Well, I haven't played around with the new decks much, but in the process of the unlocks, I got to preview them. I got memory erosioned within an inch of my life....Seriously, chucking four cards to play a single card? I thought one of them was bad.

Nicol Bolas' deck has mad creature control. And several ways to draw cards. The Elf deck finally gets the Piper, which makes sense, only to get a new Elf in the Cries of Rage deck that would make sense in the Elf deck. Though it works in that other deck. Still, with limited customisation, it's frustrating to find your last unlock is...Another Taira's Rebelion. Booourns.

Still, 3 new challenges, 3 new decks, a five level "campaign," and more unlocks for each deck. It expands the game...Now if only I could go three games without the system locking it up.

Tez's deck is definitely less potent out of the box, BTW. It's the only one I've played at all, and they fluff it with...Ornothopers? Yeah, wouldn't want to risk drawing something useful....

Got the expansion and played it for the last couple of nights on my nephew's 360 since this game seems to freeze every time on mine.

Nicol Bolas seemed pretty easy to beat.

Yea, he's not nearly as a pain in the ass as Tezzeret was. Gotta love the black deck and it's discard abilities. :D

You guys serious? Tez was a walk in the park for me compared to Nic.

Could be the decks I used too, but it took me a few tries to beat Tez cuz he kept getting lucky as shit with those artifacts and would always seem to find a way to keep pumping them up and I had nothing to block with. I ended up beating him with the blue deck because I kept using counterspell on his shit.

I think I used black to beat him.

Tez or Nic?

Tez

Ah ok. Either way, Tez is a homo.

Went ahead and paid the 10 bucks for the online PC game. You get 800 cards so it's a pretty good deal. Been playing the pre constructed decks for now but I'll make my own later.

how much are expansions on the PC? I mean, whatever you call them...Boosters, etc.

4 bucks for 15 card booster packs. 12 to 20 bucks for theme decks.

Yikes. Kinda pricey, innit?

Yeah that's why I'm sticking with the cards they give you when you get the game.

Makes sense. I don't know if I'd really bother with that. I like DotP because it's simple, easy, and casual.

Just pulled the greatest comeback ever! Was down to 1 life and Nissa Revine or whatever her name is had 32. Playing with Mind of Void, had 2 flying creatures with 5/6 and killed off her 1/1 creatures, she tried to finish me with Drain Life, countered it. Then she just kept drawing forests while I pummeled her into submission.

God I need a life. :(

Have you guys heard about the Magic the gathering Tactics game coming out? Hopefully that will be worth grabbing.

For PS3. Yeah, sounds interesting.

Not heard about it. I know Duels is making it to PC and PS3 now, though.

Had to cheat to finish some of the challenges. A couple of them were total mind fucks.

Only got Cries of Rage left to fill until I get 100%

....

What. You can't tell me you figured them all out on your own.

Yes?

They weren't really hard.

Yeah right.

Don't hate me because you're slow...

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Eons of Evil is terrible.

The only thing that makes it effective in the hands of the AI is that they get predertermined draws.

Been playing Magic Online for PC quite a bit. Just constructed my first deck called Fire and Dread and won several matches with it. :cool:

They need the option to make your own decks in the 360 version. It's fun to see it all come together.

No they don't.

On a related note, DotP still has a progress delete glitch. My buddy found it out the hard way, a day before my 360 died. I checked the Wizards forum, and it's not even uncommon.

Meanwhile, Stainless Games is getting rewarded for their XBLA glitchfest with a new deal.

Yes they do. :mad:

That would turn it from a fast and fun game into...Magic the Gathering.

Fuck that.

At least have the option. Like have matches for regular Planeswalker decks and matches for constructed decks. Magic online has it.

Magic Online is a different animal. If you want Magic Online, play Magic Online.

Any of you ever play the actual CCG?

Got a bunch of cards but no one I know wants to play with me. :(
