Yeah, it's just youthedrigo wrote:Am I the only dumbass who hasnt been able to beat Dude yet? My deck is obviously Elves but I keep getting run down by Soldiers and Zombies. I added two copies of Gaddock Teeg to beat TurboFog (worked like a charm) and two Platinum Angel s as fillers but I keep getting my ass handed to me.
Any suggestions?
I use all 4 Gaddocks. But the most important card in the deck is Wirewood Symbiote, especially for blocking then bouncing. There are 20 different decks you might get paired against, so it's possible to just avoid your bad matchups the whole time.

Hahaha... Dammit.
I mean, when I first heard about the challenge I instantly thought of Elves because, clearly, there aren't any viable mana-producing Goblins, for example.
Strangely enough, I built my deck and was gonna post it just as Awww posted his and the only cards that were different were the 2 copies of Gaddock Teeg instead of 2 of his Platinum Angel s... Crazy!
It'd be pretty awesome to have Bloodbraid Elf for this challenge, though. Talk about necessary card advantage!
20 decks... hmmm. So luck does play into it? GRRR...
I couldn't even tell you guys how many times I've died on round 10 against Swamp, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Sarcomancy, Carnophage, Lord of the Undead, Turn 1 Goblin Lackey, Turn 2 Siege-Gang Commander or Turn 1 Goldmeadow Stalwart, Turn 2 Wizened Cenn, Turn 3 Figure of Destiny + Honor of the Pure.
And Jatill, you are absolutely right: Wirewood Symbiote is a CHAMP here.

I just remembered I still never did that stupid Land Ho! challenge... I don't think we've gotten any new lands except 5 more fetchlands in the meantime, either. Land Ho! makes giving the AI 10 strip mines look easy.
edit: Yup, 5 more fetchlands, and Oran-Reef, the Vastwood, which won't do anything except pump Dryad Arbor.

For example, on the challenge selection screen, they could have asterisk next to name.

BTW, are the completed challenges movable between computers? If I just copy the installation, will I have to do the challenges again?jatill wrote:The next version has this.Marek14 wrote:I'll call, once again, for a simple way to tell which challenges are actually completed.

If you copy c:\magic and all subfolders, you will not have to redo challenges.Marek14 wrote:BTW, are the completed challenges movable between computers?

Finally got that's big with a modified version of
.1521 4 Font of Mythos
.132 4 Juggernaut
.1308 4 Platinum Angel
.529 4 Su-Chi
.510 4 Mishra's Workshop
.541 4 Urza's Mine
.543 4 Urza's Power Plant
.544 4 Urza's Tower
.1906 4 Sundering Titan
.1548 4 Myr Enforcer
.508 4 Mishra's Factory
.1710 4 Ancient Tomb
.1106 4 Patagia Golem
.1112 4 Phyrexian Hulk
.1888 2 City of Traitors
.1709 2 Temple of the False God
Out 4 Patagia Golem /4 Font of Mythos /2 Ancient Tomb
In 4 Masticore /4 Nevinyrral's Disk /2 Temple of the False God
Yeah I have no problem abusing temple not working 100% right to finally beat this challenge.
Played a ton more like control, vs all agro decks a 2nd turn disk just wins and Masticore is always strong. Made it to round 7-9 the first 3 tries before just horrid draws and won the 4th try.

It always gives the 2 mana, 5 lands or not. If you don't have 5 lands it doesn't cast spells by double clicking on them but spells still light up to cast and you just manually click it for your 2 mana.jatill wrote:How does temple not work right?
I'm pretty sure I have the latest everything, just reinstalled it all a few days ago.
Edit: Sorry for not throwing it in the bug thread, I just assumed it was already there.

Donate the Illusions of Grandeur as usual. Donating Lich will instantly kill you :p (Though, with the older rules, you could theoretically donate Lich, then destroy it, and win the game at 0 life, but this is harder to do than just donating the illusions)
