So the @ParallelTCG open beta is coming in 2 days. I’m looking forward to seeing some new challengers on the ladder. If you’re curious about this space card game, here’s how I recommend getting started: 1) The game is free to play, don’t worry about the NFTs yet, learn the game first. 2) Play through Rookie Mode and learn the play style of each of the 5 Parallels. You’ll get some digital packs and cards for winning with each Parallel. 3) Jumping from rookie mode to ranked can be a steep curve but don’t despair. 4) I recommend trying for the Battle Pass each month, as it’s the cheapest/fastest way to build your collection. I do the premium version to get the NFT cards, but you can also do the free version if you only want the digital versions (non-NFT cards called apparitions). Complete your daily missions/quests to level up and earn packs, cosmetics, and rewards. 5) Watch content from @0xquinto @Alliestrasza @mookah_f @TILT_penzoken @cellar_gg @awhite @samuelsequinox @OneTurnTILT to learn the game and the meta (which decks are popular). 6) As you learn the game, you’ll start to get a better sense of which factions, deck types, and cards you’ll probably play. If you have extra digital cards, you can “destroy” them for crafting materials to make cards you need for your preferred deck(s). 6) @ParagonsDAO posts the decks from the top players, even if you don’t have all the cards, some decks still work if you substitute some legendaries until you have enough materials to craft them. Aggressive decks like Marcolian Lemieux and Kathari Scipius can work better for new players with limited collections because they don’t rely as much on powerful legendary combos. 7) Hop in the Discord or ping me to join a Parallel Twitter group chat. The community is tightknit and very helpful. 8) Most of all have fun! If you get hooked like many of us did, then you can dive deeper into the ecosystem of Prime (the token for the game universe), NFT cards (which you can use to earn prime), avatars (characters for upcoming AI sims game and a boost to earning prime when playing the matching faction), keys (collectibles that boost your prime earning). That’s all for now, but drop any questions in comments and I’ll answer when I can! The @ParallelTCG team is…well, unparalleled. Going to be fun to watch them keep shipping this year. Hope to see you on the ladder.
