The first game was pretty casual, nothing too special and I managed to win.<\/p>\n<p>The second game would be a different story though.  It started out pretty normal but we were unusually taking each others guys out.  Our &#8216;burn piles&#8217; were stacking up quickly.  Eric ended up having me in check twice.  I ended up getting out of that mess by laying down the &#8220;Seer Vizak&#8217;s Calamity&#8221; 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&#8217;t hit them with a normal attack and needed some magic.<\/p>\n<p>So, I saved up my Mana and with a smirk on my face I placed down the &#8220;Sciondar Fire God&#8221; for 9 Mana.  Well, I learned tonight that a comment on the card &#8220;Destroy Sciondar Fire God if he is on a Biolith Field&#8221; 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 \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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 <strong>one hour and ten minutes<\/strong> it was over.  Eric won.<\/p>\n<p>Nice job Eric!!  Notice in the picture that we went <strong>40 turns<\/strong>!!  Wow!!<\/p>\n<p>If you have a PS3 I would highly suggest this game.  I&#8217;ve never been a card game type besides poker but this is a lot of fun!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/keanen.com\/blog\/wp-photos\/20080304-041401-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/keanen.com\/blog\/wp-photos\/thumb.20080304-041401-1.jpg\" alt=\"img207.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eric and I played a couple of games of EOJ tonight.
