Section Rundown

Hub Info: Your looking at it.

Card Database: Member or not, here you can use the advanced search engine to find the subset of cards you want, in the order you want. Play around with this, it is pretty useful once you get the hang of it.

Forums: The communication center of the Hub. Talk about everything form decks and strategies, to trading cards, to Z-man releases, to upcoming Tournies and Cons.

Links: A set of links of the Shadowfist resources avalaible on the web.

My Decks: Once you are a member, you can create, edit, and build decks. The deck builder is especially powerful, allowing you to add cards to your deck from the Card Search via split-screen. Be sure to Analyze your deck, to insure the proper ratio of foundational characters and sites (Fndn C/S). Also, you can display your deck as a text file for easy printing or emailing.

Hub Decks: Search through the viewable and copyable decks made avalaible by other users.

My Trades: Once you are a member, you can maintain a listing of the cards you wish to trade to others. Like the deck builder, you can edit it using an easy split-screen view and powerful search engine.

Hub Trades: Search through the cards that other users have designated that they wish to trade.

My Collection: Once you are a member, you can maintain a listing of your entire Shadowfist collection. Like the deck builder, you can edit it using an easy split-screen view and powerful search engine. Then, when building decks or your trade list, you can limit your search to only cards you own.

Hub Users: Here you can contact other users via email (when they allow it) and view/analyze/copy their decks (when they allow it). Search engine avaliable.

Support the Hub

For 5 years I have ran the Shadowfist Hub free of charge, even though I stopped playing myself 4 years ago. Rather than have ugly banner ads or email spamming, I decided to rely on the goodwill of the users. There are quite a few people that have been using the Hub for the whole 5 years. If you have found the Hub useful, help keep it going. Thanks!
