One of the worst laggy games on the site. The other games are slightly laggy but at least theres mostly just a couple of chars instead.

With "Parting gift"(does 1 damage to enemy portal for every unit of yours killed), or Kamikaze(2 damage), the game is very easy to beat without even trying. You only need to keep spawning cheap units and you're done. Just try to get a hold of 2 or 3 cards of this type, since on highest difficulties enemies might overenchant yours. You can use that strategy to get badges easily, or to pass enemies on hardest levels if you're stuck. Good luck and enjoy.

AS said by tenshi samshel and bigbadbarton this game needs a better sorting for the cards frankly i wouldn't play the game but I'm working on getting my badge percentage up

Gold is far too important and the gameplay itself should have a fast forward option for x2/x3 speed. For the decks: This system is a bit of a mess. I do like that we can sort it, I don't like that multiple cards don't stack and that ripping up cards can take them out of decks if you have extras outside of them. Browse and open deck should be under the same tab. You should be able to rip up cards from straight out of it.

I was having a lot of fun. Things were a breeze, I was getting good draws, my warriors were warring mightily and with great vigor... until I ran across Captain "Pulls Beholder Swarms Out Of His Ass" Tribal Elder guy. Then it went downhill from there. I managed to beat him, but... yeah. It's problematic when hordes of beholders come rushing at you and one-shotting even your Barbarians and Iron Golems like they're fresh skeletons. Still, I enjoyed it as I do all Arkandia-based games, so... 5/5 :)

for those who are frustated and wants to get a good deck, without buying any cards (or maybe just want to get the badge): http://www.kongregate.com/forums/3-general-gaming/topics/149879-how-to-win-at-cardian?page=1 . the deck over there is very good. after you get the hard badge, just buy the 20 cards pack and you'll get medium badge easily. if you still hasn't get the easy badge just buy the 8 cards pack.

This game is pretty much ruined by not being able to manage cards effectively. It's not that this is the first card game in the world, why not look at some effective interfaces and follow those? This game really could be cool, I like the idea!

archers are so overpowered, there's little need for any other thing than gold mines... yeah, not a very balanced game

So are you just supposed to fail until you gather enough gold to try to get good cards? All of my summons are killed instantly by the enemy even though they are the same type and I have more of them out at once, so I can never damage their portals.

If you can't get past the deck select screen before level: Refresh, you have too little cards in your deck. Add more and try again.

Holy paladin deck: Apart from lots of gold, some crystals and cheap units I added 2 keycards to my deck: Parting gift. If your troops get killed on the way to the portal they deal one damage each. It cost 25 gold(no problem if you spam) 40 crystals and some 2 souls.Play gold mines first So get 2-3 crystal mine and one unit that quickly kills some enemies, Like scholar. Then play parting gift and send all your peasants. Warning: this game tends to lag a lot. But every level will now be completed in less than 8 minutes.

Easiest way to win: Pick one material, either metal or crystals. Build a deck that only uses that material and gold. Do not fill all card slots to increase chance of getting gold. Surrender battle whenever you do not get 3 or more gold mines right off the bat. Do not spawn any units until you filled all card slots and minion slots. Spam and win.

When I try to play the first practice game, I can't get past the Select a Deck screen. My starter deck shows up, but I can't select it. I'm assuming it's because I built it wrong (# of cards?), but since there's no back button, I have to reload every time and try again. I'm ready to give up before I've even played a game.
