Durr's favourite scroll: Iron Whip

Currently my favourite card in scrolls has to be Iron Whip, it's versatile and low cost. Whilst a very new card, being one of the recently released energy cards, it can really pull it's weight. The general usage I find for it early game is the 1 poke damage, useful for removing memorials and Sister Of The Fox. By removing these 2 early on you can slow a growth deck down significantly by removing targets for an early Fertile Soil. The...

Hurr's top 5 Sega Megadrive games

    5. The Lion King     Possibly one of the most infuriating games I have ever played, although this was probably easy compared to the likes of Ecco the Dolphin. The Lion King is a solid example of when games based on movies were actually good. The game itself is a platform game, with Simba as the main character (with Timon and Pumba available in bonus levels). The most difficult, and the most fun part of the...

Rocket Knight Adventures, an amazing platformer few had heard of

One of my favorite games from my childhood was a title called Rocket Knight Adventures and still sticks fondly in my memory. Funnily enough though I never owned a copy of the game! It used to be my go to rental game in the golden age of rentals where as a child you could spend up to an hour just deciding what game to rent!. The reason I loved this game at the tender age of 10 was it was such a breath of fresh air compared...

Hurr’s experience of the online community as a female gamer

Although I believe that gamers in general are over the whole “there are no girls on the internet” drivel, there still seems to be a depressing amount of animosity towards female gamers.  I’d never before seen a reason to purposefully hide my gender, and I never understood why some people think it would affect my ability to play games. My first experience with online gaming was with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (yes I know this probably...

Why Quake is Hurr's favourite scroll

Quake - the ultimate double edged sword. When I first encountered this card, I absolutely despised it. Admittedly that was only because it was a complete ball-ache once I had placed my units all perfectly on the field, only to have them wiped out in one move and my opponent taunting me with “LOLQUAKE”. I soon discovered however that Quake can be dealt with if you plan carefully. Keeping an eye on your enemies ramp is key, as soon as they reach...

How Durr successfully created a monster

Before playing scrolls, my only experience with card games was from playing Pokémon as a kid. And even then I was tricked into trading my beloved shiny Chansey card for two standard cards (under the false pretence that it was a better deal). So when Durr told me about scrolls I was a bit sceptical about how I would fair against a seasoned MTG player, but I was up for the challenge all the same. The first few games were rather intimidating...

Durr's opinion on the current balance of scrolls (Alpha 0.77)

My thoughts on the current version of scrolls (Alpha 0.77): I feel that growth as it currently stands is a lot more powerful than order and energy by a long chalk.  You only need look at the top 20 players currently, although I’m not 100% I would say that nearly all of them are running growth, or a variation of growth mixing in with one of the other factions. Growth has everything the other factions can offer. I will list the main...
