And... I'm back!

[Baracus]

I'd slightly forgotten what a brilliantly made game this is!
I had just started playing the trial of Magic 2013 iPad and the notification came up about ACR update! Good timing or what... So I came back for a play and have to say I've really gotten into it again!

I'm not sure if it's just because I am more comfortable with ACR mechanics and game, but I think it's a much more interesting and varied game than Magic although admittedly I have only seen about half of the content of the 3 decks you get without unlocking the full Magic download (which I might do anyway... Cheap compare to this!).
It's nice and all, also a great UI but I think ACR uses the screen better where Magic is trying to mimic 1st person. I just wish ACR had the same pricing model!

I just worked out that, with current AH prices, I'd need about 150k to get 5 of everything as I still got some Renaissance incomplete still. I can't justify another £140 so I'm just gonna grind away 1 colour at a time I suppose coz that's just crazy!

Another great iPad game I've been playing recently is Autumn Dynasty... Really nicely intricate and finely balanced but simple and punchy little RTS with wonderful controls for touch screen. www.autumndynasty.com/

Oh and it mentions the next expansion pack already, and says it will be the American Revolution one... I really can't see how this is going to fit with the current era?! Sounds a bit odd to me...

Anyway, really happy to be back on this wonderful game and look forwards to matching up with some of you in-game!

Cheers,
Mark

I spent 100k to get everything.
Just buy some boosters and fill the holes with the market while selling everything above 5.

(i'm gonna try Magic, but I'm sure it won't beat ACR ^^)

I spent about 90k as well but have still holes to fill, but I guess that's cos I'm not willing to dump into those last few overpriced cards just yet

Autumn dynasty looks awesome, if I were an RTA fan I would play it. I'm a Starcraft retard

Don't really care for magic at the moment. Half the attraction of magic is actually playing people and building card collections and decks. It's not really present in a ore-constructed environment.

My tip: don't start buying singles now unless u need those cards urgently. Most cards are over priced at the 'buy' price. A better idea might be to make an offer and hope some seller takes up your offer.

Welcome back mate

This Magic is just so boringly slow. Confirmations, phases, turns, answers... and so many capacities to learn. I'm too old for this. :]

That made me think , maybe an 'animus glitch' could be used, I saw it mentioned in the new story missions. Possibly you choose your Revolution sequence when an animus glitch occurs. The potential to have two separate games going as you switch between the eras?,with memories that manipulate the animus. Just going off on a tangent here, sorry Im derailing your thread

me too me too. Really nice cards were added. Had some fun building decks lately.

I got iTunes deal from CoinStar (US) $40 for $50 iTunes deal x2 (ends 6/30) and purchased 130K credits. I still blame myself for missing credits sale way back.

Spent 110K and still have holes to fill.. Bad luck since extras Assassin rares I got are cheap ones Not going to complete the playset unless I see decent deals of the more expensive rares. Ironically I haven't had the time to actually play the game!
