Hi, another thing in THE Card Game is amount of different cards it has and it starts to become harder and harder to get cards what players are really looking for via map's draw system.

Thus it becomes clear that it is time to advance this map to have Pre-Built Decks.

Deck what holds all cards like currently is gonna be called: Jack-of-All-Trades.

This is how deck system currently works.

There is 95% chance for common card to be drawn, 5% for epic card. Everytime common card is drawn it adds 1-3 points towards 15 total points to draw uncommon card. For reference look Revolutional Arts wiki.

are you sure you want to do that? i just don't think that's good for the game's balance.

however, should the decks be really different (a melee deck, an air deck, etc.) or more similar (one has nova, one has dark templar, one has zeratul, etc.)? and does every card belong to one deck or can they be in several?

I do not know how to look like in practice. I do not think this is a good idea. Now the game is well balanced. System for the exchange of cards is works fine, but you're the boss here :)

Jack-of-All-Trades Deck

Common Cards: All 18 different cards.
Uncommon Cards: All 14 different cards.
Epic Cards: All 17 different cards.

This deck has every card. Good for beginners who want to experiment with all cards.

Random Deck

Common Cards: Random
Uncommon Cards: Random
Epic Cards: Random

Description: This deck is not reliable, picks 25 (15/7/3) random cards. Also can make fun all random matches if everyone agrees to it.

Defense Deck

Common Cards: All 18 cards.
Uncommon Cards: Missile Turret, Spore Crawler, Supply Depot.
Epic Cards: Jackson's Revenge, Ultralisk

Description: This deck focuses on defending base.

Something to note: Most decks are unlocked with exp. This way there is more motivation for some gamers to keep unlocking them. :)

Yeah at least over time there will be more. :)

There will be more decks indeed.

Hmm, Vbulletin bugged and posted this reply to wrong place. :)

these are just examples, so there will be more than 3 decks, right?

edit: if you're going through with this deck idea (which i don't recommend btw), could you add cards that are only available at higher levels? that would make the ranking system a little more important.

I don't think the game is ready yet, with the normal deck including all cards from before you still got everything you wanted fast enough, but playing with -fo instance the defensive - deck really limits you, it seems like you can spawn only turrets, ultralisks and Jacksons. Maybe you want to include more cards and more diverse decks, or you allow to buy cards with experience points, but have an limited number of cards you can have in one deck so that its fairly balanced even for beginners and it is more like a skill tree.

it would be cool to make your own decks ^^
like you have 2min to select your units and that save it
but i think this is not possible right? ^^

btw. i need a Raven
& Medic
& somthing like a depo thats gives you somthing
& you must defend it or attack
& 10% longer Lane
& make it noob friendlyer like
do not counter a Sniper with 1hydra & 2Mutas
or a Scout with 1 Voids & Mass Brood Lord
or a Firebat with zergling

somthing like a 1vs1 Guide when you Press F12
Sniper owns Marine/Marauder /Brood Lord/Baneling /Hydralisk/Mutalisk /Scout
or use hp boost on Scourge to beat a scout
or speed boost on Baneling to beat a Stalker/immortal or attack boost to beat a Firebat/Thor/Hybrid

Make the Game easy to learn hard to master

Something to note: Most decks are unlocked with exp. This way there is more motivation for some gamers to keep unlocking them. :)

Using exp is definitively a bad idea, you know why.. x)

I like the pre-made deck idea but it'll probably unbalance the game.
For example, Random deck allows you to have with higher chance a rare card (like archon or jackson) with 2 or more elite + medivacs. Nearly Invincible. (this sometimes occurs in the current games). Or a base surronded by 7 depots, 4 spore, 5 turrets, because the 3 guys choose defense decks.

Making our own deck like magic the gathering would be great (with some limits of course), but maybe impossible technically ~~
