I’ve played for a few years now and with all the changing rules and new card sets I’ve struggled feeling like I could enjoy the game when I cannot even figure out what my opponent is doing that is killing me off so fast.

First suggestion: Play on hand games with those you’d consider masters of the game. First hand knowledge and advice can help you match the cards and the bonuses together if you just do see the connections on your own.

Second suggestion: Duel of the Planewalkers really helped me see how things work together, even if I didn’t know about connections the game did, so when I played certain ways or focused on a strategy I found I was better at winning and was able to learn those techniques.

Third suggestion: Some people think in certain patterns, find out if your way of thinking or strategizing follows a certain kind of deck. This will help you master your game and you’ll be better enabled to win even when your opponent seems the stronger deck type.

Forth suggestion: Know if you have the weaker deck, don’t get upset if you loose. Many people think that their desks are best and that they know everything good and bad about them. There are tricks and catches to every desk made. To understand your own if first key, but to learn your opponents will take time. If they take you out quickly they simply knew your desk better than you knew their’s, you’re not a bad player simply because you lost. Cheer up and ask for a rematch with their deck sometime and see if you can learn it faster the next time around.

When playing solo I found it difficult to out think myself, even playing both sides typically one always felt like it dominated, so I tried this strategy.

Instead of thinking that I’m playing a solo game against an obstacle, I thought of playing the game against myself. Whenever I got stuck it became a tougher challenge to win the game and thus made it more exciting for me; even if I lost in the end.

Since you always know what you are thinking and each move you know what is the next step in the plan, try and think “how can I mess that up” when it comes to the game play. This helps keep the excitement and the strategy thinking for this game challenging and exciting every time you play.
