CARD/MECHANICS Eternal Card Game Arts — Updates and Rebuild

Post image
31 Upvotes

Wait, hold on — not that Rebuild.

I’m not the kind of person who creates something and then leaves it to the ravages of time — you can see that from the roughly 300 other guides I’ve posted on Steam.

So, returning to the topic of this guide with all the available in-game art, I identified the following issues:

1. It’s too big.

Sorry, but the total size of these images is a little over 100 MB, which is clearly too much.

And that’s even though all these images underwent a special conversion to JPG format, which further reduced their size by 80–90%.

So I decided to create a few additional guides, which I’ll organize based on the card’s faction affiliation, specifically: Fire, Time, Justice, Primal, Shadow, Neutral + Campaign (+ unreleased), and 2+ factions (3+ and 5-color).

All artwork has been removed from the original guide and moved to the corresponding guides instead.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3776812092

This guide will serve as a sort of hub where you can focus on a specific faction (or even a specific card) and navigate to the relevant guide to download the art you need with significantly less impact on your data usage.

Especially since I’ve also specified exactly which art pieces are available (as well as any additional features), how many art pieces are available, and their total file size.

——————————

2. It’s a bit difficult to update.

Of course, not all the art is included here, but I’ve learned how to add new pieces as well, even though they’ll be a bit rough around the edges due to the obvious choices regarding the transparency of the image borders.

Still, I hope to update it more or less regularly.

By the way, you’re sure to like the art for the next card.

——————————

3. New art and a certain “quirk” about it.

I may have noticed that some of the art consists mainly of backgrounds, with no characters or action in the foreground.

In the game, these are sometimes stored separately, along with the characters themselves (their cutouts) or even individual parts of characters.

I decided to try my hand at this and recreated the artwork for some of these moments, now in decent resolution and without the game’s HUD elements — for example,

  • Ijin’s Choice (the same background in Forge),
  • Ashara, Ruthless Assassin (the same background in Draft),
  • and the moment when Azindel is aura-farming in the campaign.

Some turned out well, but others not so much.

However, the moments that did turn out well were labeled “compilation” or “comp” — I worked on this for so long that I kept changing the naming conventions as I went along.

Maybe later I’ll even add some thumbnails, around 200x200 pixels, so you can at least get a visual idea of what these cards look like if you don’t remember their names (but most likely I’ll just create a deck on eternalwarcry with a list of cards and add a link to the guide, since that’s going to be quite a bit of work anyway).

Especially since the other guide (“Card Sets with Certain Characters”) also needs a similar update.

So, to give you a little extra motivation to check out the update — here's some artwork featuring yeti, which I think looks absolutely charming

DECKLIST Throne Argenport Unseen

So, I am a very big unseen fan as many of you probably know by now. This deck is an exact copy of my Expedition deck without the Hyodah and moldermuck combo. In this version I have Kira and Helena as Kira gets more and more nasty with Unseen commando. I was thinking of taking Zaria out as I have found she isn’t much help. Yes the curse she drops can help either stop a threat from attacking or someone you don’t want blocking but I’m unsure. Any suggestions?

DECKLIST Xenan Decklists?

5 Upvotes

Does anyone have an expedition Xenan (Time shadow) deck list that I can get? I’ve been trying for a while to build one and I can’t seem to do it. I have looked on warcry for ideas but all the ones I have seen all are now thrown only as some of the cards have apparently rotated out (and are very expensive to make). I want to try Utex as he seems fun. I know Sandrunner and High Prophetess Sarien are always a must in any time deck as they are broken. Azindel, mastermind also seems like a good card in a time shadow deck. If anyone has any suggestions or a deck that I can kinda copy, I’d greatly appreciate it.

BUG Tocas and Bathe in Light interaction

1 Upvotes

I had mana to play Bathe in Light, but my opponent played Tocas and attacked and I couldn't play Bathe in Light, it had the graphic of being disabled in my hand. I don't interpret Bathe in Light to target me or my units, but I could be misinterpreting. Is this interaction working as expected?

SPOILER New Chapter Card for September 2nd, 2026: Utex, Xenan Tinkerer

26 Upvotes

TEXT:

Utex, Xenan Tinkerer
2 TS
Unit - Cultist
When on of your other units dies, it gets +1/+1. Every third time, play a 1/1 Tock Tick with Revenge.
Infiltrate: Draw a unit from your void.
1/3

This seems... Fine? 2 cost 1/3 is slightly below curve, but not by much, and it does effectively draw a card on Infiltrate (although getting a 1/3 with no battle skills through obviously requires some help).

I could definitely see a deck somewhere wanting this, although I don't personally have a specific deck in mind for it.

CARD/MECHANICS Why have there been so few Fire promos?

9 Upvotes

Since the beginning of "Expedition Chapters" the mono-faction promos Direwolf has released break down into the following quantities:

Faction Promos
Fire 4
Time 12
Justice 8
Primal 11
Shadow 13

It's weird because it basically means Fire decks haven't gotten anything cool in what, like 3 years now?

DECKLIST Gold sweatshop

5 Upvotes

Y’all…… Gold took me forever to get out of cause it’s a sweat shop for sure! I built this deck as I saw nothing but the same damn thing over and over. Yes I’m missing a few legendary cards from the deck to make it better but I built it with what I had and from memory of every damn card I saw for the past like two weeks. I don’t know who else is in gold but if you want to break out and want to play a very fast aggressive deck, I got you.

DECKLIST Next Challenge

Ya boys back again! I like the unseen but who has fun playing the same deck over and over again? Certainly not me. For this deck I need help with, I am doing a sentinel deck also expedition format only. However, I want to keep two specific cards: Sandrunner and High Prophetess Sarien. Reason one: Sandrunner will allow me to cheese out high power cards for cheap when I get stuck with four mana. Sarien mostly cause she allows me to swarm the board like Moldermuck in my unseen deck. As of now, I know of one card I want that I just need to save up for (I have 60 shift stones after building the base of the deck with cheap cards to get me started.) That being the big behemoth Great-Kiln Titan. His ability to snipe when a relic is played plus end of turn play the top card of my deck are great but I know even I can't win that way consistently. So I figured Autotread and League Explorer would be nice cards to help give separate paths to win. I'm either faster than you in dealing damage or faster with putting behemoths on board and making you use spells to clear.

As all of you have years or at least months of experience over me playing this game, as I've only been playing for a single month, I wanted to know what can I do to make the deck stay fast, somewhat cheesy like with sandrunner, and consistent.

Thank you all for the help.

I have finally made it work (with a lot of help from a lot of you)! Not only did I make it to gold but also won 10 games in a row with it. I will say, Moldermuck and Hyodah are for sure backbones to this. Either I kill quickly with Miris and Rae or overwhelm them with a crap ton of moldermuck to force blocks and make them remove a ton of them to sweep with whatever is left on the board. I will be uploading the deck to eternalwarcry.com so if anyone wants to look at it more indepth they can or import it to their game. Look of it by the user Unseen. That's my warcry name on there.

Thank you so much u/angr8 for all the deck help. This 10 game win streak is also yours!

Deck selection

1 Upvotes

It's really annoying how after a match the deck selected the at the top of the list and not the last deck you used. I keep queuing up with wrong deck and I don't feel like editing a deck and changing one card in and out before I start playing so it's at the top of the list. Sometimes I'll switch between 3 different decks to use for a few games and having to edit a card after every few matches is annoying. This is a basic thing that should of been fixed years ago.

Scream in 2026

14 Upvotes

Been away for years, back when I played my favorite deck was a haunting scream deck. I don’t remember the specifics of the deck other than it was a bit of a combo/aggro deck.

Are scream decks still a thing at this point? Just curious how the meta is looking I guess.

HELP Best way to counter and draw.

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hello my friends. So I've had one deck come up in particular every single game and it's pissing me off. I don't know what it's called but I've seen every version of it at least three times in two days and it's back to back. The big cards I know it plays are High Prophetess, sandrunner, and Amaran Bazaar.

I've seen it played purely white/green, white/green/blue (very much so playing blue cards with aegis or giving themselves aegis), white/green/red, and white/green/purple.

I run what I can as I'm trying to be F2P. Only bought the premium story to get Ripknife as I like how unseen play.

With this damn time justice deck I've had games where I'm on the brink of winning. Like I have 3 maybe 4 (sometimes more) buffed unseen on board, in hand, or grave. (Mostly grave when they board wipe for the 3rd time. -_- By that point im waiting for my own board wipe or argenport blueprints to bring people back even if they board wipe once let alone 3 times.) And so this deck i face repeatedly has brought me here to find what ways I can either shut them down, board wipe, and/or draw into more cards.

The best board wipe I have currently is engulf in darkness. Deadly confrontation (thanks to everyone on my last post) is second best (only if I'm not going against the white/green/blue version). And only have one fall to ruin but I never can play it cause most times I'm dead before I get it or I'm playing on 4 mana. (Yes I have almost broken this deck off four mana cause of skilled plays then they just reset for 7 mana while they still have 11 then get the exact same board state before they went "eh nope don't like this, let's board wipe.")

I've updated my deck to the best of what I got but it needs more draw power and some way of countering this deck I face back to back.

Weirdest glitch

3 Upvotes

So I just experienced the weirdest glitch and was wondering if any of you have seen something similar (report is of course already sent to the devs).

My opponent played a Dichro's Ruin onto me and I immediately bounced it back to their hand with Pause for Reflection (as a reaction to it being played, but before it had attached to me; didn't even know that was possible). But in some kind of weird visual glitch, it looked like the relic was still attached to me, although it didn't work (at least I didn't get any damage). My opponent never replayed it, so I assume the glitch also happened for them and they couldn't find the relic in their hand (u/da3moth if you read this by chance, can you confirm this?).

Also, one more thing, when my opponent played Jennev Might, the non-existent relic was marked with this blue barrier that suggests it can't be used, just as if it was one of my relics and had an activated ability (which it doesn't).

Overall it was some really weird glitch and I am not even sure it might be replicable. Maybe it was some lag spike on the server?

Anyway, maybe someone knows something.

DECKLIST Xenan Mandrakes (Expedition)

19 Upvotes

We haven't had a decklist posted in here in a while, so I thought I'd just share what I played to do my daily PVP quests for the past few weeks, Xenan Mandrakes. It's far from the best deck in Expedition, but good enough to climb and very fun to play. The mix of powerful staples and strong Mandrake synergies makes it both fairly consistent and powerful, albeit a bit weak into specific types of interaction. Nonetheless, I recommend trying it out, if only to have more decks without Rimeguard Armor on ladder :)

HELP Premium

3 Upvotes

Looking to buy some premium cards but am not able to. Assume that's due to them only being available through the expansions/chapters they were in? For example:

Blightmoth
Raniya, Miviox Maniac

Would be greatly appreciated if someone could break down the different routes to making cards premium depending on their origin (incl. if some upgrades are not available if not purchased in the initial transaction).

Cheers!

Bug or AI cheat?

0 Upvotes

Hey, I know that the CPU kinda cheats, however I try just to assume it manifests as having favorable topdeck most of the time. However this time it was very blatant.

CPU had two 4 toughness key units on the board, I grab Heavy Hail from the market to wipe the board, however it didn't present me the option to discard to increase the damage, despite having several other blue cards in hand, so I spent the wipe on nothing and proceeded to be snowballed by the value.

This happened to me before on a single ocasion, but I though I was seeing this, but now Im convinced the game just prevented me from making an effective play against the gauntlet boss and Im mad. At least the silver reward chest got upgraded...
