Started playing it on my iPhone today. I like it, it has depth while being easy to play even on a cellphone. That said, 20g everytime you kill an AI is ridiculously low.. there are no offers worth doing for dark crystals for me, and I'm definitely not planning to spend any money, so I'll basically just have to farm the AI over and over and I BETTER have a build planned out since any money spent on cards I don't need is a huge waste.

You can earn Shadow crystal by doing offers. For PC and for you cellphone device. Im from Chile, and I earned like 400 SC by doing offers. NA and EU guys can earn at least 800 SC becouse offers are differents. Also you can build a farming rush deck, if you want to farm AI.

When you level up, you earn 25 shadow crystals, and IA rewards get high. so at level 10 if im not mistaken, you earn 75 gold for every win against AI and 100g in PvP.

I played it for a little while now today and I have to say this is one of the easier F2P games when it comes to earning your stuff without spending real money.

And thats what I like about SE, you can earn every single card without having to spend any single dollar. Also gameplay and the lot of strategy it has make this one of the most competitive TCG around.

Well yes, obviously, that's how they want to make money out of it. However, you can make at least one tier 1 deck with no money involved, so playing at a high level for free is definitely very possible.

I'm currently grinding my way up to a semi decent deck. To be honest, I don't really plan on investing time/effort into this game, I just needed something to keep me interested till Diablo 3 comes (open beta really sucked me in lol), but this does seem pretty interesting.

Do some offers on you Cellphone and on your PC with your account, and you can ear easyly 800 shadow crystals.

Also, click on this link and you can earn 125-200 free shadow crystals.

Use this Shadow Crystal to buy elemental decks, and buy all their cards (their card sell in higher price)

Stopped playing MTG ages ago as those around me also stopped but really wished I could continue playing. Will probably try this but a few questions before I do:
How long is this 'grind' that people talk about?
Are these offers for the in game currency region specific? Mainly concerned about Australia as we never get any attention when it comes to games D:
How often are new cards added?

Will certainly give this a shot: Boosters / starter decks are like, a dollar, so if I like it, I'll invest five or ten bucks in it. Very cheap.

Just started playing this game casually(lvl 6) and I must say it's pretty fun. I've been actually able to build a pretty decent Mage deck without putting up any money out of my pocket. If this thread becomes a bit more active I would add some of you who still play for one custom games. Now to answer a few questions:

bored: The grind isn't that bad honestly considering every level you gain you get 25 crystal and if you like to buy a new starter deck it's only a 100 crystal. If you like the first deck you selected at the start of the game you can do as I and others have done and buy a starter, sell the cards and buy individual cards to help make your deck stronger.

Sili- If you are using a desktop and you remember the surveys you can put a request in letting them know you didn't get your crystal. They will respond back USUALLY within 24hrs and you should receive your crystal.

This needs to be bumped: It's a great game. Started playing a few games, seemed good. A quick visit to the forums and 5 dollars later, I had a top tier deck ready to rumble. (How many TCG's can you say THAT about?) As advised earlier, you can buy the Elemental deck and sell the cards for 1800-ish gold: So in practice, even rares only cost you 3 for a dollar or so. I bought a 10k gold deck for 5 bucks, so yeah. Enjoying it so far. Definitely worth trying out, and you can be competitive immediately for just a few dollars. Usually I don't spend money on these types of games, but this one is of a really high quality for a microtransaction game. It's no Magic the Gathering, but it's very good. (And orders of magnitude cheaper!)

New expansion has finally been spoiled for those of you that got bored of the game(like me), and want to come back.

They have a new expansion hitting the test server next week, and the live server soon.

Also meltdown is now an option in quick match, so you can now play 4 pack sealed deck vs an opponent for gold, and there is a tournament every week, most meltdown points at end of week earn the jackpot.

This is still by far my favorite mobile app, and play on my Ipad once in awhile,(I played in the america regional qualifier, and now I'm playing in some sealed tournament)
