Four player duels?

[maverixk]

Ok, so I'm not sure really how this would work, but I had this idea, what if four people dueled each other, 2v2? It would use a die to decide the play order, or a coin for the side that goes first, and then another coin. The field of play for permanents and creatures would be expanded, as well as maybe giving both players a weapon&shield slot. Health may or may not be combined, to avoid targeting confusion. The allies can see each other's hands and chat in private.
I'm not sure about many details other than stated here, so...yeah.

2v2 wouldn't be very fun for a turn-based strategy game, because one player could tell the other player what to play. There would also be more desyncs. You might be able to make a good 2-player-team PvP Event, though.

[maverixk]

Yeah, desyncs would be a problem. But I think it would only lose its fun-value(look at me, makin' up words) if one player tells the other what to play.

EtG is not interactive enough (yet?) for team games IMO.

Agreed, but... we can dream, right?

I'd actually like to see four-player every-man-for-himself (1v1v1v1), but I might be biased by happy multiplayer memories from one of my favorite "real life" CCGs.

I like both ideas, 2v2 and 4 for all.

[NikaZaslavsky]

I like the idea of 2v2 and 1v1v1v1.

Seems like it would it fun... be a nice new feature to twist this game
