Yea, that vampire deck that Sorin has is bullshit. Took me a few tries to beat it with the white deck because the fucker kept hitting my creatures with gayass Terminate and Terror.
Diesel Mac, If you're trying to win online, I suggest using any deck but Relics of Doom. That deck takes too long to get going, much like the Teeth of the Predator deck. Hasney, Ears of the Elves is badass! |

not that I want full customisation. I like the "Magic For Dummies" element here where you can pick up and play. I'd like to be able to remove base cards from decks, but otherwise, it's fine. Haven't played the TCG in years. Also, I got to 300/300 GS because of pure chance. Four player game, one guy quits immediately. Playing the White deck, whatever it's called, and the other two are another white deck and the new landfall deck. So white decides to attack me, and he has a better draw. Landfall slowly builds up his army, and suddenly quits. I've been sitting on a Wrath of God as a combo reset button and "screw you," when white also quits. I was almost certainly gonna lose, and I ended up getting the achievement for winning a 3 oe 4 player game instead. |
Quote:
I will agree with you on the customization bit though, but I'm sure they didn't include it because too many people would make ridiculously unbeatable decks and what have you. I just want some fucking Vampire Bats for the black deck! Low cost pump creatures with flying. Is that too much to ask? |

Just started playing this a few days ago and really suck at it so far, I dunno if it's bad luck or just me being terrible but i've only just been able to beat the second campaign battle after about 10 attempts. So anyone got any advice for it?
|
Second campaign battle period, or the second one in the expansion?

It's probably bad luck then. Elspeth can be a right pain in the arse, but it's mostly down to card draw. Unfortunately, this game balances a retarded computer AI with amazing draws.
|
Anyone else notice the AI got worse after the patch for Expansion Pack 2? I keep getting hit with 2 powered instants at the end of the CPU turn on creatures with a 4 defense. I think there's going to be a follow up attack before the turn ends, but then my turn starts and it's still fine and dandy.

A lot of people complained that the AI cast everything before the "Attack" phase. Looks like they just made the AI do the opposite rather than making a smarter AI. It's like they're punishing us for the fanback fans are giving. |
So, Duels is out on PS3. And Expansion 3 is out on PS3 and PC, no date for the 360 has been released.

I hate Stainless.
|
I play occasionally.
|
Damn. No XBL for me, but I'm starting to think the online game is something I should get into. It's kinda hard to find real people to play around here, considering my schedule.

Quote:
|
They're probably waiting for people with both 360 and PS3 to get impatient and buy the PS3 version just so they can get expansion pack 3. I was tempted but thought better of it. I can wait.
|
Nah, bet it will be held up at Microsoft Certification, especially as the last 2 packs crashed the game.

Expansion Pack 3 is out on XBL Marketplace.

Have they fixed the problem with the title update?
Quote:
|
Yeah I got the new pack and the update and my Xbox froze. Then when I tried to play the game again all I got was a black screen. So I deleted the game and downloaded it again and it's working.
|
You sure it's fixed? One of the flaws was it sometimes deleting your progress entirely.
|
So how do you get the "cards?"
Do you like d/l a booster and get 15 random ones or what? |
You have to unlock them in by winning matches in campaign.
|
You get pre made decks to start with.
|
is this available via psn?
also, is there online play? |
Quote:
There is online play. Keep in mind the decks remain premade. I like this because I don't give enough of a shit about magic to worry about full deck editing, but some people bitch and moan. |
:mad:

Tried to get into Marvel Overpower when I was younger, but it just never really interested me enough to stick with it.
Probably because no one else played. WAHEY |
Overpower had cool cards. Too bad the game was dumb.
|
So I love how every time they release a new DLC, MTG gets new bugs.
I've had bonuses by cards "turn off" for me for no apparent reason. Also, I used one of the cards that causes an opponent to discard, only to have those cards inexplicably go to the top of the opponent's deck for no evident reason.... Better lawyout and shit though. |
Do you have to get a compatible do-magigger to play if you haven't bought the new dlc, I forget.
|
Oh goody, it's also back to the "You've unlocked a new card for your deck...Haha PSYCH!" bullshit.
Unlocked one card for the new white deck, powered it off. Played this morning, three wins. Went back tonight, only had one card unlocked. Beat a game, it gave me the same card I'd unlocked before. :| |
lol, you get all the bugs.
|
Nobody's paying attention, BDC.
|
Not having any of those problems KK. Unlocked all the cards for the new decks.
Pretty sad really. :shifty: |
Windows version is working awesomely with all expansions :y:

Magic Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 is out for XBLA and PSN. I got it on PSN because it was discounted with Playstation Plus and I had some money in my "wallet".
It's basically the same as the last one but with new decks and a new campaign. |
Yeah, got it downloading on Steam right now. Would have already been playing it, but there was a cock up and pre-orders didn't unlock right away.
|
Oh and there's some new mode called "Archenemy" where you team up against one big boss.
|
Quote:
|
Yeah you still can't create your own decks from scratch. You can only swap out cards for the pre made ones like the last one. Now thats whats GAY
|
No, liking Metallica is what's gay. :p
Seriously, though, I just don't like the "yearly iteration" deal. I put it in quotes because I know it's not really yearly at this point, but considering how new the old game is to PSN and Steam, I wouldn't be shocked if they had "DotP 2013" in the works already. Regardless, there is little they could do that would merit a new game in this case over say, DLC. |
I like that this was a new game, lets a lot of new decks in while maintaining some balance. For £6.99 I can't complain at a full new game.
If it was actually yearly, that would be bullshit though. |

Downloaded Magic 2012 yesterday, but I won't be playing it anytime soon.
|
I should give it a shot. Of course, my Xbox and PS3 are still in storage until I can be arsed to snag them and my TV.
|
It's all BDC's fault. Make him buy you a new tv.
|
True. BDC, buy me a new TV.
|
Gonna get this for steam later probably, never played the game at all, just fancy an alternative card game...
|
So it's basically the same game with a slicker interface and superficial changes. Not surprised. However, the decks from the demo still seem too similar to DotP to make me care much.
BDC can still even use his "eat my bears" catchphrase. With totally not grizzly bears. |

Can you take cards out of your deck? I've been told by multiple folks that you can add all the unlocked cards you want, but are unable to take the starter cards out of the deck.

Started playing the archenemy campaign last night and got to Tezzeret. Used Jace and the guy with the dragon deck as my partners and I used the vampire deck. Tezzeret didn't even stand a chance. Jace is by far the smartest AI partner I've had yet in this campaign, with the Merfolk bitch being the dumbest.
|
Merfolk bitch. :lol:
|
I tried the demo, got slayed by Koth... The thing where, if he eliminates a creature then the troll gains a stone or w/e was really fucking me over.
|
You can take cards out of your deck in this one, but you of course can't go below 60 cards.
Pretty fun. |
Just found out that you can in fact invite 2 friends to help you play the archenemy campaign. So KK, if you need help beating it, or want to do it faster, you, BDC, and I can beat that campaign together. Much easier than doing it with 2 AI. I already have my white deck completed and I'm almost done with the vampire deck.

If they sell us 30 bucks worth of expansions and then hit us with a new one in another year or so, I'm going to kill Stainless, Wizards, and everybody in this thread not named BDC. BDC will be left to tell the horrors of my wrath. And of male pattern baldness. |
Quote:
So it's weird being stuck with a 60 card minimum in this game, though when you consider the last title allowed some decks to get to nearly 90 if you included the good cards.... |
60 is the minimum, and always has been for constructed decks IRL. 40 is the minimum for sealed deck or draft play.

Quote:
It may be now, but "always has been" is totally false. Sorry. |
Slightly askew of the topic, but did anyone else hear about this?:

Yeah what a nerd.
|
I play with Jace's deck mostly. It relies a bit too much on a couple if cards but I have a similar deck in TCG that is a heavy illusions deck. Lord of the Unreal is my friend. I usually copy LotU with phantasmal image so he benefits from hexproof. Once that happens, good luck.

The Jon Finkel story is pretty ridiculous. The girl clearly just wanted hits on her blog or whatever, but putting him down because he plays a card game is just sad.
Especially considering he's earned over 300,000 playing magic and way more playing poker professionally. Man, is Duels buggy. Many game freezes, other stupid glitches and a big one where when you zoom in on a card, you can't zoom back out and thus can't really play anymore. The Kiora Atua green/blue deck is pretty insane. Eldrazi and a kicked rite of replication on anything big (Primeval titan and basically put the rest of your lands into play? yes please) The expansion will be adding a Liliana deck, an Ajani deck and one other one. The Kiora deck adding mass polymorph is going to be hilarious. |
Magic: The Gathering Online
I used to play M:TG a few years ago. (I'd say it's been atleast 5 years since I've been involved in playing)
I've been considering getting back into it, but instead of going cardboard, I would go with MTG: Online. Does anyone else play this? Any tips? Reviews? Thanks :) |

Oh shock. It's an annual deal now. |
Well yea, they're releasing it on XBLA, PSN, and Steam yearly to coincide with the new Core Set. At least this is a game worth buying yearly, unlike say Madden or Call of Duty.
|
":lol:"
|
Glad you agree KK. It's a cheaper investment too.
