Speeding up Magic Origins

Follow these steps to improve game play speed and efficiency for all players in a game!

Help & Options > Settings > Gameplay > Copy these settings as denoted in the screenshot below

This gameplay set-up is near perfect for an advanced player. For example, by having 'Order Blockers Automatically" un-ticked, you can order blockers in any way you desire.

In other words, with this set-up, you as the magic player have almost total control over your game!

List of good Magic Origins Improvements!

1) Improve server syncing speed and connectivity issues in general, especially for multiplayer online gameplay. e.g When I get a syncing problem in versus mode, the timer stops counting down and the game freezes and I lose a point when I could have easily won the game..this is unacceptable.

2) Add a functional chat system (all chat and team chat) to online modes (Versus and 2-Headed Giant).

3) A good one, let players in 2 headed giant know who's pausing the game....

4) Let the magic player know if a bot is playing by changing the persona to a robot !

5*) Add a functional leaderboard system for 2-headed-giant or at least a level counter like versus mode!

6*) Add 3 player and 4 player free for all's please?

7**) Shorten turn timers for online game modes...Nothing is more depressing than waiting 5 minutes for your opponent to end 1 turn! Turn times should be 10 seconds for turn 1 and 1 minute for all other turns in my experienced opinion. This would also completely prevent AFK players. On the note of mischevious players, pausing the game should expire within 10 seconds with 1 pause allowed per player, per turn.

8) The ability to all vote to kick a mischevious and/or AFK player in 2-headed-giant!

9) Fix 2-headed-giant team invites so that teaming up with friends(2-4 friends) are effortless!

Hi Fancy Drummer. I remember playing vs you in versus. It was fun
In direct answer to your point, Newbies shouldn't be playing versus mode as they are new anyway.
I was directing my improvements mainly to online versus players where we get ranked based on level. Newbies should not be playing versus mode until they become somewhat good at the game, hence my 1 minute time limit for all turns outside of turn 1.

Most advanced players can make their turn under 1 minute. Finally, my 1 minute time limit does not include the combat phase where attackers and blockers are declared. I think the time frame in the combat phase is actually good as it is! So I guess you could say the overall turn time for a turn WITH combat is about 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds which is good.

I think 1 minuite game turn is not enough. For example in Hearthstone you have approximately 90 sec for a turn, and MTG is sometimes much more complicated then HS, much more thinking invilved, especially for newbies. So less then 2 minuite for a turn is way too short imo.

My screen is just black plz help

Yes Evalis. I was testing for the first person to realise this! Well done, you won ;-) You earn my respect as a skillful player

[Evalis]

SImplified targetting should really be off. There are plenty of situations where you might want to bomb your own creatures to prevent thefts or trigger death effects. There are also a few cases where you want to buff an enemy creature to knock it into, or out of, range of other card effects.

Just don't blow up your own guys for no reason :P

I have no other running programs. I have updated Windows, reinstalled Magic Duels, Set to Windowed mode, and updated my Graphics Driver. Now all I hear people saying is that I will just have to wait for WOTC to fix this problem.

Hi Hump. Yes I totally agree with you. That is why I wrote number 5 for a functional leaderboard so that good players can get rewarded by having their name show at the top of the leaderboards per game type. On your second point, 10 gold seems like the right number.
