Caught the Scent seems laughably overpriced. Actually I guess all discard effects seem overpriced in this game, considering how easy it is to draw cards.
The Great Unclean One though... O_O I don't even need to put that in my battlefield for it to be worth it's cost.
While it's not a preview or anything, apparently Regional Championships are coming. Locations are going to be announced on March 22'nd, and are supposed to be run between April 30'th and June 30'th.
There *will* be a Worlds Championship at GenCon Indy this year, too.

I love this game so much. Sadly nobody in my group has any interest in it at all. Years of magic has trained them to think in certain terms which W:I strictly goes against.

I'm assuming it's because it requires actual *thought*, which they have trouble with.
And I've also had shit poor luck getting my magic addict friends to play this. They'd rather pay 200$ for a play set of the new Jace Planewalker or that M10 angel.

That's like insulting Babe Ruth because Barry Bonds hit 13 more HRs than him.
Not cool.
Probably should have been clearer. Have no problem with Magic itself, just that every player I've met IRL has been one I wish I could launch into the sun for the good of humanity.

Naw, it has nothing to do with one being harder than the other. It just has to do with certain habits they have in magic which are against the rules in W:I. So they just prefer what was familiar.
Ironically enough, none of them play magic anymore.

So I'm interested in this, but the fact that nobody around me really plays CCGs anymore makes it not a very good investment.
Hopefully FFG will one day put their LCG games in an online format, preferably with the new distribution format of 3 for every card, including the old sets. They'd definitely get my money then.

Honestly, if you are the only person who buys it, it still works out. That's what I've done, although I may get a friend or two to enjoy it enough to make their own purchase.
If you have the core pack, you just follow the rules in that. Each person picks a race which is 40 cards, then gets 10 random neutrals.
If you start getting expansions, what I've done is make a deck for each race. Some of them have neutrals, some don't. Then when I play with a friend I just give them their deck which I feel has maximized that races abilities.
I don't get to do any really interesting, cross race deck building because, well, that's sort of a dick move. "I want to play Orc" "Ok, I'm playing my Orc/Chaos deck, and I've already taken all the good cards out of Orc. Sorry bud."
But hopefully those days will soon be over because I think I've gotten my friends intrigued enough to buy their own sets.
Well, my friends aren't really game players. I mean heck, their eyes glaze over if the rules for a board game are more than a page long.
My only shot at playing is basically random strangers interested in it at my FLGS.
The thing that attracts me about LCGs is in a way I can just treat them like board games with lots of expansions. The problem is CCGs still tend to be mired in lots of rules and errata and of course people having to learn every single card to know what comes up. Unless W:I's rules are somehow very simple.
Honestly, my girlfriend thinks W:I is more rule heavy than Magic. I don't know. I played Magic back in the 4th Edition/Ice Age era. She played it only 3 or 4 years ago.
I think it might be a learning thing. A lot of W:I is very opposite to the way Magic does things. Also, playing Magic in elementary and middle school probably means we fudged a lot of the rules.
But yeah, W:I does have errata. Mostly it seems to revolve around a few principles though. It constantly clarifies that certain things are keywords that aren't immediately obvious. For example, a lot of keywords get bolded on the cards, like action and forced, or maybe italicized like battlefield only. However, other words, like target, just get printed like normal words. So a lot of people take the common sense "Oh, anything that is causing an effect on anything else is targeting it" when in reality, it has to specifically use the target keyword in the effect description.
The other thing that gets hammered home in the errata is that the phases of gameplay are discrete, uninterruptable events. For example combat has 5 phases. Declare your intent to attack a capital section, declaring who is attacking, declaring who is defending, assigning where you would like the damage to go, and then committing the damage where you assigned it.
But none of these things get undone, no matter what changes along the way.
So for example, you have assigned damage. It is a discrete step, and now its been finished. Then someone uses an ability that returns something you were killing to their hand. Your first instinct might be to go "Oh, well he's not around to take the damage anymore, so it flows through to the capitcal", but thats not true. You assigned damage to him. You don't get to move it because he's not around anymore. There are no take backs, no matter what. Literally half the errata seems to revolve around people asking if they get to take actions back once the targets become invalid, and the answer is always "No".

The Great Unclean One though... O_O I don't even need to put that in my battlefield for it to be worth it's cost.
I can't wait until the next cycle of battle packs comes around so that you don't have to mess with buying multiples of the same pack.
Oh yea, that will be great.

It's time for the Deathmaster's Dance spoiler! (From the thread over on the FFG Forums.)
I do believe a "lol wut" is required in regards to Juvenile Wyvern.

I'm assuming it's because it requires actual *thought*, which they have trouble with.
There's only one thing you can do now.

And I've also had shit poor luck getting my magic addict friends to play this. They'd rather pay 200$ for a play set of the new Jace Planewalker or that M10 angel.
Dude... don't knock Magic.
That's like insulting Babe Ruth because Barry Bonds hit 13 more HRs than him.
Not cool.
Probably should have been clearer. Have no problem with Magic itself, just that every player I've met IRL has been one I wish I could launch into the sun for the good of humanity.

Up till now we've been sharing the core pack and expansions I've bought.
Did some digging around the GenCon Indy page, and here's what is on tap for it.

Hopefully FFG will one day put their LCG games in an online format, preferably with the new distribution format of 3 for every card, including the old sets. They'd definitely get my money then.

Honestly, if you are the only person who buys it, it still works out. That's what I've done, although I may get a friend or two to enjoy it enough to make their own purchase.
If you have the core pack, you just follow the rules in that. Each person picks a race which is 40 cards, then gets 10 random neutrals.
If you start getting expansions, what I've done is make a deck for each race. Some of them have neutrals, some don't. Then when I play with a friend I just give them their deck which I feel has maximized that races abilities.
I don't get to do any really interesting, cross race deck building because, well, that's sort of a dick move. "I want to play Orc" "Ok, I'm playing my Orc/Chaos deck, and I've already taken all the good cards out of Orc. Sorry bud."
But hopefully those days will soon be over because I think I've gotten my friends intrigued enough to buy their own sets.
My only shot at playing is basically random strangers interested in it at my FLGS.
The thing that attracts me about LCGs is in a way I can just treat them like board games with lots of expansions. The problem is CCGs still tend to be mired in lots of rules and errata and of course people having to learn every single card to know what comes up. Unless W:I's rules are somehow very simple.
