So let the speculations begin! What do you all think is coming? What questions do you have about the new characters, settings, and mechanics? What wild new decks or combos do you already see?
Currently Revealed Cards 015/137
So the interesting thing about this is that if it's true that leaves one dual gender card for each of four decks possibly? Four two gender decks with one dual gender power card each? but this doesn't take account of special havens or answer what 113 to 137 are. At least four owners.Kaia_Cougar wrote:Card gender breakdown by Number (assumes gender parity is preserved):

I've gotten really good at this when populating my card spreadsheet with new spoilers...
Owners have always actually used a separate numbering scheme. The owner cards that came with the very first set of starter decks were *1 to *4, and for each set, the owner cards have just counted up from there, without any maximum number listed. The last owner in Caramel is *39, so presumably, the first owner in Brundali should be numbered *40, and shouldn't count as part of the 137 regular cards.Triss wrote:So the interesting thing about this is that if it's true that leaves one dual gender card for each of four decks possibly?

I cannot yet speculate how many dual genders there are. I just know that 109-112 might or might not be dual genders, depending on if #28 is male or female.Triss wrote:So the interesting thing about this is that if it's true that leaves one dual gender card for each of four decks possibly?

What else?
As for combos, Asyarhi and Wahid. Helpful Archivist, gently carress, pass the buck ect assorted other herm and male cards to lock down your opponents side, make them temporarily generous and increase their pleasure output in the event someone does manage to get a wall of furries up before you get them out. Then again, if they hit the table you might not need anything else.
Why thank you. ^.^ I made a color coded spreadsheet with rarity symbols that allows me to input how many of each card I have, and also displays a "total" field for any cards that are reprinted by comparing card names in other rows. Though to be honest, I was able to predict so much for two reasons: 1.) Yang is so far down on males, and males always start at #1 2.) A dual gender card was shown, which let me find the maximum number of cards per gender.Magetorment wrote:My my, color me impressed. Digging into the numbers like that using just five cards. Now I'm starting to see how fans are able to extrapolate so much from so little. I'm not going to tell you how right or wrong those numbers are, but I'm impressed with your efforts none the less.
So, why don't we shift the gears of the conversion a bit? Of the revealed characters, who are you most excited to see more of?
So you are basically proving my point here. There are a ton of herm/female characters in the main plot of the story so far yet there are just two males so far? Isn't that exactly my issue that males are taking a back seat to the other genders? You're basically saying that males are there but not important. Also since there are so few important males, that means there will be less male art in the game in general vs the other genders. How exactly is this comment suppose to prove me wrong?The reason you're not seeing any yet is because we are presently covering the main characters and the central plot line of the set.
I think the question may actually be whether this is necessarily a good idea, or at least whether it's a good idea for every set to be arranged this way. I mean, there hasn't actually been a full-size single-gender starter deck since 1st Vanilla, even in the Vanilla sets, which are pretty much the designated place for new players to start, so if you give them a starter deck without enough Home Havens to make an effective single-gender deck (which would include any of the minidecks,) you're kind of forcing their first attempt at creating their own deck to be multi-gender. That's making things more complicated than they need to be, so I'm not sure it's a good choice just in terms of design. And since part of the purpose of the starter decks is to introduce the main characters of each set, I think the rest of the set largely has to follow where the starter decks go.Magetorment wrote:For mechanics reasons the main characters are paired up in duel gendered pairs, meaning none of the pairs are strictly homosexual in the traditional sense.
As long as you keep in mind "equal representation" is only 25%, not 50.Drex wrote: Anyway, liked the post, don't have much else to say about the topic. Hopefully we'll see a bit more equal representation in the future. ^^
I saw that. The shy mechanics seem interesting. I sort of always felt shy wasn't that great of a mechanic in the past. Glad to see it's getting some new uses. As for the art, that's good to hear! I like the art with Fresh Cadet in it that has been shown so far. He's cute.Magetorment wrote:Well in that case Drex I'm happy to report that this set won't disappoint in that regard. Of the male cards in this set, only 2 of them feature non-male characters in the art.
Also new cards added to the spoiler. In addition to the new mechanics Shy is getting some love. We have four more old mechanics making a comeback in a big way. What could they be?
I think I know exactly which one your talking about. :PBy the way, there's at least one Renegade in the set I'd recommend for the Male mirror match.
Based on the first picture in this post, I will guess that one of them is [card]Skeleton Key[/card].Magetorment wrote:On top of that 4 old cards are getting reprinted.
Not necessarily, Strawberry had multi-gender cards but no multi-gender Havens. But come to think of it, when Fortune came out, I kind of wished there wereBlackDragonIV wrote:Assuming 2 of each dual-gender cards, that means at least 6 of those cards will be dual-gender havens, then at least 1 dedicated AP haven.
I think it's high-time to switch it up with some Haven time!Magetorment wrote:Which would you rather see revealed next? The last of the main characters? The cycle Polka pointed out? Or the rest of the havens?
Each Heist starter deck contains a 40-card deck, so the starter set would give you 3 decks and 3 boosters. (a little over 150 cards)BlackDragonIV wrote:I'm going to go off on a limb and say that the Brundali Rail Heist starter deck includes 2-booster each...
So if I were to purchase The Heist Starter Set I would effectively get 3 decks and 9 boosters, correct? (Total of 210 cards)
Huh? That's a shame... Back when I got my Fortune at Vell's End cards, each deck was a 40 cards deck which came with 2 boosters... -- Or atleast I got 2 boosters included with both decks.Seppel wrote:Each Heist starter deck contains a 40-card deck, so the starter set would give you 3 decks and 3 boosters.
