Hi everyone. This is a remake of my favourite map from Warcraft 3 called Card Shuffle originally made by Zync. I've brought it over to Starcraft 2 with lots of cool new features and improvements!
Players have a deck of cards and are dealt a hand, gradually gaining more cards overtime. They can use their cards to summon units to the field and cast spells. It works quite similar to The Card Game, but I aimed to go more in the direction of less units and greater control, interactions and combo's much like an actual TCG such as Magic the Gathering.
How to play?
It's very easy to pickup and learn. The game is made for 2 teams facing off against each other up to 6v6. It's a best of 5 series, where the first team to win 3 rounds claims victory over all. At the start of each round, players get to choose a Hero (Deck Master) and a selection of cards (Deck) to face off against each other.
Currently it's up on the EU realm, just search for "card shuffle" and you can join it, invite a few friends and give it a try :p
Current Decks
Currently there are 5 Heroes and 5 unique decks to choose from. There's also a few combination decks taking cards from multiple decks. I'm working everyday on adding more content!
Thanks for TheAlMaity/Watcher for making the preview video above, that's him speaking by the way! It was taken from the EU map night, something I strongly recommend you get involved in, there are some great over upcoming maps to play as well.
Help me out
I could really use feedback and especially suggestions. It's always amazing what ideas people can come up with. There's lots of room for extra card additions to the existing decks as well as completely new ones being thought up.
Thanks for reading, hope you get a chance to play it and to hear about it
Short warning: Screwed up my sound settings, vid is VERY quiet!
Thx for watching if you do :) Sub if possible, im gonna try and make VoDs of more custom maps
Also, try out card shuffle. I prefer it over all other card maps, reasons are in the vid.
My top 5 maps:
Catalyst Cityscape
Card Shuffle
Gates of Darkness
Pictionary
Snipers Promod
Stuff's gotta be good if the only thing better than it is Catalyst ;) And if i like it more than my own map!
Great map! Love it.
I noticed a bug though, where you always get the icons of your first deckmaster displayed, even if you choose other deckmasters in later rounds. :)
Keep up the good work!
Edit:
We just played it 2v2 and the bug didnt occur, in 1v1 it did though.

Thanks for that. I did manage to fix that bug and upload a new version, but probably wasn't in time for your game.
2v2 is fun, should give it a try 4v4+ if you ever get a chance. That's where it really gets crazy :)
I'm now working on 2 new decks, upgrade options for Heroes when they level and expanding all the existing decks as well.
Expect another new version by the weekend as per usual.
Really cool you update this so frequently. Unfortunately it's difficult to get the game filled, it's not so popular yet. But if you keep working on it, I'm sure it will. ;)
btw, this also proves Blizzard doesnt actually play the maps they feature... It's 6v6, the variant simply hadn't been renamed since Fulla added more players, which was ages ago.

Gratz :)
Lol, well I just hope they feature it on the EU realm as well.
Loadscreen:
- New Loadscreen!! Thanks to Giz for this
Skill Points:
- Each time you level up you now gain a skill point.
- You can spend 1 to increase your health or mana regeneration.
- You can spend 2 to level up one of your abilities
- (I'll add a Hero ultimate in next version requiring 4 skill points to unlock).
Hotkeys:
- All Hero abilities now have hotkeys - Q / W / E.
- If all goes well I'll add them to the cards as well.
Tooltips:
- Fixed all the Hero tooltips and descriptions, mainly on the Hero Selection screen.
New Cards:
- Each deck has gained 1 new rare card!!
Balance:
- Lots of balance improvements.
- Particularly the Swarm deck, lowered many mana costs.
- Guardian got nerfed (Justice deck).
- Mana Flux, nerfed to rare and increased cost.
btw add something where you could decide rounds. 1 Round went for loike 15-30mins and that is enough for me, so would be nice that you didnt always have 3 rounds. not sure what caused the bug tough.
What is this?

this map is really fun and its getting better in every update :P so keep going :)
no US publishing? :(
I'll be getting it on the NA realm shortly, hopefully by this weekend. Maybe if I'm lucky it could be used in the NA map night :)
I've updated the main thread, now with the Deck lists, should anyone wanna have a peek.
I'm also looking for comical/witty captions/quotes to add at the bottom of each cards. Feel free to help out.
Mind Rot: And they say video games rot your brain...
Dude in the video sounds like a robot.... or very very gay....
New version uploaded on the EU, I've sent a friend the map to publish on US as well.
If you're joining the map night tonight, can give it a try with a big crowd.
Now you can combine Mind Rot with other decks to form an even deadlier brain destroyer.
Hahaha, I shall tell Maity that :)
Clord is the one that sounds like a robot, I sound like daffy duck *evil stare* lol

Thanks man :)
I just noticed it got 'featured' on the US. But they've stated the author as my US friend LOL!!!!
Oh well I don't mind, just glad it got featured.
@Fullachain: Go
haha :D. I was wondering about that on the mapster page :D
Gratz man. Its nice that they actually pick some less known maps to be featured.
btw, this also proves Blizzard doesnt actually play the maps they feature... It's 6v6, the variant simply hadn't been renamed since Fulla added more players, which was ages ago.

Lol, well I just hope they feature it on the EU realm as well.
Big update:
Check out the site, give your suggestions! www.GamingCraft.net
We crashed this time!
btw add something where you could decide rounds. 1 Round went for loike 15-30mins and that is enough for me, so would be nice that you didnt always have 3 rounds. not sure what caused the bug tough.
@zenx1: Go
Is this game still being developed? My friends and I play every weekend but the information panel at the top is blank so it's hard to play now!
Thanks for remaking Card Shuffle it is my favorite map!!
