Awwww, geee, the standard bearer, but it is really nice. Anyway I am not going to trade anything in my current deck until this game is over. What if I throw in a [Kobold Instigator] instead?

are we tracking the numbers?
If we are here are the cards I traded Numbers:
209 [Petty Goblin Thief]
214 [Goblin Swordmaster]+
296 [Feral Beakdog]
353 [Corner Castle Tower]+
358 [Goblin Obsidian Spire]+
378 [Hasty Retreat]
380 [Hasty Retreat]
404 [Severe Wound]

Edit also just wondering but what does the magical tag do/will do?

I think that the numbers just refer to the number that was used to pick them, the starter deck cards don't have numbers because they were not picked randomly. I haven't been checking the numbers, just the figures after the cards. Ideally you should only trade * cards, such as [Dwarf Dungeon Master]* for other * cards and + cards such as [Crossbow Dwarf]+ for other + cards. If you trade cards from different categories it becomes very confusing very quickly...

Kobolds ain't inciting me, they are only a filler atm, come on, are you even using Gobbos???
What I would love to know is the Numbers to Roll them, and remember, In having no Symbol next to the Name means that it is common, (having a higher chance to roll and gain them) while a + means uncommon (medicore chance in getting them) and the * is Rare, (meaning there might be a 1/1000 chance in getting them)...

Ah Just went to have another look at the file, if you notice when you look at the Database on the first page, there is a group of numbers next to the name, this represents the number that is rolled to get the card...
There looks to be 455 Slots filled by the 120 cards that Taritus has created so far, so when you look at things like the Dwarf Miner, there is a 6/455 chance to get one in a booster Roll. Commons look like they have 6chances at each card, Uncommon has 3chances and a Rare is only one...

Hmmm well done on the Random side Taritus, but perhaps something like a more mixed up method so its not all, numbers 1 to 67 are dwarfs, shuffle them around perhaps...

Well yes and no...
Granted its RNG, but still, I never liked the idea that it is printed in the same pattern...

Make sure that you can handle duplicate numbers...

But the way it works is that the boosters are random, 11 different numbers from 1 to 455 are generated and the card that matches each number is added to the booster. The * cards typically only have 1 number, the + cards seem to have 4 numbers and the common cards seem to have 6 numbers. So there should be 4 times as many + cards as there are * cards, which makes * cards really hard to get...

Yeah, pretty much, what can I say? I like overkill...

Also, I have only checked a few but the uncommons seem to have 4 chances.

The kobolds are on you list, and the rest of the stuff has Ms next to it. but almost a fifth of my deck is goblins at the moment so I am a little reluctant to dump them all...

Yeah well you are playing at the moment too.
What is the Race you playing mostly though???
Like I said the Kobolds are fillers. Mainly after the Stealing kind...

Yes, I shall defeat my unworthy foe and earn great and powerful new minions in short order!

Mostly elves, but goblins come a close second, and I have some of everything rattling around in there, I don't really have enough cards to give my deck definition yet...

Maybe we will talk more once my match is over, but for now I fear that that is my final offer...

Noooo! I want the brook along with a longnosed gar. I'll trade anything gobbo. You name it, I'll offer it. Well, I'll offer the elves and junk too, but I know what you REALLY want :D At the very least, I'll give you Goblin Obsidian Spire for the Longnosed Gar.

In hindsight, there probably aren't enough water in general yet to justify having 2 decks using them, but as long as we keep opening packs, it should come out ok. In any case, I really only need 4 , which is bad when you consider there are about 4 between all of us right now. Hehe. Worst case scenario, I'll be unable to play some of the fishies for a few turns sometimes. But they're so good, I don't mind.

Hmm...I've never been a big fan of CCGs - I mean, I did and still do collect Pokemon cards, but I never got heavily into the battling and trading thing.

By definition that makes you a fan since you still buy them.
