    Sounds fun. Of course I'm also a member of TP9, but it sounds kinda fun. I'm pretty sure I can make it happen with Dovin. We'll see.

    May I just say that this is harder than I thought. I was given Saheeli as my planeswalker from @babar3355and I've missed two objectives and just lost a round against 2-3. Yes, you read that correctly, I lost against the zombies in 2-3.

    One of my objective loses was in 1-2 where I beat the opponent before I played my fourth creature. The second objective was against 2-3 where they did more than 20 damage to me.

    Seriously?? :-) with Tezzeret 1? 

    I'm changing my deck little by little, switching to Nahiri. Still have to tinker something for 2.1 and 3.2

    @doomstat is right, this is difficult. But fun!

    I just did it with chandra 2, who was surprisingly good at every node.

    @Doomstat last week I lost on 2.2 with Nahiri. It’s a lot harder than it seems.

    It's nice to have the challenge. This gave me a reason to actually think about what to play in the deck, and change what was in it at every node. I believe I was overlooking bounce cards in my other builds for kill cards, but bounce is giving me the control I prefer from blue builds. 

    Thank you for opening my eyes to a new fun strategy.

    On kill objectives I combine them. Turn to Frog and Unsummon = 2 kills on one creature. Great for 2.3

    I really like challenges in stale times like we are having them now. HoD has been a pleasant surprise. Here are some that keep me engaged:

    For Rotgp, Node 1: Always play only not mastered cards.

    For Rotgp, Bolas: Kill him with every PW. Of those PW I posses I am missing Jace2, Nissa2,  Lili2 and 3, Aj2 and Samut

    For Rotgp, Bolas: Include a goat in your deck, play it at least three times and win with all objectives.

    For TG: Play with whatever deck the app randomly creates with the implemented auto-build 

    For tit boring events like FirF or EO: Create theme decks like "only domesticated creatures that could live on a farm - pigs, goats, dogs" or "only good looking creatures". 

    One does what one needs to do.

    See how much you can accomplish with a beginner deck.

    That would be a great challenge for next week — though limited because of Standard. How about pauper — commons and uncommons only?

    I'm okay with pauper. Don't think I could do it with only one planeswalker, though. I hit progression last night with 52% left on the event. Most entertaining event yet. Thank you for the idea.

    "Only good looking creatures" - I'll try not to deliberately take that the wrong way!

    You'll be surprised. There is more power at our disposal than we usually use.

    The biggest issue with pauper is the mana curve on un/common cards. They don't get played in pvp because they just can't keep up with the usual bombs people throw out there.

    It's not that they can't keep up. AI plays so badly they usually can.

    It's that they're simply not as good as the usual bombs available to you when you're deciding what to throw into the deck.

    Considering I beat RotPG within my first three weeks of playing, you can accomplish it all.

    This sounds like fun. I’m not a member of TP9. Though I know bken is a great player. But more to the point, she cares enough about trying to kill boredom out of RotGP, which we’ve only run a few times now... Like maybe 400 times. I play a game to have fun. So any suggestion is welcome to me. If I can’t do it and put in a poor score for one event - who cares?! It will be back next week.

    How about this challenge if anyone is worried about coalition events - when playing ToP events, use a DIFFERENT PW for each node. It’s a challenge, not a contest. I often do it to spice things up. F-U-N. You know, the thing you’d expect of a game...

    Enjoy.

    On the PvE events I frequently do as absolutely much as I can with the planeswalker I'm enjoying the most at the time. I just played all of Fateful Showdown to progression with my weird Nahiri deck that uses her 2nd ability instead. It was fun. I couldn't do 8 supports on Noxious Gearhulk but I got 5.
    (By the end of the game I get to the point where the hand is just an illusion and no matter what card I put at the top, what ends up first by the time I get to cast something is completely random! So I was actively _trying_ to play only supports and failing because they were never there to play... It makes me laugh sometimes.)

    @Kinesia I'm curious to see your Nahiri deck. I'm always interested in off-the-wall decks that work somehow.
