    There's someone whose GC ID is Blagog, and he has a W/L of 71/19 using TO (last checked a few days ago). Anyone feeling confident enough in their TO slaying abilities should invite him.

    I honestly have not played online yet ... and when I do, I will not care of statistics and only play the factions I like the most.

    Same here... But my bet is that we wont really be better at the game feeding on AI. I mean, ive never seen AI Sneeks use his ability to save his skin or to 1v1 my wounded champs/summoner when he only has a 1 attack common chipping away at me.

    Blagog is very knowledgeable about Summoner Wars. He has a very informative Blog I've been perusing as I learn how to play the different decks.

    The Blagog on GC has nothing to do with that site. In case you haven't noticed, Blagog is a TO Champion ;)

    The people who run that site are:
    And as a bonus, screamingtruth is Colby Dauch, Summoner Wars' designer. Good luck, he runs Cloaks most of the time and he'll still beat you :)

    JE/VG. I forget the first win but second win was JE. Third was loss w/ VG. Fourth win with JE. All to as much as I remember.

    Gorilla instakills smashers. And my champs beat his. Only hard part is his summoner.

    My first match was with someone named Ret-Talus (just like the summoner) that played FK and trounced me.

    Later the SW name changed to Blagog but in gamecenter it remained Ret. Now they are no longer in my friends list. It must be someone from plaid hat or Playdek that is changing their username so you know what deck they are going to beat you with ;)

    JE seems like a good fit for swarming the board and making a nervous TO player waste his Freeze on something less important. Although I can see all freezes going to Abua Shi, to negate his ability. In addition those Chants of Negation can be deadly for disarming champs. I'll make JE my next faction to learn.

    Although I do like GD with their Wall destroying abilities for taking down those pesky Ice Walls, one Besiege the Walls and you could have quite a few free cards for Magic.

    Aren't GC nicks permanent? And SW names are GC names, Playdek doesn't use a nick system. It just plugs into GC for connection and identification info.

    That's why I thought it was someone connected with the game somehow. If you designed the game you could easily build an in-house version that allows you to play with whatever credentials you wanted.

    Oh, I think I know what happened. This happened to me once too, it's a bug. Sometimes when creating a game the name will be the Summoner's name instead of a GC nick, as if you were creating a game against AI. I have no idea what happens if you do create that game, which friend it connects you to. But I've seen that thing happen.

    Yeah you killed me with those dwarves!

    Besides the global stats from Playdek, check out this set of stats compiled by people who do the physical game to get a sense of faction balance (Source: Blagog.com)

    Interesting to see that every faction has a good chance to win, just that some factions seem to be slightly stronger.

    Another site has a 'power ranking' - basically it seems that players can register and rate the champions and commons with a grade A-F, can see which are the more popular units.

    Anyhow, I love this game! And see you guys in the battlefield!

    Oooo, well that makes sense. This all happened when the whole corrupted binaries thing happened. But I specifically remember being adds on GameCenter by Ret-Talus and I thought it was hilarious... Until he defriended me.

    Who knew he was a sore loser!?

    Just played someone online that has over 70 wins compared to my 3...

    Utterly DESTROYED them!!! I dropped my iPad on the couch, held my fists over my head, and did a victory lap around my house.

    Their Vanguard vs my Guild Dwarves. I was luckily to start with a Heroic Feat and a Besiege the Walls on the opening hand. My engineer hit their wall hard and with proper protection and some unlucky rolls I was able to finish it off in turn three.

    It was my first massacre and I loved every minute of it >:)

    Haha my favorite decks are right at the bottom :p I clearly need to fully understand CG too, I don't win anywhere near those numbers.

    GD vs VG is a pretty bad matchup, but it can't take anything away from a good massacre ;)

    My most hated matchup as VG is GD> Only reason I have to get off the backrow as VG is because of wall destruction. And their hero who only takes damage from full rolls beats my champ strat.

    Ya JE are good but I wouldn't really swarm their field otherwise you'll eat magic drains/reinforcements nonstop. play units better than theres and get miti on the field and you'll wrap the game up nicely.

    Gosh. See that all people I used to play with in ascensions during my latest BGG tournament are n SW and with massive stats!!

    Anyhow, I just created my very first online game with a modified TO. I still feel I am too crap at it.

    GD with a 2nd or 3rd round wall kill is a pretty bad match up regardless of race ;)

    They basically had to start burning through cards in order to find a wall that never came. I even spread my units so if they got the wall they couldn't hit me hard with priests and holy judgement to escape or worse take out my hard hitting units. Sera has 6 hp so GD decks have to work hard to pin her down before she gets healed or gets reinforcements.
