Griffin Card by uheartbeast 2015-12-16T11:55:00

***SPOILERS!*** I figured out how to go endless with the game. The tree opponent will only have 1 attack until he has been killed four times. At that point he spawns as a 2 attack / 6 health creature. The trick is to simply never kill him a fourth time, as soon as he spawns as a 1 attack / 5 health creature you stop killing him entirely. In order to do this you buff his health with every white card you get. Soon enough he will be a 1 attack / 30 health creature. You get 2 points every time you play a card on him, and even when he is at the maximum life total of 30 he will continue to take cards.

With this strategy you will only ever take 1 damage a turn, so then the goal becomes fishing for golden cards. Golden cards add to your health as well as your attack. Because your opponent will always be at or near 30 health you are never in danger of killing him with golden cards. Each golden card in essence gives you at minimum one more turn in the game. As the game progresses normally the card values naturally go higher. So the 1 attack / 5 health opponent is the optimal choice, you will have the highest value golden cards and the minimum amount of damage intake each turn.

Additionally you want to mulligan every turn in order to fish for golden cards Throw away polarity cards first unless you happen to get two of them for a double swap on the opponent, doing so nets you 2 additional cards, increasing your chance of getting a golden card even more. After the mulligan play white cards on the opponent and golden cards on yourself, clearing out your hand entirely. Doing this gives you the maximum number of redraws and ultimately lets you break the game.

I'm impressed with what you accomplished in the very short time frame Ben! Thanks for providing quality tutorials. I hope you will consider doing some tutorials on Android/IOS extensions for advertising and In-App purchases. There is very limited information or tutorials on the internet or youtube. Either way, thanks Ben!
