MtG Duels

[HHC]

This thread is for discussion of the game Magic Duels, a free-to-play online collectible card game on Steam:

May seem complicated at first, but it's easy to learn in the single player campaign. It offers a lot of depth and there's a lot of strategy involved building the perfect deck for each gametype.

At the moment it's just me and Anubis playing it full time, but yeah, feel free to join us 
Thread created to discuss things with Kai

Worked well in my first 3 online duels. But a lot depends on fellow deck 
Even won a game with an AI who failed lands 

Weak points: you usually have no more than 2 or 3 creatures on the board.. and you're gonna sacrifice them pretty soon. A mass of flying creatures can also be tricky to handle.
Other than that, it's awesome, incredible removal skills.

I also added some lands btw, to get to 23. In 2 out of 3 games my fellow companion ran out of lands on turn 2... that f@#!s you over so darn bad.
Later on in the game you can use the shadows of the past to pretty much choose what kind of card you want to draw next turn, as usually there's at least 2 or 3 creatures dying before your next turn.

Arent you guys worried if this game will be abandoned?

[Anubis]

Nah, on average 15k are playing. It's magic, magic can never die lol.

[Husk]

heh I'm sure lacoste was just trolling =)

MtG is pretty much the real shit =P

[lacoste]

Nah im actually not trolling xd Just wondering how much of official thing this is, because there were plenty of MtG shenanigans before and none were worthwhile, except that weird client with poor gui. (talking about digital MtG obviously)

[Husk]

oh yeah I know what u mean m8

It is also on iOS and XBox I think. So should be even higher than that.

Its the official product.

It's got lots of bugs still though, and severe connection problems. But hopefully they will fix it. Tacticalwise... there is no card game that can match the depth of MtG.
