This seems...interesting.  But what of those with negative score?  :P

(Note:  I don't have negative score myself, sitting somewhere around 1600 at this moment.  But I might start grinding AI5/FG's sooner or later, and my score will plummet when that happens, I guarantee it.)

Interesting how we were just talking about no new updates, pretty much perfect timing to build hype and such.

The level boundaries seem a little low, but obviously, us being forumers and the "elite", we probably have a different view to the casual players of the game.
I'm a level 51-3 ish, and I have been playing since the game came out on Kong, I have never really put in any grinding sessions, used good decks, or anything putting me into the Gold Category, but I'll accept, and like to think that I deserve it.

Like always, it looks awesome. I think its a great step for PvE, essentially constantly refreshing new competitive and varied decks, and probably won't need to be updated as much as FGs/AI3s ect would, and will add something else to that daily oracle spin which I love so much.

One idea that could help balance the rewards for T500 would be to have the reward increase based not only on a deck's league, but also on the deck's current place within the 500 steps of that league. Since decks start in the middle of the ladder, decks in that area would give moderate rewards (similar to what the current t50 gives), while a deck that had made it to the top 100 or so would give significant rewards, to balance out the fact that it is most likely a very difficult deck to beat.

As in, decks that are built such that the AI knows how to play them well will do better, right?
Yes. In fact, it will be the biggest factor of all. Building decks for the AI will become a new art form. Adapting to its limits and when it gets updated will be fun, especially for those who have more technical knowledge of how it works.

Also, if you spin the oracle again do you have to build a new deck?
Yes.

The deck you submit to T500 will have to contain copies of the card that the Oracle picked for the day. 5 copies, to be precise.

Dang you zanz, another pill for my addiction...
(I'm incredibly looking forward to this :) )

I'm currently a the top of the Gold League, 1500 points away from the Platinum.
Now, if I get that 1500 socore, do I risk that I may end up left out from the whole show, cause my score is not enough for the 500th place in Platinum, but it is too much for Gold?

No idea to be honest Acsabi. ^^; I'm sure you'll be put in the ranking somewhere in Platinum, as there aren't that many people that are level 60 and above...

That said, the development of this is truly enticing. :) Thanks again Zanz for the small update; I wonder who can make the level 80 beat-you-on-the-first-turn deck first? XD

As far as I know, there aren't 500+ people with a score like that.

well based on the fact that t50 starts somewhere at 250k, I  bet that there are atleast 500 players with 90-100k+ score.... that would mean there's a gap between 89500 and ~100k, and the players there are left out... same for the other leagues too.

Can a player with a high score (e.g. lvl 40) generate decks for lower leagues (e.g. Bronze)?

All submitted decks will start out in the middle of their league. (I'm not certain whether there are 500 or 500/4=125 players in each league, I guess the latter) So when you submit your deck it will be ranked in the middle (250 or 63) and it will be moved based on how well it performs against players and not based on your score. So with just barely making it to the platinum level you can (theoretically) get to the top stop of the T500. However score is important for improving your deck, how many extras (higher HP, extra draws, number of upgrades, etc) will depend on your level and on your score. So being on the bottom of your league will have some disadvantage, since others can pack more upgrades and better decks, but you will not be out because of the score.

After thinking:
-It'll be interesting how trainer will be adjusted, since you have no score there.
-I really hope there won't be a couple killer decks in Platinum league. FGs are nerfed, but now players have no intention of doing it, so really really strong decks can be created. What I hope is that not all players will copy the same handful of decks, which are the most successful.....
