Newbie needs help (Magic the Puzzling)

by **neon1300** » 13 Feb 2011, 11:52

Hi all,

I was doing the Magic The Puzzling. In round 2, I started with 0 life (Is this normal?) and I finished my opponent with

spoiler | Open: fireblast + fork

. The round was a tie(both with 0 life) but I still moved to round 3. And in round 3, I started with 0 life again and lost the game instantly. I am not sure is this a bug or not, maybe I was doing it wrong... Guys, I need help! :oops:

Thanks

Edit by Salbei - do not post "solutions" for that particular Challenge please.It would be the same as if you´ve posted a cheat.

Did you restart the game after your previous loss?

yer, I restarted the software few times already, and is it normal to have 0 life in round2?

Don´t forget to set that stopper in your upkeep.
It is even mentioned at the beginning of the Challenge.
100% sure you forgot that, jumped to your first main phase and lost the challenge because you didn´t set that stopper.You have to win BEFORE your drawstep.

And please do not post the Solutions for this particular Challenge here.

How to set a stopper:
1. Rightclick the phase you want to always stop.
2. Leftclick "Mark this phase to always stop".

For this Challenge you need a stopper in your upkeep phase.

Thank you Salbei!
I finally be able to play the round 3. However, I faced another problem in round 3.
The opponent's life is supposed to be 8, but he is having 20 instead. >.<

*Hint*
Bringing the Opponent down to 0 life is not the only way to win a game.
