Not sure if you're on here, but it was awesome playing you. You had a deck almost identical to mine, so it felt like a great, even match and was super refreshing since I've been playing against a lot of decks that have all the monster cards I'm still working on getting. Not that the players behind those decks aren't good (this is aimed at tortimer, who I threw in the towel to in back to back matches...sorry, I've been a bit frustrated at myself with how poorly I've been doing in this and other card games so my tolerance for being creamed, even rightfully so like in both matches against you, has fallen through the floor). It's just nice to have an even match every once in a while. Losing doesn't feel quite as bad that way for some reason. And it's a good way to learn, since it gives an opponent's point of view of the deck/play style. So if you're on here, thanks oldmanin! And because I know you're on here, sorry tortimer.  I'm sue I came across as a bad sport...because I was really being one that day. |

Which other card games are you playing tuna? And also I'm sure all you did was quit ahead of end game, which is really ok if you're conceding. We all have losses that we don't need to sit through to the end for  |

Magic the Gathering 2012 on Xbox and a bit of Shadow Era. My brother (we both got MtG on Xbox to play against each other...I would say I conned him into it, but he didn't have to have his arm twisted that much, lol) unlocked all the decks in the game and I had only unlocked 2 the last time we played. The first time we played, neither of us had unlocked any decks and I was actually able to win a few. The second time, he decided to "show me some of the other decks" lol and I was just creamed. It wasn't very fun. But I also was frustrated with how I was playing in ACR, so that didn't help.
And I was having a hard time in Shadow Era, but after (finally) reading a bit more, I found out the initial hero I chose wasn't a very good one. And I wasn't able to win against the AI/didn't have enough cards to play MP, so I wasn't able to earn any gems in order to get a neew deck. *crosses eyes* I finally just signed up for Tapjoy to get the gems...didn't really want to because I'm always worried about spam/hackers, but oh well.
I think it would've been a day or two before I lost (at least) when I quit out of one of those games, but I knew I was going to lose. I actually didn't even play enough to get all 500 of my credits a few days ago because of how frustrated I've been at myself. I'm a bit bored with playing the same decks over and over, so I've tried building some new/different decks to keep the game fresh. The news ones weren't generally working, which was kinda frustrating. But I am limited on cards so there's only so much I can do. And I'm really unsure of how to spend my credits...I've been buying booster packs because of that, figuring I'd sell the ones I get extra off to balance the spending out and possibly come up with a direction I want to go. There are certainly enough cards I need extras of that a booster isn't necessarily a bad idea. But since I'm always second guessing myself, I don't know that that's the best idea necessarily. But oh well, I guess.

Why don't you post one of your decks here man? We will try to help you the best we can knowing you have a limited selection of cards. My advice would to def buy Templar packs to start do awhile, but use the Market to buy those pesky commons/uncommonly that you don't have 5 that to want/need. 500 credits will buy you a lot yo don't have to have Assassin cards to win Post a deck and let us give some feedback. The community here is very helpful/knowledgable. |

No problem and glad you had a good match with Oldmanin. I might have just had a real good starting hand. For me it seems I have a great or terrible starting hand. I hardly ever just get a average starting hand for some reason.

@jmeredith06, I have posted my decks. A few times, actually, lol. I have one of each Templar memory already (though certainly only one of some rare Templar cards) and have already started working on getting Assassin cards. I've contemplated just working on getting 5 of each Templar card until I have 5 of each, but I've also been just contemplating continuing to buy 1 Templar pack and 1 Assassin pack every other day. Right now I have 900 credits and I'm considering buying a bunch of Templar packs, because it was kinda nice getting a bunch of cards yesterday (I bought 4 Templar packs because I had 800 credits, lol). But my original plan was to buy an Assassin pack. The only reason I'm thinking about the Templar packs is because I got an extra Lanz yesterday...and putting it on the market for 400 is kinda cool.  May not sell for a while (if at all, given the amount of people who are selling him around 300...I may change the price), but it is kinda cool being able to do that. I'm still not sure, though, because I may not get any cards worth selling at all. About a week ago (maybe 2 weeks, I can't remember) I was sitting on 2000 credits because I couldn't decide...that's when I started buying packs again. Hey, that gives me an idea. If I post up a spreadsheet of all the cards I currently have (I mean a link to one), could you all look at it and give your opinions on where I should be spending my credits? That may actually REALLY help me and my apparent wishy-washiness, lol. |

tortimer, seems like I've been having that a lot also, lol. Or I think I have an average starting hand, but the next several draws more than prove how much the starting hand actually sucks. You were playing a really good thief deck and kept bringing out the thief that kills another agent...and I ran out of Court Orders/neutralize launching agent cards. And you had a bunch of La Volpes. Whereas I was playing my wimpy piecemeal attempt at a kind of thief rush or Magnetic Antonio (got the idea from someone on these forums...can't remember who said it, but it does somewhat OK) rush kinda deck. I have 4-5 of each Templar thief memory (except 1 I think) and have gained some of the common Assassin ones from a lot of you. Well, actually a lot of the common Assassin ones from you guys. So I've put together a wimpy rush deck using what I have and it sometimes works, but facing Ezios and La Volpes, I'm pretty screwed. Even facing a good site deck, I'm screwed, but that even happens with my Noble rush deck. *shrugs* Speaking of which, I've also been wanting to create a good site deck, but fail all the time. It seems like I've used most of the same cards as rush site decks I've lost against, but I ALWAYS seem to lose when I try to play the same kind of deck. So I've also been wondering if I should focus on buying some sites...adding to my lack of direction on where to soend my credits. *crosses eyes* I think I'm going nuts, lol.
