    Yup. Initially, I reinstalled and just put back the saved data. It didn't work. I restored purchases and all, then I put back the saved data again and it worked again. Maybe it will differ on your side, but in anyway, it is another option for you to try.

    Yep! Very cool. Did they drop at the same time as the console versions? Any impressions yet?

    While still stoked to get whatever I can with this game, hadn't black and white already been done? I know nothing of the MtG lore but thought the point was to cover all of the key color combos.

    Nefarox was Black-White, but it was really an Exalted theme deck, whereas this will be an Orzhov deck, so will explore very different mechanics.

    Although I can't play it yet as my update is queuing behind my download of ViOS City.

    From what i have heard, deck pack three will cover the missing color combinations and a possible five color deck.

    IPad dlc comes out a day late if i am not mistaken, compared to stram, xbox, pc, ps3 etc.

    Glad somebody appreciated it ;-)

    I've had a quick look at the two decks now, although haven't played either. Orzhov looks a bit midgamey with loads of Deal 1/Heal 1 effects - I wasn't too impressed. Gruul is a very direct aggro deck, as you'd expect, which specialises in pump spells - it reminds me of the Rakdos deck, but will be more aggressive as it doesn't have the removal. Compared to Rakdos it has a higher average card quality, but doesn't have the auto-win of Demigod of Revenge.

    Neither deck set my world alight, and I think Gruul is missing a Giant Solifuge or two. Fires of Yavimaya is a hot card, though.

    I think I underestimated the Orzhov deck. I'm still only about halfway through unlocking it, but it's shaping up better than I thought - one of the few decks with a good chance vs Krenko.

    It is, and so is the R/G deck. But the curse of the shuffle is still there.

    I played my fully unlocked R/G deck last night and went 2-2. Did i play bad on my 2 loses? Not really. One game ended with me having two mana the whole game, and the other game i have 7 mountains and 1 forest. Which leads me back to playing mono decks since i will atleast eliminate some mana issues.

    Then you'll just want the Expansion (5 new decks for $4.99), DLC Pack 1 (2 new decks for $2.99), DLC Pack 2 (2 new decks for $2.99). There is even a third DLC pack planned for release in the near future with another 2 decks at $2.99, no clue what is beyond that.

    the dlc decks arent the same i unlock playing campaign, right?

    anyway, its first time i buy something on app store, and even if i unlocked the premium features, no money was spent on my credit card :)

    Yep, the 2 DLC packs are all new stuff released after the expansion. If you've unlocked everything released so far you should have 19 decks.

    No.

    When somebody quits an online match the AI takes over - you still have to play and win the game.

    Is there any news of this coming to iPhone anytime? This would be so amazing on a iPhone readily available for on the go play. Particularly on the iPhone 5 with that little bit extra screen size. Other games have been dubbed impossible to port to iPhone and then 6 months later there it is (ACR for one).
    Any news?

    The game itself, in my opinion, is pretty hard to play on the iPad already. Text is not readable, almost, so you need to do a lot of zooming (if you are not familiar with the cards). Another thing, Imagine 50 tokens on the iPad? Packed! What more with the iPhone.

    Seeing that they will be coming out with one more DLC this January (estimate), and the lack of content even on the DLCs, I highly doubt they will make an iPhone version. No official news whatsoever, but base on the timeline, Magic 2014 should come out mid 2013. Again, another reason why it is highly unlikely that they will make an iPhone version.

    These are promo foil cards which makes the decks from 30/30 to 40/40. DLC are not included by the way.
