Shadow Era

I have been playing Shadow Era for a while now. It is a free-to-play online collectible trading card game. It is pretty easy to play but quite hard to master I suppose. You would need to adjust your deck and strategies constantly to keep up with new updates and cards. The card art is pretty decent. I actually like them a lot but most people think the art is not up to par with some of the more know TCG-games like Magic:The Gathering and Poxnora. Maybe they are and maybe they are not but I certainly think most people will prefer this art over the commercial Yu-gi-Oh, Pokémon and Bakugan cards. 


This game has both pros and cons so I will try to list a few here:


PROS


- Nice card graphics
- Reliable publisher
- Avaible on multiple platforms
- Smooth gameplay
- Very nice music
- Suitable and easy-to-use interface
- Possible to obtain crystals through offers (for now) 
- Obtaining crystals through leveling is possible
- Decent leveling curve
- Reasonable AI opponents
- Multi-player matches are possible
- Looks very nice on the iPad


CONS


- No multi-deck saving
- Low amount of gold per win
- No trading or gifting possible
- No auction house
- Repetitive
- Not being able to choose your opponent in the multi-player interface
- No weapons for Humans for now
- No full-screen browser-based option
- Lags on the iPod at times


I am sure there are more but these are the few that popped in my head right now. I started my game with the Zhanna Mist Priest Deck which was not bad at all for a starter deck. I usually play Priests in MMORPG so I decided to go with that. After I discovered there were wolves in this TCG I must have them. I recently managed to get to 100 Crystals and bought myself a Wulven Starter Deck. I am currently using Moonstalker.

Does he not look adorable? He is not one of the best heroes but since I am not aiming to do much multi-player games I could not care less. I just want to collect the cards I like ^__^ the only one I will be fighting against is probably my precious Senpai who is currently playing around with his new awesome Hunter deck. If you are new to TCG in general I suggest to try out this game. Easy to get started and fun to play when you are bored. I hope I will be able to play more soon but I have so much going on. A match between activities is pretty fun for now so let's hope I can make some progress.
