Collectible Card Game Headquarters

It looks funny and with real MtG-cards it would be funny but playing it with the computer is turbo annoying .

Yeah, I soon found that to be the case.

Hehe, that is exactly why I play creature based decks more in Manalink over control decks or combo decks with long turns. It drives me bonkers to take five minutes to do in manalink what would take five seconds in real life.

Hey, Soma. Long time since I've seen you around.
One question, man, how the HELL did you beat the last round? My deck is *very* similar to yours (I splashed some green in for Watchwolf and added Savannah s and Teremko Griffin s for lategame support), but I keep getting my ass handed to me...
Any pointers?

Hey, thedrigo Yeah the last round is pretty tough. I had to play it a couple of times. Each time I opened up with a bit of damage early (about 10ish with flyers) until the AI stabilized. After that, it is really about relying on banding creatures to get you through, especially the flying ones. The AI will tend not to block a Leonin Skyhunter + Mesa Pegasus band with Wild Griffin, for example. It gets tricky when the AI gets banders of it's own though. I won when we were just sitting back amassing armies, when the AI made a crazy attack into my team that decimated his board and tapped all his blockers to do me about 5 damage and make me lose a couple of creatures like Elite Vanguards and such that weren't of much consequence.

Probably not too helpful, but that's my 2c

This is the deck I used for the EDH Challenge (it's pretty similar to the one I posted for the second run through the Singleton Challenge in set #2):

I really liked this deck cuz it allowed for lots of tutoring to hose the opponent. Took like 2 tries, after a couple crashes in round nine, but it worked!

I just beat Life's a lich with this:

this deck/challenge was alota fun, only problems i had were with 1st turn bolt, or not discarding the disenchants/qualsi etc... in time. Best chance is if you know its one of those decks to spit out your Pox asap.

I really wanted to beat it with something besides S. My toughest squeeker was prolly round 5 against fish deck, I got lucky.

Heh, I like the B deck Nice selection of lands available on that one. (Where's Blightning, though? :p) Strange how badlands, blood crypt AND bloodstained mire are all B/R lands and all start with B. I did S, myself (I think most people did) though my first instinct was M for mox/mountain, until I saw how poor red M cards are.

The lich one looks very similar to what I did, except I don't think I was smart enough to include Pox. The other thing I thought about for the lich challenge (but didn't do, since the black deck worked first try) was a white lifegain deck. Imagine Kitchen Finks reading 'draw 2 cards' or 4x white ancestral recalls in the form of Healing Salve...

Yes, reading your one post inspired me to try out B.
I had blighting in at first but removed it, that and 1 bloodchief acension and blights,blazing specter but didnt work for me, shame cause I love discarding and destroying.

Think I tried the drain lifeing once in Lich and didnt get cards from it for some reason, so never attempted the white route on that one.

beat challenge challenge with this:

.636 4 Might of Alara
.644 4 Sower of Temptation

got lucky, really need gemstone mine in there.

I just beat life's a lich again, With Isochron R/W. It dominates near all of the decks on the list. This is the second time in a row it has played through in one try.

Decklist posted on page 5.

Almost every challenge done, including "enchanted" but...

This is one of the 2 cards with ??? as the reward. We all know Pit Scorpion is the ??? reward for "pit fighting"

My question is then, what does the ??? of Enchanted unlock, if anything ?

Last round of EDH challenge was a very nice touch.
