My grin is insane. Considering how risky a sale is for a key at this time and with no fall back if scammed it just amazes me that the value of KS tiers is such that they are going for above their KS price. And this is while Hex is buggy and in CB.

I so hope they keep their value long term and Hex continues to improve.

So I won my first tournament due to patience. I waited out the Lock up and remained in lobby. At the time I was 1st place since I had won my first 2 rounds and my opponent was still in the middle of his/her second round. I come back from lunch and the gym and it had awarded me first place. 5 packs and 20,000 gold. I hope they get this fixed soon.
They seem to have turned them off for now. On the bright side, they appear to have refunded all my draft tickets. Makes me wish I had used them all yesterday heh.

I did not put in a request for refund. I got my prize and just feel that would be cheesy to also place a request for refund, though at this stage I am sure I could. Looking on the forums though, it is almost scary seeing all the posters buying platinum by the 100's of dollars at this stage of development. One of the "Producer Tiers" is even complaining about CZE not offering a $250 or $500 increment for buying platinum. It boggles my mind and my wife would string me up if I told her I wanted to spend that kind of money.

It also gives me hope that this will just further fund the end of this project and really get this up and running as intended.

When things do work it's better, MUCH better then MTGO online. Even with the small art font, tiny chat box and numerous missing features it is still fun to build decks and play them. The socketing throws in a nice twist that I have seen used very effectively already.

Of course this only really matters to you if the idea of a better MTGO online clone is exciting to you. Eventually though the PvE may be what brings in the most new players and no one has any idea what the quality of that is.

So I've play-tested my Mono Red Durdle-Bot deck, decided that dwarven turbines are the best cards in the game.

One Volcannon is a win condition with a dwarven turbine and any card in my deck.

Also, +3/0 champion power on an unblockable socketed Effigy 2/2 for 3 is just top notch.

Also, dwarven turbine + Herald of Doom = opponent ragequit

Next up is Blood Diamond righteous paladin reanimator.

Any good site out there for a complete newb at this game? I opened all my primals and 20 of my packs and used some of the cards to update the starter dwarf deck.

hextcgpro.com seems okay

The starter decks are surprisingly good.

Righteous Paladin mono white has beaten my ass a few times.

I'm reading this list as UB Control, is that what you were going for?

Needs more pact of pain and counter magic, the plethora of one off's might get awkward for deck consistency too. Let me know how it works out.

Might also want to look into some of the Draw and Graveyard manipulation artifacts. If you're going for heavy draw cycles and the like.

looks like they redeemed the crash. I did not even put in a petition but, I came back to a free draft, pack, and 5000 gold having been added to my account. Spun the gold and got the walker boot equipment and the accolate sleaves. Nice thing bout the free draft is the lack of an expiration date on this one. I will use it though since they are indeed reimbursing if something goes wrong. Having not lost the 5 packs and what I drafted was also nice, though I just got rares and nothing super. Yay for Beta testing.

I have a champion tier code to sell, not sure where the best place to do that is. I bought in a while ago but I've never actually been able to play a game (and as an avid MTGO player, I'm used to shitty UIs) so the code is not doing me any good.

I'm just starting to get into this, i'd lie if I said I greatly favor DoC vs HEX at this stage but it has potential. I wouldn't be touching this probably if it wasn't for DoC's recent changes, just so many bad decisions....first time in my entire gaming career I actually watched a "twitch" live broadcast of the dev's etc and the more I heard them the more I got concerned they don't know what the fuck they are doing in alot of areas.

So i'll see about HEX.

I am still looking for a GK or Pro, have a few potential sellers but will take any other sellers offers into consideration before I pull the trigger. I will warn people though, the way its set up HEX is going to be a fucking money pit but I guess this isn't news to people that played these types of games before (I'm new to the genre with DoC being my first about 6-7 months ago). I had pretty damn good success in DoC so i'm hoping I can make some waves in HEX.

Just started really feeling the game out the last day or two and my go to deck at this point is a blood-ruby orc deck that has synergies up the ass and can really bring the pain but I lose some games just due to me learning some of the werid shit in the game.

(PM me if you are selling please)

Oh I realize that this will be an investment, but any magic the gathering kind of game is. That is the nature of the game. This game at least will eventually have a Player verse environment aspect that will not cost nearly as much money. Also having the pro player means I get to play for free once per week. If they eventually run tournaments that potentially give cash awards, then that will be what makes the game worth playing. Even if the company does not sanction such tournaments, other websites could. Also, as much as I like the physical feel of cards, I hate having tons of them cluttering up my living space.

The game is very fun to play and so I hope will just get better as time goes on.

I've got the Pro tier and I wouldn't consider selling it for less than $500, if you are able to get one for less from a reputable seller (ie: don't get yourself ripped off) then I think you did well. The game looks and plays like shit to me right now but I'm holding on to hope that the PVE content kicks ass.

It's a mill/draw deck. I've ripped out some cards, I have counter magic in there and flock of seaguls as well. Pact of Pain is nice, but I took it out. I had it in there for a while.

The one offs are just because I don't have enough of other cards. I need more Vampire Kings and Ancestor Chosens. I would love to have more Incantations as well.
