I don't how much of an advantage the first player has when actually playing, but in theory it doesn't sound inbalanced. Quote:

The other Japanese card game I am playing, Lycèe, does that a lot better IMO. Every artwork is done by various artists specially for the card game and only some special cards have official artworks. That way, the design is rather consequent, not to mention you have a lot of pretty arts you've never seen before (though that may vary due to personal likes and dislikes since there are quite a lot of different artists). |

Wow, I'm amazed with the boom in activity within the past few days.
Don't forget, when you are being attacked. When you draw the number of cards equal to the soul of the card attacking you. If you draw a climax, all of that damage is canceled. (Sorry if this is a repeat.) When I was playing with a Nanoha StrikerS deck (focusing on Nanoha using Starlight Breaker as her Climax with Vivio as support). In a turn where I could have finished the game, I had 28 soul damage in total to deal out and all of it was canceled . Quote:

Yes thats what i meant. 2 boxes isn't enough to complete the set though. I still had to buy singles.
Anyway, i choose these 2 because i liked most of the characters in the 2 series since WS is basically a character battle game. I thought of buying Nanoha but i only like Fate so it not that convincing. But i heard Nanoha decks are pretty strong. |

Yup, that is true. With 3 Ace of Ace Nanoha in front, 2 Vivio as support, climax Starlight Breaker. You can deal out at least 15 soul if you have enough stock and each Ace of Ace Nanoha will have at least 8000 power, if I'm right. This combination is awesome however, getting this combination it will cost you the same amount as a booster box at most.

Looking through my collection yesterday I realized I don't seem to actually have the expensive Kotomi card (I have a poster with that image hanging on my wall and have every other Kotomi card so I guess my memory got confused, heh), but I do have a foil version of the expensive Fuuko card. I also have a couple Nanoha and DCII promo cards from Megami Magazine that I'd just casually tossed aside but apparently they're worth more than almost any card in an actual set.
Is buying single cards instead of packs worth it for this game? Can that Nanoha combo be activated reliably enough to build your deck around it or is it some random thing that may just happen once in a while? In Magic there's typically 1-2 cards out of 15 in a pack that are considered playable in a high level deck, and many of them are cheap commons, so it's obviously a pretty terrible value opening packs most of the time. What's the average number of playable cards per pack of WS? |

http://www.amiami.com/shop?set=engli...ate=index.html here is a place to start. I have never bought anything over the internet as of now, however I'm tempted to do so.

I bought my trial deck at Little Akiba, http://www.littleakiba.com/store/. Little Akiba and the Figure mall share the same space http://www.thefiguremall.com/. Little Akiba is a nice place to hang out.

How big a difference is there between the "pretty good" cards and the rest? Does the luck aspect make basically anything at least slightly playable or are there absolute garbage cards that you'd never consider playing under any circumstances? I actually prefer that such cards do exist as they are great skill-testers among other reasons (i.e. someone with skill knows enough to not play them). |

It depends on your strategy and what chacteristics your going for. For me I have three characteristics types I can rely on, Dragon, Weapon and Magic. In my opinion luck isn't 100% random; it's depends on the circumstances, preparation, what you have available and how to take action with what you have. If your deck is focused on lvl 0s, you will deal less damage than higher lvl card but you can play them easily and not worry about stock so much. The higher the level, you have to consider stock but you will have more power or better effects to use in the game. In short yes, if you don't prepare your deck properly, you'll most likely lose. The skill is in preparing and figuring out the probability events happen. For example, the probability of dealing out 20 soul damage in one turn. It's quite unlikely but it does happen if you have the right cards being played at the right time and your opponent doesn't draw a climax during the damage/attack phase.
