Free Web NovelChapter 506: Chapter 183: Another Kung Fu Card Puzzle Piece_2
In subsequent city competitions, it won’t be possible to rely solely on the Kung Fu deck.
Besides, the Kung Fu deck is largely complete now, with only minor tweaks needed.
So, preparation can begin for other card decks.
The Sword deck is Ree Shil’s second choice.
(Correction: for consistency, all sword-related cards are marked with a sword tag)
There are many reasons for this.
For instance, Ree Shil already has several excellent sword cards such as [Blind Swordsman], [Sword Dance Girl], [Breaking Balance Sword], [Doram’s Captain], [Nameless Sword Spirit], [Demon-eliminating Human], and [Demon-eliminating Puppet], amounting to a total of 7 cards.
Of course, [Demon-eliminating Human], [Demon-eliminating Puppet], and [Breaking Balance Sword] are all special attack cards that can’t exhibit their full potential without the right targets. freewebnøvel.com
So, the Sword deck is still missing a lot of pieces.
Furthermore, two of the sword cards are also part of the Kung Fu deck.
Which means there’s some overlap between the two decks.
The two decks can complement each other.
For example, when encountering counter cards after first playing the Kung Fu deck.
In such cases, switching to the Sword deck in the middle of the game can be very convenient.
Secondly, the card [Nameless Sword Spirit] yields high returns when there are many sword cards in play.
In a 9+1 card game, assuming an average number, there would be around 4-5 sword cards left on the card table when [Nameless Sword Spirit] is revealed.
That would effectively give it a free 20 to 25 points attack boost.
This might not seem like much, but it’s free.
So, this is considered one of the core cards in the Sword deck.
"Now, if I were to add another ’Frog Swordsman’ kind of excellent sword card, there would be 6 sword cards," Ree Shil thought.
"In a 6+1 situation, that is almost enough to fill up the deck."
Continuing down the preview, Ree Shil didn’t find any prominent cards in the next 100 cards.
Not until he got to the 200 card range.
"Ribbit! Ribbit!" xN
A farmers market emerged from the projection of this card.
The market was packed with frogmen wearing scarves and sunglasses.
"Haha, I didn’t know they made scene cards like this."
Ree Shil laughed just from the projection, before even looking at the card face.
[Frog Flow Market]
Scene, D
[Frogmen Appear]: Every 3 rounds, 1 frogman can be summoned to an empty card position on the Frog Flow Market
[Frogman]
Balance, 10 points, E
Attack 10, 20/20
"This card is interesting, it’s actually a summoning scene card."
Ree Shil raised his eyebrows.
Although the [Frogman] seemed weak, its 20 points of health could not be underestimated.
He hadn’t forgotten the opportunities the [Malicious Puppets] had created for him during his duel with Museum Director Phoenix.
The main purpose of this type of expendable re-summoned card was to take hits.
Twenty points of health was a sensitive amount.
Because if it went into [Defense] mode, an average 30-point card would need two rounds to take it out.
This could sufficiently protect one’s own cards while wasting the other side’s DPS.
"Good card, definitely worth drawing."
"Turns out this variety show instance is not entirely worthless."
He pulled out this card and added it to his selection.
Going down the preview, the card pool of this instance wasn’t very diverse, with frogman cards making up more than 95% of the pool.
So, Ree Shil didn’t worry about not having a place to use the [Frog Sword].
"Huh? I didn’t expect to see this card here."
He was slightly taken aback when he previewed a certain card.
"What do you call hitting wherever you point, ribbit!"
On the card face, a frogman with a sweatband jumped out.
It was holding a stone as big as a melon in a single-hand hold.
Ree Shil remembered that it was a guest star from one of the special episodes of Frog Star Road.
Besides the entertainment value, the show was popular for frequently promoting positivity.
The theme of that special episode was the intangible cultural heritage of the Frog Star.
The frogman in front of him was one of the inheritors of this non-material cultural heritage, a master stone thrower.
When the Frog Star civilization was still relatively underdeveloped, or during the ancient times of the Frog Star, the frogmen invented a method to catch insects flying in the sky.
In simple terms, it was just stone-throwing.
But he didn’t have much contact with this master because each guest star on the show was supposed to select a master, study with them for 24 hours, and then take a test from the master.
Based on the test results, the masters would give ratings.
These ratings determined the sequence of tasks later on.
During that time, Ree Shil was mentored by someone else, not this master. This master was tasked with teaching Mossy Mushroom who had special talent in this area, so Ree Shil was not familiar with him.
But looking at the details of this card now, it seemed to be quite accurate.
[Stone Throwing Frog Turner]
Listening to the Wind, 30 points, B
Attack 30, 100/100
[Stone Throw-Passive]: The attack from Stone Throwing Frog Turner can cross a row of blocking cards
[Ancestral Skills-Passive]: When Stone Throwing Frog Turner attacks a non-outer card target, attack power +10
[Ancestral Taste-Passive]: When Stone Throwing Frog Turner attacks insect cards, attack power +10
"This is a B-Rank card, impressive."
"And this card’s DPS is pretty high."
"I have 30 chances to draw cards this time, and most of the cards in this instance are frogman cards."
"What if I end up with a full frogman deck?"
He thought that wouldn’t be a bad idea either.
If you had to point out a strength of frogman cards based on what he had seen so far, it would be their special attack against bugs.
The effect of [Ancestral Taste] is just like [Blade Mantis Mother’s] [Mantis catches cicada], they just changed the name.
