I'm sad.
I got a mutant with Deja Vu and it doesn't make another mutant ability anymore.

Awww Really? I'll be sad for that too.

Any info on the changes in 1.283 which is live now?

you AM a pufferfish and it still gives you poison counters...

[ddevans96]

It's always done that.

It's the same with scorpions too, you know?

Yeah, it seems "succesfull attak" means "hit or heal". have never tried with a 0 attak, but it seems it doesnt poison (as when u have a shield)

0 attack dose not work, I can tell you this now so you can save some time.
I had to anti-matter one of my own guys once to build enough poison to win a match once. Crazy world.

Am I missing something or was this update just to slow down money and card acquisition?  I guess I don't understand as those of us who don't play this as a job weren't exactly racing into the top 50.

It was meant to do 2 things.

1. fix the fact that t50 had turned into little more than a collection of farms(which it was never meant to be) and copies of the same 2-3 real decks

2. Add a new and more challenging level, especially for the most serious players in Platinum.

As for slowing anything down, I'd say it's done just the opposite.  With even a fairly low win % you can make a lot of money in gold or platinum(haven't played the lower levels as much but heard even silver is good for this)

Nope.  I stand by my previous statement.  All this has done is make sure those of us who don't do this for a job, and hence don't have 12 of each card, are relegated to T3 or the occasional foray into T4 or LG.  Even the "Silver" decks are smashing decks.  And if you're a casual player you will lose far, far more than you will win.  I never realized that I would be relegated to playing only against the AI rather than interesting or fun decks, but that unfortunately seems to be what us casuals will now have to do.

Or move on, I guess.

I don't think pvp and pvp2 have changed.  If you were playing anything else (T50 included), you were playing the AI.

Also if you are as casual a player as you make yourself out to be, then T50 -> T500 shouldn't have made much difference, even if T500 did slow things down.  From my own experience, I would say that you have to dedicate some time to this game to really get somewhere.  I would compare it to those first-person console games.  There's a long storyline you have to complete, and it takes time.  Once that is done, then you can casually find other power-ups, secrets, etc.  For elements, that 'long storyline' would be taking some time to grind for cards.  once you have a decent amount of electrum and cards, then you can switch to casual play.

You don't need upped cards to do well in T500, or any other form of pvp, asynchronous or otherwise.  You could do ok with a good unupped deck against PvP2, in fact.  It's not about "having 12 of every card," it's about having at the very least a decent arsenal of unupped cards (very quick to grind that, trust me), and knowing enough about the game and the strategy to play well.

For False Gods, unless you play a perfect counter you will need upped cards... but they get twice the draws and a 3x mark for free.  No PvP opponent gets that.

[BluePriest]

Also, arena is still new. It took a while to find a good unupped t50 farmer, and it wil take some time to find a good t500 farmer. So far for silver, grabbix seems to be doing good. We will jsut need to give it some time.
