Despite all its shortcomings I'm still having fun with this. I just can't wait till the steam version comes out so I don't have to deal with this tiny iPhone screen. The increased daily gold is very welcome - I at least have the potential to earn all the cards in a reasonable period of time although realistically it will take me much longer. One of the reasons I gave up on Hearthstone is because the grind was so crushing. Now when I open a booster, even if it's full of poo poo I at least know I'm one step closer to getting the actual cards I want and it's not a repetitive cycle of dusting hundreds of poo poo cards to get the one card you really want - ad infinitum.

The Human Crouton posted:Did it? MTGO may be ugly and buggy as gently caress but I'm not sure on what metric you would say that it isn't successful. I finally started doing ranked duels in this. I've been putting it off because I've gotten nothing but garbage other than that 4 mana white mythic with built in Propaganda effect. But it turns out that common white weenies is still a decently strong deck, at least at this point in the game. Went 5 and 1 last night on the back of Elite Vanguard and Perilous Myr. E: It's now been almost 48 hours since I've got a new quest or my first win of the day bonus and I still have yet to get any gold for the community quests. God drat this game is garbage.

Anyone else on iOS having a problem with the game tracking time? I've been getting only about one quest every three days and have never gotten it to give me my first win of the day bonus other than on the very first online win I ever did.

The game is buggy as hell, I've had it complete a quest and never give me the coins, and the quest slots randomly populate (and frequently don't populate at all). It's a decent time waster but no sub for real mtg that's for sure. The deck building restrictions are weird (only two of a given rare? Really? No mana creatures?) and the fact that you have to use the god awful deck building wizard to get credit for the archetype quests frustrates me to no end.

I've had the issue with not getting quest coins but restarting the app always gives them to me, I just never get the notification. Community quests however have never given me coins and they always run into negative time remaining for a while after they are done. I really hope once the Steam version comes out someone will find a way to just trigger a poo poo ton of wins in solo battles to get you your coins.

Wizards is so incompetent that they decided to store account data client-side in their microtransactions game, so I give it about two days before there's no reason at all to buy gold.

Incorrect. You have to be connected to their server to add gold to your account balance, and also to use gold to buy boosters, and also to open boosters. It's probably not impenetrable, but it's not as stupid as I thought it would be (Magic 2015 kept all saves client-side and people hacked the crap out of that at first). edit: this applies to the Steam version, not sure about iOS

precision posted:Incorrect. You have to be connected to their server to add gold to your account balance, and also to use gold to buy boosters, and also to open boosters. It's the same on iOS. However, the game does not require any checking during a duel which is why I do think you could theoretically rig something up to start a duel and have it count as a win instantly. Hell you don't even need to be connected during a duel to have it count, it just tries to phone home at the end and will give you a chance to connect to cash in your win. However at 15 coins per solo battle, it would take a poo poo ton of wins to get your packs unless someone worked out a way to automate it. In other news I finally got my coins for the community quest that ended more than a day ago. I still haven't gotten my first victory of the day bonus in however long though. I'm also probably about a dozen packs in and have yet to pull much more that straight garbage. Tom Gorman posted:woooo get hype for MAGIC. THE. GATHERING.

Wow, this actually looks like Duels might be worth playing again. Is your account platform independent, i.e. could I make an account on the PC client and use that one on my PS4? If I can only play it on the PC, it becomes a lot less appealing and I might just reinstall MTGO

So with this coming out tomorrow, there is only one question I have, is it like DOPW where you have to use a really lovely deck to beat much better decks in order to unlock playable ones? I mean, 2014 starts you off with an high power high casting cost deck and sends you against a quick aggro deck you have zero hope in beating.

The campaign is pretty easy, you get gold and some cards, I can't remember for sure but I think you get the cards you play with. Getting gold is pretty easy if you're doing all the quests and winning some games. Farming single player hard ai for 15 gold is more coins/hr then playing ranked for 20 I think, though obviously less fun. In the iOS version joining games fails continuously and you're lucky if it only takes you a minute or 2 to start a game. Also your winrate is way higher vs AI especially if you restart games with bad openings.

You can make decks however you want from the pool of starter cards and the origins (some cards missing) block and play these in random battles vs AI or other players. As well as in 2HG. However for the campaign you get a pre-made deck for each of the 5 planeswalkers that evolve as you progress through the 5 battles for each. And also, for completing some of the daily quests for gold you need to make decks via the deck building wizard and win games with that deck. You'll earn 150g (one boosters worth) from each planeswalker you defeat, as well as 3 bonus boosters from completing the Gideon-campaign. After that you can earn up to 400g from random battles per day. Not including daily/weekly quests or campaign gold. You'll need 72 boosters to unlock all the cards.

It's worth noting that they still haven't sorted out a lot of the issues with quests and stuff on the iOS version. At least for me, it still takes 2-3 days for me to get a daily quest and I have only gotten my first win of the day bonus once and have been playing this since launch (with at least one online win a day). Be prepared to grind A LOT of duels with really lovely cards unless you get lucky enough to get some good cards and/or synergy from your first few packs.

To do one of the "archetype" quests you have to use a deck created by the "deck wizard", if you use a deck you made yourself it won't work. The deck creation wizard is bad, makes awful decks, and there is very little leeway to fix them.

It comes up with a gimmick in the colors you choose (for example Flying creatures, Artifacts, Recursion) and basically just tries to load that up as much as possible without paying attention to actual good cards in that color or building a good mana curve. I just had it build a blue and black deck for me where the cheapest creature was Frost Lynx.
