Wow! The Aqua look a lot cooler than I expected! A lot of sea monsters on thier cards! All the actual Aqua characters look to have even values like 5/5 or 3/3, while all their "pets" have one value and a zero for their other value, but are all protected... will be an interesting deck!
Can't wait to see more of the new Emmisaries and Inquisitors deck!

A little Google translating will get you far!

Looks like as soon as the English translation is taken care of the new cards will be available for online play. :D

I wonder if Aqua 31 will be banned since it is so similar to Chosen of Nature (i.e., could significantly increase the length of the match)....I'm guessing not since it will only apply to one of the players.

First let me say this caught me on the hop. I had planned to have some basic Aqua (PROTECTED) and E&I 2 questions ready for immediate release with the set, but it came out earlier than I expected (and I'm not the only one) and also there were Real World issues. Now I'm also collecting some immediate German fan questions to put in as well. Next week I hope.

When the banning of C of N was suggested, I hinted elliptically that, in addition to other observations, there was something in the wings to make the decision even more dubious. This is it. And note the Aqua have been balanced with Administer Water of Immortality (there you are, your first official translation, and for those who want to know what we are talking about "Now I may shuffle my discard pile into my draw deck.") and it's a serious part of their capability (it is after all a four moon card). See the quotation from Reiner on this subject in the FAQ.

I'm looking forward to it.

If I recall correctly (I might not), you also helped out with the translations of the cards for the online Blue Moon league site. Are you doing this again? I'm really excited to try out the new cards. With the additions from Aqua and I&G, I think I'd like to try building a heavily FREE deck for kicks...also like to try out the new inquisitors.

Anyone know if there is also going to be an update of the handy Blue Moon spreadsheet?

The CoN was already unbanned for the Cup games and is allowed on the offline league. Also in recent polls a small majority was in favour of unbanning the CoN already even before the new sets appeared. This comes together with the introduction of the Crystal cards and the swap to play for 5 Crystals (but limit to a maximum of 3 games) instead of 2 games which will most likely be the new modus of play.

All of the above is NOT final however.

There most certainly will. I have it all set up and am just waiting for the official English translations. I should then get it posted here shortly thereafter.
