Smiley isn't taking too long or anything, I just posted because he made half his move this morning then left probably thinking he'd have to wait for me to confirm the bump he played. I happened to be online at the time so it confirmed immediately. Just posting in case the wonky notification system effed up.

No its ok, you can just blame Smiley, I know I do.
Oh shit, time to play through ALL of 2013 then right? whoops. haha.

Well... You DO have to confirm the bump! I didn't see you were online at the time, it said offline so I left. I knew it was still my turn, but I had to wait for you to confirm the bump. Didn't get a notification you'd done your move until later.
Anyway, we're done now! I won 13-11. Gg!
Also, just a reminder, but magic 2014 is a huge moneygrab. You only get 2 slots that you CANT reset for sealed play (initial boosters + campaign extra), you're stuck with those if they're bad. Once you've played through the campaign with then/want more, it's 2.99 for each extra sealed slot.
How does sealed work? I thought that was like, you get new packs every time. Thought I played it a few times on MTGO.
They would have my money if they made this universal. My gen1 ipad doesnt like too many games anymore and I am not going to drop $10+ on a game that will run like crap :\
I'm curious how they'll stop you from erasing the app and getting your sealed slots back. A login, maybe?
Anyway, their reasoning (excuse?) for slots is not wanting people to reload sealed until they have an overpowered deck to play online. If that's the case, why not make people open a new sealed pool each time they play with a group online? I guess that makes it too much like the MTGO sealed they want you to spend money on...haha.
You open a group of packs to build a deck. As you advance through the sealed campaign, you get new packs.

It works like this:
You have 2 sealed slots to start. Each slot contains:
5 initial boosters from which to build your deck, and a short campaign during which you can unlock 3 additional Boosters. With this sealed deck you can now play more campaign or 1on1 (no other modes). If you're not happy with your deck/want to try other themes, you have to pay 2.99 for each extra slot (5+3 boosters).
There'll most likely be a separate in-app login to prevent you from simply deleting, it's gonna be stored somewhere. Same for the PC version.

Well... Sealed play never really had a second hand market anyway. It's sealed for a reason. But yeah, it's just sad, because sealed play is sooooo much fun. Nearly as much fun as draft.
Only 1on1? I'll get over it.
Only 2 or even 1 sealed slots? Alright, I'm still on board.
No way to reset my sealed slots, limiting playtime and experience (and fun)? Fuck off.
I'm so looking forward to Hex. I spent too much money on MTGO, which is fun, but a really crappy client.
Naw it's just Sealed. You get 2x8boosters you can play 1on1 with. 2 decks for 10 dollars. Then 2.99 for each extra 8-booster deck.
Hex Hex Hex! MTGO had 10 years to get it's ass in gear and it still hasn't. It's not like they were incapable of doing so either. DotP and Magic 2013 show that they could've made a workable UI system if they tried hard enough.
The DOTP interface with the full ruleset and customizations and tourbaments and all modes and I'd be bankrupt by now. They had enough time, now I'm spending my money elsewhere. It was a nice ride.
I'm going into Hex with the 120.- Tier, what about you?
I went all out and did King + Pro tiers. I love drafting so Pro tier was an immediate buy for me. Was kinda sad when they gave all the other $250 tiers 1 year of drafting. At the last minute I put in for the additional King tier via Paypal. Not sure if I'll even open the packs I'm getting, beyond drafting with them, that is.
I might open a few of them off the bat (like 5 or so), the others I'm all saving for drafting with them. More fun AND better cards AND potentially winning boosters.

All this CCG talks baffles me, at least in a downloadable game.
Why the fuck would I pay 10 bucks for the app, then need to spend 2 bucks more every time I want to this sealed game type? Fuck that noise.

Exactly my point. If Sealed was replayable, even just one slot, I'd insta-buy. If not? Screw them.
I wouldn't lol.
Yuuuuup. Only sad that the prizes are ineligible to become Primal. They are ineligible, right? If I've learned anything from MTG, it's to never open a booster pack.
I had the lowest starting seed so it likely means I'm out.

You edited my tournament! It freaked me out, haha.
The site says it goes by Score > Tie Break > Seed.
So the order they are in, is the top 4.
No idea, but I think Primals are probably too valuable for prices. They might be reserved for bigger tournaments. The primal pack I'll definitely open
I just inputted scores. Sorry, I was anxious to see if the tie-breakers changed much! :lol
Well there you go...it's settled!

So im thinking best of 3, but still random armies.
So I will make 3 sets of match ups for all 4 bracket matchups. I will create random matchups and then random them into sets of 3. Make sense?

Yeah, there is a lot of weird fucking matchups, and not many of the stand first 4 teams.
game 2 vs eznark should be fun, I like Smart, and he likes Outpost, of course he won the last tournament with Outpost....so its going to be hard to win against him on that one I think, haha.
RaySpencer
Member
Yup, haha. Random is weird!
edit: Hey Smiley! Fix your game centre. I want to start up that Le Havre and Stone age game, but you're broken somehow. Its says your 'Not accepting game invites' when I try to invite you in LeHavre.

Fuuuuck. Haha.
The king of NH dominated me in the first game 20-13. And now he gets to play his favourite army. Haha
GG eznark.

This game should be interesting I don't think I have ever even seen this white team.
I think that New York team is even goofier than the Outpost. The outpost I turtle with because I want their extra initiative points. With New York you can turtle and just basically never get shot. Kind of goofy. I think that is the first game I have ever trashed a sniper shot.
lol, well this should be interesting! I was going to set it literally next to you just for laughs.

Yeah New York is great for turtling. Like any army though, if you don't get the right pieces at the right times it can really fuck you up. But you have skill with doing it wih outpost, so it ends up working better with New York.
I hope this game goes better for me. Haha. I haven't played enough games against you though, so I don't know how your mind works yet!
I figure this is the only game I'll be too predictable in since it's the only army I've used before of the three I have. Which is why I went ultra aggro with my HQ placement!
RaySpencer
Member
Yeah, I dont know what your predictable is though.
Plus predictable won you the last tournament, haha.
I don't know what's wrong with my GC, some games clearly don't like me
You on 7 or something? It seriously just says you arent accepting invites in Le Havre.

I'm totally lost in this game, I'm looking forward to playing with Smart next game!
Also, why the fuck can I not build a room in Agricola?!?!
RaySpencer

Good game Ray Spencer. I think you pulled all but one (the one I had) of the country to country cards
Yeah. I had a fuck load of those things. Swiss map is really cool and interesting and plays totally differently. I like it. Good game.
Since I posted my loss, I'm gonna post my win too.
. I snagged a map pic this time too. I forgot last time
