SLY IS NOW AVAILABLE!
Please welcome! NEW character! Sly the Black Serpent!
Hurry up to update the game and try out the new character! New unique cards archetypes, new strategies and new story chapter!
To celebrate the introduction of Sly, Deck of Ashes is on sale for 15% off of its normal price for a limited time on Steam ːsteamhappyː
WHO IS SLY?
💀Sly turned to the dark side after his innocent wife was executed for crimes of the rich and powerful. Striking form the shadows, he took his revenge on the rich offenders, the poor accomplices, and everyone in between.
With his moral compass destroyed, he turned to the path of robbery and unquenchable bloodthirst, and formed the gang of Outcasts. In their pursuit of power and twisted justice, eventually they released the Ash Curse upon the land. Corrupted by the Curse, Sly was consumed by shadows. The shadows granted him an ability to move unseen, superhuman speed and reflexes.
Yet, shadows brought the voices along. The voices of those slain by his hand. Threatening, moaning, accusing. They drive Sly insane, and he sets out to find Lady Death to make the voices disappear, with the help of mysterious Ash Master, a prophet with unknown past and ulterior motives. When two snakes journey into the Valley of Death, anything can happen.
CARD ARCHETYPES
🗡First archetype is based on the weakening of opponents - Bleeding plays an important role in it, it is periodic damage that can be increased with the help of attacks with the Strike type cards. Also, this archetype includes poisoning and stunning targets and is designed for the accumulation of negative effects on opponents.
🃏The second archetype is based on the creation of fragile copies. This is based on the fact that it can generate multiple cards, and this can be recreated in each new battle.
⚡The third archetype is special. It is based on non-playable cards. The effects of these cards work when they get drawn into the hand. A player doesn't need to play them out, so mana is not required. But everything has its own cons: non-playable attacking cards of this archetype affects either all opponents at once or random single ones. With this you are not be able to choose a specific opponent as a target. Remember this tip.
BATTLE NOTES
Please note that despite the recent release of Draft Mode, for the first playthrough we recommend to start the game with a standard deck. It will help you to understand better Sly's gameplay and mechanics of his cards :))
We are looking forward to your reactions and feedback about our new character ːsteamhappyː
