I still wish the game list was more highlighted when you have active games. The menu structure has never been Ascension's strong point.
Hey, it's been a couple months since I've said hello! I know that there will be leagues and tourneys for SoS+IH in a few of the other forums I visit as well. If TA may host one too, or if you'd like to know about other tourneys and league, let me know! I'll be coming by frequently!
(bug) report: I play Sadranis with Samael in place, but I am not allowed to defeat any monsters in the void. Is this normal?
You're allowed to defeat them, but they have to go under the portal deck per Sadranis's effect text. So you can't drag them into your discard pile.
While the soul gems are kind of weak as an added mechanic, I'm enjoying this new expansion. It's fun learning about the new cards and wondering why the art is generally so bad. I haven't played IH mixed with other decks yet, but it seems like it would be weird playing mixed with cards that appear as normal and also as soul gems.
Clarification (yeah, I did that): The portal deck is the center deck. Putting the monster at the bottom of that deck just makes it appear again sooner than if it were just in the void (where it wouldn't show up again till the portal deck was reshuffled).
It's unique, that's for sure. Reminds me of the Planescape CCG art from many years ago. I like his art better with the thicker lines.
This is kind of funny, because I just had a game today where I had Sadranis while I was also Samael'ed up, for the first time ever (and I've played about 2500 games!) I was able to defeat monsters from the Void without problems, and I was able to add the monsters that I defeated from the Void into my discard pile, as Samael's description says "...when you defeat a monster in the center row or the Void, you may acquire it..." What do you guys think?
Favorite decks to play? I'm a fan of using RotF, SoS and IH. I like the void drawers in RotF and the gameplay in SoS and IH flows great.
They can be. They just have to be defeated a different way. You have to send them under the portal deck (the pile of cards from which center row cards are drawn. It says "ascension" and looks like the back of a card and usually comes with a number indicating how many cards there are left to draw.
How about we wait and see what it actually looks like before we get all fire, brimstone and add in a big bowl of FUD, k? It'll be free to try and if it sucks then it sucks. Personally all I want is at least the ability to have local Bluetooth play. Why that can't be added I'll never know, is it really that hard a thing to cludge on? I play primarily against my wife and at least it will relieve that issue. Appletini - no, in my brash stupidity I didn't download the game. I have no logical or reasonable explanation as to the why I didn't. Had I know what we would have gotten, I would have a hundred times over.
Appeasement: Yeah, the new patch fixes the crash problem of Two-face. Reciting: The patch is as of the following:
just finished two very close games, one with JCman7 and one with skarsnik. All within 2 points of each other. A shoutout to JCman7, been enjoying our games so far because they are all so nail-biting close!
Hi, I gotta admit, I've only just gotten back into this game after a long while. I'm pretty terrible at it - the best I've managed is a tie with the hard AI level - but I do like this game a lot. I'm quite casual, not really that competitive a person, but I'd like to add a friend or two and play this game more with a real human. Looking for someone who can play reasonably regularly, and just keep the games going. Win, lose, I don't care. I'm in it for the fun. Anyone care to take me on?
