Ps3 Firmware 2.17 Update

Not much to add to what is said but, this should be good for those having random EOJ match disconnects. Here is what Jeff had to say on the Ps3 Blog.

"If you’ve signed in to the PLAYSTATION Network tonight on your PS3, you probably noticed that you were prompted to upgrade the system’s firmware to v2.17. In case you were wondering what it’s all about (and a quick Google search indicates that yes, you are) the operating stability of some online PS3 titles has been improved."

Not a big update but, it is a .07 update not even a full .1 so you can't expect much. And while yes it might not be this awesome update anything that adds stability to Online games is a plus in my book.

EDIT: This meant to say 2.17 not 2.7 sorry for the confusion.

Get your Friends on EOJ

I am not normally a sales driven guy. Granted I do look for good deals but, if I want something I am gonna figure out a way to save up for it or I just don't get it simple as that. However I know most of you have friends who have said to you "I might play EOJ but, I am not spending 70 bucks for a card game" Well now you have a way to convert them over. Amazon is selling the Eye of Judgment bundle for $45. That is right $5 more then the price of the camera they to can get a copy of Eye of Judgment and join the community. Looks like it has free shipping as well. For those too lazy to find it on their own here is the link.

Aluhja Inquisitrix Eye of Judgment Set 2

Here we go again with the next card review. Aluhja Inquisitrix, of all the cards listed so far she maintain that 5 mana summon cost which seems to be fairly common. However she does have 5base hit points which is nice. Her magic attack is 2 which is cool but, for 3 activation that is not so cool. However lets take a look at her abilities which are where her summon cost really comes from. The first ability basically gives you a complete reason to run three cards of a type since once you summon one you can go through your deck and get all the rest of them out of your deck and put them in your hand. To me that partially negates the need to run any card drawing summons or card in your deck since you can potentially be drawing two cards each time you summon a card.

This also ties into her secondary ability which is really nice, all Church of Parmus cards gain 1 dodge attempt. So lets do a Church of Parmus roll call. Partmole Fire Oracle, Aluhja Priestess, Flame Magus, and Koog. Already I see something cool developing here. With the exception of Koog who you technically want to die anyway. The other three offer huge potential. Granted the Priestess already has a dodge but, this card gives her two attempts and still an attempt even if she gets field quaked. Your Flame Magus that you summoned for one mana now has a dodge and your beefy Fire Oracle also has a dodge. So three magic creatures that all dodge like crazy. Not to mention as I said about her first ability you slap down one priestess and you are now holding both of the others in your hand if you run three.

Final judgment, yes she costs a lot but, she certainly gives good return on the investment. Her activation is a little suspect but, her abilities are top shelf. She is good enough in fact to build a deck around her abilities which very few cards are like that.

Goblin Fort

The current card under scrutiny is the New Wood Fortress i.e. Goblin Fort, however it's more of a Green Bandit Fortress. Most Set 2 cards seem to be focusing on Affiliation bonuses & the Goblin Fort is no different. Having the standard summoning cost of most fortresses (4) and an activation cost of (3), however till now there is no way to activate a fortress. It has an impressive amount of HP (6) signifying it's durability on the battlefield. The bonus that this card grants is something to be looked at, switching all Allied Green Bandits Card's Attack & HP. This would mean that Summoned Twin Goblins will have (3) Attack & (1) HP. The (1) HP would also trigger another ability that the Green Fort grants; Dodge Attempt at 1 (HP) For all Green Bandit Creatures. I suppose the Twin Goblins will not be as completely useless as before infact if played with the Green Fort they could be devestating. Also summoned Leapfrog bandits would also have a dodge attempt, since they have (1) HP & (1) Attack anyway. So far there are only 3 Green Bandit Cards, The two mentioned above and Green Erkling Zomba. However in conclusion i would say it looks like an interesting card with serious potential but that can only be confirmed once the Green Bandits in Set 2 are bought to light.

EOJ Central Chatroom

Just a bit of information here we do have an IRC chat server. Now a few of you might be wondering what IRC is and how to use it. Well basically IRC means Internet Relay Chat, and it is just what is sounds like an easy to use chat interface. How do you use it..well that also is fairly simple there are A LOT of programs that can access IRC the most common being Mirc. At that link is also a basic explanation on how to use MIRC. Another option for those who use Firefox is Chatzilla.

The server is GAMESURGE ( irc.gamesurge.net ) which is by default on the list of MIRC servers once you join the channel is #EoJCentral
If you use MIRC or Chatzilla or your IRC client supports web linking you can click this link to go directly to the channel EOJCENTRAL


To register on the server (Not 100% required but, recommended) you have two options described in better details HERE

Oh and one last way to join is a web based java client there is no installation required for this option. JAVA LINK

The purpose of the chat room is to provide an easier way to match up with people and also to provide instant help to those that need it. Also it is to bring the community closer together so come by play some trivia or whatever.

General Lug Eye of Judgment Set 2

Alright folks sorry for the time out. The next card to fall under my own eye of judgment would be General Lug. What to say about this card. Well to start at the beginning he has the same attack pattern we have expected to see from the other warlords. As well as the six(6) summon cost. He does have a healthy attack at three(3) but, an awful activation cost of five(5). Also he carries the same ability as the other warlords and that is for fire creatures he lowers the summoning cost and if you run a fire deck that is good. However his ability...I don't know what to say other then perhaps they are going to add more invisibility creatures because at the moment this card is pretty much only good against a ninja deck or to kill those few other cards that are invisible. To me at the moment this is a waste power and knowing my luck this is what I am gonna find in my first booster pack.

Anyway final judgment a below average card. Only it's fire invocation ability keeps it from being worthless. However if there are more invisibility creatures in set two perhaps it will be more worthwhile.
