipped. I got around it by leaving the Security Bots alone until I had really powerful creatures and tricks to throw at them. Sure, it meant Poe got some free points on me, but I was kicking his but in the other two slots. Winning the battle got me some cards and a duelist’s Nature cap.

Poe was pretty excited by my potential and asked me to go tell Bry in Lakeshore about the new CC. Bry wanted to teach a whole group of budding card duelists, so I had to run about Lakeshore recruiting students. For my efforts, Ralsu got a set of striped sandals.

Once she had a whole class as a captive audience, Bry was ready to duel with me. She used a Chaos deck with a lot of stuns, and her Bry hero card would allow her to zap a Chaos ally to destroy one of my scored cards. The combination of stuns and destroying cards I had scored kept things tight, but I prevailed, bringing Ralsu to card duelist level six and earning a hoodie.

My strong play convinced Bry that I had a shot of forming a new CC, so she asked me to pick up some supplies in order to throw a celebration party. I obtained cheesy poofs from Glerga in the Robgoblin camp to the north, and I traveled to Shrouded Glade to fetch Misty Mountain Fizz from Perci Periweather.

With the refreshments in place, Bry thought the only thing the party was missing was entertainment. To that end, she challenged me to another duel with her tournament deck. I had already seen her best strategies, so I overcame her the second time. Ralsu was now a level seven card duelist and he had a new pair of small stitched pants.
