New Shipments Arriving?

Word on the street is that more EoJ bundles are showing up around the place. While we can offer no definitive proof, personal accounts of people finding the bundle are popping up. This is great news for people who have had poor luck just trying to find the game — much less the Phantom cards.

What isn’t arriving are booster packs. Stores are still sold out and you’ll be a lucky person to find a couple hanging on the shelves. However, atleast in Canada, Boosters are expected to arrive at card shops on the 3rd of November provided there is no shipping delay.

This begs an interesting question, did Sony underestimate the popularity of the game? You can’t blame them for holding back on shipments, there are a lot of moving parts to the EoJ that could scare off the average consumer. News like this is very encouraging not only for the fact it’s always great to see a game you like to well in sales but for the staying-power of EoJ.

It will be a sigh of relief when anyone who wants or is curious about Eye of Judgment is able to get their hands on the game and cards. It’s only a matter of time now but for those that are just finding the game, be sure to check out the new players guide.

What New Cards Would Be Cool?

As with any card game, there will always be new cards added to the mix to change up strategies. Eye of Judgment will be no different. While changes won’t be a earth shattering as a new element (it would totally change the gameplay) or inserting new types other than creatures and spells, there could be some crazy abilities down the road.

There is already a nice selection of crazy cards. I, personally, have much love for the Cubics who are so unsuspecting but can decide battles if they have the chance to summon something devastating. Battle patterns also keep every square on the field open game at the turn of a card. You have to give credit where credit is due, there is a great system in place already.

Just off the top of my head, I thought that fusion spell cards would be neat to see. Just put a restriction that they have to be the same element and an insane mana cost. Imagine a Biolith Battle Chariot and a Taurus Monolith combined, it would strike fear into the Phantoms.

EoJ Shortages?

It appears that some EoJ fans on the internet are having trouble locating the Blu-ray disc + the PlayStation Eye bundle in parts of America. Booster packs seem to have made it to store shelves but the anecdotal evidence seems to point at shipping troubles? The reason for the question is because we just don’t know at this point but we’ll try and investigate further.

The friendly neighbor to the north (Canada) seems to have the opposite problem. Enough bundles but no boosters to be found. Hopefully, this is part of the growing pains of a new title that has many parts going into it at once. Hopefully with the new week starting, this will all be a distant memory. As some people have pointed out already, you can directly order EoJ boosters and theme decks from Hasbro’s website. While not as instantly gratifying as going to the store and impulse buying the shiny foil packs, you do get cards as opposed to calling your local Walmart every 5 minutes and making customer service go nuts… If they were in stock. We have no hard evidence to support how widespread the issue is but, for fans, it’s a little disheartening not being able to customize a really cool game, for awhile that is.
