    this is the type of event we'd like! Single objectives that are relatively demanding!

    But reading into this, you guys will hopefully be collecting statistics on the percentage of decks running beneath the floorboards + behold the beyond, right? And noticing the win % of decks that get to play those cards on the same turn at some point in a game?

    I think our complaining might be paying off. icon_razz.gif

    This is just going to be one big race between 50 ties with perfect scores isn't it? Or am I missing something?

    Sounds like a really nice event, I'm looking forward to it!

    ...except for those rewards... Ever After? Meh.

    I'd much rather be playing this an Emrakul's Corruption for the third time.

    You checked out my poll, right?

    I don't see a coalition aspect -- which I'm not complaining about at all. Are points for this going to count towards our All-time scores?

    I'm pretty excited for this event. It checks off a lot of boxes in regards to what I'd like to see in an event (assuming there isn't some curveball).
      Interesting deck building puzzle (challenging 2-tier objectives)
      Doesn't take all my time (just one node)
      Isn't mandatory for top players who may be disinterested in prize (no coalition ranking/prize)

    Yeah since I am sitting on 4 copies of that already that was very disappointing

    Scores may still feed into lifetime coalition points so some may feel the need to put in a good showing to move up the all time leaderboard.

    Does that happen? Did it happen with NoP and ****?

    According to my records, lifetime scores were accrued with the 8/27 Terrors event and 8/31 Nodes event before the actual coalition rewards in the Saheeli event on 9/2.

    That's true because I joined in the last hour of the first Nodes and I felt underwhelming. That being said, there was a coalition award for that. I got GRB and then felt bad because I didn't do anything to get it. Not sure about the first **** though.

    Individual scores in this event are not being added to lifetime coalition scores. All is well.

    Hell, I had FUN!

    fast game, easy to medium objectives, plenty of rewards in a very short term run.

    I enjoyed nosediving these first 10 games and I will still play (in 7 hours, maybe).
    Also good that there is no pressure on coalitions.

    Devs, very, very good job: keep up like this! (THUMB UP)

    I enjoyed the fact that you could play 10 games, win something every few games, wind up with some cards, runes, crystals and packs, and then just stop.

    Quick Battle should be like this. 10 games and out.

    Definitely: I have a full time job, and I think a lot of people, like us, cannot follow an event for 2 or 3 days.

    This way it's a short rush, it's rewarding and (yes) more addictive icon_e_smile.gif

    Either they found a way to match us against only event decks or every black deck is already so heavily invested in Zombies that you can't tell the difference. icon_e_smile.gif

    I hope it's the former, and I'll add another cheer for secondary objectives this time around.
