Magic Card Era: My Deck is Depressing

"I'm currently filled with negative energy, can I participate in the lottery?"

The system completely ignored Su Bai and instead displayed an interface.

Su Bai glanced at it and saw that the current negative energy was zero, and all the functions inside were locked.

"Where's the new player gift pack?"

[Destroyed]

Su Bai: ? ? ?

"your sister!"

"Fine, I won't argue with a dog, you're so tough!"

Su Bai sighed. Now all he could think about was how to collect negative energy.

This thing looks simple, but with its small frame, it's not durable at all.

Run away? Do you really think card masters are just sitting around doing nothing?

With a sigh, Su Bai looked at the magic cards in the auction house.

"Hey, this way it definitely works! I'm a fucking genius!"

Chapter 2 Magic Card Glory

Magic cards can only be created at the Magic Card Workbench.

At this moment, Su Bai was standing in front of the Magic Card Glory workbench, and he only had enough money to make one magic card.

The booth has a very high-tech feel, with a transparent base that makes it look like it's floating in the air, and mysterious symbols are engraved on the surface.

Inside the workspace, all the walls were covered with some kind of mysterious runes, which occasionally flashed with white light.

Su Bai was stunned for a moment before he began to prepare to make the magic card.

A bronze deck needs three cards, but it doesn't mean you have to have all three. You can participate with just one card, but you'll most likely lose.

The people in this world have certain limitations in creating magic cards.

This conclusion was drawn by Su Bai after observing some of the magic cards in the auction house. In his previous life, he often played card games.

Su Bai still vividly remembers those infuriating tactics.

"Come on, let me show you what a magic card really is."

Su Bai took out all the materials he had prepared, which would be placed in the workbench later.

The creation of magic cards requires sufficient mental energy; if mental energy is insufficient, they cannot be created at all.

He plans to create a rather unique monster-type magic card.

The monster is a demon, and this is also to fulfill the original owner's long-cherished wish.

Demons often gain immense power by sacrificing something, making them very powerful magic cards. However, their weaknesses are also obvious; what they sacrifice is the deck's weakness, making it very easy to counter.

However, you can't just target demon decks to climb the ranks, since every deck has weaknesses, and you also need to consider the overall deck composition.

There were still some demon materials left in the warehouse. Su Bai glanced at them and then determined the image he wanted to create.

To ensure the desired effect, Su Bai spent another 70,000 to buy a material at the auction house.

"Put in the ingredients!"

As Su Bai silently recited the instructions, all the necessary materials flew out of the warehouse.

It floated above the workbench, enveloped in a mysterious glow.

The workbench was engraved with several six-pointed stars, and there were some mysterious characters around it, which Su Bai did not recognize at all.

However, I was still shocked by what I saw. These materials were clearly not something that could appear in the human world.

A fragment wrapped in tattered clothing, the remains of something vaguely discernible. It appears to be small, and its entire body is pale green, so it is definitely not an animal.

Rank: Bronze!

A somewhat rusty axe, mottled and patchy as if coated with some kind of paint, occasionally flashes with a blood-red light, exuding an ominous aura.

Rank: Bronze!

The skeleton, of unknown origin, was entirely black.

Rank: Bronze!

A tube of green blood churned incessantly inside the test tube, as if burning with green flames.

Rank: Bronze!

A heart the size of an infant's fist, emerald green in color, still beating occasionally, with clearly visible black veins on it.

Rank: Silver!

After these materials floated on the workbench, they were instantly enveloped in a beam of light and entered some kind of mysterious space.

The materials that were clearly visible just moments ago are now blurred and indistinct, as if viewed through frosted glass.

A message appeared on the workbench panel.

[Broken Little Demon Body] + [Bloodstained Axe] + [Black Bones] + [Demon Blood] + [Little Dragon Heart] = ? ?

Then, black mist rose from the workbench.

Demonic energy surged and filled the mysterious space.

Su Bai understood that this was creation, and what he needed to do at this time was to give this magic card some background information and let the magic card have the abilities he wanted it to have.

Whether it will succeed or not depends on fate; this is the most difficult step.

In pursuit of maximizing profits, many people tend to fill in exaggerated backgrounds, which often leads to failure.

However, demons are a rather unique type; they can gain incredible power by making sacrifices.

So there's still a chance of winning this, it's like gambling, the creators of demon decks are all gamblers.

There's nothing they wouldn't dare to think, and nothing they wouldn't dare to boast about.

So Su Bai concentrated his energy and imagined the scene in his mind. This was the most mentally taxing step.

Once the background is complete, all that's left is to wait. If you can't even finish the background, there's no point in talking about the subsequent steps.

Su Bai focused his mind and tried his best to bring the background he had drawn in his mind to life.

Soon a scene appeared in the black mist, constantly evolving within it.

[Evil Landlord: The ruler of a demon's territory, possessing formidable combat power. Often, one evil landlord is sufficient for a territory. They are bloodthirsty and ferocious, sacrificing most of their attack power in exchange for the ability to create a new evil landlord whenever they are injured, as long as the injury is not fatal. This is used to control those disobedient slaves.]

The background was completed, and the originally pitch-black fog became even thicker.

The background information is also about the abilities of the magic cards. Most of his materials are bronze-level, except for the Little Demon Dragon Heart, which he bought for 70,000 and is silver-level.

Therefore, the magic cards produced will most likely be bronze or silver level.

Magic cards can be upgraded. As long as more advanced materials are added later, the current cards can be upgraded again.

However, since these are bronze or silver level magic cards, Su Bai didn't set any special abilities for them; the ability to copy itself is already quite overpowered.

Although it sacrifices attack power, the swarm tactic should be overwhelmingly powerful in low-level magic cards.

This still requires experiments, and Su Bai wasn't really sure about it.

In this world, people either sacrifice health to gain strength and become warriors, or sacrifice attack power to gain health and become meat shields.

The thinking is very rigid, a product of templates.

Although it looks impressive overall, Su Bai felt that these things lacked soul.

However, some individuals have created some rather useless things that seem to have no effect, but in Su Bai's opinion, these things can still be very useful if they are used in combination.

Within the magic card's creative space, the mangled body, bones, blood, and heart began to regenerate. As the black demonic energy spread, a demonic warrior over two meters tall slowly materialized.

His body was dark green, shimmering with a metallic luster, and exuded a chilling aura, with wisps of demonic energy constantly emanating from him.

He gently reached out and grasped the blood-stained axe in his hand, then waved it a few times in the air.

"Jie Jie~"

A terrifying laugh emanated from the room, and a crimson light shone from the blood-red eyes.

As the black mist gradually dissipated, a black magic card lay quietly on the workbench.

The image on the magic card depicts the moment when the evil landlord was laughing wildly, arms outstretched and laughing to the sky.

The blood-stained axe emitted a black aura that perfectly aligned with the red light in the evil landlord's eyes.

"It worked! Good luck!"

Upon seeing the magic card, Su Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the creation of this magic card had failed, he would have had to give up.

If you don't have the money to be a magic card master, you might as well go work in a factory and screw in screws.

Chapter 3 First Battle

The white moon in the upper right corner of the card indicates that this card is of the Silver rank.

The upper right corner of the bronze card features a bronze key, simple and elegant in style.

The silver-level magic card is a crescent moon, radiating silver moonlight.

The gold-level one is a star that shines with golden light, luxurious yet somewhat gaudy.

Generally, only those who have studied at Magic Card University are capable of creating Gold-level Magic Cards; the success rate for ordinary people is very low.

One reason is the shortage of materials. Most gold-grade materials have become monopolized, although they can still be purchased on the market.

However, even with all the materials, the background depicted on the magic card, the support of magic power, and the release of spiritual power are all indispensable.

It's difficult to reach that level without systematic teaching, which is why everyone considers the college entrance examination to be the most important event in their lives.

If you fail, there will be no chance to retake the exam. After all, resources are limited, and the strong get priority.

The thought of his own destitute home made Su Bai want to curse.

As a time traveler, he's probably the worst off, so it seems he really needs to prove himself.
