[zzZerozz]

Today's card is yet another screen shot.
0/0 2.5k
If there are no other characters in the front row, this card get +1 Level and +1000.

Can't upload the pix now coz I am at work. =P

the screenshot.

New preview, not screenshot  . lv 3 haruka.
I really hope this is exclusive TD cards so there's another red lv3 for the booster. Usually TD's lv3 sucks.


and the climax.
glad annindofu is still the one drawing climax cards, beautiful art.

lluzz, this Lv3 Haruka IS a TD exclusive card. And I'm predicting five different TD exclusive cards for IM/S14's TD. The climax, however, isn't, and so will appear in the boosters. This Lv3 is decently strong, I would say.

Normally I prefer to heal 1 clock but shooting for 1 damage is good too coz if you can kill your opponent, why bother to heal or hope for KAMI CANCEL! (Cancelling 3 times in a row.)

The card number is 105 so it is an exclusive card for the TD. I expect 2 of it to be inside.
The climax synergy is so so. I rather put in the climax I want which is the same as Go my way and has synergy with the RR Haruka from the first booster.

Also the card does not say when it comes into play from change so I guess a level 2 cannot change into this early game. Ah well, wait for the boosters for some level 2s which can change to level 3 then.

"The climax synergy is so so. I rather put in the climax I want which is the same as Go my way and has synergy with the RR Haruka from the first booster."

Ah, zero, you don't need to SPECIFICALLY use Go My Way to get the +1500 power, the card's effect states "When you put A climax card into your climax slot", not "When you put GO MY WAY!! into your climax slot". There's no climax synergy what-so-ever. That's what makes this decently strong in my opinion.

And why bother about being able to change out at Lv2? The pay one shoot one damage is for finishing moves, I'd rather hold this and release it at Lv3 instead of changing it out earlier on. Look at it this way, give it a pay two discard one to change, let's say the Lv2 is one cost, you will need four stock to change out AND shoot one. If that one stock is used for shooting characters, retrieval, or tutoring, being able to change out at Lv2 is definitely a good option.

They should be doing this sooner, making TD's lv3 exclusive (not just with imas).
Since each color only got 1 lv3 and TD cards is almost always a common (somethimes uncommon), the color represented in the TD will be denied a decent finisher.

Let's say you're building a red blue deck and can only put 1 kind of lv3 in it. You sure as hell wont be using haruka.

[Shdwfalcon]

Ah, they have already done it before. To Aru Majutsu no Index, and Shakugan no Shana are currently (and also happen to be the most recent releases at the time of this post) the only ones with TD exclusive Lv3 characters. Im@s2 will be the third. Unless I miss out some older series which had them.

Don't be surprised when people are using two or more different Lv3 in their decks. I'm guilty of that, and even ran three different Lv3 characters before. Ultimately, its up to personal play style and preference.

"Since each color only got 1 lv3 and TD cards is almost always a common (somethimes uncommon), the color represented in the TD will be denied a decent finisher."

I would agree on that, except that recently, from Milky Holmes onwards, almost every single Lv3 character ended up in the R or RR category, and more are being slotted into the RR group. Which isn't exactly nice for casual players in general, since they don't actually have a "cheaper" alternative to a Lv3 character. Getting a Lv3 is not funny, when two of them are RR and one is R. That leaves one in U, which will hamper casual players in more ways than money.

And today's card of the day (S14-T01 TD 私服の雪歩 ) looks decently strong too.

[lluzz]

Yeah just recently. I mean they should've think about it sooner.
I know, i used 2 lv3s in my deck. I mean if you can only choose 1 in a red blue deck, you're certainly will not go for haruka.

Imo, they're going the right way. lv3 should be either R or RR only. It's your bomb, finisher.
If your finisher is just a mediocre C/U card, tough luck, you only get 1 kind of lv 3.
Basically WS is an expensive game, more so than other card games. So i think for WS players/collectors, cheap is really not an option. 

Shdwfalcon, you're doing the wiki about Imas WS?
Got some correction for you.

These 2 PRs, if you look really closely then you'll realise that the logo is not Idolm@ster 2 but Idolm@ster Anime.
Kinda gives you a spoiler that there will be another imas expansion after this one.
Of course IF the anime became a hit which i doubt it. 

[Shdwfalcon]

Yea, I noticed about the logo, but since the cards are printed under serial code IM/S14, its still classified under the series which is labeled The iDOLM@STER 2, so I'm not going to separate them out. Still, thanks for the heads up, I'm gonna put that logo information into the remarks slot.

Ah, I have a Yoshina/Hecate deck which uses the Lv3 Hecate (SS/W14-085 U). Its only an uncommon, its climax synergy is nothing special, but that heal one is enough. No need for some random powerful ability. I agree that the Lv3 Haruka from iM@S really is crap, its undeniable. But its a common, its prechange ability is a pay one drop one to change. Generally, they should have one Lv3 under uncommon, the rest can be R, and prolly one RR. Or, to put it in another way, it should be at least an uncommon, with focus on being R.

But since the old iM@S runs entirely on Music trait, you can easily mix in different colours for a huge variety of compensations. That's what so fun about the IM series, its so versatile, you can build all kinds of funny decks in IM, and they can still somehow troll. XD

[lluzz]

I still dont know what they're thinking when they make that Ai/Mai support the only character in imas that do not have Music trait.
It cripples my deck severely when the door trigger is the only way i can dig her up.

BTW, the TD cards is out. The sign by annindofu
(i nid to have this one  )


The other sign is supposedly a lv2 miki, but i havent got the pic yet.
The TD exclusive card is haruka, yayoi, miki, yukiho & a climax card.

[lluzz]

The rest of the TD exclusive :

[lluzz]

The rest of good picture card a.k the not screenshot one. 



and the signed miki is supposed to be this one

[zzZerozz]

All the cards are here:
http://orenoturn.com/1075.html

I don't like the 1/0 +1500 power Yayoi. There is already a Yukiho card in Imas Dearly Stars which does the same thing and more.

Also don't like the 1/0 Miki. The metagame is now 1/1 7ks. If I don't have stock, I will take the 1/0 5.5k Hibiki for 500 less power.

Well at least red now has its 1/1 7k with a minor setback. Doubt I will put in the 2/2 9k verison in my Imas decks so the 1/1 7k will stay 1/1 7k.

Also like the clock encore 2/2 8.5k Miki and its strange that it isn't a TD exclusive considering Erza from Fairy Tail TD had the same ability and was a TD exclusive.

Rest of the cards I guess are ok.

[zzZerozz]

Oh yea sadly this TD is weaker than others because its climax triggers are not change and it has no climax synergy. =/

Hmm there will be a official tournament for Imas 2 TD VS Bakemonogatari TD. Guess Imas 2 TD will dominate late gate due to higher power levels and the yayoi support pumps more than the Bakemonogatari TD.

Too bad the PR card given for that tourney is Bakemonogatari though. -_-"
