Beginning of the End for Beginner's Packs!

This Friday, Nov 6, the Beginner's Packs will be coming down. Then begins the crunching of data and analysis, etc. We'll see how it was received, how it effected the game from top to bottom, and what our next step is.The Beginner's Pack may not return in its present form, so if your interested, please consider buying one before Friday!

Plus, the Beginner's Packs were my idea, so it'll make me look good. Which would be awesome.

You might think that restricting yourself to only using cards with an AGI of 3 (and grimoires) would limit a file. It turns out, though, that AGI 3, perhaps because it's the middle of the road for agility, includes no small number of the best cards in the game. Read on to see how our players picked up on this and capitalized as they crafted their contest entries.

Remember fellow Iczers, the submission deadline for the Card Flip Theater Caption Contest is Wednesday at 12:00 P.M. If you have an idea, get crackin'. Four point cards could be yours.

I know what you're all thinking... It's the holiday season, the big day is coming close. Yes, it's almost that time you've been waiting for all year. Just thinking of all the kids, too excited to sleep because they know it's right around the corner... it brings a tear to my eye. That's right! It's Guy Fawkes Day!  WOOOOOOOOOO!

It's about time for another 5 of 7 event!

This time, everyone gets 3 point cards and a free EXPLODING SPORE in honor of Guy Fawkes Day!  Play from Monday, November 2nd to November 8th!  Plus, four GRAND PRIZE winners get ANY RARITY 3 card of their choice!

Gowen is the last of the four spheres to be covered in the Counter to Guardian articles. So all four spheres have nowbeen represented. Check out all of our helpful strategies to better deck building on our Modified Card Files page.

Now that the Alteil Halloween costumes are all done, it's time for the non-Alteil related costumes!

Since this year Halloween falls on a Saturday a few of us showed up to work in our costumes. Lupos has been slowly acquiring the parts of his awesome Dee Snider (from Twisted Sister) costume, while AnnaTheRed and I decided this year to be splicers from the game Bioshock.

We have two Halloween styled avatars for sale in the shop. Purchase with gran or fight money and don a Pumpkinhead round the arenas. You can look just like the Pumpkins from Ogre Battle or just like Pumkinhead from that Pumpkinhead movie. You can find the Pumpkinhead under the hair button in the avatar shop. The other item is a Pumpkincat available as Moral Support. So go grab them now because they're only around to buy for the weekend.

Happy Halloween from everyone here at Alteil.
