Thanks. Camzy, wipe a layer of honey on it and it is done. Wow, I see high calibre matches here. Great if we could post some after-action reports here. And I am going to take extra cautions to match against you guys...
I bloody love this game. Asynchronous multiplayer works really well. I'm 'The Raven 1983' on GC. Add me if you want.
Join the tournament if you want to! we're looking for one more . http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=100139
Well I got destroyed but I was certain of defeat when you picked the draw three cards early in the game.

New update to address the crashing when attempting to play online that some players (myself included) were getting. Seems to be working, I saw a single old invite from Arashi but even after accepting the invite it still shows as pending with a badge on the app. We'll see how things go since the update is barely out
I'm still loving the game but I never seem to get my notifications when I is my turn. I have a few times but that is out of a number of games I've played.
You learn more about this game every day. The value of deck cycling is really dawning on me. The likes of Druids of the Stone Circle look great on the surface, but all they tend to do early game is stall you. Then there's the Temple Librarian which looks weak, but makes deck cycling an extremely fast process and in combo with a deck drawer, works wonders.
Btw I noticed something strange yesterday. I too a drawing card (no the drawing card, 3cards) cycled twice my deck and never had it in my hands until the third cycle. I think somewhere there is a bug in the deck shuffling ... I had the feeling already for a while. Weird.
I hate async ... I forget especially when i cannot predict when i can restart playing. I know your strategy, I could see it from your deck This time I was ready, not confused like the first match. And I think we had opposite strategies.
You are describing the way I play .... Even if in the last two days I am trying something else, which is obviously not working as I a loosing always. I guess deck cycling with a focused start suits me better.
Well, I'm not entirely sure I understand how this game plays, and I really don't care for "collectible card games" like Magic, as to me they seem to be mostly about who can spend the most money on cards and thus amass an overwhelmingly powerful deck at the expense of those who can't spend as much, but I think maybe this is more like Dominion? There's no plan for DLC cards that help you crush your opponents, right? Right? Well, hopefully so. The fact that this it has online multiplayer is what put it over the top for me. I'll try it out later today.
Need one more for the tournament to ever start... http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=100139&page=8
It's not like magic it's more like dominion there are no booster packs or anything to buy, they will eventually add an expansion though, but it will be a core expansion to the game proper and not some booster pack crap. Anyway try it you will more than likely like it.
noticed something when I played a few more games today. there's a certain level of "luck" involved. by this i mean the starting hand of 5. Because you only get 2 Militia and 8 Apprentices, if there's a card that's good like [Ascetic of the lidless eye], draw 2 cards cost 5, you're out of luck if your opponent gets 5 starting hand of Apprentices. This happened to 1 of my game with another person, there's 2 of this card and i get 4 apprentices + 1 militia, no luck. He then able to obtain both card in 2 rounds... I then try to reverse my luck by just recruiting default Mystics to ram up the white mana pool. In the end, despite his excellent card drawing deck, I managed to edged out slightly at 6 points.. phew. talk about a demotivating starting game. he only has 1 mystic and 7 Heavy Infantry and 6 Apprentices.... Interesting....
