Pack A Day: The Breaking of the Fellowship

[Eukalyptus]

Boo for LotR Reflections, and a crap one at that!

[Dictionary]

I won't judge you, but I think you just offended every dwarf on Middle-Earth for forgetting the name of their most legendary figure.

Not a great pack, but at least you got Linnar. Ancient Roads doesn't hurt either, as you generally need a lot of them anyway.

It did feel a lot like you used all your luck on the first few packs. After foil Servant of the Secret Fire things went downhill a little.

Well you can't expect a box to be pure awesome. And this box was very awesome so far. Greenleaf and FotS are needed to round things up

Sunday Funday triple-pack wasn't too bad. Still waiting for the influx of foils though

I'm a little behind watching these, I must say I have to disagree with you on Bred for Battle vs Lurtz's Battle Cry. I have had plenty of times where Bred for Battle is a dead card because, for one reason or another, my uruk cannot exert. Of course, Savagery to Match Their Numbers doesn't have this problem, but even then I can end up discarding because I don't need it (Strength gap too great between uruk and companion, or I'm winning regardless, but can't overwhelm.) And I usually ditch Armor with Beyond the Height of Men. I know what you mean though, I've discarded LBC plenty of times before.

Great series It's nice to see packs being opened on camera, rather than simply having to read them. Feels more like the watcher is actually part of the pack opening.

Thanks for the feedback Dictionary! I know I'm very direct in my opinions, but it's definitely just my play style. Since you mention that, I have to agree that is a big weakness in Bred for Battle. And in FotR you don't really have many other options. Maybe another reason to go x4 Ambition like Euk is always telling me hehe

Anyway...here's todays! Ended up being pretty happy with this one as well

Man, this box just likes to show off!

[Eukalyptus]

Just Greenleaf and FotS missing

Just Greenleaf and FotS missing

I'm at the point where I feel like there could only possibly be junk rares for the rest of the box, haha

Still keeping my fingers crossed tho

Very nice packs! Foils look way better IRL, It's a shame we can't upload them as they are to Gemp

Day 21, Pack 27

Not a bad haul from our usual pack a day, along with a little fun checking out an SWCCG Reflections pack!

Foils look way better IRL, It's a shame we can't upload them as they are to Gemp

A way to achieve that might be to separate the card picture into different layers, and apply different versions of the foil.gif effect to them (or even the same foil.gif, but with different starting time).

Now, that'd require a lot of work, and also a lot of more cpu time to show. Some players complain about foil cards destroying their games in Gemp, either making things too slow or wrecking the browser/machine. What a shame.
