I will play some Blizzard: The Activisioning.

I'd love to take part, but not willing to sit on my PC to do so. Wish they'd just hurry up and release it so I can grab it on ios.

I do love a good ios card battler thingy, so I am looking forward to this coming out on the ipad.
Might and Magic had the potential on ios to be a really good one but the game is deeply fucked when it comes to the singleplayer campaign difficulty and it is heavily skewed towards in app purchases as you hit a wall very quickly and need to fork out cash to progress (or I do anyway coz i'm crap) or grind the multiplayer which I can't be arsed to do.

I don't mind paying cash for a good TCG tbh. After all, real trading card games require you to spend cash to get more and better cards, so the same should apply to virtual ones as well so it can offer a similar experience. Thing that's stopped me from splurging on an existing one is knowing if there's a player base on it.

It's a bit like buying virtual hats instead of real hats, that's what I don't like.

Why is this good, Nexx? I trust your opinions on competitive games 'cos even though you're not hot when it comes to strategy you do talk a good game. Skimmed through that vid and it seemed quite interesting. How much room is there to customise your deck?

Nope. Because then there's an option not to buy! You can craft cards with dust that you aquire from disenchanting duplicates of cards you already own. But building up enough dust for the rarer cards takes a long old while.

Tiger the deck building is entirely up to you. There are class specific cards that only that class can use and a much larger selection of neutral ones. You can have a maximum of 2 of any card on your deck, apart from Legendaries.

I, like Rouj, mullered this in closed beta, spent a frightening amount of cash to boot. The game is great, but they need to balance it more, as the man said above, Mage and Priest decks are fairly easy to destroy with and the other classes can gave a horrible time dealing with them. (Oh ha I Warrior)

The last list of changes didnt give me much confidence really and I've dropped out ifcplayibg recently, I'll try and add you new folk this weekend. There's a phenomenal game here, just needs time.

Flicking through some of the artwork, there's an image or two that comes straight from the Warcraft TCG they did a while back. One with actual cardboard cards, mind. I loved it, was much better than MtG (you could never get screwed for quests (lands) because any card could be played face down as a quest.) The problem was finding other people to play with. I'm not even sure if it still exists at this point.

I reckon this might satisfy the same itch, but then I'll probably end up bankrupt and with a kick ass collection of virtual cards. For the sake of my sanity and bank balance I should probably avoid this.

I can't seem to get going in this. I often end up with no cards on the table and then just get pounded.

I do like the idea though and will give it a good go. Shall we put battle.net numbers in the OP?

So I'm having a fair bit of fun with the standard Mage deck. Someone mentioned Priest but should I be avoiding some for any reason? Might disenchant the suff I got for specific decks to get some dust.

Priest and mage right now are probably the most powerful classes. Probably the best decks for people to play while they get used to the game and learning how each of the classes fight as priest has the most control over the opponent and mages have the highest direct damage, so you can counter or avoid a lot of stuff that other players might throw at you if you get in a pinch.

If you have balls of steel and are a manly manly man then you should roll Warrior decks all day. Even though warrior is definitely the weakest class in pretty much every match apart from mages as although warriors have almost no board clearing stuff, mages tend not to throw out a lot of minions and rely on their spells for damage. Nothing is as satisfying as a decent win with the warrior deck, however you will usually end up seeing way more losses than wins, particularly as the current meta game seems to be herp derp rushdown bullshit, as most players have figured out, RNG has a pretty big effect on some matches and some decks, particularly late game decks that stall the opponent for as long as possible. Going full retard and swamping the board with loads of shitty shit is a pretty effective way of getting around this.

I tend to blow hot and cold with the game, I really like the overall mechanics and all the strategy, but I tend to play for a few days and then get pissed off at it and leave it for a few weeks.

Save it for arena, you get at leat one pack plus gold or dust regardless even if you lose all your games.

Arena is also good at forcing you to adapt to different decks and cards.

How do you get the 20 to play Molten Giant?

Works nicely in a warrior deck as most warriors opt to clear the board with their weapons and leave minions to go for the face, so you can pretty easily whittle down your health far enough to get it played in most matches.

I downloaded this last night, mainly because I miss Subba

You're so dreamy.

Went to download this a few days ago, but found I couldn't remember my battle.net details and promptly gave up.

My greater bog-rat beats your lesser bog-rat.

I had fun a few days ago practicing with Tempy till I unlocked all the basic decks. I like Shaman most even though totems are unreliable compared to the other class abilities. Windfury can fuck shit up.
