Game Suggestions and Feedback / Seeing my arena decks cards during a test

« on: September 10, 2011, 05:49:28 pm »

I would like the option of seeing the cards my deck is holding when I play a test game against it in the Arena.  If I know what it's holding onto I'll know if it's holding it because it's some type of CC or PC that it can't play against me because I haven't played any creatures or permanents yet or it it's holding onto it because it can't afford to play it.  It it's the latter I would know to get rid of the card or somehow give the deck a quanta boost.

Basically it comes down to having more knowlege about how the deck works and being able to adjust it accordingly.

When web takes away the airborne skill shouldn't it also take the dive ability?

So did this change become final?

I noticed yesterday Osiris has some Trebuchets.  He was a ridiculously easy win with CCYB, but now he throws all his Scarabs at you and gets past the Permafrost.  You have to draw a Pulvy early to survive.

The ball thing is a horrible way to put it... Plenty dont have balls. Like track.... ok so I cant think of anything outside of track right now but still...

Hockey, wrestling, weight lifting, log throwing, boxing, fencing, swimming, diving, badminton, cheerleading....

Haha, the last one is a joke.  It belongs with chess in the "not a sport" category.

The above deck is basically the deck Plastique posted in the old AI3 challenge thread.  I only made a few modifications.  I know the Sparks could be upgraded but since they're usually cremated immediately I didn't think that would add much.  It wins pretty quickly.  Matches don't usually last more than 6 turns.

Here's my question.  About a month ago I was out rushed by someone on Kong.  He didn't use shields or creature control.  He just flat out rushed me three times in a row.  I don't think he just got lucky.  He powered the deck with nova and flew a bunch of Hammers.  I was dead before I knew it.

I can't seem to replicate the deck in the trainer.  Anyone know a deck like that?

General Discussion / Aflatoxin on a malignant cell doesn't save it?

« on: October 14, 2010, 11:23:57 pm »

I thought I had a great idea to fill my side up with Malignant Cells, drop a Chimera, repeat...

Problem is my opponent plagued all my cells before they filled my side and I couldn't afford to play a Chimera yet.  I played Aflatoxin on one of the plagued cells thinking it would die and turn into another cell, but it just died.  Shouldn't that have worked?  Is it bugged?

I've seen really really big beetles, so those are not that surprising, and I know those giant tarantulas for a while now too; but that cricket in the OP is just too friggin big! I wonder if it got targeted by fallen druid. I've seen way too many crickets, I've caught like some 30 different species and I've never seen one anywhere close to this big..... I wonder if that photo is photoshopped. Or else maybe Drawckab has really small hands. And where do you live? Near the equator? Because only in those areas do bugs get really big since they don't have winter.

Hell no!  I wouldn't hold that thing.  I found it on the all knowing internet.

LOL.  Every comment by Harry is about grilling something.  So, when's supper?  I can't wait to bite down a deliciously juicy grilled giant beetle!

Sports / Not a Sport.

« on: September 11, 2010, 07:38:25 am »

Chess a sport?  Ha!  Shouldn't this be in "Humor"?

Chess is a game.  If you want chess to be a sport you have to play it like this:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_boxing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_boxing)

   Ahhh!!!!  Look at this monster!!!!

I have crickets making noise and keeping me up at night so I was searching for a way to get rid of them and I came across this:



Yes, this is real.  It's apparently called a Giant Weta.

Rainbow Decks / Re: but

« on: August 17, 2010, 12:02:22 am »

I think this deck needs quintessence
Rewind or Reverse Time will be critical

No need. The Chimera will kill them the turn it's played. If it didn't, then they have a lot of healing, killed too many of your dragons, buffed their health with SoD/Stone Skin, or you played too few dragons. Try to play enough to deal more than half of their HP in damage in one turn.

If the dragons can deal more than half their HP in damage in one turn why can't they just pull off the kill in the second turn?  Why the Chimera?

Maybe I'm missing something, but the card doesn't seem that useful to me in any deck.
