We have spoken about Warlords Character on the site but you can find here some explanations about the Overlord Character and some other higher Level character. The Overlord characters takes part in the challenge system of the game and are, in fact, a higher level challenge battle for the players. So the Overlord are stronger than a Warlord character. We are talking here about a challenge type Level 1, A Warlord against Overlord. So there's differents Level to pass to reach the ultimate game Level (aso named Tiers). Step by step, here is the differents Levels , challenges in the Warlord CCG game (updated with Phoenix Interactive so I'll not speak about the AEG challenge system, for this latest one you'll find some more informations in the WikiWarlord site.
Level 1 : As seen above, to play the first Level challenge, you must win the tournament to have a free challenge or you must own one 1 Unsigned Pre-4th ed Overlord to make this challenge.
Whats the Challenge so ?
With the 4th Edition format, (note that there's of course several various overlord) you must win this Overlord challenge against as for example : the '' Into the Forgotten City of Thas-Lirith '' deck. The Overlord against you'll play in this case is "Loki". What's the result of the game if you win ?
You Win the Loki Overlord card.
Level 2 : The Level 1 was perhaps ''easy'' ? Try the Level 2 ! You can try this Level as free challenge if you have win a the tournament or if you own the Loki character above (unsigned) from Level 1 or if you own also a Unsigned pre-4th ed Overlord. For this higher Level this is no more the Loki's deck that you must beat but the stronger Iron Golem deck... If you win the game (if) what's the result ? You win simply the ''Iron Golem'' character.
Level 3 : For this harder Level you must win as always the tournament to have a free challenge or you must own a Unsigned ''Iron Golem'' or 2 Unsigned pre-4th ed Overlord. Now 2 types of challenge are present: you can try to challenge a Dragon lord (Aldrich for the 4th ed) or a Daemon Lord (Sin Marduk for the 4th ed or Eresh q'Shedim). You win the character you have beat.
You will find just down the differents Overlord Attacks and some explanations for each of them. Each decks are create on the site and you can follow the link to discover the cards details of each ones. If I have make some mistakes about the explanations on page don't hesitate to tell me.... thanks.

Note that: There's no Overlord attack deck for the Overlord
Those cards were given as normal promo at Gen Con 2007 of for other occasions with or without the Helena Dascum Overlord Card set that normaly must contains also the following cards : Veil of Secrecy, Calling the Storm, Medusan Lord's Might, Tide's Ascension, Medusan Lord's Guile, Medusan's Heritage, Sack of Baraxton, Malrog's First Test, Medusan's Wargear and The Haunted. Thoses cards exist in both normal and Foil version.
Note also that : There's no Overlord attack deck for the Overlord
This one was only available in a kind of Kit including the following promos cards :
This little Kit was a challenge to play after a Battlepack tournament. The Rules was thoses ones : Before the first challenge, open new Battlepack and replace the Warlord there with Edric DIlchant. Shuffle into the pack Embersmane and Devastating Charge. For the challenge, ALL of your characters are considered to be Deverenian Paladins. This means that you can start them in play as Deverenians, and they dont suffer a loyalty penalty. The Dungeon card, Castle Lorath, begins in play (you dont need to pay the cost of putting it into play). Keep in mind that this Dungeon increases stats of ALL of your Characters, since they are all Deverenian Paladins, per rule above.
Note also that : The following Overlords
are also not taken from a Overlord deck but like the Edric D'Ilchant, thoses Overlords are a challenge that is run after Battlepack Tournament. It is so a Kit type presentation too.
The challenger gets to choose one Qor-Teth Overlord, from those that not yet been won, to challenge against. The winners wins only the Overlord card, not the complete Kit. After the challenge deck is depleted, immediately re-shuffle it back into the deck (This includes any cards that were removed from the game or in the discard pile, but not those in play or attached to your characters). Each Qor-Teth has the ability to summon an Abyssal Ally to help him fight, using the following ability: ''Order: Once per turn: Put a card from your hand face down in rank 1 as an Astral Abyssal Monster fighter.'' The stats and abilities of this fighter are based on which Qor-Teth you play:
* Qor-Teth Firefist: ''Level 1 with +1 ATK, 1 AC, +1 Skill, 1 HP'' and the text ''This character has +1 ATK for each other Abyssal in this rank.''.
* Arcane Qor-Teth: ''Level 2 with +0/+0 ATK, 5 AC, +4 Skill and 1 HP''.
* Elder Qor-Teth: ''Level 4 with +9/+2 ATK, 1 AC, +6 Skill, 3 HP'' and the text ''After a melee strike targets this fighter: If the strike has +5 ATK or less it is a Critical Failure.''
The Kit deck contains the following cards : Deck contents: 2 x Children of Yscar / 2 x Temple of Lore / 2 x Nightclaw / 2 x Skincrawler / 2 x Shadowreaver / 2 x Jackals of Mourn / 2 x Hand of the Queen / 2 x Pit Fight / 2 x Teleport / 2 x Black Moss / 2 x Potion of Blurring and 2 x Giant Strength Potion. So Mercenaries as characters.
THE PHOENIX YEARS :
Illustration : Jason Engle.
11) Into the Forgotten City of Thas-Lirith : Eleventh Overlord Deck from July 2008.
First overlord attack deck for Phoenix, it introduce two new cards :
As specify above in the different steps (or Tiers). The Overlord Loki is used to play the Level 1 (Low Level) and the Iron Golem is used to play the Level 2 (High Level). If you win the Level 1 you win Loki and if you beat the Level 2 you win the Flesh Golem as trophy. The two decks are the same but for the Tier 2, the Iron Golem replace as Overlord Loki so Loki is loosing is Overlord trait for this Level.
Loki Deck Rules (Tier 1):
First we must notify the following Errata for the Loki's character :
The +5 in the text '' Ranged strikes and save DCs from actions performed by Loki from items gain +5 '' has been replaced with +2. Therefore the corrected text reads '' Ranged strikes and save DCs from actions performed by Loki from items gain +2. ''
The rules of the deck so are : For Overlord Challenges, Loki retains his original +5 bonus to his ranged strikes and DCs. Loki starts with a copy of Leveled! attached. Order: Up to twice per turn put an item into play facedown adjacent to Loki with the following stats: +7/+2 ATK, 14 AC, +4 Skill, 2HP with the Construct Trait and level equal to the item used. Order: Once Per Turn shuffle any number of cards from your discard pile into your deck.
Iron Golem Rules (Tier 2):
As specify just above the
replace Loki as Overlord in this higher Level Tier.
So Loki loses his Overlord trait, when an Iron Golem is included in the deck. You can still only play one Iron Golem in a deck with him.
The Rules deck are :

Order : Spend a Wizard: move forward one rank.
Order: Spend a Wizard: perform a Magic Resistance check to discard an item within one rank or removed two cards from any discard pile from the game.
Order: Oncer Per Turn shuffle any number of cards from your discard pile back into your deck.
12) The Shadow of Wings : Twelve Overlord Deck from April 2010.
The Overlord Kit is assembled for a minimum of two Overlord tournaments and contains a 25 card-deck, six participation promo cards to be distribued as the TO sees fit, one extra Overlord.
After the tournament have the first placed player challenge the Overlord Deck with his tournament deck (you may allow the second placed player to defend the deck). If the challenger wins, he may keep the Overlord and the event is over. If he loses, the next placed player may try to win the Overlord, and so on. Play the following rules as if printed on Drasek:
Order : Once per game, target all opposing characters: each target must succeed with a Magic Save (DC 15) or become stunned. This is a Water action. React: Once per turn, after Drasek the Furious kills an opposing character with a melee strike: Remove one wound from drasek the Furious. Order: Once per turn: Shuffle your discard pile into your deck.
