Ugh the friggin' Gruul Bloodthirst encounter. That's the only one that really gave me any kind of problem on my first playthrough.

My first Sealed pool gave me two Time Warps and an Archaeomancer. I don't like to play blue, but... it seemed too funny not to see what I could do with that. The Switcheroo I got in a later pack made it even better.

I just had the AI make an actual smart play and I'm still kind of shocked. I swung in with a team of Eldrazi, including It That Betrays, and instead of sacrificing land like it almost always does, the computer sacced Sunblast Angel. It That Betrays put in into play on my side and it killed all my other creatures. Well done, AI.

That one was tough. I only won it because I could prey upon his 1/1 pinger really early and having one big dude preventing regular attacks from his, now not so strong, creatures.

Challenges are easy, the only one I can't get is doing 200 damage achievement in the berserker challenge.

I'm a total magic noob, and played through the camping once with the beginner green deck. Sealed play seems cool, but I heard you can't delete the deck you draft. Any tips before I draft myself a shitty deck?

You can't delete the pool you got. You can change your deck after you get your pool I believe. But you just can't, say, delete a pool you don't like or have won with to play with a new one.

Which means, RAIC, there really isn't any tips to give you. You'll get what you get, no strategy involved.

My game actually doesn't work.

I'm hoping they either fix it or give me my money back somehow.

The Deal 200 Damage in the Berserker Challenge achievement seems come down mostly to not screwing up the timing in the Declare Combat stage. I knew exactly what to do and still failed several times before getting it right.

What's the bet that DotP is eventually going to be merged with MTGO? :D

I'm betting against it. They serve very different functions.

Really? Sealed decks, multiplayer component, all they need now is a draft format and the ability to buy boosters and they're more or less there

The idea behind the Duels series is to provide a simple and easy method to teach new players how to play the game. MTGO is nowhere even close to being able to serve that purpose.

So.... The sealed ai really seems to be.... Stupid?

Like, the normal single player AI isn't fantastic, but it's still reasonable. Not only does the sealed AI do stuff like main phase giant growth before attacking, it frequently main phases pump spells... And then doesn't attack with them!

Does anyone know if they fixed the multiple codes problem for Android? I installed it onto another device today, and the code seems very familiar. But I can't check it since the device that seems familiar (my tablet) is busted.

Hey, so, does anyone else have this on Steam? I'd like to try some of the online stuff, but I'm generally loathe to play with anonymous online people.

I'm CastleOtranto on Steam if you want to hit me up for some multi-player or Two Headed Giant. I am, in nearly all circumstances, not a dick.

Invite sent Yaxley. I'm Lurkon (of course, haha) and I'm not on my Windows partition right now, but I'm totally game in the future.
