Are you using a tournament version? Challenges can't be unlocked in those. Also, are you letting the 1st turn of the 11th round finish?
The final thing to try would be to close and re-open manalink whenever you start a challenge.

I got Mok's 2.0 from the installation Wiki, and ran the 20101001.zip update on it. Is that a tournament version? I also installed CirothUngol's 20100109 installer, which I haven't yet updated. I haven't tried playing the challenges from the 20100109 version yet, I just installed that today.
Thanks for your help.

You are allowed to use 4 cards that do not steal permanents. Be sure to check out the Wiki for challenge mode rule details. The mono-red matchup can be hard, but I promise you that it can be beaten with a Gimme deck. I actually just defeated this challenge today and mono-red was one of the opponents in my gauntlet.Broolex wrote:Well, I still hadn't beated gimme!
It is impossible to win against creatureless Mono Red with a deck that only controls other players creatures...
But Manalink is a great game and Jatill is doing a excellent work, so I have to be ok with the fact that my Faeries won't have Sower of Temptation in the near future!

The version on the wiki is always the right version, so you should be good on that front.doctormac wrote:I got Mok's 2.0 from the installation Wiki, and ran the 20101001.zip update on it.

Yea, the challenges are a real bitch!
I've actually won a couple(using Salbei's decks), but it 'taint easy. The pre-assembled 20100109 version is for people who can't get an update running (non-WinXP OS, etc.) and for those who wish to play Duels and Gauntlet with old decks (as it's just about the last version before the ousting of old/standard cards to make room for new inclusions). If Challenge is yer thing, use the latest update and save the pre-assembled version for Old-Skool Gauntleters... like me!
