“The Nightmare of Distribution. I’m pretty sure it’s not an issue in US, but it definitely is in Europe. In my country, all the stores we tried to contact literally declined to support the game and the only store that kept the game also discontinued because of it. We literally had to deal with a store in the UK just to have our supplies at a minimum, because official distributors didn’t “want” to send supplies here, and the direct contact from FoW Co, called dstrib, literally said they can’t give us support only by distribution.
(Because of this, no league promos, no official supplies, nothing we can give away to newcomers. Anything “free” new players get were bought by us, and we spent lots of money just to create a new community. I’m sure only a few, if any, people would do this.)
Keep it in mind this wasn’t the case with ANY card games aside from Kaijudo, which, as we all know, died. ONE of the actual reasons the game died was that they didn’t distributed in Europe while people literally begged to Wizards to give us a chance too.”
MisterBurkes:
“Green Dragon is not the best dragon. Its ruler side is a mandatory trigger, making it horrible to play when on the draw for turns 1-3.
Blue Dragon and White Dragon are contenders for the best dragon. Blue Dragon’s ruler side is a built-in Hydromonica/Scry 1, and it’ll still be around after Shion/Hydromonica rotates out. White Dragon is interesting because it helps you trade favorably in early turns, and his flip effect clears the field, including additions and regalia, making it superior to Eternal Recurrence for the same converted cost.
Red Dragon is somewhere in the middle. Its ruler side effect is decent but his flip effect damage is 200 damage short to be really effective.
Black Dragon is also pretty underwhelming and is easily worse than Val 3’s ruler side effects.
Off-topic: It was also too difficult to count all the “Milliums” last time.”
RedZoneRogue:
“The rumors of our demise have been greatly exaggerated – FoW isn’t dead but in fact growing.
I still see comments on the official FoW Facebook page saying things like “I thought this game died.”

“Team Outer World is the best team in Force of Will.”

“Dark alice (bae) will be the top ruler for the collinsville agp due to a favourable matchup against the new terror that is fox and a generally favourable matchup against other control rulers due to removing remnant.”
Fenrisblackmane:
“The new special magic stones will sill see significant play in dual color decks as they will increase consistency especially in the early game.”
“Due to the high level of control in the current meta the Arla combo will not Top in the US this AGP Season. The top decks will be in no particular order: Fox, Dark Alice, Mikage, Sol, Valentina 3.0. Lumia Will be the new rogue deck.”
DonutFuton:
“We are going to see at least 2 Tier One rulers in the next set (RDE)...
