Collectible Card Game Headquarters

Thanks, I just posted on their forum about the article, right before you comment.

He must be a glutton for punishment.

I have never gone with a 60 card deck in quest mode. I keep it at 40 and have only played a three color deck when I had a really good three color gold card.

He says

Quest is the most fun I’ve had playing Magic in a year.

Awesome!

BTW, is there a minimum sized deck you must use in quest mode? That confuses me.

Pretty cool, I hope the guy didn't run into too many bugs

And Huggy, nope, there's no minimum size enforced. Actually, if you run out of cards in your deck currently you don't even lose

Real men play 60 cards.

I intended players to just use 40 card decks similar to sealed deck or draft but people can play using as many (or few) cards as they want to. I try to not put any restrictions on deck size or compisition (you can include more than 4 copies of a card).

Truthfully I had to just guess at everything. How many cards should a player start with? How many cards does a player win? When should a player win cards? What to do at the end? These questions are game balancing questions which don't have any real answers.

I haven't played the quest mode, but I too would have assumed to build a 40 card deck at least at first. Maybe over the course of an extended quest building up to a 60 card deck might be a possibility.

Since I always play hard mode, this is the way I play it. I start with 40 cards, adding cards to my deck when I win them, 'till I'm at 60 cards.
