Hi,

I finally installed MWS, and I must say I really enjoy it. its been great fun so far, playing with decks I never played with ( 5 color control in T2 is fun) and I put my own deck there to test.

Questions:

I play oath, is there a way to oath quicker? dragging the top card takes ages.

Once Blessing is triggered, is there a way to shuffle library back with your graveyard? My opponent said no, so that took ages as well.

To find a game,

"Game -> Connect to opponent ->

Do I change anything here?

also here:

I just want to make sure I am not wasting time doing stuff the hard way, or looking for bad games or something. So far I havent really played a serious T1 deck, most of them are random crap, same goes for extended. 
Any tips on how to find better games?

thanks

Try removing Blessing from the Graveyard, then Action->Put Graveyard on top of Library.

Also, no, there's no way to Oath faster.

Wouldn't Blessing go back in the library?

I am also wondering a similar thing.  I would like to know of the best time/place/way to play on MWS with people who play real Type 1 or if there is a best way to find people.
Thanks!

There are plenty of TMD players who frequent MWS, although not all the time because we have lives. But many of us are on there and many of us use our TMD handles.

But not always.

I have been having a blast on mws, another reason to not leave my house.

Any ways; the only thing I cant get to work is the sideboard, what is the code or words I have to use in .txt files so that MWS can read it?

So far I just put my deck list in a text, load it with mws and its fine, however sideboard doesn't work. Files I download from deckcheck do work, but they are different from txt files which is obvious.

thanks.

edit:

It works now. Sometimes I am just too blind

The update isn't uploaded yet, But the easiest way to do it is Tools -> Check MWS site for Updates.

If you run into "Zeus-online" its most likely one of my friends..I rarely play on mws for several reasons:

I dislike the shuffler, somehow it always mana screws me, eventhough the same deck with the same mana base works quite well rl.

Explaining rules to people via. the chat really sucks, and alot of mws'ers don't quite know how the cards work *sigh*

There are rarely any good opponents...

There's alot of whiners on mws, bah! Smile

I often play like a donkey when doing it online, don't quite know why... Maybe it's just my psychic abilities that aren't quite working over the 'net! Wink

That said, it's a usefull engine for testing, and it's quite enjoyable to play against your friends over mws!

I'm on MWS quite a bit, as either WJ chippington, or player

I use player every now and then to prove to people, that the name doesn't entitle sucking.

I'm on MWS a lot myself, as KingAlanI
Playing an assortment of decks and formats

@ chrissss:
Glad you got that working.
Anyway, I use a normal text editor (Notepad++) to make my decks, but I save the file with a .mwDeck extension

Here's an example of a properly-formatted sideboard, for those interest [This is my Manaless Ichorid SB at the moment]

// Sideboard
SB: 4  Leyline of the Void
SB: 1  Sadistic Hypnotist
SB: 2  Darkblast
SB: 4  Chain of Vapor
SB: 4  Unmask

Proper *content* for an Ichorid sideboard? Maybe not, lol. Smile
