Posted by soulwarrior in releases on February 23rd, 2010
Unfortunately, my weekly column Suppe für den soul has to take a break – and I can’t even say for sure how long that break’s gonna be.
I’ve summed up all the reasons in the last article for now: Suppe für den soul – commercial break.
Suppe für den soul – What now?
Posted by soulwarrior in releases on February 15th, 2010
Upper Deck and Blizzard didn’t renew their license agreement. This means that from April on, Upper Deck is no longer allowed to publish the WoW TCG.
What happens next isn’t entirely clear at this point. In my weekly column, I tried to give as much background information of what happened and what might happen next: Suppe für den soul – What now?

Final Kartefakt issue #100 released
Posted by soulwarrior in News, releases on February 9th, 2010
This week, the historical issue #100 of Germany’s oldest magazine about Trading Card Games has been released. Unfortunately, it will also be the last issue of it.
It seems the ever changing market for TCG magazines has hit a downward swing – also thanks to the growing importance of the internet where players can find information often faster and, more importantly, cheaper. Nevertheless, it has been quite a ride for the Kartefakt. The magazine was about to be discontinued before, but found a way to make it to the 100.
The final issue features an interesting article about the history of TCG’s on top of the regular features you should all be familiar with by now. Additionally, #16 of the Kartefakt Virtual has been released. I’m not entirely sure if it’s also the final issue, but you might find out rather quick once you take a look at it. You can find it together with some more information about the final issue of the Kartefakt on the homepage: Kartefakt.de.
I would like to thank the amazing team of the Kartefakt for the long lasting work relationship we had. I enjoyed providing the Yu-Gi-Oh! and World of Warcraft content for the magazine and wish the whole team all the best for the future!

Suppe für den soul – Core Crazyness
Posted by soulwarrior in releases on February 8th, 2010
The Core format is shaking up the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game. Although it took most players some time to get used to the idea of a Best of One format, the acceptance is now ever growing. Part of the reasons are the potential decks that can be built in the new environment.
This issue of my weekly column presents some of the fancier ideas I could come up with, so check it out: Suppe für den soul – Core Crazyness.
Der Versammlungsstein – The Chain and Priority
Posted by soulwarrior in releases on February 8th, 2010
Sorry, this news comes a little late as the article’s been published a while ago. Same goes for the following news and I hope you don’t mind (too much).
The chain is simply the most important element in the World of Warcraft TCG. Pretty much everything happening during a game – whether you’re placing a resource, play an ability or declare an attack – will be resolved using the chain. So it should come as no surprise to you that understanding the chain is key to being successful.
This article should help you to master this important element: Der Versammlungsstein – The Chain and Priority.
Open letter to Upper Deck
Posted by soulwarrior in News on January 25th, 2010
My team, the Bootcamp L.E. has put together an open letter directed to Upper Deck. This way, we wanted to make the company aware of some things that are extremely disappointing to us.
We started an online petition and already saw more than 150 players signing it. Additionally, we were already able to add a Dutch translation thanks to the help of Jeffrey Verwoerd. We hope to see more of the amazing support and would like you to sign it, too!
You can find the open letter here.

Suppe für den soul – The WoW TCG OP 2010
Posted by soulwarrior in releases on January 19th, 2010
Last week’s announcement took most European WoW TCG players by surprise as they didn’t expect this year’s OP schedule to not contain any European DMF’s. However, not everything’s as bad as it seemed at first as European OP reps have now confirmed that there actually will be some DMF’s on this side of the ocean.
That’s still not all. With the introduction of the Core format, Upper Deck pretty much divided the player base with most experienced players thinking that a Best of One format can’t be any good at all. I tried to look a little deeper into the topic and came up with some interesting facts that support Upper Deck’s claim that the format will be good for the game.
