French utterly Broken

[Poppycock]

This resistance mechanic completely ruins the current game. There's no counter, no way to stop him from adding resistance cards to your hands, no way to stop you from using it due to cards revolving around damaging by the number of resistance cards in your hands. KARDS has once again remind me how much of a P2W game this is and is a complete waste of effort and time.

I mean how often do you run into a fully built resistance deck anyways?

I mean, full on hard meta french deck? Happens to me like twice a week, usually i just rush the game and move on.

I find it far more annoying that every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and their mother is using USSR as allies and they seem to draw 2 Katyusha and 2 Bloody sickles every game off the first draw out of 4-6 cards. Actually stupid how common it happens to me.

Or The Hammer *shudders in disgust*. On a serious note I do encounter alot of French resistance deck hence why I posted this. Like just yesterday I fought 3 resistance game out of 5 and I rage quit at the last one cause it was so bs. But yes I know what you are saying, its quite ridiculous how some of the cards in this game is quite clearly broken..

They want to annoy the enemy - They want to torture the enemy !

They build Ressistance Decks, Discard Decks or Commando Decks.
I go play my Comando Deck now :)

At the very least for new players like me with a limited collection they are almost, almost, downright unbeatable. I feel there should be an easier way to acquire cards for new players or if not a improvement for the 4 basic starters because they are really really bad.

Draft is too RNG

There is not as much randomness involved as you think. Drafting has a lot to do with experience - in ccgs in general (how a good draft deck is built) and especially the knowledge what cards are strong in Kards matters a lot. E.g. one of the biggest mistakes of new players is drafting by card rarerity. The Elite card is not always the best pick.

Of course I understand that the elite card is not always the best pick, I really do. But It is frustrating with how some cards have the same cost but have significantly higher damage (I'm looking at The Hammer and For the People specifically) and how some cards are just generally all around more useful (TYPE 93 vs MODEL 25 for example).

There's also the problem of not having that needed amount of certain cards. For example in the guide you posted, it states that:

"All five decks had 28 nation plus 12 ally cards, equally represented (i.e. 40 each x 5 = 200). A-tier cards, measured by inclusion of four or more total copies across the five decks upon reaching FM, were:
USA: M8 Greyhound, M16 Half-Track*, 30th Regiment, M4 Sherman, Death from Above*
Soviet: Bloody Sickle, Katyusha*, From the People, T-34-85
Japan: Imperial Order, Naval Operation, Osaka Regiment
German: Panzer 35(t), Panzer III-J*
Britain: Lancashire Fusiliers"

The limited cards in there are rather hard for a new player to get, and they are significant game changer. The M16 Half Track for example is a real game changer that helps control the field by sending the opponents card back into their hands, hampering their play. The Katyusha is a cheap artillery with blitz and a random plus 1 damage if it hits. The Death from Above is a guarantee kill at the cost of 4 kreds, crazy good! But as it stands these cards are not easy to come by and crafting in this game is so hard as they limit you on what you can recycle (forcing you to recycle only when you have a full stack of same cards is ridiculous in my opinion).

The guide also recommend the following;

3 x M8 Greyhound
2 x M16 Half-Track*
3 x 30th Regiment
3 x M4 Sherman
2 x Death from Above*
3 x Bloody Sickle
2 x Katyusha*
3 x From the People
3 x T-34-85

as part of your deck building for your first deck but like I stated above, new players just have no chance in getting them if they cannot complete their progression due to the game losses to get gold to either participate in drafts or buying a pack and buying the pack often results in the same cards you already have due to the limited amount of cards available.

At this point I'm actually more frustrated by the way the game is made than the actual gameplay itself. I genuinely do appreciate the help that you are giving and I love how most of the community are so helpful.

Wow! I actually didn't know there was a card like that, I guess that is inexperience in my part.

Eh, played this morning at like 7am and just now at around 2pm. Ran into the same player using a french resistence deck like 5 times between the 2 sessions. Pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ greasy dude. The first game was a real crapfest, dude literally had everything he needed right off the bat, was a complete steam roll. The other 4 games i remained in the game for long enough to make it close, but yea....far too many orders synergizing with commandos. Basically tried to mass draw the end to get my eagles claws but naturally, no where to be found. lol

Ill tell you what was a hell of a lot more annoying then losing to him though....Some jackass playing a Brit/♥♥♥ mass pin control deck. Oh lordy ive never been so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ frustrated in my life. Went about 20 turns of getting chain pinned/pegged away at. Thank christ its an expensive deck to build or id probably quit this game if it started becoming common.

Wow you really do have it rough playing against these decks. I find that the only way I could really play against the Brit/♥♥♥ mass pins is by having a lot of removal cards to get rid of their field so that the mass pins loses it overall effect. But I'm still pretty new to the game so this might just sound some hogwash to you so maybe someone else could help you there.

This is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying and overrated. I wish there wasn´t france in this game. [imgur.com]

Completely agree that the resistance cards are OP. Was playing one with my aggro German and ♥♥♥ deck. He got some resist cards in my hand then played air unit that got a benefit from each resist card in my hand. Game was over st this point. Balancing a game like this is tricky, but it's just too obvious the resist cards are broken.

I don´t think france resistance are impossible to beat, but they do an unique ugly style of play. And its overrated if you consider their contribution to WWII. You should so have a lot of partizans (like yugo) doing the same or even a better job. Or maybe a housekeeper from Arkansas working on a bomb factory. With all given respect to french people I dont think their resistance should be PIVOTAL on a WWII game, and I´m saying this much more as an history buff than a gamer
