Blox Cards is a card experience created by Chaos Organization, a community created by IcyTea, where players face off against others using a deck of 40 cards using strategic attack moves and defenses against one another. The Sword Fights on the Heights IV Experience references Blox Cards.[1]
The Experience has the moderate maturity level for the following content:[2]
- Violence (Moderate/Occasional)
- Blood (Realistic/Light)
- Crude Humor (Mild)
- Gambling (Unplayable Gambling Content)
Gameplay[]
BLOX Cards' gameplay has been said to be similar to SNK vs Capcom Card Fighters DS (2007), in which players start out with icons to summon cards. Then cards that become summoned are locked (unless they have a condition of being able to be unlocked at the start). The mechanics, however, reflect those of Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh with designs similar to Pokémon TCG, varying the current metagame. Myrmiredon works on the gameplay aspect of the game as well as directing what cards should and shouldn't have in their stats and skills. Since 2016, he has assisted in providing events, tournaments, and rebalancing updates to the game.
Development[]
In the summer of 2015, he requested some scripters in the Scripters sub-forum to help him work on a card game called 'BLOX Cards'. After a few days, he met with user drager980 to start on the Pre-Alpha release which then progressed until Alpha release. IcyTea made approximately 200-250 cards for BLOX Cards to kickstart the Alpha release of the game.
During the Alpha release, drager980 parted ways with IcyTea and suggested Visleaf to help continue the scripting and ultimately the reworks of BLOX Cards. Notable community members such as Myrmiredon, mitpaul, inechi, Dun_Goof, and Arceusdon (including the Wikia members and administrators of the Blox Cards Wikia) helped shape the game, aiding IcyTea with the game's core gameplay as well as new features.
The game became a seldom success, having very similar features to older card games on Roblox with an updated design. Shedletsky praised the game for its uniqueness as a card game on Roblox at the time of release. It is one of the few active card games on the site.
Involvement with Roblox administrators[]
When Shedletsky started to talk about BLOX Cards and enjoy it, the team decided to create an Exodia-type card for Shedletsky, known as Shedletsky the Fried One. The Next Level then did a poll the week after that on which game they should stream (Hexaria or BLOX Cards), BLOX Cards lost the vote to Hexaria by six tallies on their Twitter around September 2015. As of April 2018, there have been no plans to promote the game on The Next Level.
During The Next Level around September 2015, they stated that his game BLOX Cards would be streamed, but the day it was supposedly planned to be streamed they had API and site issues, causing them to not play any games for the duration of the entire broadcast.
Design[]
An example of a card from Ultimate Power, card art by BriggeyBruh.
The card designers (Arceusdon, Dun_Goof, and mitpaul to name a few) designed all incoming card requests, mostly from people who have paid for a card commission, as well as revamping old card arts to satisfy consumers.
Aife is an artist who used to design specialty cards, which in turn created the Aife Collection. You can still get these cards from the Art Box using Robux.
Many of the cards represent ideas, users, places, and references of Roblox as well as other trading card games such as Yu-Gi-Oh. All cards (except quest cards and unobtainable cards) are part of a pack with unique lore within the game.
