Having beat the first guy with relative ease, Chandra took me no less than 35 TRIES, and now I'm back to being stuck on Garruk!! Seems the AI has the exact card that will save them every single time they need it, and are really annoyingly overpowered, considering the cards the game lets you choose from to build your deck!!

How you guys finding it so far??

Don't have the game yet, so I can't say how hard I'd find them.

But I wanted to ask how much experience you have with MTG?

Yeah I agree. Sometimes playing through the campaign it seemed like the AI got a little too lucky but it was never overly ridiculous. Sealed play takes this to the extreme at times and makes the whole thing pretty frustrating.

Now I'm not a huge MTG player or anything, but i have played both the other video games and the card game before.

I'm no hardcore fan, but i've been playing pretty regularly for about 3 months or so, I think I understand the game pretty well! My girlfriend has sunk a LOT of money into getting some cards for her Boros deck, but I'd made a pretty strong Golgari deck from her leftovers haha! I think even outside of general skill level, it feels like the Sealed Play opponents are coded in such a way where they will ALWAYS have the exact card to beat whatever move you're going for.

Obviously in real life you 'know' some degree that you're not being cheated, but in the game it very often feels one-sided. I'm still loving it for the most part, but I'm having to build a new deck every time I advance an opponent because it doesn't feel like the game favors strategy over sheer power.

I haven't picked it up yet, mainly because I was curious how the sealed play felt in it. I'm going to grab it, but I'm debating on whether I should wait until the Steam Summer Sale and see if it goes on sale during that.

I just finished the 4th match in the sealed campaign and have had little trouble so far. Maybe you just got bad boosters?

Hmmm, yesterday I played 83% of the way through my first sealed deck to get all the pack unlocks without any major difficulties and this morning I did the same thing with my second sealed deck. Yeah, I had some rough matches here and there but by and large it didn't seem any more difficult than the regular campaign.

I suppose it depends on the cards you end up with. I don't know how much draft/sealed you play but card valuation can be significantly different from constructed.

The only piece of advice I can give is to follow the BREAD rule and pack your deck with the flying creatures and removal, which saw me through the campaign without too much trouble. Don't be afraid to go three colours as it was the only way to get enough playable cards in the deck for me, as long as you mulligan smartly you should have too many issues.

Great stuff guys thankyou very much!! By all accounts I'm still a Magic noob (n00b? Feels like forever since I've seen that anywhere!), so I'll take things slower and build another deck from scratch! :D
