Eric and I played a couple of games of EOJ tonight. The first game was pretty casual, nothing too special and I managed to win.
The second game would be a different story though. It started out pretty normal but we were unusually taking each others guys out. Our ‘burn piles’ were stacking up quickly. Eric ended up having me in check twice. I ended up getting out of that mess by laying down the “Seer Vizak’s Calamity” card which flipped every element on the board. This killed a guy for each of us and really weakened the guys that he had me in check with. I was able to wipe out a couple more of his characters and then he laid down two water element cards which were very elusive. I couldn’t hit them with a normal attack and needed some magic.
So, I saved up my Mana and with a smirk on my face I placed down the “Sciondar Fire God” for 9 Mana. Well, I learned tonight that a comment on the card “Destroy Sciondar Fire God if he is on a Biolith Field” was bad news!! I placed him on the Biolith field thinking there was some sort of bonus if he killed this guy but soon found that I died right away!! All that Mana and a stud card down the drain 🙁
I found myself without anymore magic in my deck. I managed to drag out the game for another 8 turns or so until Eric put the finishing moves on me.
I was left with two cards in my hand and only six cards left in my deck if that gives you an idea of the length of this game. After one hour and ten minutes it was over. Eric won.
Nice job Eric!! Notice in the picture that we went 40 turns!! Wow!!
If you have a PS3 I would highly suggest this game. I’ve never been a card game type besides poker but this is a lot of fun!!
