Ok I'm hearing that its a bug currently that you don't get IP from a rift run if you get 8 or more wins, and that they know about it, if anyone was curious.

Since my UVerse is out I looked into the mobile version. Looks like there was a mobile beta that worked but was taken down for the order release and won't be up until they take people off the stuff they are doing to finish it.

With my tiny rear end phone screen and sitting on a train Ill pass. Probably one of those trendy ipad games that everyone is trying to cashgrab the gently caress out of the moblie market with subpar excuses for games. I installed Scorched Earth on my Android Phone and some SNES roms and have been golden for a long time.

On topic of cards. The Genesis spy is totally cool for making a deck saturation deck. Now if I could just get it to work against Stanley's bullshit ...

Are you having any success with the spy? I don't end up against him much, but he seems to slow GI decks down when he's in the command zone.

I put three in the command zone and three in the deck. Played against an triple exile deck in ranked and he made me discard my hand and redraw and he pmed me that every card he drew was misinformation. So I would say it is at least funny.

Just playing through the campaign stuff now and enjoying myself. Game is rather stingy with doling out cards to new players for constructed is my only complaint.

Is the collection starter worth the few bucks?

If you want to be competitive in core? Yeah, it takes a few cards. But the game is pretty liberal with handing out cards as far as CCGs go.

Pro tip: If you want some specific commons or uncommons, just ask in trade chat for handouts. Once people have 3 of a card they almost never need more, so people who've been playing a bunch will just give you stuff if you're polite about it.

After being cajoled by a couple of friends by a couple of friends who've been playing for a few months I gave this a whirl. Definitely interesting, the simultaneous turn mechanics makes prediction and bluffing a ton of fun. I'm currently running a hyper-aggressive Overseer/Flamedawn aggro deck, most of the pubbies I've run into have no idea how to cope with the aggression and I've even run over my vet friends in a couple of friendly games. Good stuff.

How advisable is it to give rifting a shot when you're still new? I understand that it's competitive draft, about many wins do you need to accrue before you start turning a profit in funny munny?

right now you almost never get much of a profit because after 6 wins or whatever when you normally would it just gives you 6 cards as your reward. if you win like 50 games you get a free deck tho!

Some of the people playing ranked are downright insane. I had a rough time dealing with a deck made up of just Conscripted Militia. I want to believe that his sideboard is 15 more conscripts.

I mainline utility in my decks so the only use I have for a sideboard is to take stuff out of my deck after the first game. Really hosed with an Artifact deck that I had two overloads and two grave robs all ready for his bullshit.

My last ranked was against someone who played Kyrallic, 3 Overwhelming Deads, Corrupted Hehkeem, and finished with Avarrach Has Arisen. I could have won the game by morale by assassinating the right target, but his support zone was so full it wasn't actually possible to pick a target.

It starts lagging when the game resolves a round with that many dudes too. IW would benefit greatly from a card limit to all zones. There's nothing 30+ characters can do for you that you couldn't already do with just 10 or 15.

I just played a ranked game against a guy with every loving max badge and gold border. I had to shield my eyes his loving avatar in the load screen was so colorful. He was called NerdNed or something like that and he loving destroyed me in ways I never knew existed.

With that in mind I need a firing solution for that loving 30/30 Green Dragon that can't loving die. It says it can only be killed by sacrifice effects so the only thing I can think of is going back to playing my exile deck to deal with that. Seriously need to make a loving deck that is anti control.

Off the top of my head the only way I can think to handle mass removal and super control decks is Genesis unending drones. But I could never get any of my drone decks to really go hog wild. Someone get a hold of that overmind or the other crazy flying saucer in genesis and trade it to me for something. I have to kill this gently caress next time around.

Oh and protip. Putting the Thunder Apprentice in your command zone seems to always give the opponent a starting kill target thunder apprentice card every loving game.

This brings back great memories of being literally the only player to top 10 in Waterbury back in the day with a type one suicide black deck. Players doing ridiculous poo poo like this Ned guy and using strange outdated deck types that they had no sideboard against. I must go on my pilgrimage once again and find my gimmick that will throw these fucks for a loop. I am still eyeballing my original Devil of Dispair deck and thinking it may bring me back to glory.

Then again what I really want is to deploy the Ultra Unit and still can't figure out a way for the deck to work.

I'm getting back into the game relatively big-time by which I mean I'm playing again but still am going to be a cheap gently caress and not spend any money on it. Feel free to add me for some casual games I have a bunch of lovely decks and one horrible annoyance of a deck that combines DoD and Sleepers to be frustrating as hell to play against. If I could just get an actual Daode or whatever his name is, +0/+3 guy, my deck would be complete for maximum annoyance value. Anyways my username is InfinityGaia I think I'm not sure if caps matters.

I haven't faced it, but it looks like it's vulnerable to transformation effects and things that remove cards from play. If you're pure GI, I think your only options are holding him off with anomalies and mass shifts, stealing him with Zuza or removing him from the game with the calamity or an ethereal fusion.

Something like Humble or whatever the name of that card is that basically wipes the text on the card + assassinate, or Siren to take control of it yourself :D
