Anyone know how the hell you'd get some of these achievements? 5 Turns in a row in vanilla? How is possible?

not vanilla, it's RotF. And it has a card that lets you take extra turns in it, so I'd assume that's how?
Forget to take it after it first happened, but took me after my turn.
Just add the 2 missing rats
Also, the 5 turn one is for RotF. It's basically asking you to do the infinite. You need a reclamax, the tablet and a bunch of draw cards to reclaim the reclamax

You also need the Large Hadron Collider (I think? The one that makes all constructs Mechana Constructs), because the Tablet is an Enlightened and Reclamax only works on Mechana.

There's definitely two achievements for taking 5 turns, one is with RotF, the other is with only CotG.
Figured it out. You have to make the center deck nothing but monsters and tablets. Thus you force the center deck to be reshuffled with banished cards. It's absolutely insane and much harder than the RotF loop
The achievement for Return of the Fallen doesn't stipulate that it is only with that deck so you can play with both Chronicle and Return (Tablet, Reclamax and an 'all mechana constructs card'). For the Chronicle of the Godslayer it has to be done with that deck only.
Good luck with either though, you'll need it!

So is the a bundle deal in other regions? If so how much and what do you get?

Oh man, that is a lot of new cards and new mechanics.
I have bought everything and will play any way anyone wants.

What a great update to Ascension. Game Center and the expansions are nice, but being able to read the cards without zooming on my retina iPad is fantastic. Plus general usability improvements like the 'Next game' button.
All this and imminent Neuroshima Hex multiplayer? Splurge.
Anyway, I'm coming out as an iOS board game player. Added myself to the spreadsheet.

Fuck, this ascension update and new expansion are crazy. Update is awesome so far, and this expansion has a lot of new stuff! It's going to take me a while to figure everything out.

It's really nice being able to read the cards on the board now.
This...could be huge.
Ascension update AND neuroshima hex update. Someone hold me.
I'm still skeptical...
Plus I'm sure I'll get my ass kicked even worse than I do in Ascension. I don't know how people can win playing for power/defeating monsters. Every time I try that route I lose. Maybe the new expansions will help.
The added touch where Ascension pauses a split second before your opponent defeats/acquires a card is a welcome addition when playing on the iphone.

So happy that the Ascension update is live. I love this game and tried as I could, Nightfall did not take for me.
I think about this every time I see another card game on iOS. Magic is such a great game but it's almost like they don't want people to experience it, the cost to be competitive is just insane. I just can't afford to pay hundreds of dollars to build a deck every few months when a new set comes out.
If they would just lower the digital pricing, make a solid auction house (not like the mess that is on MTGO) and create a great interface like Ascension they could print money. Such a huge missed opportunity for everyone.
Same here, keep trying to enjoy nightfall but it isn't working for me.

Pfft! Your opinions are wrong!
This ascension update is amazing though. Time for more games!
Isn't it coming to iPad this year? I don't know anything about Magic so maybe it's not actually what you're looking for.

This isn't the full magic experience. It's a start and kind of a "taste to get you hooked". You can't build your own fully customized decks, it's really a half experience of what the physical game and Magic Online are like. Draft games, constructed tournaments are where the real fun is and extremely expensive.
I'll pick this version up and keep hoping they one day port a better version of Magic Online to the iPad.
I'll keep giving it another chance. I only played a handful - 10 games. I think it will feel a lot better on the iPad too, the iPhone seems very cramped and hard to learn the game on.
Thanks to everyone for pushing me over the edge on the expansion pack, even bought the promo (still not clue what it does). Love the new mechanics.
CCG's and LCG's are way more complicated then implementing board games/Dominion Deck Builers to IOS, and in Magic's case they might cannibalize their own card sales and alienate brick and mortar. I just understand why they're taking a cautious approach with this, as the only ccg's out there on the IOS were pretty much designed for it.
Anyway, I'm desperately awaiting for Summoner Wars. I wants it now.
In That game I played you everything was working out for me. Loving the expansion so far. I've played it more in 1 day than the 8 or so games of the physical version (storm of souls)

Caught a ninja edit there, Astro? Buffing your win/loss record? It's okay not be great at something new.
I'm really enjoying the expansion. Great mechanics and fun new cards. The art style is really nice too.
Why are you quoting a post from before the Magic 2013 announcement? It's coming out now! haha
New CCG type game out BattleCON

Why'd you dump our game, dick?
Cool, I'll add it to the spreadsheet.
Looks like Mindfeud and Take It Easy flopped so I'll just remove them. We can always bring them back if people see the need for it.
Wha happen?

Doc, I don't know what you did on that last turn, but it seemed like it lasted 5 minutes and you played about 20 cards. Nice beat down
Thanks! I think that one ended with a pretty good turn that pushed me over the honor point quota, then activating Tablet of Time's Dawn to get another turn. Good games.
