My friends and I have recently started playing Shaman King TCG. Its pretty damn cool when you can buy a booster box for $30. Doesnt make a huge dent in my pocket. It is a shame the game didnt take off. And I have seen only 2 episodes of Shaman King. I wouldnt mind getting the whole series. But it is so hard to find here in the United States.

Hi there my friend!I don't believe it!

Another person who still plays SK!Awesome.Looks like we are going to be the ones who will keep this thread alive.The SK anime is great indeed.It's pretty hard to find the DVD's though.Try watching SK online on Youtube or other anime-related sites like pisoga or animefuel.

Malestryx · 06-27-2008, 06:19 AM

Yeah,
It seems very hard to get. I have only seen the 2 episodes that come with the 2 player starter deck with the TCG. Anyway, I will take your advice. Im hoping to locate the actuall DVDs. It sort of a collecter thing for me. I try not to buy box sets of anime series. I prefer individual. And hopefully we can get more people talking about Shaman King TCG. I is a very fun game.

Have you ever tried out other quickstrike system games(meaning Avatar and Pirates of the Caribbean)?They have the exact same rules as SK but they have changed the traits in order to be compatible with each other.

Malestryx · 06-29-2008, 03:57 PM

I haven't actually tried either of those 2. I play MTG and that is about it. Shaman King is quite fun. So the other 2 are somewhat like Shaman King? How are the alike and how are they different?

omedus · 07-02-2008, 01:29 AM

The above mentioned games have the exact same rules as SK.But as i've said before UDE has altered the traits of the cards so they can be compatible with each other.The traits used are these:
STRIKES:bull,fox,lion
ADVANTAGES:mind,body,spirit
ALLIES(TEAMWORKS):light,shadow,dark

There are also a set of three special traits for each game.Pirates have sail,sword and cannon.I'm not familiar with the special traits of Avatar though.
Furyoku is named energy here(kinda makes sense,right?) and you start the game with three energy in each of your zones(instead of two in SK).
I would recommend you to play the online demo game of these games to get the feeling.

Malestryx · 07-02-2008, 09:54 AM

Cool,
I appreciate the input. I will have to check it out. What is the website I should go to? And are there actually tournments being played? If they have actual tourneys. I will be much more interested.

omedus · 07-03-2008, 12:24 AM

I'm sorry but both games are dead

As many people have said in this forum bad promotion(or shall i say NO promotion at all) from UDE axed these games.
Anyway,here are the links:
Pirates of the Caribbean:http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/potc/en/

Avatar:the last airbender :http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/avatar/en/

Not a problem,
I think the advertisement has something to do with it. But not everything. Look at all the competition. It is hard to make a TCG success without properly supporting the fanbase. And sponsering tournies.

KidChaor · 09-26-2008, 11:08 PM

i just started to watch the show again and i might buy a starter deck and see if i can get a couple of my friends into the game

also if u guys want to play Chaotic i could probably sell u a deck

energak · 10-19-2008, 10:48 PM

not sure if this is where to ask...but i was curious how i tell rarities on shaman king cards? i dont have alot but a couple of the precons, no one around here to play so not sure if anything i build would b worth it....b nice to figure some of this out,heh....but yeah, if anyone could help on the rarities id b very thankful.

omedus · 10-21-2008, 01:58 PM

Hi there,energak!It's good to know that someone else still has SK cards around.The rarity is defined by the colour on the code of the card.So we have:
white for common
blue for uncommon
and yellow for rare.
There are also the "spectergram"cards which are extremely rare foil cards.

energak · 10-21-2008, 07:39 PM

heh, i dont have any spectregrams......thats for sure...i cant find my rulebook either so i dont even know how to play exactly...doubt anything i have would b worth all that much, but when i bought them i was hoping more ppl in my are would play it, but alas...it wasnt meant to b, just wish i could play online or somethin...hey, thx for the info...helps me a lil bit atleast...
