    yeah I was more just countering the opinion that you need to pay a dollar to unlock every deck. I've only paid to unlock a few decks, usually after I played with the deck for a solid five or ten rounds to get a feel for it and saw that the deck wouldn't be effective until I unlocked the locked cards. Even then I've still just done it the old fashioned way for a lot of decks. And I've realized it's not as fun to play with fully unlocked decks so I've been just doing it the old fashioned way lately with rakdos and garruks decks.

    As I said, I can definitely see the point to the full unlocks if not wanting to spend the time needed, but I will NEVER understand the point of the "Foil" IAPs! Why would I want to spend a dollar just to have some of the cards eerily glow and pulsate in one of the decks? I mean I could maybe get behind paying a buck to see this feature in all of the decks but can't imagine anyone silly enough to drop $21 to see this effect in all of the decks.

    Agreed. I feel like having all cards foiled ruins the awesomeness of the foil promo cards too

    I love this game but boy did it tick me off last night. I know I'm late to the party but I started working on the challenges again. I thought that they were cleverly designed and fun until I hit challenge #7, Sculpting the Perfect Warrior. I didn't understand what was happening with the "living weapon" cards because I had never encountered them in the campaign, the "more info" didn't describe them and neither did the help section. I figured out how they were used and tried for hours to figure out this challenge. One thing I was baffled about was why sometimes I could cast my Phyrexian Metamorph and when I did I would die instantly. I finally broke down and looked up the solution online. My stumbling block? Oh it was another concept not mentioned anywhere, phyrexian mana that lets you pay two life for the cost. How the **** was I supposed to know this? No wonder I couldn't solve the challenge. :mad:

    That's not ideal, I agree. On the plus side you've managed to play 99% of one of the most complicated games in the world, and only stumbled on the last 1%...

    I like your way of thinking! :)

    I got over it and am working on puzzle #8. I like a good challenge.

    I can't see this fitting on the iphone screen. It's hard enough to fit on the iPad.

    They said that about assassins creed recollection and it fits just fine. Many other games have been dubbed not able to fit and they've also been just fine.

    Sure if you've got 50 creature cards out in play, it's going to be difficult to fit all that in. But I've never had that situation, and generally have more than enough room.
    There's also ways for grouping things together if you really want to play with fifty creatures out on the board.

    I think it can be done, and really hope they do it, because i reckon it will trump just about every card game across iPad and iphone if they do.

    what are the odds of any more DLC coming out for this game? I'm still working my way through unlocking all the decks and customizing them, but I'm curious as to how many decks this will end up with. Also, are wizards definitely never adding promo cards to any of the new decks?

    Grave Titan

    I was looking at the obedient dead deck on the deck manager and I don't see grave Titan in the deck or in the unlock cards part? How do I get this card in my deck?

    Thank you, are those all the promo codes?
    Secondly, what are the decks that dominate?

    AFAIK, yes those are all the codes.

    Dominant decks? I'll say the Goblin deck can be vicious in a hurry if you can get it going. And Crosswinds is good too, but it takes time to set up. Most of the DLC decks are great as well.

    Edit: helpful analysis on the original decks HERE

    I've used this site for deck guides :
    http://megamaster125.angelfire.com/dotp2013/index.html

    Also you can google and find wingspant's deck guides on top tier

    Basically any deck can be incredibly powerful when its fully unlocked. Certain decks are more powerful against others, but all have some effective builds. Wizards have done a really good job of balancing the game so that you can win with just about any deck. It really depends on how you want to play. I personally like blue control decks, but I've won and lost to just about every deck. The one thing I'll say is that i always pays to trim your decks to 60 cards. most of the strategy of magic 2013 is in the deck trimming process.
