Hi,
I use to be a member on the forum here, and played in 2009/2010 time frame.
I see quite a few changes and really just looking for something to waste time here and there at work once in a while.
My Question is I have Shard of Divinity / Shard of Gratitude
Is there a list of newer shards/cards and how they are obtained?
I don't know if there is a list, but this I can tell you -- You will most likely win them and other rare cards in the Arena (it replaced the Top 50.)
There are four types of Arena -- Bronze, Silver,Gold, and Platinum. Starts from the first (relatively easy) to the last (kind of False God level.)
If you win Bronze 5 times in a row, you gain a "Special Spin". You can Spin EVERY SLOT, by itself, up to three times -- And line up a rare you want.
In Silver, 4 times in a row
Gold, 3 times in a row
Platinum, 2 times in a row.
I should tell you that it's not PVP nor PVE; people make arena decks with at least five copies of the card they gained from oracle and let the AI play them. The "type" of Arena where a deck goes is decided by the Player's level (You can see the table at our indevelopment page. 0-20 is bronze, 20-40 is Silver, 40-60 is Gold, 60-80 is Plat, Basically.) So, you can also make an Arena Deck and leave it up and running -- People will fight it and you might profit from it.
As for the Shards, I know not of a list where you could go to, but quite basically... (Get the effects from someone else -- Kind of in a hurry; sorry!)
Shard of Readiness - The Time Shard.
Shard of Freedom - Air Shard.
Shard of Bravery - Fire Shard
Shard of Focus - Gravity Shard
Shard of Void - Darkness Shard
Shard of Wisdom - Aether Shard
Shard of Serendipity - Entropy
Shard of Integrity - Earth
Shard of Patience -- Water.
Some dislike the shards, others use it. The only ones you'll most likely have to get into your memory are the Shard of Readiness (Commonly named SoR -- It allows a time creature to use it's skill Twice this turn, and any creature will have it's skill cost set to 0. This means time creatures can use their skills twice, for free.), Shard of Freedom (SoFree - This one is thougher to explain, I'll let it to others), Shard of Bravery (Allows you to draw up to 3 cards; your opponent can also draw up to 3. It depends on your Opponent's space in hand and your own.), Shard of Focus (Free PC. Often hated. I'll let it to others to explain. Basically, you'll use it's skill, destroy a permanent for free, and it's HP will grow about +15 each time. When it's hp reaches ~45, it turns into a blackhole. I'm not sure the numbers are exact.) , Shard of Wisdom (Difficult to explain -- It just gives boost and "spell damage", as in bypasses shields, to immaterial creatures IIRC. But others can explain it better), and Shard of Integrity (This one basically makes all the shards in your hand combine into a creature. There's even a table for amount of shards = what monster; others can explain it better than I.)
Yeah, shards are pretty meta dominating.
Welcome back and sorry I couldn't be of much help.
Cheers.
