Only 1 Barrack
« on: July 07, 2014, 09:10:50 PM »
So I was building up spellbooks with FiF and when I tried to build a 2nd Warlord spellbook, I noticed that I only had 1 Barrack. Panicked, I was about to call my friends to ask them if they had 3 Barrack instead of 2, but before that I went to check the card list first and noticed that FvsW only had 1 Barrack. What a bummer :(

Just like all the other spawnpoints in the game (Lair, Gate to Voltari, Pentagram...) - one copy only. ;)

Yes, warlord! No other victory feels more rewarding. =)

Except for battle forge. There's two of that in the core set.

Oh you are right. I forgot I have 2 core set, so assumed there was 2 of them.

Still would have been nice to get 1 in FiF :)

Here is my suggested solution for this problem: Get a decent photo printer (combined with scanner).
Thats an expensive solution on how to get one extra barracks. But its a cheap sollution on how to get an extra copy of any card you like in any game you want.
(It kinda does require you to sleeve your cards, But thats something Id reccomend anyway. I use this trick all the time. I just make a copy and slide it in front of a surplus card Im not using for anything atm.)

I hate sleeved cards. I will just experiement with a no-barrack warlord or buy a 2nd copy of FvsW.

(Side note: you also get two copies of Construction Yard in FiF. To correct what I wrote earlier: there is only one copy of every creature spawnpoint :) )

Whatever!  ;)

No, true, I forgot those. Still, most spawnpoints only have one copy.

Actually, it's a recent policy change on AW's part.  All(?) Epic Mage-Only cards used to have only one included in any particular set.  But apparently players either complained, or (in a poll AW conducted back in early 2013) they indicated a distinct preference for having two of them.  So, once the results of the complaints and/or polls were tallied, AW now includes two of pretty much everything in every subsequent set.  Sets that came out prior to DvN were not changed however, for obvious reasons.

Upside: going forward at least, we can expect two of every spawnpoint (and other Epic/Unique/etc cards) in every new set.
