Simic Clones :-(
So the decks I have unlocked are: Firewave, Avacyn's Glory, Hunter's Strength, Chant of the Mul Daya, Enter the Dracomancer and Sliver Hive. I cannot beat this duel, anyone offer any advice? Someone mentioned that the Mind Maze deck works but I haven't unlocked it yet.

It's been a while since I played that encounter, but I recall that Firewave :red: & Avacyn's Glory :white: should be able to get the job done.

The key strategy is to know that as an encounter, Simic Clones always plays out the same: aiming for its alternate win condition with the Bio-Visionary creature. Therefore, you need to shut down its combo fast, namely before it can start to clone & enchant which creates more copies of the creature. :tap:

Firewave can burn & board wipe if necessary, while Avancyn's Glory can exile the key creature(s) & hopefully maintain the pressure through combat for the win. :B1:

The other decks you mention don't seem fast enough IMO to race ahead of Simic Clones before it locks the game down. :tshock:

I beat it with Avacyn after a few attempts. He will always summon 1 Bio-V, Clone it, cast Followed Footsteps on it and then clone again on the following turn, winning the game if you didn't stop him.

The most efficient counter is to save your removal (ideally Oblivion Ring) for after he enchants his Bio-V with Followed Footsteps - if you remove the enchanted BV he'll have two less BVs on the following turn, giving you extra time to win. By then your human army should be strong enough to counter him quickly.

Hunter's Strength works. Keep using the Prey Upon and Hunt the Weak cards. I beat it on my first try, but I also got really lucky with my draws.

These are all good ideas. but better idea is to go into the original planeswalker menu (symbol button on bottom of every plane) and beat Jace first this will unlock Mind Maze. This deck has more ways to beat this deck a couple of well timed unsummons and a couple of creatures and it'ds game over for those clones.

Been trying with this deck for hours and hours, still can't beat it. I officially hate this game now.

The nastiest thing about this deck is the intelligent use of the clone cards. I used "Up To Mischief" and "Avacyn's Glory" against this deck and he kept cloning my best cards and using their abilities to steal or exile my cards!

I don't remember what I used to beat this deck on my first play-through (I probably got a lucky draw with "Up To Mischief") but on the second play-through I totally owned with Jace's deck. Although, beating Jace was a bit of a challenge on its own.

Yeh "Mind Maze" Jace deck is best for this.
