spectating absolutely needs to be added asap
allow spectating of friends playing gauntlet or w/e in real time but only showing their hand. some of the most fun i've had is playing phantom draft while i have a friend to bounce ideas off of for the next move

Oh man, I feel terrible for my opponent in Call to Arms. It was a Green Machine mirror match and we were around the 4/5 mana when I had to step out for a minute. Ended up being AFK for about 5 mins or so and I was surprised to see the game still going on when I returned, It was a few round later and we were at around 8/9 mana.
Apparently I had just lost the mid lane and the computer had auto sent my dead heroes to the first lane which was literally about to be destroyed too. Thanks to pulling a bunch of Thunderhides in my hand I managed to block lethal and turn the game around to win both the first and mid lane by using Dark Seer to send them to the mid lane that my opponent had vacated.

It's still kind of early but I like the Artifact Goldfish site (google it I'm on mobile atm). They are the best site for MTG net decking IMO. It's barebones at the moment but I could find the WePlay tournament decks at least.
Still learning the basics of how to play. I need a good guide on deck building because im coming from 25 years of magic and don't quite understand ratio of colors, like with hero's do i do 3 blue/2 red, 2 red, 3 blue but at hte same time how many items, spells etc. should be put into a deck, like in magic i know the deck theory of maximum lands and creature/spells to have a good curze and understand the archtype's of control, weenie, burn etc.
Still trying to wrap my around protecting my 3 lanes will still taking 2 (or 1 once) i tend to go hard on 2 lands early on with protecting a third enough to where they can't wipe it out fast and go from there. If i see the opponent changing X or Y lane i'll shift apporiate. I tend to play control or super quest burn in magic.

edited new link for spectating priveleges while you wait/after you lose (no clue what happens if you are spectating a match and your match comes up)
https://www.playartifact.com/tournament/?invitekey=3872584952786867897
So you need to sign up and show up by 1PM EST to do your "draft"
And matches will start when people are ready to go.
Drafting speed will be up to me as admin so please don't take like half an hour to draft by reading up on every card lore and cross-referencing some database site.
Fridays 20 player tournament took about two hours for the finalists so keep that in mind
I think almost everyone showed up around the start time, but a lot of people were ready early.

Yeah, It feels a bit lenient.
It actually auto-forfeited Reynad in a tournament game just now - https://clips.twitch.tv/DifferentIronicSpiderDoubleRainbow
Just played against someone in constructed who had what felt like a very expensive deck (mainly because they had Axe). I was using a red-blue deck I'd just assembled with the cards I'd gotten from booster packs.
They were cruising to victory and were crushing me in nearly every lane. To secure victory they rushed mid lane with 4 of their heroes.
Then I used Annihilation.
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd....495/2E89E0A3E1A9E7F82409FDA9ECE2B7446FC50FC9/
I fortified the mid lane with two Dimensional Portals whilst they were dead.
They went hard right with their heroes, sending only Axe mid.
With Ogre in left lane and Zeus in mid, I could use Thundergod's Wrath twice and kill three of their heroes immediately.
Then victory followed.
I felt for sure I had lost this game. Feels so good.

Purge recommends 8 cards per hero color, items i think he said 10 or 12
Yeah I guess it can be pretty daunting.
But I totally agree on the time thing. At the end of the game I almost always amass like 15 minutes "thinking" time.

I agree, the time is a factor. Not sure how this is going to work on phones. You can't just play a casual 5 minute game waiting for a bus

60 cards a deck and 5 heroes. What a good mix with the rest of stuff? How many spells and stuff? Do item box stuff count towards the deck?
The archetypes look similar to magic in a way. I want to try to build a mono-red fast deck and maybe a mono blue or blue/black control if that exist. I'm gonna open 100ish packs and just read through them, try to build some decks and play casual. I've always preferred limited in card games but until i get a good idea on deck building and playing i am not touching it. I buy packs because i do play constructed with friends. Table top non top meta. Don't care for top meta. Me and my friend are gonna try to setup a pauper tournament this weekend.
I agree with the length of games. My main issue is lack of any progression at all. I also think you should get something for 2 wins. I'm not refunding because I like the game but I have decided to not invest in a collection at all. I sold everything I had. It's a good base game but incomplete. I'll keep it so I can revisit it as they update it.
That deck actually looks cool. I might try out some blend of the rare and pauper versions since I don't have all the rares there. I'd been wanting to do a Payday deck though so that's perfect.
Min deck has 40 cards (this is why it's recommended to do 8 cards per hero), 15 of those will be from your heroes. The Item cards are separate from your deck. Blue black can be control, it'd be focused on Lock (disabling cards for a set amount of turns) and killing creatures
OP
OP
I tried to refund but they wont let mecause I opened the 10 packs, really pissed me off but whatever
And here's the article I got it from: https://www.artifactfire.com/artifact/news/artifact-deck-tech-mono-black-aggro-decklist-40. It talks a bit about the cards and how to use them for those new to the game. Yeah, it's the top article on artifactfire. Not very original/inventive, but it worked.
I find the deck really fun as well. It has a ton of cross-lane abilities and lots of ways to kill heroes, plus swimming in gold is always nice. I'm not entirely sure how well it would do against decks running beefy red heroes since it really wants to kill things early, but that's the good thing about a no-rares format: you don't have to worry about Axe.
That seems like something you should be able to escalate to real life support instead of robots. But... it is Valve, so. "good" "luck"
Theres literally a warning before you open your packs that you can't refund it
Hey, I ignore any and all warnings. I like livin' life on the edge.
Feel like Valve could just force delete all your opened cards, and provided you didn't sell any of them, you'd be good.
Though I suppose someone could exploit that to buy it again to try to get better pulls. /shrug
They don't want you refunding after you open your packs because then people would just refund and re-buy until they get something they want.
Well the warning just says that you are not eligible for the 2-hour bot refund - you probably can still refund if you haven't sold anything.
I doubt they would allow a refund in that case or else people will just buy/open packs/refund until they get the draws they want.
Yeah, Valve really don't want people re-rolling with this.
Which kind of makes sense given the cards actually have monetary value. You could easily reroll for axes and make $.
That said, I sure do like games where you can reroll a decent starting collection.

As is my right to do? Its a digital card game, they can see what I have, they can see ive hardly played and they can delete it all... Like I said whatever i dont care about the money or this game
Did you miss the warning that explicitly told you this would happen?
