Choose Your Hero or Villain (We aren’t Judging)
Champions of Meridell sees the introduction of two new card types, Heroes and Villains! They function similar to Faeries and even sit in the same zone. Some of which even have the ability to transform! Let’s take a look at a few of the ones you can find within this amazing set.

Jeran’s Hero card doubles your chances of hitting a critical success! You can worry less about your opponents’ defensive rolls with Jeran on your side. Increasing your Attack and Agility stats has never been better. Lord Darigan’s Villain card takes a very different approach. This card will allow you to exert control over what is available in your opponent’s inventory. This does affect you as well though, however having 0 cards in your inventory while playing a Darigan strategy might just be what you want to do. Here are some more cards that synergize well with both Jeran and Lord Darigan.

Breaking Card Limits
Within the Champions of Meridell starter deck we are introducing a new mechanic that has not been seen before in the Battledome (and one I am very excited about). We will have equipment that can exceed the two-copy limit per deck! These are exclusive to the starter deck and will include additional support for an equipment focused build.

You might be saying to yourself “But Fredo why would I want to have more than 2 copies of each equipment when my stats cap out at 10?”. Well, kind reader within the structure deck you will find the Meridellian Knights are commanded by King Skarl as a Hero card. You will be able to play as many Meridellian equipment as you would like in a turn, as well as equipping beyond the maximum of three equipment. Then once you have your Neopet suited up with at least four different equipment cards your Neopet can exceed its limit of ten Attack, Defense, and Agility.

“The More the Berrier”
Neopets rejoice! There is more food to enjoy within the Battledome. Berries join the Food group, but unlike Hot Dogs, Berries are meant to be enjoyed in multiples! All Berry cards will have the ability to avoid any number of other cards with “berry” in their name from you inventory for a larger effect! Let’s take a look at two that are coming soon.

The best part about berries is that you will be able to void any berry in your hand to gain additional effects. Perhaps you have had a few berries in your hand that you just don’t have a need for, void them with Aquaberry to draw a card for each of those. Perhaps you are looking at finishing a round and just need to turn some fail rolls into successes, use Jumbleberry and the rest of your berries to turn the tide.
