Adventure Path Set
From MWiki
Adventure Path Set is the term that describes a single unit of Warlord CCG packing produced by Phoenix Interactive. Each Adventure Path Set contains two decks of 55 cards each, or 110 cards total. Buying one of each Adventure Path Set in an expansion or base set nets three copies of each common card, two copies of each uncommon card, one copy of each rare card, and one copy of each fixed card. They typically retail for approximately $32.00.

[edit] Nomenclature
On the October 27, 2008 the following was posted on WarlordCCG.com:
- Nomenclature
- There has been a lot of discussion about the packaging Warlord 4E is being presented in. We decided to clarify the “tags” for it, to facilitate understanding what is the idea behind the new “format”.
- Warlord is being packaged in Adventure Path Sets, each containing two playable and tournament legal decks.
- While boosters are eliminated from distribution, there is still a form of rarity: Each Adventure Path Set contains 20 Rare Cards that only appear in that specific set. Uncommon Cards and Common Cards may appear more often in a set. Distributed over the full set each Rare Card appears once, each Uncommon Card twice and each Common Card three times. Warlords and other Fixed Cards take the slots of Rare Cards.
- Now you ask “What the heck? We already knew that.”
- The distinction becomes necessary because the old nomenclature led people falsely to compare the new packaging with the kind of starter packs known of Warlord (and other CCGs) in the past. The new Adventure Path Sets are not Starters. Each is a complete game by itself, that is customizable through adding additional cards.
- As such an Adventure Path Set is roughly equivalent with an earlier two Starters plus twelve boosters where you were extremely lucky to even draw cards that fit your deck(s). Of course your mileage may vary as you might not be interested in the second deck, which then becomes part of your trade pool.
- For any new player interested in playing a well balance, quick, and fun customizable card game, Warlord offers a good way to play an intricate tactical card game and expend considerable less money than you would need for any other currently still produced “collectible” card game.
- For the collector (also known a suitcase player), Warlord is an affordable option to get into as a secondary game, for example. In previous editions it was nominally impossible to collect a playset of the base edition at below $600 or for an expansion set at below $300, assuming the format continues in the way it has been presented up to this point.
- So the new format elegantly combines all the virtues of Warlord: Swift and fun balanced game play, supported tournaments, and an affordable price tag for “serious” players.
