I thought it was preconstructed decks at this point.

Okay so not yet. That's going to be either a big problem, or a major improvement. I wish I could have seen it.

I saw mention of the stack and there was one point where Gaby played Unsummon whilst the Hexproof/Uncounterable Dino was on the stack to return a guy that taps to give Haste back to Amaz's hand before the dino hit the table.
Though its nothing big like seeing a counter in action so I guess it wasn't a full, real view of the stack but they stacked up at the side and there's the button to click to let things resolve.

That and it wasn't like Stainless was a 1-off thing.

So either (a) Wizards has literally zero quality control, (b) Wizards doesn't care if its digital offerings are crap, or (c) Wizards is so cheap that they will hire a company repeatedly that they know can't deliver a competent digital game.

None of those are good options.

I am not kidding about this.

It appears you have to sign up for the beta with Windows Explorer Edge or the capcha may not load correctly, you you may not be on the list if you didnt solve a visual capcha after signing up. Fyi.

What is this, 1998?

I didn't even notice that last night, thanks for the heads up!



The decks on show a preconstructed, there will be a custom deck builder (hard to see every card in standard otherwise finding a home).

Of course there will be a deck builder, but will it be a good deck builder, or total garbage? The last one was basically terrible - until the last update and then it was decent, I guess.

Surely they learned the lesson that having 2-3 drops clumped together was a weird choice

"Great i narrowed it down from 600 to 200 cards, that's so much more convenient!"

They really just need a way to allow us to build decks outside of their client. The graphical stuff is nice and all, but I'd really just like a way to import lists somehow. Their stuff will always take too long to use imo.

I know we don't have an XLN spoiler thread, but damn new Vraska!

Seems decent for 6 mana. Plus and minus provide solid protection. Not sure if GB makes it more or less playable though. I miss caring about the new cards.

Signed four times with mozilla and Chrome, captcha always loaded properly.

If in doubt, maybe call support to verify your having signed for the beta?
I did that as well, considering I don't quite trust the system that they are using.



WotC and Stainless clearly never had a direct communication. Digital products have been an afterthought so far.
PR and Marketing usually came up with wrong, misleading statements, and clear mistakes.
Hell, they kept pushing the "You can keep playing and earn gold in Duels without end" for 2 weeks, until they took the time to call Stainless and ask what was going on, with so many iOS players getting capped gold at 200.

They even gave out beta keys to press and streamers, and they had been told that there was no cap.

Let's hope they learnt and they keep a direct line between PR and developers this time around.

So just to confirm, the beta is only for PC right?

I'm amazed that Gem is the only person to mention the drafting , that's going to be amazing

Yup.
Only PC for now.

I had to sign out of Wizards and close the site then delete all the cookies of the site, after doing that I signed up for beta without signing back into the website and got a confirmation pop up.
Though I have yet to receive the confirmation email but that did say it may take a few days to confirm I signed up.

On an another note all the spoilers are getting so muddled up thanks to Iconic Masters pre-release. I mean they're mostly properly labelled but it's still so much to keep track of, like for a moment I thought Mana Drain was in Ixalan until I realised it was Iconic Masters.

Well, I'm all signed up for the beta!

Wonder what ixalan has for mono-red...

Mono Red you say?

The real question is do they support AI duels. It is much more programming so I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't but they will lose a lot of potential player base without it. Grinding in pvp only is not my idea of fun.

Lots of info to digest so I picked a poat with relevance to my thoughts.
Your last sentance.
Not even going to attempt the beta. Will depend on you all for feedback and pray it's released on all platforms as stated.
