Report on Orientation

[Worlder]

I posted this on the chaoticgame forums but it turned out badly due to the censor and BB code not working right.

The following will be discussed:

Attack cards
Battlegear cards
Location cards
Mugic cards

Attack cards
You see the Attack deck can either be stat orientation, elemental orientation, or both.

Stat orientation involves having attack cards that work cooperatively with one or more stats that your creatures excel at. However, stat orientation can be further subdivided into checks or challenges. Checks as you know only requires your creature to meet a requirement, whereas a challenge requires your stat that is being compared to be greater than your opponent by a certain amount. Checks are good if you feel that you aren't sure what stats your opponent may have, thus you don't want your any failed attacks. But if you feel that one of your stats will be higher than your opponents in this amount, challenges maybe the way to go and will usually tend deal more damage than checks. Also if one stocks attack cards that lowers a certain stat or have creatures that have "Intimidate", then challenge cards should be complementary to it as it would take advantage of the lowered stat of the opponent.

Elemental orientation involves having attack cards that center around a particular element or elements. If you have creatures that usually have this element, get attack cards that correspond to that element.

Battlegear cards
Alright battlegear cards can either be used to enchance or supplement your creatures.

When I mean "enhancing", I mean using the battlegear so that it builds upon an already high stat of a creature, a creature already that possess a certain element, or just adding more Mugic counters. This is good for challenge attack cards as it will make a certain stat so high that the opponent will be several multiples of five lower than yours. Also it is good for uni-elemental armies, for if your elemental oriented attack cards will deal even more ***. Alright I don't think I need to explain the mugic counter addition.

Alright as for supplementing, it is basically making up for the weakness in your creatures stats or broading the range of elements that your creatures can use. Supplementing for stats are good if you wish to pack check attack cards on stats that your creatures are deficient, thus if the battlegear raises a certain stat to the check requirement, there would be a more efficient use of attack cards since your creature will at least cause minimal damage with them. Also supplementing for stats can increase the chances of negating a challenge attack by your oppent for your stats be just be high enough for it to fail. Then there is the elemental supplementing. If a battlegear allows your creature to have an element that it doesn't already possess you may want to equip that onto that creature. Not only does it allows you to use more different attack cards, but also take greater advantage of cards that have two or more elements. Finally of course use battlegear that adds mugic counters to mugiclow creatures.

Location cards
There is very little to tell on location cards, it is either initiative or effects.

Initiative, you attack first that is always what to do.

Effects, you may wish to lower your opponent's energy, raise yours, enchance elemental attacks, limit mugc use etc.

Mugic cards
Alright Mugic is can be used in four ways, Offensive, Defensive, AntiMugic or combinations.

Offensive is good if you wish to finish you opponent early and that you are sure that your energy won't be easy to take down.

Defensive is good if your creature starts out with a low energy level or that your opponent is blasting you with hard attacks, or offensive mugic.

AntiMugic is good if you face a Mugic tough opponent. Use Mugic to cancel their mugic, steal their mugic, return to opponent or destroy their mugicstrong creatures.

However, these are only strategies that allow your deck to work in sync. The real factors that decide victory, is luck of the draw and your decisions on what creature to attack or what attack to use.
