Especially if you have a giant growth or two as well. 
That's a potential 9 or 12 points of damage on turn 4 following up at least 5 points on turn 3.

I've been playing this game like a week straight now. I really like it, though it's nothing ultra amazing, it was just perfect for me. I had been thinking about getting back in to Magic for a while now (have all my cards), but I haven't put forth the effort. Something about this game just made me download the trial and then insta purchase. <3 it. Just wish I had some people to play co-op with. Everyone around here is like "man that's lame".. :-/
But really, love it. I know it's limited and I complain myself about some of the limitations, but for what it is an the price it was, and the timing of the release, I can't beat this..

The decks are all comparably shitty. There's something called card advantage in magic. The player that is able to use more cards for more effects generally wins. When you put that blanchwood armor on that grizzly bear, you just set yourself up for a two for one trade, either with a terror effect or a deathtouch, and blue can bounce your bear so you lose both tempo and the armor.
Green, red and possibly white seem the worst to me. Green has a bunch of big guys without any mana ramp so you can play them turn 4-5, red is just a pile of creatures and spells without any thought to the mana curve and white seems to try to make up for its shortcomings with lifegain, which doesn't win games. The BG elves deck is decent because it actually has some synergies, and the Blue and Black decks both have a plan, but G,R and W are just piles.

Boohiss! I was winning that four player game and host dropped? Does it change around hosts when players lose or did the one guy who died drop and kill the whole game?

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Won my first ranked match, I got him down to 1 and was almost positive that he would quit. But he didn't.

My suggestion is to either pre-lube your butthole and BOHICA, or fight fire with fire and use the G/B deck.
Seriously, it's WAY too good. I was using G/B against a mono green deck and there was a creature stand off. Eventually, I had around 20 elves, counting a shit ton of 1/1 elf tokens), that were actually 2/2 due to the elf ability. Then I played coat of arms which made all my elves power and toughness somewhere around 20/20. I attacked for fucking 337 damage in one turn.

Unfortunately, we are quite the minority it seems. Out of 9 games last night, 5 were quit-droppers. Of those that did follow through, fine conversations were had and private rematches scheduled.
Some nice folks out there, too bad they are few and far between.

Yeah I'm kind of avoiding playing online because the first time I started game, the jerk dropped immediately when I was about to totally rock him. :-/
I don't want to bother playing through the match and have that crap happen. Just no fun. . It wasn't even a ranked match! Why would he quit..? :-/

My record for damage-dealing came after I ground the Green deck to a standstill and stalled my opponent at one life while using Immaculate Magistrate to pump creatures, Nath to get Elf tokens, and Rhys to gain life.
When Coat of Arms finally landed, I swung with everything to deal 358 damage to my opponent, as Rhys pushed me to 112 life. Unfortunately, my 102/103 Elvish Warrior was blocked.

Kind of irritated..
Was playing against a green deck with this black deck.
Sure, the troll with regen has protection from black spells/abilities, but the Karlupsan card which has protection from "black and blue spells" mentions nothing about abilities, yet can't be the target of black abilities? Kind of pisses me off.. Lost because of that.

I've had good success so far against the G/B deck with the mono-white and especially the mono-black decks. The key, obviously, is to disrupt the early game so that the G/B deck never gets any combos going, as well as removing the key threats from play with cards like pacifism or terror or consume spirit or royal assassin.Dai Kaiju said:
Sure, it's heavily reliant on a good starting hand and good draws early, but the same can be said with the G/B deck.
Yeah I played with G/B a lot after I beat the game and although it feels insanely powerful when you get the combos going, it's just as easy to never get going (been on both sides of this). Black can also seriously screw up any G/B gameplan with a couple of racks in play by Turn 4 or 5 after G/B has played a bunch of cheapie cards to prepare for an Elfapalooza that may never come. I'm glad b/c I hate mirror matches.

Well this game just made me look like an asshole. I played my first online game last night and ended up in a 4 player match. Came down to 3 people but I was clearly going to be eliminated after my turn, but when I went to play cards nothing happened. I could move the cursor but couldn't continue or play anything. I waited until my timer ran out and the game just sat there. I guess I was disconnected but I didn't get a message or anything. I hope I didn't ruin the game for the other players.

Luckily, the only times I've frozen up was during CPU battles. The one time things locked up in Ranked was in the lobby waiting for folks to "press X". Still got a nasty tell for it, that was retracted after a brief discussion. Again, nice folks are playing. They are just rare.

Did you try moving the camera with the d-pad? I know that moves things along when that sort of thing happens in single player.Borgnine said:

I think I know the freeze you're talking about from single player, usually after you zoom in on a card? I pull the left trigger to pop out of that one, this wasn't that though. Just weird that I didn't get an error message or anything. Oh well.
They really need to change it so passive effects all happen at the same time. I played a 2v2 the other day where 3 of us had green in our decks. There were a total of 8 "get 1 life for every green spell cast" artifacts and it takes 3 seconds for each +1hp to go off. That is 24 seconds per cast.
As far as online goes, did they change it so you unlock a new card if your opponent quits out? I don't care about my win/loss record or skill rating. I just want to unlock cards without playing the AI over and over again.

I think i destroyed her with the Red deck but i cant remember. With the Red deck use your damage spells on creatures, forget about her flyer birds, and be agresive. Try to start always with Mountain/Raging Goblin on first turn.
With the Green deck its all about putting lands in play. enough to get the 5/4 6/4 creatures and once you have multiples in play hope for an overrun.
Dont worry about doing direct damage or her own life healing spells
