Hello everyone. It’s been forever since I’ve posted about my for fan made card game Animegeddon. To keep a long story, about a year ago I lost my nth laptop ever and had to restart the game from scratch (this however, I’m taking full advantage of cloud storage). I’ve completed a few sets:
Madoka Magica (both the anime series and the third movie, might go back for the first two movies).
Little Witch Academia (both OVAs and will going back when more material is present)
Lagrange: The Flower of Rin-ne (both seasons)
Tenchi Muyo: War on Geminar (currently test playing)
Sansha Sanyou (Did this set over the course of last week to kill time before I could afford to get more ink; will start test playing hopefully soon)
Unfortunately, the unopened cartridge of black ink I found lying about my room expired two years ago and I have to wait patiently until I can afford a new cartridge. In that time I figured I do some write ups of the most anime of this season, starting with Ange Vierge.
Since I greatly doubt anyone else ever attempted to play this game (as it requires you do a lot of foot work to set up), let me explain the game’s rules and goals.
Each player spends a turn playing cards, playing effects of cards and trying to reduce their opponent(s)’s deck to 0. The most basic way to win this game is through damage, but that is also a doubled edge sword for each damage a player takes sends the top card of their to their supplies which they can use to play cards and effects.
Starting a game
For anyone who hasn’t played a card game before, you start by shuffling your deck. Out of fairness, you must allow an opponent a chance to cut your deck (place a number of cards from the top of your deck on the bottom). The opponent, as a sign of faith in that you’re not stacking your deck or otherwise not cheating in any way, may choose to not cut your deck.
Regardless of whether an opponent cuts your deck or not, you draw a hand of five cards. If you don’t like the cards in your hand, you may choose to put any number of those cards on the bottom of your deck and redraw that many cards once.
Then the players decide the turn order. You can do this through rolling dice, playing rock, paper, scissors, flipping a coin, etc. Once turn order started, the player who plays first starts their turn.
Each player’s turn is made of three phases: Opening, Action, Ending.
Opening
At the start of each player’s turn, they draw the top card of their deck and add it to their hand. That player also renews (turn upright) any exhausted (sideways) cards they control unless a card effect says otherwise. Effects that happen at the start of that player’s turn are played.
Action
During a player’s action, they may play perform the following actions:
1.) Add a card from their hand to their resources.
2.) Play a card from their hand.
3.) Attack with a character that’s been in play since the start of their turn or has Reckless.
Adding cards to your supplies
In order to play any cards, you must discard cards in your supplies. While cards are placed in your supplies when you take damage, shrewd opponents may deny you damage for several turns until they are ready to end the game. Because of this, its the responsibility of to build of their supplies. Once each turn, a player may put a card from their hand into their supplies. In the early game, it’s best to toss cards with a high resource cost that won’t see play for several turns or any character or location you have currently in play or more than one in your hand.
Playing a Card
To play a card, you must discard a number of cards in your supplies equal to its resource cost, at least one of those cards sharing an element with the card (when playing a card without an element, the elements of the card spent to play don’t matter). You can find cards resource cost in the upper right corner, beside it’s name.
There are ten elements in this game, each with its own strategy: 闇 Dark, 土 Earth, 火 Fire, 氷 Ice, 光 Light, 金 Metal, 雷 Thunder, 水 Water, 風 Wind, 木 Wood. Each card may have 1 or more elements though some may have no element at all. You can find a card elements below its name ascending left to right in alphabetical order.
Once a card is played, what it does depends on what kind of card it is. There are five types of cards in this game: Characters, Events, Items, Locations, Skills. Each card’s type can be found on the left side of the card, above its effect (as shown below).
Characters, events, items and locations are put in play and remain in play until they are removed from play by a card effect. Skills are put in the cemetery (you discard pile) after their effect has been applied.
Playing Multiple Characters/Locations with the same name
There is a chance that two characters/locations with the same name will be put in play under your control. Unfortunately, you can only control 1 copy of each character without Faceless or location in play at the same time. When you control more than one of either, you must offer (put in your cemetery from in play) one of those cards. However, you can control characters and locations that share a part of their name (being essentially the same character or location) such as the featured “Youko Nishikawa, Former Oujo” (shown above) and “Youko Nishikawa, Swimsuit Fantasy” (shown below).
Attacking with a character
A player attack with any renewed (upright) character provided they controlled it since the start of their turn or its has Reckless. When you attack with a character, you choose which opponent to attack and exhaust (turn sideways) the attacking character. When attacked, a player may choose to either take damage or block with a renewed character they control.
Taking damage
If an attacked player chooses to take damage, they take a number of cards from the top of their deck equal to the attacking character’s weapon and put it in their supplies. A character’s weapon is represented as a number before the “/” in the box on the right side of the card, above their effect (as shown below).
Blocking
When an attacked character choose to block with a character they control, they exhaust that character. Then the attacking and blocking characters deal damage to each other equal to their weapon.
Characters & Damage
Each character can take an amount of damage equal to their armor (shown as the number after “/” symbol in the image above) before being defeated (being put in their owner’s cemetery). Damage dealt to a character equal or greater than their armor is called fatal damage. Also, when a character’s armor is reduced to 0, they are offered.
Ending
At the end of each player’s turn, effects that happen at this time are played and the next player’s turn starts.
Cards Effects:
Each card may have one or more effects (some characters don’t have any). These effects are divided into five categories: Action, Reaction, Passive, Keyword, Skill. Effects can be found close to the bottom of the card, above its subtypes.
Action
Action effects are not always on and don’t automatically turn on when a condition is met. Instead, they need to be manually activated. You can activate an Action effect by paying its cost. An action effect’s cost is separated from its effect by a “:”. To pay a cost you may have to spend 1 or more cards from your supplies (represented by a resource cost symbol such as 
), exhaust the card (represented by a 
symbol) or a number of other things. If a character has an Action effect that requires itself to exhausted to activate, then that effect can only played if you controlled it since the start of your turn or has Reckless.
Reaction
Reaction effects that only activate when you meet a certain condition such as “when you draw a card” or “when this character attacks”. Like Action effects, certain costs may needed to paid to play these effects. Reaction effects with costs will list its cost using the phrase “you may X” where X is the whatever you have to do to activate the effect. Reaction effects usually start with the word “When”.
Passive
Passive effects are effects that are always active and don’t be need to be activated. Some passive effects are only active under circumstances. These effects are denoted by starting with the word “While”.
Skill
Skill effects are the effect of skills and are active as soon as a skill is played. They perform a certain action and deactivate like action and reaction effects.
Keywords:
Keywords are words that represent common place action, reaction and passive effects such as Faceless and Reckless. As you can guess, keywords are always in bold font to make them stand out. Keywords will be accompanied by an explanation of their effect in italics and encased in “()”, but only if there’s room on the card. The primary purpose of keywords is to streamline the process of making cards and not have to retype the same reoccurring effects over and over again without reason. Some effects will affect cards that possess specific keywords and may even or remove keywords from other cards. I will add a glossary of keywords and their descriptions at a later date.
Pseudo-Keywords
Certain cards will have effects that start with a in bold-italics and followed by a “:”. These are reoccurring action, reaction, passive and skill effects that can only activate or are active while a very specific condition is met. For example the pseudo-keyword Tsundere is a reaction effect on certain characters that activates when those characters attack while controlling a character with a specific name or subtype.
Playing Skills & Cards with Spontaneous
Skills and non-skill cards with Spontaneous are the only card type you can play during a phase other than your action phase. These cards can be played at any time, as long as you can pay their cost.
Multiple activated effects/cards being played and the Waiting List
When a combination of cards are played and/or effects are activated at the same time, a method called the Waiting List is used to determine to what happens when. Each card played and effect applied is put on the waiting list in order they were played. If cards/effects from multiple players are being played/activated at the same time, each player who controls said card/effect takes a turn putting either on the list, starting with the player whose turn it is. Once each card/effect currently being played or activated is on the list. The effects/cards that were placed last is applied/put in play first followed by every card after them in the order they were put on the list before until the effect/card put on the list first is applied/put in play. To remember this process, just think “last on the list, first to go”.
Subtypes
Each card may have 1 or more subtypes that places the cards in certain categories (some cards don’t have any). All characters will have 1 more subtype (including gender, race and occupation). Certain effects will affects cards with specific subtypes. A card’s subtypes can be found at the bottom of the card, below its effect.
Card Families
Certain effects will affect cards with 1 or more specific words in their name such as “Swimsuit”, “Bathing” and “Magical Girl” (represented by refereeing to the specific words quotation marks as shown here). These effects are unofficially known as card families. Cards that affects card families are usually a part of specific strategies (such as “Swimsuit” characters having reaction effects that activate when opponent discards cards form their deck or “Bathing” characters who have reaction effects that, when triggered, will cause an opponent(s) to discard cards from their deck).
With all the technical stuff out of the way, let’s dig into the meat of this article (and the whole point I started this post initially): The write up for Ange Vierge.
Warning!
The following cards are a WIP based on the past eight episodes based upon memory. Certain characters will be missing based on the fact I haven’t thought up what to do with them. Cards are subject to change future at a date. (Whether I will post those changes are up to whether I feel like it or not).
The cards will be presented in the following format:
Name
Element 1/Element 2/Resource Cost
Weapon/Armor
