It's bad when I get excited about something new in my spam folder.

Guh, I should have downloaded the client before I left, my Internet connection in Mexico (on vacation) isn't the best, this is going to take a while.

Not yet. On the flip side, I seem to be getting more stuff done than usual...

I think it would be fun if you could set up custom tournaments and have a bunch of people together facing each other with Tablets in hand. I don't play nearly as much as I should be but once its available for iPad my playtime will increase drastically.

Edit: Looks like only a few people left that are active in this forum that don't have a key, I have one more account that I can get a key on plus my brother is giving me his key when he gets one. Any keys I get I will give away here.

I fully expect that to happen at some point in the future.

Just in my few hours of playing it, it seems really RNG based. I have no idea about the deck shuffling, but it seems like a really odd mix (as you get a large number of low cost cards in the beginning to assist you and usually getting the higher cost card later).

I know I won a couple of games which were "pray I draw a good card now" types too.

Yeah I got my key email now, I forgot my co-worker and I said we'd give each other an extra key if we got it, so I'm checking with him, if not then I'll give the key to someone here. Not sure how I should give it though to make it fair. Maybe I'll make a post and people that have already posted in this thread can thank the post and I'll pick one at random?

This is not always the case. I think you've just been getting luck of the draw. The first few intro battles that teach you how to play might do it deliberately. Even if you do get all high cards at first, though, the ability to discard as many as you like from your starting hand gives you pretty high chances of starting with some low cards.

So I was going to be all pithy and post an image of someone begging. I typed "shameless begging" into a Google image search and got probably the least relevant hits in internet history. So I'll post this, since it was the best page 1 result:

I am still waiting on my code and hopefully I will get it soon. Everyone I know that wanted in has gotten one already.

Dunno, I certainly do get some 7+ cards in the beginning, but it seems like I get a more solid distribution of lower end cards. At least that is my perception.

Anyone have any tips or suggestions overall? I've been running mostly Mage / Rogue decks. What do other people seem to favor? Any OP classes now?

Are you making your own decks?

I imagine the starter decks are balanced with a mana curve that has more lower 2-4 casting cost cards so that you aren't stuck with a bunch of expensive cards all the time.
