Oh man, your game probably is corrupted, he is triggering the 5:1 odds in the middle of your challenge... i sugest you to backup your "FACES" folder and reinsall manalink2.0...
LandHo! is about lucky and know when to muligan, since you will keep your hand size(1draw and 1drop) i always look for tabernacle and factories + wastelands.... there are a lot of LandHo! decks in this forum, ask and look witch one you feel more confortable...

Has anyone tried this challenge out yet? It took me 4 attempts to get it, but once I found the right deck, it wasn't too difficult.

I haven't really tried this one yet - I still have some others to accomplish first. In particular I still have 5:1 odds that I really want to beat. Of course I am trying to beat all challenges without assistance and compare my notes after I have them all completed.
I did the Magic the Puzzling one and liked it FWIW.

I haven't had time to do anything Magic related for the last few weeks, but this sounds interesting... What exactly is the catch with this challenge? I'll take a look at it later today.

I didn't play challenges for a while since I play tournaments so the cards are unlocked and I unlocked all the ones I wanted, but I have a question. If I win the challenge with the tournament patch will the card stay unlocked after the update that is not patched, if so then I might play the challenges. I started this challenge with a random deck out of curiosity and it looks brilliant, really a great idea.

You cannot unlock cards with tournament patches, since the game think they are already unlocked.

Then I'll make a copy of my magic folder when the next update comes so I could play the challenges and make a separate copy for the tournament.

I beat this challenge today (I'm on a roll!). It took me more than 4 tries to come up with a deck that worked, probably more like 10-15 tries. I think there are probably a number of viable solutions to this challenge. If Jatill wants me to post my list I will put it here.

OK I'm officially giving up on the sliver direction in this one- so far your deck seems to work pretty well bla

Finally got it! The idea of mixing oath and reanimation was definitely brilliant. The real pain points for me was always counter-sliver and GWu Artifacts. In those situations I just have to go directly to plan B, Iona

Go ahead and post it. I'm curious if it was similar to my own list, which focused on the GGG casting cost.
