This was an early design decision to speed up online play. The alternative is to have to confirm every single action your opponent takes on their turn which can get quite tedious and monotonous, not to mention it would drag games out quite a bit. As it is, PvP play is much slower than PvC play due to the time it takes humans to make decisions.

An example of how slow things could be with counter cards, is in the M:tG Plainswalker game for the Xbox 360. There is a little counter with every card you play and you have the chance to pause it to play a card if you want, or if you don't want to let the timer continue. This is annoying as shit, as it seems when I played it that anytime I wanted to play a card to counter something, I missed the timer, and anytime I didn't want to, I had perfect time to do something. It's annoying as hell. SE does go a lot faster because of the lack of counter cards (I don't really count traps), but if there were some, it would add a lot to strategy, but it is not necessary. I like things just the way they are.

i think game needs counters of some sort. maybe like this, you play a counter on your turn anticipating what your opponent might do. say you play a card that says cancel the next damage spell your opponent casts and this card lasts for X turns and gets played face down. so when your opponent plays a damage card in the X amount of turns, it activates the counter card and both are sent to graveyard. sounds good to me and probably only me haha

Dude.... so I was f*cking playing some guy with a Darkclaw solo deck that took f*cking forever, and it was finally getting down to the nitty gritty he had 11 health, and I had no cards left in my deck, but was still at 25 health, I had nothing but direct damage in my hand and 12 resources (had 2 fireballs and and one lightning strike, just enough to take him out in one turn) and when it was my turn I just f*cking lost. Didn't do a god damn thing, didn't close out or forfiet, didn't take too much time to play any cards, didnt do anything and I just lost... with 25 health (soon to be 23 since there was a bazaar out and I had no cards in my deck). What a waste of f*cking time. Done with this game till the next update. Yeah, I am a sore loser when I lose for no reason.

The bug with Rain Delay has been fixed in the next release.

Cool, good to know.

Bleh.

Does a Unique Card mean I can only have one per deck or I can have more than one in the deck, but can only have one unique at a time on the field?

AnAdolt · #**1029** 03-09-2011, 06:04 PM

The second case.

Lost connections will occur from time to time. It's the nature of the beast and it is inevitable. There should be no penalty involved for a busted connection.
