 Hey everyone, welcome back to my channel. We'll have an in-depth review of Onmyoji the card game, but before that, don't forget to hit that subscribe button down below. Hey guys, welcome back for a new game that I'll be featuring in the channel. So what we have here is Onmyoji the card game. This actually brought back memories for me, memories way back when I was younger and I played some of the real card games before like Magic the Gathering. So without further ado, for this game I actually have played, tested this for around a week already. It really piqued my interest number one because of the, what do you call this? The artwork and the cards, the animations as well. The story as well is very good, but we'll start here in the bottom because there are three parts to this game. So you'll have here the first level, which you have your, let's visit first, your shot and guy. Your shot and guy is more or less an area where you generate revenue passively by setting up, eventually you'll be setting up this one, a small kiosk initially, then you'll have to grow it, you'll have to buy items, or you have to invest in the store, like for example, your shelves, the design and it would increase the attraction and attract more customers to your store. So you buy an arranged items here, then arrange them, then there is a particular level that once you, for example, level up your shot and guy, like for example here. So I'm at level two, so you can actually add additional buildings for you to gain more, what do you call this, currency. So right now I have one small building, which is the kiosk and I have one big building here. So also just to share with you guys, there are a couple of, let's say recipes for you that you can follow if you want to build a kiosk, like I did, if you want to build a shukuba, you can actually have all of this made. So let's go back to the kiosk. So for the kiosk that I built, which you saw earlier, I more or less have purchased the shelves that would eventually, what do you call this, sell these items. So these items you can sell in your shop. So again, the shukuba, I'm sure the shot and guy is a place where you can earn currency for the game and actually invest them as well. These currency, this one is for you to build, build your buildings by furniture. So this is for your shot and guy. So this is you earn currency here passively. So let's go back to your shinkiro. So your shot and guy is here. I forgot to mention that in your shot and guy earlier, there were two guys there that you can play against so that you could actually earn rewards as well. So we go back here, we start first with the Jade shop. So for your Jade shop, you can purchase items here. There are two currencies up here. So for your Jade, this is actually for players who spend money to the game and acquire packs, but there's actually a way where you don't have to spend your Jade. So you use your gold, I think this is gold coins. Why can't I click this? So those are gold coins and you can actually purchase items here using, using what do you call this, using gold coins. So there are selected items that you can purchase, but for packs later, I'll show you that you can purchase gold, you can purchase packs through gold and through your Jade currency. And for those who actually would use Jade, there is a top-up reward as well. So again, for those who want to use Jade currency, there is a top-up reward as well. And you also have an alternative art shop, which you can change the art of your cards as well, the back part. Okay, let's move on to, from your Jade shop, we'll go to the Hiyokubun scrollery. So for this one, this is where you get your packs. So again, I'd like to emphasize that you can purchase packs here. This is actually the main recruitment part of the game. You purchase packs because you have to get better cards. So again, this is actually a free-to-play game in which you can get your packs from gold. So this is very good for those who don't want to spend for the game, just have to grind out the game and gain gold coins so that you can purchase. So save your gold. Try to also make sure that you buy the correct, what do you call this? The correct series in terms of packs, depending on what you call this, what heroes or characters you have already in this game. Okay. So here I have actually a pack. So we'll try to draw one so that you could have a feel of what to expect when you buy packs. So even when opening packs that you got for free, you still open it here. So click on circle, then you wait, then appears all the packs. So if there's a SR, usually they won't turn back immediately. So for SR and SSR, you have to click on them for them to face forward. So accept. So that is it when getting packs from the scrollery. Okay. Yukobun scrollery. It's too hard to pronounce, sorry. Also in the grocery. The grocery is actually a place where you buy items for your quest. So this is where you buy, this is where your story items here for your quest. Then you have here your consumables, you have your ink jade. Ink jade is actually being used in coloring the cards. So there's a alternate color. When you use ink jade, I'll show you that later. So talisman, I'll also, the talisman is actually, what do you call this? It's actually good and buying copies of your cards. So I'll show you that later as well. So I'll try to buy one. So we're done with the first level. So, but before we go, I'd like to explore the icons that are on the top and on the side here. So we go first here. So this one is more on the events that we'll be showing or we'll be having. This is actually a preview of the incoming event to the game. Then you have here, you also get your gifts here, your signing rewards for seven days. Then they have additional up days as well here, alternate art and the seal deck. So gifts events are here. So don't forget to check this out and also don't forget to claim your items here. Okay, so the next would be your tour past season. So they have a tour past season for free to play and also for those who pay for the game. Rewards are actually decent enough and the ones that you would value here if you're going to buy the tour past season is the gold especially. And your, this one, the item voucher used to redeem ink jade in the grocery. Okay, but I would value the gold here more because this is where you can buy individual cards from the packs. Okay, so let's go next. So here for your mail for freebies for maintenance updates, then you have here to add friends. There's, I haven't seen any benefit yet to adding friends. So I'll feature that in a future video. Then the last one, the last two would be your settings, system settings and you have here, this is important guys. The icon or your account level or status includes a lot of things. Your profile in which you can actually look at Shikigami. These are your heroes for your decks. So I'll discuss more on that later. And also here, you will have your alternate art gallery. But aside from this one, so they have really good art that they feature as alternate art for some of their cards. This is actually the front of the card. So not the back of the card. So these are alternate art of existing cards. You have actually to check this one, the collection. This one is the back of the card, this art. So card, souvenir card back, season, event exclusive. So these are options where you can change the back of your cards. This one is your avatar. So currently I'm using this girl's avatar. Don't wanna purchase this because this doesn't make sense if I purchase it. Then here is your event broadcast or your animation. So when you level up, rebirth, the seal. So there are different types of animations that you can actually buy and what do you call this? And change, including the background, so there's a lot of things that you can customize with the game. And here, always check this one for your items because sometimes you have things that you can consume here especially this one, the beginner pack. So see, I have a beginner pack that I forgot. Okay, so I forgot to claim level 19. So always check on the consumables and also your items here as well. So achievements are also here. So there are actually rewards and the game will actually prompt you if you have rewards for the game. So let's go to the second level. The second level is all about gameplay, PVP, deck battles. I'll move first to the first level because there are only two parts in the first level. You have here your store emissions. Your store emissions actually are actually good because of the rewards. And also, once you reach this one, I think two, three and four, you'll have to purchase items for the story. Again, if you can remember, I told you that some items are available in the grocery. So some of the levels here would require you to purchase some items for you to start playing the story emissions. So that's it for the story emissions. Very good story actually, very good content. And the Kaidan is actually a game mode that the further you actually go and play matches, the bigger the rewards that you'll be getting, but you'll have to spend currency for this one. So it's a myth scroll if you don't want to spend or it's 10,000 gold. So that is why I haven't played this much because I'm trying to save up my gold for cards as well. But I'll actually go into an in-depth guide for each game mode after I put out this video. So let's go to the middle part where in most of the action takes place. So you have here your, let's go first to the games that you can actually play. So here for your play matches or your player match, this is actually an area wherein you can test out your decks without harming your rankings or your rank matches, but you still earn rewards here. That is the good thing. Just play this, you think over your deck, then you try to rank as high as possible in your rank matches. So right now for the rank match, I'm at tier four, rank four. So I've been climbing up the ranking so far, but it usually depend on how close your deck is in terms of matching with other players because some of the players are pretty much advanced in terms of deck composition and the cards available to them. So try to tinker with a couple of decks, mix and match in order to rank as high as possible here in your rank matches or, yeah, so rank match. So you also have your Jakubunches. Jakubunches is actually a game mode as well that is kind of unique. I'll go more in-depth guide on Jakubunches, but it's a bit, what do you call this? It's a bit complex. I can't stay long in this video because this will take long definitely. So I'll have a separate video for Jakubunches. Then the other PVP mode is actually one of my favorites, the sealed deck. So from time to time I try to play here, especially if I have currency and now it's free. So a sealed deck is actually a combination as well of decks that you pulled or the cards that you pulled or the Shikigami that you pulled and try to mix and match them and try to combine them as much as possible to win two in matches. So again, I'll have an in-depth guide for sealed deck as well. So those are mostly your PVP matches and mostly your matches that you're going to play. So on your left side, you have your decks. Okay, so this is where, what do you call this? This is where deck construction comes into play. So if you'll see here, I'll use this deck. I've been tinkering trying to feature in this game. This is a more simpler deck than what I have for the first one. So let's say for example, this is your deck, you pull this, then you actually might want to get more cards or copies. So if you don't have to really pull packs, so you just have to click on the card, then you can craft what do you call this? You can craft cards even if you haven't pulled them from what do you call this? From the packs. So you will only need talisman for this one. So talismans are very valuable. You can actually get talisman from the game, but your main source would also be is to disenchant some cards that you have, so extra cards that you have. So if you can see here, you have your ink jade. The purpose of your ink jade is actually to ink splash. So I'll show you a ink splashed card. So this is a sample of Hocus ink ink splashed card. So it has more of a black border, a darker mode, so to say. So let's say for example, if I want to have, if I want to have what do you call talismans, you have to batch disenchant. The batch disenchant is any type of card that exceeds two copies. Let's say if you have three copies, the third one would be disenchanted for your talisman, so that you could gain currency for the game. You will only need at most two copies of each card, so that's very good. So I'll have to disenchamp, then I'll gain talisman so that I can probably use it in the future to acquire cards. So that's actually a good mechanic for deck building. At first I was actually very, I didn't know the disenchant system. I thought it would be harder to acquire cards for your decks, but apparently it's not. So you have two options. You buy packs through gold and you disenchant extra cards so that you can buy them piece by piece. So again, you have here ink to have colored craft to buy one card and disenchant if you have extra. Okay, so you have a maximum of four chicagami that you can use for your decks. So you can actually buy set decks already in the Jade Shop. So there are certain set decks there if you want to spend on the game, you can buy set decks there, but actually I'll be featuring some decks that I have made and have been successful in this game for you to try out in future videos. Okay, so this is deck construction. So you go back here. So again, there is actually four chicagami, then per chicagami, you have a maximum of eight cards to use. So one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and two copies per card. So that is how you build your team. So this is actually an aggro team. The other deck that I have, the first one is F-Control which is Field Control. Actually, this is one of the decks that I'm so happy with. So, what they call this, this is Field Control and this is also Control of chicagamis of your opponents and dealing, it's actually controlling gameplay. So card draw, you have here direct damage. You have here, what else? Elimination of chicagami. So board control is the theme of this deck. So move on to the other one. So we'll also feature here your chicagami. So if you want to see what each chicagami can do and how many cards do you have. So for example, for Akuro, you have here the cards that chic can use and these cards you don't have yet. So you can actually check out how you're going to play this hero because of these cards. So there are a lot of chicagami that you can choose from. So again, my mascot is Adon. Adon, I'm not sure how to pronounce her name, but she's very good. She gives you card advantage and also orb advantage. Or I will discuss it later in a sample play or sample game, but before that, our last part that I'll be discussing is the missions. So for your missions, you have here your quests for today, special quests and also your beginner trial. Okay, take note, please try to finish your beginner trial because the game is actually kind of complex in terms of abilities. You have your basics, combat, defeats, shields, tutorial. Actually, basically the guide is your tutorial. So please finish all of them because as a beginner, you won't know everything, but as you play along, you can actually know what the skills are and how to use them. So fragile form, evolve, piercing, projectiles, so everything is here. So please, and also for each tutorial, you get rewards the first time you try to take a look and there are matches, short matches for each tutorial and how to use the card. So try to please finish the guide before you play the game. So again, these are your missions. The missions actually earn you currency as I've told you and earn you items as well. So we'll go into a short match. Hopefully it's a short match. So going to have a player match just to give you a feel of the game. So let's go with this fast deck that I have. So normally pairing for the matches would take, the longest that I've waited was around a minute to look for a same level opponent. So the system actually matches you towards a similar level deck. So here we go. So we are actually on the bottom part. The opponent is on the top part. So first things first, who goes first? So we go second. Normally for fast decks, you would go first, but for controlled decks, you would go second. So at first you're given a chance to check out your hand and you could actually replace three cards on your hand. So we'll replace this one. We're here to have as much damage and as quick as possible. So the gameplay is starting with your opponent's turn. So the turn you have actually two orbs. So two orbs equals an action. Sorry, sorry, one orb equals an action. So two orbs equals two actions. So those are what you can actually do only in your turn. So all our Shikigami are required to be level up each time or each turn that you have. So you already have one to start. Then you, for example, choose another one to level up. Then once it's your turn, actually, you can choose some of the cards that you have that can cast, that the Shikigami can cast. So you only have two that can cast cards. So you only select from these two. So I'll use this one so that he can cast this. Give plus one plus one. And for you to attack, you also need to spend an orb. So the next turn is to do an attack. So there you go, down 26, then your end return. So it's actually pretty simple but the battle sequences are sometimes very difficult. You can actually attack twice but you have to have a combat card after your regular attack. So there are spell cards, there are field cards, there are form cards. So next to level up, each Shikigami is actually, actually has a max of three levels. So here I don't have a purple yin or yang. I'm not sure what is it called. So I'm going with red so that I could cast her skills. You can actually use the others for this one. So I'm going to have a spell. So I can use it, you can only use one. So for example, double strike, so damage two damage. Okay, so that is basically the simplest way on how to play the game. If you don't have any other moves, you actually would have to either, I have one more or I have actually two orbs because if you've seen that card, it's a fast card which doesn't use any orbs. You can actually use one fast card per turn. So if you have nothing to do and if you don't want to attack, you can actually end but if you want to attack, you can still attack deal damage, then once the Shikungami dies, he resurrects after three turns. But if you want to finish this off, again, I attacked once but you can attack again. Oh, sorry, I ran out of time because I was so busy doing commentary. So let's wait for our turn again. Anyway, the gameplay is actually very, very interesting. Very unique concept wherein you only have Shikungami to attack to cast spells and it's usually a one-on-one battle at the center. So that is a new gameplay for me as well. You can actually cast here two spells which are two, two symbols already so you can cast this one as a spell. Then you can cast another spell using one orb to kill this one, to kill this Shikungami, there you go. So far, I cannot really concentrate on this game. So this actually is very interesting. You can actually defeat your enemies by either turning his 30 max life into zero or if the opponent's decks, the number of cards in his deck reaches zero and he cannot draw a, what do you call this, a single card. So there are actually decks that force your opponents to take cards from his library. So you also have to explore that. So again, this is a fast card, gains three attack. So I'll play it. As you can see, I haven't spent any orb then. So I'll cast this one then I'll also attack. So very simple game. I'll feature actually a lot of decks that you can use down the line. I have two decks already that you can use and I'll try to feature them. I'll have an in-depth guide on the other game plays, a solo video on that. But I think this game is worth your time. This actually has piqued my interest and has revived my love for card games. So this TCG is actually a must play. I would really encourage you to try out this game. For those who are deck builders there, who used to play Magic the Gathering and interested to explore this type of game, please do, please hit me up in the comments below whether you'd like to play this game or not, or you would rather try it first then see what happens, but I'll continue to feature this game because I love this game aside from XO heroes. So again, comment below what you think about this game and if you need help in your deconstruction, please comment down below. So this is the Warden. I hope you play this game, stay safe and I'm out.
