Collectible Card Game Headquarters

I have one card worth 35000, a couple more in the 8000 range and some other high priced lovelies. Probably the biggest contributor to my losses has been deck size. I can't quite seem to trim it to a reasonable level. The red deck is currently sitting at something like 120 card with 42 of them being land. The SliverQuest deck is right around 60, but it isn't anywhere near complete yet. I'm not in front of my computer right now, so I can't post deck lists... I'll be able to do that tomorrow. I want to play with Anger in the red deck, but it slows it down too much.

It is more of a loophole really but if you manage to mill an A.I. deck on turn one or turn two with, say, Brain Freeze or Hedron Crab you will get mostly land which really cramps a lot of the early deck's style and even outright destroys some of them. Just a small tip.

After getting treasury, Wall and Pet, I focus on upgrading via cheap cards, selling anything not in my three colors.
Before I even played a game i had a 1/1 Pet, 0/1 Wall, upgraded treasury, and sold off any off-color, or useless cards. In the first 5-10 games or so, I try to upgrade the Pet to 2/2 as soon as I can and when I accumulate enough money get more in treasury.

I'm currently 42-0. Have Max Wolf, no Croc, 0/3 Wall, no Health Potions, Max treasury, 1 Library (just bought).

The wolf has come in real handy. I got my first Mox (a ruby) as a random rare not too long ago. I'm wondering how often new quests show up, though, since I've beaten the first 3 or 4 and am waiting for the next one to open up. I'm now running my still-evolving sliver deck.

It is a simple way to make the computer play a harder game against us but it is very week against the type of mill decks that you mention. Our dev team should consider having this check box set to off. I do not think that having it on is really needed for the quest mode.
