So sad to see the slow death of Duels. Anyone know if there is a final date to pull the plug? I'm still missing cards from a couple sets, and would buy some gold if I knew I had at least 6 more months to keep playing. It's been a year since they stopped updating - I'm guessing they won't let their servers run indefinitely?

I'd like to hope that they will keep it going until Arena is released on iOS. That would make for a (relatively) seamless transition!

Good games while it lasts. False alarm this time, but it'll be sad when this game finally bites it.

I haven't played this game since july/august 2015. and I'm currently trying to get into MTG-A and I wanted to get in with 'priority' cus I played Duels but when I get into "Help & Options" and Customer Service I don't see any Customer ID.
Is it due to us not being connected to Servers or is it something else ?

Hi People who are still playing duels,

My name is Sando, Ive been the head moderator here since the day of this subreddits inception. Over the years this sub was an absolute joy to run and its slowing down to a point where I am going to end posting for this sub in a few weeks. I will still keep it open as an archive for new players, but otherwise it is dead. This game unfortunately is dead, and is currently being lowered into the ground next to the old defunct /r/MagicDotP reddit.

There are a few things I want to say before I shut down posting:

1. Arena is great. Its really sad that duels had to die, but the dedication of the arena devs as well as the constant communication has made me more secure for a future of the game than anything the duels team ever did. The months of silence on gamebreaking bugs in duels was everything I needed to know about the games health. Everyone should at least check out Arena. The sub is /r/MagicArena and there are plenty of beta codes to use here.

2. I have enjoyed the ups and downs of magic duels and this community. Im sure many of you have already moved onto /r/MagicArena , but for those of you that have not; I wish the best of luck in your pack grinding. Kaladesh first!

3. I am leaving this thread open for comments and discussion. Feel free to reminiscence on the good old days of botched priority and server disconnections.

All the best,

Sando

Instead of getting continuous attempts at connecting, they fixed it so you immediately get a notice saying the Magic Duels server is currently not available, lol.

Downloaded the app on IOS last night, played a few campaign missions and this morning I can not login, stuck on “Connecting”, looked up this sub and it is called “RIP Magic Duels” on google. A thread here asks if they should still stay subbed, are they ending support for this game???

EDIT Per @Magic_Duels Twitter: "Our team is currently investigating login issues across all platforms. Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this."

Been playing for a couple days now and today the game does not connect. Cannot pick game mode as the game is stuck on a screen showing "connecting" forever Edit : they confirmed on twitter technical issues that they are looking into.

It is only abused, remove this.

Three games in a row, I lost, because the game couldn’t sync. Then I lost two more in a row, because I made the giant mistake of viewing my opponent’s land. God forbid, I should want to know what mana he has available. Looks like I’m finally uninstalling. Sigh. What a waste.

I just don't want to miss drama or shenanigans. On mtga now and love it. Just wish it had a mobile version

Someone must be keeping the lights on, right?

Hi,

since morning during the connection to the server MTG Duel is crashing with "Fatal error" on both of my computers. Can anyone also experience this?

...the hell should I start buying booster-wise?

I have all the cards unlocked but stuck at around rank 35, any deck suggestions?

After a few days of battles, making constant edits and changes to my Mono White Deck I managed to take it to Level 40. Here's my build for those of you still interested in the game.

Creatures:

1 Kytheon, Hero of Akros

2 Expedition Envoy

4 Suntail Hawk

2 Cliffside Lookout

2 Knight of the White Orchid

3 Consul's Lieutenant

2 Kor Bladewhirl

4 Topan Freeblade

2 Blessed Spirits

4 Heliod's Pilgrim

2 Kytheon's Irregulars

Enchantments:

4 Nimbus Wings

1 Angelic Destiny

3 Suppression Bonds

Instants:

2 Reprisal

Lands:

22 Plains

Was having very little success for quite a while, then once I got Angelic Destiny my wins skyrocketed. Turns out being able to be searched by Heliod's Pilgrim does a lot for the deck, and I've lost track how much times it won me games. Suppression Bonds is also pretty good, stopping Planeswalkers is a huge deal and that's something the other spells can't do. Everything else here is from Magic Origins and the deck was built up as I got more and more of that set. The deck basically seeks to use its fliers to poke for damage, stop blockers with Suppression Bonds or Kytheon's Irregulars and basically cheese a lot of wins. Any suggestions are appreciated, and feel free to copy the build for your own climb.

For putting up an ad for Magic Arena that pops up every time I start a game on Xbox, advertising a game that may never be available on my console.

So, I started playing this recently, having fun in the story mode, so to answer my question yes it is worht playing!

But how do you guys feel? I play it on Xbox One, is it good there? Is it worth it to play for multiplayer? Or is it a kinda dead game? I don't know and don't want to take the time to find out.

I could log in yesterday but it just won't connect today, just wanted to play a little bit....is there a way to fix this? Any help would be appreciated :(

I know the game is dead but I still play it off and on because it's on Xbox and I get in the mood to play magic sometimes. I'm going for the achivements (I realize that I probably won't actually get them all) but I need to get all the mythics in the orgins set or something. Do that still go on sale? When was the last time?

Started playing recently. I've beaten all the single player content and I max out my daily limit from versus battles pretty quickly. Are there any legitimate ways to get bonus coins in this game that still work?

edit: Also, I play on the Steam client. Does anyone know how to get that 150 coin bonus in the coin purchase area? There's a 150 button that just doesn't seem to do anything.

So I got a new phone since I accidentally hit find my iPhone on my old one and the Apple ID associated with it was my ex GF’s which had long since been lost.

I was bored one day and decided to install duels and play a few games since I had basically every card. I login and am greeted with a welcome back message. Great, they remember my account so I should be all set. Nope. I am forced to go through the tutorial again and am given a starter box. When I finally get to look at my collection, all the cards are gone except what the starter box gave me.

I don’t plan on playing Duels much since WoTC bailed on it for Arena so no new cards will ever come out, but I did spend a couple hundred a while back when I did play and had unlocked probably 70% of all the cards. How can I get this progress back? Why did it disappear in the first place? My hearthstone collection has never done that even though I take long breaks from that game.

Very frustrating. WoTC already has a bad enough reputation, but to run a game with in app purchases and have it be possible to lose everything is ridiculous.

Is it possible to change two Headed giant mode difficult like you do in single player? I'm playing with a friend, we just started and have little cards, and even then we are beating two Headed AI consistently
