Dollars & Amuse's Shop

Dollars are the currency available at Amuse. There are three different dollars worth a different amount.

With these dollars, you can go to Amuse's shop and purchase any cards that are availabe there. Price depends on the section of the shop the card is in. The follow sections of the shop include (but are not limited to):

New Arrivals Cards in this section are from decks that have currently been released. These cards will be the most expensive.
Regular Section After a while, cards from New Arrival will be moved here. Their prices will be reduced, and are less expensive than the new arrivals. As well, there may be some random cards that the shop decided to stack up on here.
Clearance Items After the cards in the regular section have been in there for a while, they will be moved here. These cards will be on the "need to go list", and will be the least expensive.

Cards in the shop, after selling out and/or reaching clearance, will be taken out of the shop, and it will be decided whether or not these cards should be restocked in the shop. The shopkeeper will keep a list of the cards that have already cycled through the shop.

Pre-ordering cards: The shop will also carry a viewable list of decks that will be soon made available for the public. With this list available, you also have an opportunity to try and pre-order a card from an upcoming deck. Of course, you may have to pay a small extra fee for pre-ordering. You will not be able to pre-order from decks that are donated by other members, only decks that I make without donations.

Packages: The shop will also sell different packages. Each package is worth different amounts of money, and each package also comes with different cards. Below is a chart that shows the different packages that are available at Amuse.

Package Prize Cost
Package 1 1 random card $3
Package 2 5 random cards $10
Package 3 1 choice card & 3 random $30
Package 4 3 choice cards $60

Mastering Decks

To master a deck, you most collect all of the cards that belong to that deck. Decks on Amuse have 15 cards each. Once you collect all of the cards, you can fill out a form to say that you have mastered the deck, and you will be sent a master badge. Master badges on Amuse are designed to look similar to the cards, except wider. The master badge that you receive will also have stars depending on if you're the first, second, or third master. First master will receive three stars, second master will receive two stars, and third master will receive one star. Fourth masters and beyond will not have stars. The first three masterers will also have master badges with a different image to those of the normal master badges.
