IS THIS A SCAM??

No, most of the game’s ‘investors’ have fucked off so you can actually find product for below MSRP now and single prices keep tanking post release. If you’re not in a hurry you can also stick to buying History Packs (if you’re not a card border autist) or for older sets Unlimited Boxes and Unlimited Singles so playing this game is dirt cheap. Starting with Uprising there will no longer be 1st Edition or Unlimited so if you really want to crack boxes (gamble) for those sweet Cold Foils by all means go for it, but you don't need 1st Edition or Cold Foils unless you want to show off and you don't need Legendary or Fabled cards unless you're wanting to play in high-level tournaments and even then you only need 1 copy of those highest rarity cards.

WHERE DO I START?

The best way to start the game is a Blitz Deck (Young heroes only format). Every hero starting with Prism and below in the QRD has an official deck and here is a helpful Google Doc that has decklists that you can build with bulk: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-CgmIJGwjzJV16L4SjGFeuSM0wX_ngOD/view The price for an official Blitz Deck should be in the range of $10-$15 USD+tax after shipping, anything more and you should probably take your business elsewhere. Once you have the cards, the links in the How To Play section will cover the rest.
If you prefer to try a free simulator instead, your choices are Untap https://untap.in/, Felt Table https://www.felttable.com/fab, or this Tabletop Simulator Mod. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2191845555 (Obviously the latter requires you to purchase Tabletop Simulator on Steam but it goes on sale quite often and there are TONS of other mods you can get.)

HERO QRD (Oldest to Newest) ^ = New Hero!
Ira

Death by a thousand cuts, loves to abuse reactions

Rhinar

Unga Bunga big damage, a bit random however

Bravo

Loves to stall then bounces back with giant attacks that are hard to block

Katsu

High IQ combo plays, sequencing makes or breaks him

Dorinthea

I SWING WEPON

Dash

All gas or all brakes, no in-between

Azalea

Disables: the hero, hard to sequence like Katsu and maybe one day she’ll be good

Viserai

Hybrid Arcane/Physical damage, very combo-oriented but easier than Katsu and Azalea. Also just got hit by a bunch of bans and is no longer legal in Blitz

Kano

Arcane glass cannon, can OTK opponents on their turn if they’re not careful and don’t pack enough Arcane Barrier or Spellvoid or have enough cards left in their hand to pitch

Kayo

Even more random than Rhinar, play if you love RNG deciding how good your hero is

Data Doll

Self-mill with a starting hand of 3 instead of 4, her new specialization is good but still not enough

Kavdaen

Exactly one Merchant equipment exists but this hero is still bad and can only use Generics, including weapons

Benji

Balanced Ira and got TONS of Everfest support, 17 life kind of doesn’t matter anymore with how consistent your damage is now but if you’re that worried run Sigil

Kassai

Like Dorinthea but goes wide like the Ninjas, lots of card draw as well with Cash In and is one of the easiest/budget-friendly heroes to play and actually get results with

Shiyana

Shapeshifter that can use any specialization cards of other heroes and copies the opposing hero + abilities. Literally gets stronger and has new builds every set

Prism

Big but fragile attacks (Phantasm) or full-on control with lots of card draw and fog effects (Auras/Spectra), card pool is finally big enough to where you don’t have to have your foot in both camps. About 150 points from Living Legend in CC so might not be around there for long if she’s decent in July’s RtN season

Boltyn

Doesn’t rely on weapons as much as the other warriors, still has explosive turns like other warriors

Levia

Unga Bunga that uses the graveyard as a resource but can self-damage if not careful

Chane

Hybrid Arcane/Physical that can go very wide or tall and uses Exile as a second hand but self-damages if they don’t sequence correctly. Banned in CC as of 24 June. (Living Legend)

Lexi

Lightning will look to go wide, Ice will look to go tall. Lots of fun interactions and is better than Azalea if you want to go for a Ranger pick

Oldhim

An absolute unit. Tanks like a boss then turns around to deal BIG SOVIET DAMAGE and messes up whatever the opponent thought their next turn would look like

Briar

Lol Plunder Run is banned and if the coof didn’t cancel/postpone some events she would have hit Living Legend in a single season. New build is abusing Channel Mount Heroic for go again attacks big enough to make guardian feel smol

Valda

The general game plan is Seismic Stir into any Crush attack backed by Tear Asunder or Pummel. Then you get to pile on Surges if your opponent is greedy and likes to draw cards (Prism, Ninja, Briar, etc)

Iyslander

Ice Wizard who just got an adult version! A lot more defensive than Kano and will look to play various Ice cards to strip cards from hand, tax the shit out of her opponent, and set up for the kill turn. You will be mostly playing on your turn, save for that arsenal card

Bravo, Star of the Show

How come mom lets you have 3 elements??? lol hit Living Legend (LL) 4 months after being printed, if you have any of his cards they’re still worth keeping when that format becomes a thing as he will still be able to use any Elemental cards printed going forward.

Genis

Merchant is still shit.

Dorinthea, Quicksilver Prodigy ^

Dorinthea with a worse weapon and ability. Don’t bother with Classic Battles unless you find it for under $20-$30 and even then the only card you want other than the Mentor is Glistening Steelblade.

Dromai ^

DRAGON MOMMY WITH HEELS TO STEP ON YOU. Coomershit aside, she seems like a more balanced Prism. Basic gameplan is: pitch Reds to make Ash > convert Ash into Dragon Allies using certain attacks or Invocations (new card type!) > keep swinging with Dragons and hope they can’t pop your Phantasm children. Even though she wants a critical mass of Reds you still have access to lots of tech like Lead the Charge, Exude Confidence, and Chains of Eminence. You could even just go all-in on Invocations splashing Pierce/Passing/LtC/Nourishing Emptiness. Have fun!

Fai ^

Quite possibly the new big bad of the game. So you have the entire Ninja pool to work from with all sorts of ways to draw cards and keep going past chain link 4, then the Draconic kit that lets you draw even more, pump your attacks, and debuff/pop equipment if you wanted. He might not even care about Iyslander since he can run LtC and the Draconic chest with up to 4 Arcane Barrier with Kodachi/Lantern. Literally slices, dices and is coming to a local meta near (You)

WHAT CARDS SHOULD I PICK UP?

Remember that a CC playset is 3 cards, a Blitz playset is 2, and you only need 1 copy of an Equipment card. Even if you don't plan on playing CC picking up 3 copies of a non-Equipment card is still a good idea. All of these cards should be anywhere from a few cents to a dollar each, and the expensive cards are listed at the bottom.
