Well I got my free deck and it had 10 copies of the same girl. (dryad? naked and hugging tress so I guess).

Is that right I think it said she was rare but her stats are the worse

Top -6
left and right -1
bottom- 2

Well I got my butt handed to me but I had fun (which is the main reason to play - No? )

I know have a deck with nine of the little naked ladies anyone want to trade?

EDIT: System sent me a message and it showed her name - Xia

Yeah, that shouldn't be. She is a rare card.

I tried buying some of the free decks and they all give out 10 Xia's. Something's messed up there.

Edit: the free Monsters & Villains deck is giving out the proper spread of cards, but Magic Forest isn't.

By the way, Xia is actually a surprisingly useful card. When you get into how the Plus matches work the 6-1 difference is very effective.

Ran into a glitch in a M&V match with the Goblin Chieftain. I played one card and then the computer played one of my cards (Octopus) and one of its (Purple) on top of it, later on because I had no more cards in hand the game froze.

As I keep saying in this thread, the game gets into a lot of visual glitches. Just hit refresh, and you'll see what the battlefield really looks like, and the game continues normally.

Also, if you left the game already, earlier in this thread I posted instructions for how to unhang games. Nobody seems to have noticed as the Battle Arena room is full of hung games.

That's weird. She's definitely set as rare.

I've reported the bug to the developer. In the meantime, setting that card back to common seems to have fixed the problem.

What is a medallion? I can not seem ti discern the values.

Ohh, interesting. It's basically Triple Triad from FFVIII, except with hot fairies instead of FFVIII monsters/characters. And I rock at Triple Triad.

The Elemental stuff seems to be kind of bugged. It's not showing up on the field or the cards. You can see it in this match:

And I agree with Jonesy. There's too many rules in Random Guardsman for a beginner game. Probably either Elemental, Sudden Death or Random should go. I'd really say Random or Sudden Death rather than Elemental; IME Elemental isn't a rule to worry about since it's pretty random. If anything, in that game Sudden Death was a bigger problem since the AI wasn't playing too stupid (unlike the typical FFVIII NPC that plays cards in a fixed and very easy to beat pattern), and it took several rounds for it to make a mistake. Also, if he's easy he should only have the first two levels instead of three.

Basic strategy tip: try to control the corners. Erica from the starter deck is your first good card for this, as you can see with her 6/6 in the upper left corner. Play her towards the bottom and right and the Guardsman can only flip her with Pap or Trug unless you put her on an element. Also, the Guardsman has Open, so keep your weaker numbers against a wall or another card and don't expose them on a side where he can flip you.

And please, less opponents with Random.

I was going to go with my usual mantra of 'if you hit refresh during the match, they will show up again', but that's the first time I've seen it so bugged that even the replay isn't showing them (which usually isn't bothered by the visual glitches).

Another really nasty bug I noticed: sometimes the AI plays two cards at once. The first time this happened to me, the AI somehow managed to play a card outside the board (below the bottom center square) and turned a bunch of my cards in a nasty combo. Worst part is the AI's cheating (there is no other word for this) doesn't even show up in a replay, so I can't show it.

Second time this happened, I hit refresh immediately. That fixed things and showed only one card played by the opponent.

I see someone tweaked the rules on the Guard. It's a good improvement for beginning matches, though I think keeping Elemental wouldn't have made it too hard. OTOH, there's little use for Elemental in a beginner game since only Xia in the lower sets has an element. That's the thing about elements, it tends to be applied pretty randomly, and it's not much of a rule if there's not enough cards to apply it strategically. I've never really based ay Triple Triad strategies on it at all because of its randomness.
