This raid deck is full of fun, however, I never succeeded in beating the boss with three ppl. Any strategies?

Back to the topic, this is ultra fun, and if u got the epic weapon that would be better!

This is a wonderful item for a WoW CCG Collector to own. Whether you are just collecting the game for the artwork, like myself, or if you have a larger group of friends who all play the WoW CCG that want a change of pace from the normal duel style of play. The product includes everything you need to run the raid, except for the hero decks of course, and includes a treasure pack with powerful items in it that can be added to your own collection or given out as rewards to successful players who defeat the raid.

When I first looked at the WoW collectable trading card game, my first thoughts were that it was pretty much WoW themed Magic: the Gathering and it's brief gimmick set Vanguard, if anyone remembers that. While not 100% right, I stand by my 99% correct statement.

These Raid decks however, of which Molten Core is the first and thus far only I have purchased, bring something new to the table, if you'll pardon the pun. In Molten Core, you take the role of a series of bosses that other players, playing standard decks, team up to try and beat, simulating such actions from the MMORPG. Please believe me when I say the following: this idea turns what is basically a themed M:tG clone into a wholely more interesting beast. Also, this is hard. If you want to beat all the bosses in this box, you need to have a refined deck and a lot of friends. We tried facing it with two players and got about halfway through. Tried it again with four and went 1 and 1 against it. It's a blast to play as the deck as well, however there is a lot to remember as the Raid player and there is a risk of forgetting something between phases if you are not paying attention. If M:tG had came of with this idea first, I would still be playing that game and not this one.
