I've seen the future of trading card games and I like it. Fantasy Flight Games has revolutionized the way trading card games are sold with their Living Card Game model. You buy a fixed starter set, and each month, a new expansion pack comes out to diversify your card library—and to further an ongoing in-game story arc. The best part is that the expansion packs aren't randomized, so you don't have to go chasing rares to have competitive decks. You still create your own unique deck from the pool of cards you own. I like! This week, Fantasy Flight has new releases for two of its Living Card Game lines.
The Deathmaster's Dance is the fourth monthly Battle Pack in the Corruption Cycle, the first linked expansion series for the Warhammer: Invasion Living Card Game. The forces of Order have put up a valiant fight against the relentless spread of the Skaven hordes, but a new threat has arrived. This 40-card pack contains 20 never-before-seen cards designed to augment existing decks and add variety to the Warhammer: Invasion metagame, including a new leader for the Skaven—the deadly assassin Deathmaster Sniktch—as well as fearsome creatures like the Great Unclean One and the War Hydra. The forces of Order counter the assault with the Silver Helm Detachment, the Mountain Legion and the Vigilant Elector.
The next Asylum Pack in the Dreamlands cycle for the Call of Cthulu Living Card Game is Journey to Unknown Kadath, which takes players deeper into the danger and beauty of the Dreamlands. With this 40-card Asylum Pack, never-before-seen cards are introduced into the Call of Cthulhu LCG metagame, bringing new deck-building strategies for players of every faction. The search for Twila Katherine Price comes to its conclusion, but in the Dreamlands, what you seek and what you find are rarely one and the same.... Also included in this Asylum Pack is part six of "The Lost Dreamers," a serial tale by Nate French. This episode follows Gregory Gry on an epic journey through the cliffs, forests, and blue plains of the Dreamlands as he continues his search.
