Kat has been filming matches and putting them on The Spaceport’s YouTube channel.  Although there’s no commentary it’s interesting to see the gameplay. Have a look at The Spaceport website.



Happy Valentine’s!

Here’s a sneak preview of one of the cards we’ll be releasing as a beta card at the Spring Tournament on the 2nd of March: All Aquiver featuring Cupid Linden:

It’s the first card to feature the draw effect: when played you and your opponent always draw one card and you draw an additional card unless your opponent plays a mid block. Love is in the air and everyone benefits.

Strategically this is a great card to include in a deck which features long combos as it gives you a way to draw all the cards you need for the combo quickly. Tactically this is a great card to play when your opponent has a full hand that’s better than yours: you get to quickly draw cards to improve your hand and by forcing your opponent to draw you force them to discard a card from a hand that is working well.

Johannason Wins the Constructed Cup!

Johannason was a deadly fighter today – and despite fighting Michalius, who is a very good fighter indeed, he swooped through undefeated to win not just the Constructed Cup but the Open Cup as well. Congratulations!

The Combat Cards Summer Tournaments end at Midnight SLT on October 15th, which is less than 2 weeks away! At the end of the tournements we’ll invite the top 4 players who have played 10 games or more in the Open League to compete for the Open Cup and a full set of Combat Cards at our Halloween party on the 28th of October.

The Open competition is really heating up with lots of people playing lots of games with free demo decks, but we’re also going to invite the top 4 players with 10 games played in the Constructed League to compete for the Constructed Cup and 10,000L$ and This competition is still wide open, with only Osprey currently qualifying! So, if you want to be in with a chance to win lots of Lindens and you’d like to help us balance Combat Cards, please build a deck and play some constructed games!

We’re going to hold our first ever Constructed Clash event on Sunday at 2PM SLT where we’ll be helping people build decks, play constructed games and trade cards, so please come along! As an extra incentive we’ll be giving out free Combat Cards to everyone who attends!



Summer Tournaments

To coincide with the launch of Jaladan Codesmith’s new automated scoring system at the Combat Cards 1st birthday party on Sunday, we launched 2 tournaments to run for 3 months over the summer.

At midnight SLT on 15th October we will invite the players with the 4 highest scores who have played 10 or more games in the Constructed League to compete for the Constructed Cup and 10,000L$ at the Combat Cards Halloween party. The players with the 4 highest scores in the Open League who have played 10 or more games will also be invited to compete for the Open Cup and a full set of Combat Cards at the Halloween party.

To play a game in the constructed league both players must use decks entirely made up from cards bought from Combat Card vendors. To play a game in the open league at least one of the players must be using a demo deck. Games are played in the beta league if either player has beta cards in their deck and in the training league if played against a robot.

I’m sure the tournaments will be lots of fun and hopefully as a result we’ll see more people constructing decks and experimenting with different combinations of Combat Cards which will help us balance the game in the future. To help people collect the cards they need, Osprey and I will have 20 cards to trade at each Sunday Slashfest over the summer, so if there’s a card you need for your deck, come along and see if we have it to trade that week.
