    TotP!!!  Ugh, since it's unrestricted (non-standard), it really needs more charges (or reduce the number of wins to achieve full rewards).  The number of times I've faced (and lost to) crazy, awesome, winning-handily-one-minute-but-the-match-turns-on-me-in-one-round decks is ridiculous.  By the way, I applaud whoever made those decks.  :blush:

    Someone said it well in another thread, something about the most enjoyable part of TG is making funky decks in a consequence-free setting where you're almost guaranteed full rewards.

    I believe all the dailies should be this way, and especially if the event is unrestricted.  I accept the grind, but losing any daily reward is frustrating.

    Now, when it comes to events with single-player leaderboards, I wouldn't mind if they were harder -- that is, getting every objective being nearly impossible/improbable.  It's daunting to know that you have to be perfect to score the top tier reward because there will be more than a handful of players who score perfectly and overflow the top tier.  And congrats to you perfect fellas.  ;)

    In the last 2 events (HoD and RtO), I came as close to perfect as I've ever been (just missed only 1 objective on each one) and ended up tied for 8th and 12th, respectively.  2nd tier rewards here were nothing to sneeze at, but double the amount of jewels (300 instead of 150) would have been fantastic!

    I didn't encounter any bugs/crashes that made me lose points, and I sympathize if it's happened to you.  :(
    Each loss of points (even the smallest amount) can have a big impact on which tier you end up in.

    Well, if the objectives were harder, I may never reach the top tier, but perhaps I'll be more hopeful.

    I see what you're saying.

    Welcome to the forums btw as I see this is your first post.  Also your profile pic and avatar are awesome.  I was a huge Buffy and Calvin and Hobs fan :D

    AI green = Gemswaps to green and Zendikars Roil. With the added creature steal also.

    All matches sofar (played five) has been this combo. Sometimes I manage to fend off the waves and sometimes not. But they take forever with constant animations of tokens spawning. And the gem explosions over and over and over.

    I'm just glad Jousting Lance won't be terrorizing TG anymore.

    Yeah, those nerfs… I had more to say, but the several threads said it all anyway.

    Also, I'm curious what FindingHeart thinks of Haphazard Bombardment. I remember someone on here wanted more random cards in red, and I thought it was you…

    Agree on all dinos except etali. That Dino is pure madness and so totally fits the flavor!

    it's definitely a step in the right direction.  I'm hoping for more random shenanigans the further this game develops ;)

    they should rename Etali: "Niv's Temperamental Cousin."  Flavortext: Starts all the debates at all the family dinners.

    It's also more experimentation in dealing with the match3 part by doing weird things with the board, anything like that is good.

    The quiet before the release..... played out A.I. and TG. Not really inspired to play much else because my greedy brain wants to play with new cards.

    Hmm..... *grabs crickets and put both in a box*

    *chirp?*

    There was an update and all the new cards are there - but the purpose of purples is still to give out duplicates! I can't believe that after all this time they still haven't fixed this!

    5 premium packs, not a single mythic from dominaria!

    D3 can shove their phony "30% chance" where the....grrrrrr!!!


    This is why games have pity timers! 

    But hey, at least i got 9 different rares,counting the 5 guaranteed rares, but not counting the 5-6 duplicates, such as 3 copies of lich's mastery, and multiple copies of Mirari conjecture in the same pack!

    So far I've pulled 3 Karn's Temporal Sundering. 

    2 in pink packs and one in a PP. I was planning on dropping $$ on crystals, but I don't see the value at this point.
