I think it was a spam-bot putting together words from the earlier posts or related stuff.  But oddly, no links in the text or profile, no sig, etc... so I don't actually know for sure ;)  Main clues are: only 1 post, oblivious to several pages of previous discussion.

One step closer to http://xkcd.com/810/ , I suppose.

Indeed. That XKCD is one of the better ones, and we seem to be getting there :P

I assumed it was a Shadow Era bot, sent out into the world to promote Shadow Era on forums which had mentioned magic, free to play and CCGs.  ;)

Has anyone here tried the latest version? (1.700)

I haven't had the time to try it at home with the downloaded client, but the Android client is pretty much broken as far as the deck builder and the new drag 'n drop gaming style goes. Cards get left behind, dragged to wrong places, and overlap crazily in the Android version.

Yeah, drag and drop is iffy on iOS. I think it was better without it which is kind of sad =|. Usually when devs add touch enhancements it works better, guess this is one case where it doesn't.

Thankfully, the old method is still intact, so not such a big deal. Just hope the fix it ;)

More gameplay here. Also, drag and drop is now fixed. Unfortunately, the deck builder is now broken on mobile devices (works fine on desktop though).

So...I dunno how many of you guys are still playing this but...I think I've officially taken my deck too far.


Kairos, the Unstoppable Force and the Immovable Object.


Sidenote for non players: In Shadow Era, 3 damage is much, 4 is impressive and 5 is downright scary. Heroes usually have around 26-28 health total. My hero is Elementalis.


Explanation of cards and terms:
Kairos base card
Steadfast: This ally cannot be removed unless killed.
Blackened Heart: This ally is immune to abilities activated with shadow energy and when directly targeted by other abilities, the hero loses 2 Shadow Energy.
Assumed Command: This ally and all allies you control cannot be removed unless killed. This ally has +1 Health.
Mindless Ferocity: This ally has +2 attack and cannot activate active abilities.
Flesh Infusion: This ally has +1 attack for every attachement it has.

I think you made that card properly named.

Upon completing that combo it should replace the main card's image with:

Well, in short I can say that if any opponent actually lets me get away with doing that, they deserve what is coming. :D

Not just cheese, The Big Cheese ;)

And yes, the opponent would have only one person to blame, and it wouldn't be you.
