Just played man panda. He immediately cast 3 PPs and a Carnevale. I gave him the game (I had a bad hand but was going to play it out as always, but that was a bit much).

I am glad somebody else brought his name up. I've have ran across him a bunch of times and every single game he does something ridiculous like that to me. I have never had a chance. I am new to this game but spent enough money on the cards and used to be pretty decent with MTG to keep me pretty competitive in this. Even against some of the more veteran players in here I have had my share of wins or at least had a chance. If he really is that good then I would love to see him on here. But every time I have played him it was so bad I seriously think that may be some secret dev account messing with us. |

Yeah, he has good hands but I think he just has good decks. I have beaten him before. Pity he isn't on the forum.

I've beaten him before as well, although he has always played good decks. He is top 40 in xp, meaning he's played plenty. I just posted thy one because the odds or 3 PP and a game ending 10 cost memory aren't that high. Carnevale cast immediately was pretty much game ending against my hand/deck.

Glad to hear you guys have at least beaten him. Maybe I have had just had bad luck every time, because I always see him have highly improbable opening hands. He may beat me right now anyway till I get a little better with the nuances of this game. But I would at least like a fighting chance.

I've seen a lot more people playing Carneval recently. It always screws me up, especially when it's early. I've also had horrible starting hands as of late, though. Part of that is trying new decks and experimenting, but even with my Noble deck that I'm pretty solid with I keep drawing all of my higher costing cards first. Dunno what I'm doing wrong, but oh well.
Anyway, yeah...Carneval is a cool card when it doesn't get neutralized.

It's fairly easy to show-off with first turn winners based on PP as long as you quit when you do not have these winners in your first (or mulligan-ed) hand. It works in the current format, but doesn't in a real tournament where every hand counts.
I think there are players out there that do this, hence the amount of free victories I get.

True Roebi. I've been matched up 2-3 times in a row against people looking for the optimal hand and quitting if they don't get it.

I had a first-turn cesare the other day. The weird thing is that the opponent quit even though they used a sudden exhaustion on him and I was out of useful cards (having used half my hand to play him).

That sounds like a crash, not a quit. This game isn't stable yet.

I think I've played him a couple of times before - the first one was a loss but the 2nd one was a win by comboing Carnevale with Man of the People.
But 3 PPs and Carneval in a starting hand is an extremely lucky hand.

That hand is stupid lucky. I hve played/beaten him before but he does have good decks. Seems like they all depend on comboing though, at least the few I've played. I just posted a few days ago about a similar game in P2P chat lol. It happens though, not their fault...those bastards  |

Yep, it really is lucky. That's the thing with combo decks - the people they work against will be impressed. Those who don't see the combo for whatever reason will probably find the deck weak. It's a risky strategy, but someone has to be on the receiving end when it works.
