Guide to Overlord Cards

By Indalecio, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Hi guys,

I´m finally done writing my guide to OL cards, which you can find at the following link:

Guide to Overlord Cards

Hope you find it useful. Don't hesitate to comment on the list directly, so we can centralize eventual discussions at one place.

This should be in the useful links mada by any2cards.

I added this to the Index of Useful Links. Thank you for putting this together. I am looking forward to reading it.

Great job!

Really great job, the guild to overlord cards is really useful tool for any Overlord player.

Sorry for the necro, but I'm going through all the topics I've missed during my inactivity.

Great guide obviously! However, I'm kind of 'confused' with your write up of Unkindness:

Going by your guide I would obviously purchase Ill-Omen , however, since (if I remember correctly) Call of the Ravens does not count towards the two 1xp cards you need for a tier 2 card, I don't see what other card you would recommend getting.

Beneath the shadow : Investment not worth it
Beware : Inferior to other cards in the class , Absolutely non essential purchase
Feast : This card competes with other better ones in the class

What better ones are you referring to then for Feast ? (If you keep in mind that buying Call of the Ravens and Ill-Omen aren't enough for tier 2)
Out of those 3, which one would you recommend to acces the next tier?

I was also wondering about this some time ago but somehow never posted that question.

As all three remaining options are not great. Personally, with Scourge in play, I would most likely go with Beware and hope to move the Scourge adjacent to even more heroes to better benefit from its aura effect. Still, it's kind of weak compared to other 1 XP choices and I am in doubt if it is worth it to get access to Sudden Flurry and Imitation.

I can't speak for Indalecio of course, but personally I think if you're going down the servant route, you shouldn't go any farther than Call of the Ravens in the Unkindness deck. The cards are pretty unimpressive, with maybe the exception of Sudden Flurry.

The Soulbinder deck has far, far better cards. Dark Silhouette, Possessive and Unblinking are excellent, and the deck caps off with the absolutely devastating "Danse Macabre". Plus, all the cards that work on Servants also work on the Ravens, so in a way you are also leveling up them as well.

Yeah, I know, I was just wondering about a hypothetical situation where I did not own all the content in Descent and was looking at this one separately :P
