If I have to go without my favorite game / product then I can certainly live without the rest of them!

I'm looking for tips/suggestions on building a fun, relatively easy to play House Telvanni deck. Specifically I need to know what are some low cost cards that work good in the deck. As well as some basic strategies/combos I should go for.

Also, I want a deck centered around Almalexia, but I don't know how to make one that'll keep me alive long enough to play her (and put the exalt to good use)

This is such a phenomenal game, I much prefer it to Gwent and Magic to be honest.

Can we maybe collectively start a petition to keep the game running?

Tenmar Swiftclaw (4) 2/2

Type: Creature - Khajiit

Text: Pilfer: +1/+1 May attack an extra time each turn.

Overview

A general design philosophy of pilfer creatures in the core set, was that they seem to be all balanced around [Lightning Bolt.](https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Lightning_Bolt_(Legends\)) If it puts out stats or bodies on turn 4 or before, you could zap it with a lightning bolt to kill it. It allowed a lot of powerful effects to be put on pilfer creatures of lower costs.

Attacking an additional time each turn is a very strong effect as seen on Master of Thieves. I think Tenmar Swiftclaw is a strong effect, but its colors don't support it too well for that purpose. Attacking an additional time each turn, you want to give the creature an item or some way to increase its power, but monk, which had a focus on aggro pilfer was the WORST at putting out items. With both agility and willpower having fewer than 5 items each even after all the sets that came out until now. I think had there been more sets Swiftclaw and other additional attack cards may have seen a resurgence with a deeper item pool.

This card has synergies with Haafingar Marauder, for the item buff; with Dawnbreaker, for being able to do an additional 8 damage out of nowhere; and with the Empower cards in dominion for being able to trigger them multiple times.

<Previous: Cloak // Dagger

I'm stuck at rank 3 and there's not so many people to play against. Wanted to make it to the Legends this last full season, but now it seems highly unlikeable...

Cloak (1) // Dagger (1)

Type: Item

Text: +0/+2 // +2/+0

Overview

This card has obvious comparison to Steel Scimitar which one of the best aggressive items in the game. It gets split out into two separate cards for 1 each.

There are two major strategies I've seen for this card: Decks that care about the number of items and Covenant Oathman.

For item decks, they care about the number of items for effects like Monster Perfection Lab and Dragonstar Rider. And the cost of both are usually reduced by Skilled Blacksmith.

Covenant Oathman has a unique interaction with this card. When you draw it from your deck, you apply the buff to an item in your hand before the card splits into two cards, letting you get the +2/+2 buff on both halves of the double card. This is a crazy amount of stats and is basically THE reason to play covenant midrange over other midrange decks. (Effectively 6 mana 8/10 of stats)

I love this game. With today’s technology there’s got to be a way to keep this game alive. Would it be possible to run a private server for this game? And if not the only other solution I can think of to preserve the fun would be to proxy in person versions of the cards(ik there are some cards it’d be really hard or impossible to get the effects right in an in person version but I’d just really like to see this game and the cards preserved in some way.)

Hey everyone,

Is there a website or resource out that which contains all of the assets and effects for all of the cards currently in ESL?

I'm interesting in printing my own cards and playing this game in person with friends using a handful of decks.

Any help is appreciated.

I accidentally clicked "Finish Deck" and saw an alternative Maple Shield in my deck. Basically, you need to manually add alternative card ID to a deck code and import the deck in game. You can even play unreleased Midnight Snack and Bruma Armorer.

I’ve been playing this game with my cup of coffee every single morning for the past seven years. I’m not only heartbroken, I’m kinda worried for my mental health lol. My morning game has somewhat embarrassingly been a core motivator for getting me out of bed in the morning. Can it ever be replaced?

Not a single card game came even close to this one. I just hope i will see a 2nd part of better version in the future. Saying my thanks to all the great duels with some of you. My gamename is Momoskin. Add me if you like to do some duels until the game dies.

PS: They shouldn’t have made the game pay to win. It killed it really. Should have made sellable card skins and effects or whatever. But not buying packs. The packs should be kind of hard to collect and finding a rare card should have been difficult. Not buying any cards with gems. Thats just silly. They killed a beautiful game here.

Looking for another card game, who knows similar game???

I swear I've heard the voice actress somewhere else, and it's (ironically) driving me mad. There is almost no info I've been able to find when it comes to who voiced which characters in this game.

I was thinking when you played a card with invade it shouldn't automatically send an oblivion gate to the shadow lane. It should 50/50 invade to either lane and then you only get the invade benefits of the gate with the same lane as the creature.

This seems like it still keeps some of the power of invade and keeps it lore friendly (imo more lore friendly, gates were popping up randomly and weren't very "shadowy") but balances it making it harder to just ridiculously strong gates on turn 3.

Other idea would be to give it last grasp of give opponent a sigil stone with the higher the level the gate the more powerful the sigil stone. I'm thinking the sigil stone could be an item giving random key words or something (basically giving a single regular creature the invade powers the gate would have given an opponents creature)

Let me know what you think. Just a fun theory I thought of the other day.

For me personally, I won't miss the Telvanni players taking 1000 hours for their games. Some of them seem to have nothing better to do

Dude has been keeping this subreddit alive for years. Entire community wouldn't have been the same without you. Thanks for your work!

Ash Berserker (4) 3/3

Type: Creature - Ash Creature

Text: At the end of your turn, if you have a creature with 5 power or more, draw a card.

Overview

This card appears a lot in aggro decks. If you have stat-increasing effects or 5-power creatures, the natural inclination is to just ram them into your opponent.

This card was nerfed, it used to be a 4/3, where it was too easy to trigger off itself with +1/+0 or +1/+1 boosting effects. It's still quite good with those types of effects, because they'll usually boost a 4 power creature over the edge to 5 power.

Has anyone found a way to save the cards . I have completed the collection long ago but would love to have the cards stored for whatever purpose. Afraid when servers go down , all cards will be lost???

This was by far my favorite card game, specifically because each card truly felt like their abilities were in character for who they were. The cards were balanced (for the most part, oblivion gates got kinda out of hand).

The day I heard it was going offline, I stopped playing, mainly because I'm so sad it's going. The thought of spending all my gold, getting cards I didn't earn, just felt wrong. I am still hoping that it somehow comes back but I doubt it, and it makes me slightly depressed that it's leaving.

Doesn't Bethesda/Zenimax's decision break the consumer protection laws?

I don't know much about law, especially non-European, and Bethesda, Zenimax and Microsoft are all American companies. But, since they are distributing their games and services to Europe, shouldn't they comply with the European law?

If anyone here knows law, please, tell me. Is what they're doing legal?
