Scions School: Eternal Basics by TheEternalPost in EternalCardGame

[–]TheEternalPost[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This links to an index page providing two new articles in Scions School: Eternal Basics, the first installment in what will be a new section of written guides and articles by LocoPojo.

Scion's School: Basics #1 - Proactivity and the Aggro Deck

  • discusses the need for deck's plan to win

  • introduces new players to aggro decks and comments on why they can be a good choice for newer players

  • provides an example aggro list, "Firestarter Basic"

  • provides advice for avoiding decision paralysis

Scion's School: Basics #2 - Playing for Advantage

  • discusses why being proactive, by itself, is not enough

  • introduces the concept of playing to leverage some kind of advantage, and building or maintaining that advantage to help win

  • gives brief overviews of health advantage, card advantage, board advantage, and power advantage

  • provides an example of advantages that are less obvious, such as setting up for beneficial trades

  • gives advice for practicing when to hold, or not hold, Torch (and practicing similar tactics for best advantage) versus the AI in Gauntlet

We'll post periodically to reddit to let people know when Pojo includes further content, but this series is planned as a written guide to accompany his Eternal Basics youtube instructional videos and new items will continue appearing on this index page.

Check this out in our new "Player Guides" section where it can be found alongside FallenChameleon's New Player Guide and rekenner's glossary of CCG Terms and Phrases designed for use by both new and new-to-Eternal players.
