www.spectromancer.com/index.cgi?p=1App store. HD and non HD. I played it. I like it. Bought the 2 expansions. (1.99 each) Just released 5 days ago on app store. still exploring. Around $4.99 for HD and $1.99 for iphone. I played on Ipad. I do not like the iphone interface so much. In terms of value for money, 2 thumbs up.

I see a Jeronimo in the Hall of Fame. Is that our own Jerronimo?
I'm gonna give it a shot.

I see Stalker in the game too. Stalker, did you not receive my PMs?
Btw the cards seem to be randomly generated. Can you not dictate which cards you need?

That's the crappy part I hate. I think it might be possible to customise for PvP.

Sorry dire, did see you, but I entered a duel, got a disconnect and called it a night. The cards have to be random, because there are some seriously broken synergies. Specially if you have the 2cc +2 fire watercreature, the 7cc phoenix that can't be killed if your fire is above 10, and that supernova type effect that hits everything (except yourself) based on how high your fire skill is... Spam the water creature, block with Phoenix, wait to blow everything up....
Talking of disconnects, I have 2 wins and about 10 "losses" ... Every single loss was a "lost connection"... Including where I have 90 health and my opponent has 5... Anyone else experiencing this?

whoa, PvP is pretty fun.
I love that you can click on every opponent's profile and see their stats, wish they had it for SE.
I used to hate this game for its randomness. after reading Richard Garfield's write up at their forums, i am a little more convinced. in any case, there are truly great players out there. hence there is some skill to this game or rather, there is a formula to determine who's truly better.
And there is no clear 'best' deck; i've seen and played vs very good players who plays Sorcerer, Mechanican, Necromancer, Goblin Chieftain, Beast Master, illusionist all to extremely high scores.

Do you have the link to that article? Btw, how does one pay for an expansion set?
I kinda prefer playing campaigns.

It's about why it's not a good idea for players to customize their deck. And yes, the Ai is surprisingly fun. Expansions : if u click on certain heroes and u cannot use them, that's the expansion , there are 6 heroes that can only be unlocked with cash. That's the expansions

If I could customise my deck, its gotta have phoenix and heal. Drop max phoenixes with +10 fire element. Read a book and relax thereafter.

Read a book and relax thereafter. in PvP, that strategy won't work well. basically, you'll be so hard pressed that it usually hard to sustain it. Unless you have merfolk elder (?) and Merfolk apostate.

That's true. The phoenixes would be more of a long term aim with the merfolks/others filling the gaps. Btw a tornado actually removes a phoenix despite having a fire elemental score of 10+.

I am surprised that they don't.
Death spell is a pain I must say. Thats the one where the board is wiped and hp are channelled as life force into user?

Once it's used, it's replaced by another spell, Soul Steal or something (which is still not bad) They have a Necromancer!? I wish I could play. Come to Android please. it is on PC but its not free.
