Hero Up! Super Hero Squad Online Card Game Discussion

[Charles LePage]

I was curious where people were buying/ordering from. It seems like no game stores seem to be carrying this. I'd have thought even Target or Walmart might, but they don't. Now not even the card game/board game/miniature game stores are. Anyone wanna help with maybe an online retailer?

I bought mine from Dave And Adams. It was the first time I've used them, and I recommend them.

Thank you all!

We're still working on creating a detailed trading template on the wiki. If we can flag down the last remaining card rarities (the ones at the bottom) we'll be all set. Here's a link to the template: http://superherosquadonline.wikispac...ate.Trade+Page

It would let people track the cards they want and the ones they're looking for. I'm hesitant to make a lot of trading pages live before we have the card rarity list finalized as I don't want to have to redo what's already done, but I did add a traders section to the sidebar. Here's the direct link: http://superherosquadonline.wikispaces.com/Traders

The pages themselves can act as an online checklist for each person and I'd be happy to add trading pages for anybody interested in collecting the physical cards. I just might wait a few days before adding them to make sure we have the rarities sorted out. I want the final template to link to each card's page on the wiki too, which should make it a pretty powerful reference tool.

PS - If any Gazillion or Amazing Society employees read this post and would like to make my life a little easier, please feel free to contact me by IM. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK, I saw that and your right should probably wait until we have a more complete or complete list... I am really curious how it's going to turn out.

I will for now just make my own Spreadsheet... I have no idea what order to go in. I also have no cards now so it's not a big problem.

Does anyone with connections know if we'll get a sale on cards (online) soon or other promotion involving them? I'm still really jealous of the European servers getting that bonus booster pack deal for buying a certain number of packs.

I just got whipped four straight by The Island Lancer. If anyone wants a tough test against old school skills, look him up.

I GOT MY HANDS ON MY FIRST BOX OF THE SHSO TCG TODAY!!

My Local Comic Shop (LCS) got them in today, and has the Boosters, Starters, and 2-Player Decks on sale..! So keep asking your LCS to order them, and they'll eventually cave! :D
Otherwise, Toys R Us, Target may eventually get them, but they don't always get things right at street date, and it depends on the store whether they carry many TCG's or not. Most important thing to do is ASK the employees, managers and they can find out for you. If they aren't planning on getting it, let them know you are interested in them carrying it... it might just get them to order some! Otherwise, check out dacardworld.com or pokeorder for all your Squaddie Cardie needs!

Video of unboxing and unwrapping of some packs to follow in the next day or so! Got some nice looking cards and also snagged the Wolverine Starter, and have a unboxing and Deck List breakdown for that one too! And Kirby Monster picked up Iron Man's Starter, so he'll show that off at some point as well!

So far, all the Starters seem pretty good. There's some kind of random cards they work in, and they seem to include every factor. I've only gotten to play with the Hulk against the Spidey thus far, and Spidey kicked my butt until I was able to work in some other cards. But excited to play with the Wolverine soon...! Gonna get my heal on!

Anywho, I have at least three videos in the works for you guys and gals! Two Unboxings, and one Card League Match-Up! The latter of the two will also include a Deck List for one of my favorite League Decks, which has seen success in numerous matches!

There should be more of those to follow, and this time I promise they'll have a decent resolution! :P

If you look at the start of the Card Game thread, there's a list of decks that have been posted. Thus far, I have posted the most by far, although not all of them are ones I've used in the actual league. Some of the ones I've posted recently can be found at the following links here, here, and here.

Older decks that have been posted by me include my Multi-Madness deck that lead to the copycats, Wasp Weenie, my original Spider-Man posting, and an Iron Man deck.

I have others, as I've got over 20 distinct decks made, but I have to keep some secrets for the league. That's 9 decks posted if I'm counting correctly, which is more than everyone else combined.

Oh Bronn, I highly doubt you were the first person to think of making a Multi deck..! Everyone of us who had enough cards to build one has tried to do so. Silly man. :P

I have a bunch of decks I'm planning on posting soon as I rotate in some newer ones.

I also want to restructure the way the Table of Contents is done, since we are seeing more posts per day and more decks and everything are being posted. That way we can have more content linked more easily.

OK, I saw that and your right should probably wait until we have a more complete or complete list... I am really curious how it's going to turn out.

I will for now just make my own Spreadsheet... I have no idea what order to go in. I also have no cards now so it's not a big problem.

I've actually got a spreadsheet I've been working on that's pretty far along at the moment for Foundation. I could share it with everyone in another couple days when it's ready. I had to build it because I thought the Upper Deck one was sorely lacking in info.. :/

It's nearly ready, and looks pretty good, if I do say so myself! :D
It's default sorting is alphabetically by HERO, but being a spreadsheet you can change up the sorting how you need. I've got the Card Titles, Team Affiliation, (other) Associations (like Gambit is listed for Rogue), Factor, Block, Power Level, Attack Damage, Rarity, and whether or not it is a Keeper/for how much. Plus... CHECK BOXES!!! Huzzah for CHECK BOXES!!! Hahah

I'm building it in Apple's Pages program. I am hoping to export it as a pdf that will allow people to click the check boxes and sort by various headings, but I don't know if that's entirely possible.. In any case, I'll at least export it as a Excel spreadsheet as well as Pages. Or maybe I'll just convert it to a Google Doc for maximum compatibility...? I dunno, does anyone have good experience with spreadsheet programs and know if it's possible to make a spreadsheet a PDF file that can be sorted and whatnot...?

No idea right now. My connections have been pretty quiet as of late, and they haven't ever told me about a sale ahead of time. It'd probably hurt the game's economy to do so, unfortunately.. :/

What I DO think would be an excellent promotion for them to do is have the redeem codes in the physical TCG packaging be redeemed for Gold packs for a limited time to encourage online players to purchase the physical TCG. That way those of us who have already spent a lot of money on the game online can be given incentive for buying them offline.

I WILL tell you that I've been realizing that there are a large amount of cards that aren't in the Online game yet in the physical TCG. And there are also many Rise of Heroes and Unleashed cards NOT included in Foundation... they're likely spreading them out a bit more, but I thought that was pretty interesting... there's a lot more Quest cards and new cards here...!


Okay, time to finish this work. More video and whatnot soon!

Great Idea DD! Womprat set me up a Chart here. If I can fill in any blanks so that we can get a complete list together please let me know. I should get my order in the mail tomorrow and that SHOULD be enough to get us a complete list.

Also, sorry for not letting you know before now, both AvsX started decks were shuffled in all the excitement to play, so I have no idea what came in them

Oh that's okay, man! I figured that may have been the case, especially with you having little ones and all! No worries! Just figured I'd ask just in case you had them separated still!
I know I'll likely pick up an AvX deck eventually because I don't seem to be getting as many of those teams as I thought I would. Or maybe someone else will get one before then.. we'll see!

Thank you! And yes, we will have to coordinate the info and we can get a nice sortable list to use. I'll certainly be checking the wiki as usual too. I'll have to ask Womprat if he knows the best way to handle it too, or even if the one he is building is already more complete. Anywho, I'll probably get to it over the next couple days and figure out where I am missing info.

Okay, back to work with DD!

I've never seen a PDF like that. I normally use Google Docs for sharing spreadsheet easily.

I WILL tell you that I've been realizing that there are a large amount of cards that aren't in the Online game yet in the physical TCG. And there are also many Rise of Heroes and Unleashed cards NOT included in Foundation... they're likely spreading them out a bit more, but I thought that was pretty interesting... there's a lot more Quest cards and new cards here...!

Hmm, for some reason I thought that you had already seen the full list of cards in the online game? Or maybe that was Baron Zemo? Womprat has a spreadsheet of all 600 cards (including the unreleased cards) that has things like the power/damage/factor/effect/etc as columns. Foundation has 300 cards, so they must be starting with just half of the 600 cards and saving the rest for future expansion packs.

Womprat has asked for people to verify the rarities, so they must have tweaked the rarity of some cards. But as far as I know, the other card attributes are the same, so you could re-use Womprat's spreadsheet to save effort. Re-entering the data for 300 cards seems like a waste of effort if it's already in electronic form.

Hmm.. yeah, maybe that was wishful thinking on my part. I know you can do some kind of functionality things like that in Adobe Acrobat, but it may be way more complicated than I can invest the time in, and still not have the desired results..? I'll share the list regardless soon, though. I have ones like it for RoH and UL, but have not done VF yet.

It's actually not too difficult! With the RoH and UL lists, I just downloaded the pdf's they have on the site, copied all the text, pasted it in a spreadsheet and made some edits..! It wasn't too bad.

This one, I downloaded the excel sheet Upper Deck provided, but it only had the Hero and the Card Name (as is what Womprat and AZ are working from at the moment). It didn't have the Team, Factor, Block, Rarity, etc. that the other ones did so I had to add that stuff. A lot of it I simply enter once then copy and paste in the proper areas, but other than that I like organizing information so that I can sort it the ways I need to... The wiki does a lot of that for me too, though which is probably why I didn't do one for VF, but Foundation we're still learning a lot of and have to scan, etc. since there are so many new cards.

And there are actually quite a few that aren't even programed in the game, as per that list Baron Zemo/Womprat had been posting! I was surprised about that too! When I went onto the wiki to just add the images, some of them weren't listed in any location! For instance, that Emma Frost one I posted some pages back was brand new I believe..? There's more than that too.

I kind of had assumed that Rise of Heroes and Unleashed cards would make up the majority of the Foundation set, with some Card Quests sprinkled in as well. And I didn't think to actually check for them once the list was released until I was making the spreadsheet, but there are a lot of cards from RoH that are so ubiquitous in the online game right now that I kind of consider them as "core" cards, that are not in the Foundation set at all!

I agree, they are very likely to show up in future physical sets, and they wanted to spread things around... but it's just weird not to see them!


...Okay, I just looked up the RoH and Unleashed lists, and it's actually a little less than I thought. It's just a handful like Quick Save, Brain Drain, Super Spider-Squad, Sock It To Ya!, and then the "vanilla" cards (effect-less) like Mind Over Matter, Explosive Leap, Blademaster, Goodnight Kiss, Trick Web, and Group Hug, non of which are integral cards, but it's just weird not to have them around as options to fill some gaps in my decks. Quick Save is the one I'm missing the most thus far, as it is a great card for retention in F4 decks.

Anyway, there are still a ton of cards to choose from and I ain't complaining... just getting used to not having some cards accessible yet!

The Emma Frost card (Mind Reader) is in the full list of 600 cards. The wiki doesn't have all 600 cards, because a lot of them haven't been released yet for SHSO. But they all appear in the code for the game (even the loot cards). I think we may be talking about different lists... eh, Womprat is a smart fellow and he can sort it out if he has time.

There is a game store near me, so I may check out some cards this weekend if I have time. Hopefully, the card game will have reached more stores by then.

Mason 2-1 over Fighting Raven

In a blood bath, I walked away with a slim victory. Raven you are an animal!

Those were some of the least-defensive games I've ever played, there was practically no blocking on either side, sheer bashing away!

Has anyone had any luck getting the physical card game in Canada yet? Please share if you've seen it anywhere!
