I have many fond memories of my time playing Shadow Era. The game provided a relaxing dopamine rush in downtime as well as a fraternity I became a member of a ‘guild’ called The Rising Sun (RS). Between 20 I was an avid player of the game Shadow Era. The advent of online card games provided an opportunity for me to compete. ![]() ![]() Unfortunately as a poor kid from the inner-city I could never afford to play seriously. Trading card games have been a hobby of mine since I was a six year old playing Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh alongside collecting Magic the Gathering (MTG) and Digimon cards. Given the constraints of physics I had to accept the simulcrum of simulations. In another life I would have loved to be a wizard of some description. I read Terry Brooks’ Magic Kingdom of Landover series, the Hobbit and Pullman’s Dark Materials trilogy. Homunculus is a tribe of allies in Shadow Era.As a child I was fascinated by the fantasy genre. They were introduced in Dark Prophecies, with further support in Shattered Fates. This type of ally are made up of creatures which have been artificially created by their specific faction (they have members on both the Human and Shadow sides). They seem to have a wide range of effects, some involving the graveyard, attachments, and attack/health increasing. Lore: The Homunculus alignment is tied together by the idea of created allies, usually with some elemental (fire, ice, electrical) theme or being created from other allies. Then growing and augmenting them.Īs I look over the tribe in general and read the wiki about what the alignment is, I can’t help but think of the Frankenstein monster. So far the shadow side of the tribe revolves around discarding from the hand and exiling from any graveyards to manipulate the board and receives one or more bonuses from doing so.Įssentially the tribe is using “pieces” from your hand and “parts” from graveyards to grow your allies. The human side appears to be a wisp (no real synergy), electric theme and a combination of temporary and actual growth. The neutral side appear to be all over the place but provide some additional choices for both the human/shadow builds. Homunculus decks are generally ally heavy and very reliant on items and attachments specifically, with a splash of other abilities here and there. Sealed Deck tournaments are a ton of fun and ideal entry-level tournaments for players new to the game. Homunculus having access to all the different types of combat damage really makes me appreciate the Frankenstein approach of the tribe much more. The way it works in Shadow Era is simple: a selection of Class Decks is made available (usually multiples of each) and the players roll a dice to determine the order they get to choose one from the remaining selection after Class Decks have been selected, 2 booster packs are given to each. The Ravager are possibly one of the most complete Alignments in Shadow Era. They have a great blend of aggressive and defensive allies, ability damage, attack boosters, a variety of item/ability destruction and even negative effects removal. The only thing the alignment specifically lacks is a dedicated draw engine having to rely on Class/Faction cards to fill these needs. The Ravagers are also a combo oriented tribe, however they do not necessarily need to rely on combos in order to maintain their strategies. ![]() Shadow Era is a game designed so that anyone can be successful with any of the heroes available. In addition the Alignment also represents a lot of the cost mechanic Sustain ( read more here) to help offset some of the tremendous strengths of the tribe. Shadow Era is the full scale, cross-platform collectible buying and selling card. Try out different decks, but I highly suggest giving Victor. You should resolve which technique to use as you build your deck. I personally enjoy the tribe and have come to appreciate them through studying them. This guide is an evolving article which will change periodically, depending on balancing card changes or a change in my thought process after playing more with the cards. ![]()
