    Just had the most painful Across Ixalan experience, 1 point off from completing any secondary objective 3 times, and game froze as I was about to win 2 games in a row.  Yarrrgh
    Wait — there are secondary objectives in AX? 
    Yeah. They're things like 'kill em as fast as you would anyway' and 'cast a whole bunch o creatures like you would anyway'

    I think I'm done. I've been fleeced one too many times now. I mean, I knew it was going on, but this time is just too much. 800 pinks and $50 this morning for 3 Josu Vess dupes when I already had one. Sorry, but enough is enough.

    I've put over $2k into this stupid game, and I'm well aware how insane that is. I always figured as long as I'm being entertained and sinking countless hours into something I enjoy and I'm helping support development for other players as well, I'm okay with dropping money on it. But this is the second time I've been routed like this, the first time was x4 Beckett Brass dupes (when she rotated into packs) after purchasing her as an exclusive.

    I wish I could gift someone my cards, but I'm just gonna uninstall, file a complaint with Apple citing that dupes circumvent % chances on loot boxes by adding a distinct layer of **** RNG on top of RNG.

    And no, I can't really play for free as I really like to collect the cards and brew decks. It's a personal weakness of mine when it comes to CCGs. It is what it is. I recognize my irrational behavior.

    Anyway, I'm stupid for sinking so much money into this game, but I also feel I've been taken for a ride by deceitful practices. Bye mtgpq, it's been real. I'm sure the door will hit me on the way out too.

    I'm sorry to hear your experience has been so cruddy, I really am :(

    I hope you were at least able to get something neat out of all the orbs you got.

    Ouch...

    Maybe make a "placebo" facebook account with a spare email address, settings locked down and don't do _anything_ else with it but login to games?

    The convenience is worth it, but I totally understand not wanting them prying.

    Is it just me or do I get way los combos with the colors of my PW? It’s exhausting playing only with 2- and 3-mana combos, ugh.

    No response today. Looks like another day without magic.Has me a little worried considering how much money I invested in this game.

    Even though I'm waiting for my ticket to be resolved as my account was reset with the latest server prompt for facebook, google play...., I had a good laugh. With nothing to do for the last 3 days, I checked out my previous game , Puzzle and Dragons that had my full attention for over 3 years before moving to this one. The new event is a MTG collab with the likes of Karn, Bolas and other various PWS being released. The irony..

    I want to rant about this thread. How do you turn off notifications for it? Every time I notified  it's only for this stupid thread, it's kind of annoying. 
    I don't think this thread is stupid, I think it's actually pretty cool that there are threads players return to.  But yeah, it would be cool if they put in a feature to mute threads you commented in earlier but are no longer participating

    You have to turn off all notifications and then bookmark the threads you want to follow going forward.

    I suppose you could also go through each page, one by one, and delete all your comments too

    I don't have Karn yet.  Wait...are you saying he's available for crystals now?

    RNG

    Needed to draw one card to win, Demolish to remove a Lichs Mastery. 34 rounds later and BAM! But only loyalty matches possible on the board and I lost the next turn.
