Set 3 Preview - P3TS

4/21/2008 5:25:35 PM

Set one was about setting the stage for the iTCG. Set two, “OMG Bosses!” was about the biggest creatures in the game. Today, we begin previews for set three, “P3ts.” In MapleStory iTCG, the pet cards represent your small animal friends that can pack a big punch.

Set 3 Announcement - P3TS

4/2/2008 10:35:41 AM

Set 3 is all about pets, and with exclusive online pets available only through codes found in the MapleStory iTCG, players will be on the hunt for these rare pets. Players will also be eager to find special weapons that they can upgrade multiple times as their bond with their pet grows.

Set 2 Card Preview - Nova - the Mastermind Thief

2/6/2008 12:02:05 PM

Nova is among the most versatile characters in the game. There are four characters in OMG Bosses!, one for each class, and each has an ability that is new to the game. Nova, a Thief, has a unique put-into-play ability. Her Mastermind skill allows you to play a Weapon, Strategy or Undead card of your level or less. Couple Mastermind with an early Quest and a punishing damage skill, and you have the beginning of an amazing deck.

Set 2 Card Preview - Papa Pixie

1/31/2008 9:58:49 AM

Today’s card is very simple, despite all of that rules text. Looking at the text on the card image, you will read thirty-five words, more text than has ever appeared on a Maple Story card before. Let me make it really simple: Papa Pixie’s Time Warp is thirty-five words of awesome. It lets you take another turn in the middle of your current turn, going down your stack of character actions and wrecking your opponent all over again!

Set 2 Card Preview - Maple Soul Searcher

1/21/2008 2:18:36 PM

The simplest cards are often the most deadly. Maple Soul Searcher is just such a card. The subtle power of both halves of this card will give the clever Bowman another weapon in their arsenal to defeat all comers.

This deck is about one thing — getting monsters out there fast enough to kill your opponent before they hit their “big damage level.” Most decks have a certain point where they really start to dish out the big damage and their combos start kicking in, usually around level 70.

Rules for Bosses

1/7/2008 1:31:49 PM

Bosses are Monsters. You put them into play with Spawn abilities. When your character would take damage, a Boss in play will prevent 10 damage just as a monster would. You can destroy one with Double Stab. They can be attacked by your monsters and by your character actions. Basically, anything you can do to a monster you can do to a Boss.

Thieves are the masters of discard effects. By forcing your opponent to play cards quickly or to lose them, Thieves bring the action to the front of the game. By forcing your opponent’s cards onto the table or into the discard pile, you can see everything and react to it. Forcing your opponent to discard is not enough to win, however. Today’s preview is an example of a card that helps your strategy both early and late in the game.

When you play trading card games, do you like building interesting deck engines? Do you enjoy being the jack-of-all-trades? If so, the Thief class is for you. In MapleStory iTCG, Thieves can do almost anything pretty well, but no one thing as well as the other classes. It is this flexibility that makes Thieves the choice for players who want to have an answer to almost anything their opponent can do.

MapleStory iTCG card preview - Thunder Bolt

10/31/2007 4:05:55 PM

Magicians have the most damaging tactics in the game. Certainly, Magic Claw and Energy Bolt both throw damage around, able to snipe at one or two monsters early in the game. But what happens if your opponent has a great turn six, using Spawn abilities to put Yeti & Pepe, Wild Boar and Curse Eye into play? How do you come back from that? One great card is Thunder Bolt, something I like to call “The Answer.”

MapleStory iTCG card preview - Maya

10/30/2007 5:02:55 PM

Today’s preview is all about the Magician class. Maya is one of two Magician characters in the first set, and is the one that can appear in the Starter Deck. She combines early damage with amazing Tactics flexibility for the late game to make a great choice for players who want to win with style.

MapleStory iTCG card preview - The Nine Dragons

10/29/2007 2:31:35 PM

“Each of your Monsters get +20 attack.” This item makes every Monster in your deck deal an extra 20 damage when it attacks. You can have many copies of this in play, each giving a bonus. Turning your Red Snail into a 30 or 50 attack powerhouse is as fun as it is powerful. Like most Warrior Items in set one, there are two ways to go about getting this into play: the hard way and the easier way.

MapleStory iTCG card preview - Stone Golem

10/26/2007 11:54:25 AM

Stone Golem is a fantastic example of what makes a Warrior Monster. Great strength and powerful abilities make him a welcome addition to any deck that is dedicated to Warrior cards.
