Started as Necro. Go through the tutorial. Start playing duels. Rack up 10 wins and the highest win streak cheevo in my first 10 games.

People are so bad at moving their creatures around. They just leave them to die when they could have moved it and forced a response.

I just hit 500 ELO with my necro deck, a few games before hitting level 6. I've lost one(1) games so far. And I'm not very good. I keep making obvious play errors and still winning. The amount of damage I've missed out on is pretty absurd.

Also, the sheer number of lovely cards people will play is insane. Such as the various fogs for only a single row. So terrible, yet I've ssen 4 necro decks running them. Decks which do not start with them :negative:

Oh yeah, on as CynicJester by the by.

Have they said anything about improving the servers?

Also, from earlier in the thread:

Meh, they are useful for defense. Someone dropped some pod that gives a 2 poison counter if a melee attacks, that sucks. Then again, they also kept dropping something that kept me from targetting their creatures in the row, not attacking them—lols.

Then somehow I lost a match with 8 hp left, which was frustrating because I was starting to gain the upper hand.

The problem with using purely defensive cards is that they won't win you the game, and creatures also do defense. Even if the creature dies in a turn, that's still the same effect you'd get from one of the single row/line fogs.

I deliberately did not try and push to 4 Magic because it significantly slows down the Might curve.

You're not going very high on the might curve and you're not playing any fortunes. Going up to 4 magic is so worth it. The only 5 you play is Atropos and he doesn't usually land at 5 resources in any case.

Man, I made a Sandalphon weenie deck with the usual mass removal. poo poo is pretty much cheating. After playing Necro, the sheer speed at which I poo poo out my hand is absurd as Haven. And thanks to Tithe collector, going first feels like less of a waste. And going second with double tithe collector into Crusader is hilarious. People keep quitting after two turns.

I still can't get past Fleshbane in the campaign. I've tried necro and inferno starter decks but I don't have many cards to tweak them. Considering picking up a box of the base set, would that be a terrible idea?

I have 1375 seals if that gives you an indicator of what I could buy.

Save for the Champion box. Just play more games and level up a few times. The campaign is not worth losing out on the value you'd get from the Champion box. There's only 6 more missions after the one you're on, which is like 150 seals I believe.

Reached 1000 elo today. :)

Now if I could only face a non-Ishuma deck at some point. Thus far it seems like everyone over 1000 elo is playing Ishuma.

The only way I beat Ishuma decks is if I get lucky and manage to fill the front row completely before they can start moving my dudes around.

I love seeing people play dark assassins because I know that they're pinning their hopes and dreams on it. Then you just put an elephant in front of it and they get depressed.

Sandy. Drop two. Aww yeah.
