R/R is banned now though, so hopefully that will open up the deck designs. Especially with the new Rulers, new set cluster, and new keywords. I'm curious to see how things look, but my very new LGS Force of Will scene is pretty diverse so far.
This game has completely died in my area, as far as I know. I got into it for a while because I wanted another night to play cards and didn't want to spend the money on a standard deck. This was cheaper and seemed similar so I built a Dark Alice midrange kinda deck (this was a while ago) and went to a few local tournaments (one of my LGS really pushed this game hard) even top 4'd one. However, I never went back to play again after top 4ing the Local tournament. The entire time I was playing, I felt like I was getting a 2nd rate magic experience. I HATED how all the cards felt really overpowered and undercosted which made games DRAAAAAAAAAAG on. There was no happy medium. games were either over in a few turns or dragged out for 45 minutes. It made me appreciate the card design of MTG much more and the half naked 12 year old anime girls on the cards always made me kind of uncomfortable and also ruled out getting any of my female friends into the game. (one was interested, she likes anime, till she saw the Cheshire cat card) The promos and foils were cool (ive always maintained that one of the few things other TCGs do better than MTG is promos, full art cards and foils look at pokemon) But it felt like a pervy knock off mtg game.

You are overly sensationalizing the game. Half naked chicks? There are plenty of girls in this game but most of them aren't half naked. Maybe their proportions are messed up and they look overly attractive at first glance sure. And Chesire Cat only has a super rare promo with no pants on. So the only version you showed your friend is the super rare chase promo? Sure. If you are so sensitive that FoW makes you feel this way - I don't know what to say. There are plenty of inappropriate things in life, if you can't handle FoW then I don't know how to proceed.
The anime part is very small reason why i don't like the game. I don't like anime. I think the game is a 2nd rate magic experience, I rather just play magic. I'm not the only person who thinks that some of the cards in FoW are kind of questionable. I'm not sure why you are getting so defensive about it.
Also every version of the Cheshire cat has her bent over, I showed my friend the regular one that my LGS had. SHE didn't like it and decided not to get into the game, had nothing to do with me being sensitive.

I'm not being defensive? I didn't say the cards weren't questionable? I said there weren't many half naked chicks in the game and you can't really argue that point. I edited this post and I'm not gonna take it against you but I do feel you are overly sensitive to this. You can not like the game and you can think it's overly sexual but I disagree on the latter. Sure there are questionable cards but it's really nowhere near the bad I've seen in the tcg world.
Anyone still playing FoW? I went to my local shop last week and had a few rounds with my upgraded elves deck. Won a few, lost a few, and had lots of fun!
Really? That's sad to hear. It's been slowly gaining in popularity in my area. We had a "learn FoW" night at the local shop a couple of months back where we were all given the multi-language training decks (see pic). Lots of people showed up and either brought or bought starter decks and played a few rounds with winners getting to pull from a stack of foils, rares, supers, etc. I didn't pull much of note, but my friend pulled a Cheshire Cat so that was cool. We've had a couple of other small FoW game nights since then, but not really full on tournaments yet. The shop owner is planning one for January. Our local deck meta is pretty strong from what I've seen, with lots of people bringing in tier decks. My elf deck isn't fully optimized, but it's close and it's strong, fast, and fun. I probably need to drop Gwibers in from one of my other decks and modify my stone deck, but it's getting there. Anyway, sad to hear your situation, but I guess it's not surprising. FoW definitely lags far behind all formats of Magic at my shop, but I'm glad it's starting to find an audience here. Hopefully that will only continue!
Its been picking up steam again and I've started building another deck now with Lapis cluster. It seems the distributors must have pushed back against the company because the print runs seem smaller now, but I'm hoping they do more runs to help keep the prices in check. Heck, it's actually hard to find regalia right now for my RG pricia aggro.

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
That's good to hear! I've actually been playing fairly regularly. I have a standing appointment with my LGS owner and a couple of others to play on Monday nights. Since Vingolf 3 and CFC came out, I've been trying to build a few new decks. I've been running a W/B Zero deck, R/W Lumia, and an upgraded version of my G/W Fiethsing deck that was originally built from the Swarming Elves starter, but has morphed into something more competitive in my meta. Unfortunately, this past Monday I played against 2 guys, 3 different decks from them, and went 0-6...didn't win a game. They were all pretty close, but I just couldn't finish. A bit frustrating, but I'll try again next week.

My time table always makes my game times questionable these days, but I try to make one day a month a card game night, whether it's MtG or Force of Will (right now the later). The big issue I've ran into coming back is Vingolf 3 was severely under printed. I've got two boxes on order from a store and the distributors are completely out, so the order is delayed almost indefinitely. The company just got around to printing more Legacy Lost because of the popularity being higher than expected, which is why Lumia is so pricy despite Pricia being the most rampant ruler strategy on the competitive block.
I'm hoping they will get around to another print run of vingolf 3 by May. I'm just not sure if the Force of Will Company is able to react fast enough to get a run out in time.

Could've been a great MtG knock-off.
I complain about Magic R&D all the time but at least this never happened to Magic.
I don't even know which sets are standard legal.
