Weiβ Schwarz / Weiss Schwarz TCG
Hello everyone,
Does anyone else in AnimeSuki forums play Weiβ Schwarz? If you do play Weiβ Schwarz, perfect, because I can't find anyone who plays Weiβ Schwarz (in Victoria, Canada). If you have no idea what Weiβ Schwarz is and your interested. excellent. Weiβ Schwarz is a trading card game with the literal meaning White Black. Weiβ Schwarz as of now has various anime, manga, game series as themes such as Fate/Stay Night, Nanoha StrikerS, Zero no Tsukaima, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu, Lucky Star and Little Busters/EX -- For more info hop in here. http://ws.nk-ds.org/index.php/about/ For rules on Weiβ Schwarz visit http://ws.nk-ds.org/index.php/about/. I made a facebook group to connect players, set up matches and possibly organize tournaments. The group already has a 3 players in Malaysia and again is for anyone to join and play. A link to the facebook group is in my signature. As of now I'm playing with Nanoha StrikerS themed trial deck. In the future, I'm hoping to create another deck focusing on Nanoha StrikerS (with Subaru and Teana). Lets make this thread the current official Weiβ Schwarz thread. A link to the first thread on Weiβ Schwarz http://forums.animesuki.com/showthre...hlight=Schwarz

I have no cards, but I am kind of interested.
ATM I'm thinking about getting something like two trial decks for testing the game out. However, I am hesitating to buy the Japanese ones because the first trial deck is already available in English. I'd prefer English cards so I don't know if I should wait or not (since the other cards might or might not get translated). |

I have several cards from the Clannad sets but none of them seem to be translated yet and they're listed as "extra packs" on the site so I have no idea if I could even make a deck with just them.
I hope they plan to release more in English. Not a fan of Disgaea at all and it'd be pretty awkward to have to reference a translation sheet every time anyone plays a card. I'd do it but sadly my friends are not as patient. |

Whether it'd be a good deck is another question. ^^ Quote:
I haven't played Disgaea yet (but I plan to), so I don't know any characters and therefore I'd rather not buy it now. As for translations... well, I am playing another Japanese card game and even succeeded in convincing some friends to play it, too with help of translations. Even when some of them were hesitant in the beginning, they quickly got used to it (since you remember all card texts after a while). Also, decks in Weiß Schwarz TCG have a lot less different cards so it should be quite easy to play even without being able to understand Japanese. |

Well, the main factor is luck followed by how you prepare your deck. A trial deck can win against a "loaded" deck (worth $150 Canadian or > $400 Ringgit). In malaysia at Comic Fiesta 2009, someone with a trial Nanoha StrikerS deck, like I'm using, came in top 5 if I'm right. The first season made me think, "what the hell!?". The second season survive looks promising since they finally have a few Nanoha StrikerS, Fate/Stay Night and DC. If anyone is interested, I want to try playing Weiss Schwarz over the internet. One thing for sure is, we'll need a webcam and a lot of patience. Go to the facebook group in my signature, at the moment the group is mainly Malaysian.

Hmmm it looks like this game lacks non-character cards (i.e trap cards for Yu-Gi-Oh or mission/command cards for Gundam War). Looks a little too much on the simple side for my tastes.
Oh wait found them, they're called climax cards. Alright starting to look a little more interesting now. The card power levels seem a little on the random side though. Last edited by Kaioshin Sama; 2010-01-25 at 04:48. |

I guess this would technically benefit me as I don't plan to spend a ton of time and money on this game but I still prefer to feel as though it was my skill rather than my luck that won me the game. Speaking of loaded decks though, do you have a link to a price guide for this? I doubt any of the cards I have are valuable but I'd like to check just in case. |

What is your focused series? Quote:
Luck can be placed in many forms, preparation for an event or so forth. I jumped for Weiss Schwarz because of Nanoha StrikerS ha ha and with the movie cards coming out. I'm thinking of buy a large booster pack for StrikerS and extra packs for Nanoha The Movie First. I don't know any price guide sites. I'm assuming, your best bet is to look for a Japanese website with the price of each card. Oh yes, if you look at the bottom card, you can tell if it's a Rare card, Trial Deck card, Common card, etc.

The way you say it sounds like the English TCG will get series the Japanese did not/will not get. That said, I think if Weiß Schwarz gets completely translated and localized in the US, it would be a 1:1 port. And that is actually also what I am hoping for. Quote:

As for design, I am - to be honest - a bit disappointed. While a lot of cards look good and use official artwork, sometimes they seem like "screenshots", if you get what I mean. Like a character card of Tohsaka Rin in which she actually is being held by Berserker and blowing his head with her jewels away. That's a artwork I'd use for something like an event card, but not for a character card... Quote:
However, I think I will still try it out. My expectations aren't that high, actually; this will probably be a card game I'll play every now and then with few friends just for fun. I doubt that I'd want to play on any competitive level. Quote:

Her effect is: "When this card played from your hand to the stage, draw 1 card and choose 1 card in your hand to discard to the waiting room." /e: In short, she is probably good since this game seems to be based a lot on your luck and cards like these help to decrease your need for luck. /e²: Wow, and her rarity is only common if I am not mistaken? That's kind of... crazy. xD |

I've read more or less everything and it sure sounds interesting (I've played Magic and still playing Yugioh, so WS concepts aren't too different in some instances, but radically different at times).
However, few things are ticking me a bit: 1) is there any method to increase your stock cards aside of card effects? As far as I can see, the lvl0 cards are quite cheap, but often without any effect. But some of them still have a special ability that require at least 1 stock. So how are you supposed to use their abilities? I must have missed something I guess. 2) if I read correctly, encore is basically the same as MtG "regenerate" except you can have it on any character, should you have 3 stocks, right? (unless you pay it cheaper with a card effect) 3) Regarding the attacks, can you declare an attack against your opponent's backline if they have no frontline, or are you forced to perform a direct attack here? As for the side attacks, do you have to minus the soul damage with only 1 of the frontline characters, or all of them? (assuming the opponent has 2 frontline characters and 1 border free). I guess I will have more questions in the future...

Although, wow, I can't believe a common is worth that amount unless it's a limited edition or long out of print. Would definitely explain why I have 3 out of just a few packs though. |

Interesting as the game pretty much encourage attacking switfly, yet it will cost dearly with reckless attacks. Though, doesn't it mean that the player who goes first has an overwhelming advantage? He would definitely get a free trigger with a +1 soul damage. Even though it will be a lvl0, that is bluntly a severe blow. Quote:
From my perspective, it seems the rest mode is just there to prevent a card to attack a second time and/or after using an effect that require the character to be tapped.
