    Any chance on adding the R/UR abilities back on the boards to be draftable since we need them now?

      Thank you for the clarification. It must really be that weaker decked players stopped playing and the other players are getting better then.

        Quite the anomaly that his 5 best cards after PG13 are regular star pros and regular legend pros. The fact that there are no event cards lead me to believe that he doesn't grind... yet BTC arguably requires the most amount of grinding to get any reasonable chance of drafting a star BTC card...

          You don't need a reasonable chance to win the lottery. He probably just got really lucky on one of the lower chances. It's going to happen.

            Not saying it's impossible. Just baffling. Chances are incredibly low at basic. And will requires at least 4 hours of 1st place finishes.

            If it was super, then it would take at least 24 hours of 1st place finishes. And as stated, his card collection doesn't seem like the grinding type.

              I meant for the individual games in 1st round is it mean to be 1 point for every player or do some players get 6 point games in the first rounds.

              I ask as the top 3 in my game last night all scored in excess of 30 plus points for round 1 games where everyone below them scored what i expected between 5-7 points.
              I am new here please be nice

                Everyone during the first round should be +1 VP for all opponents from my experience. Weird that someone can score more than 8 in the first round.

                  Why kick people for being inactive when you designed the game to make it where that is one of the best strategies?

                    Everyone only gets 1 point in the first round so maybe you're mixing it up with the 2-5 rounds or you're talking about the points they get after the victories are calculate? 60+wins/48+wins/37+wins/28+wins?

                    They don't want people joining and not playing just to get 10 BRP also unless you can play 7 games to win round 1 that strategy doesn't work from people that tried it against me

                      I'm interested in the strategies people employ to win. So far going balls out and winning as many rounds as I can works best for me.

                        I try to score as much as I can every round, really winning the 1st round is the biggest key cause it sets you up to win rounds 3 and 5 also

                          Re: Blacktop Challenge

                          I've been winning while only using 2 or 4 energies tops.

                          If you're interested in this, you need at least 12 star pros.

                          After the first win, don't energize. If you don't like your lineup intentionally lose against the whatever you think the strongest deck is and scout their deck.

                          Sometimes I've lost as many as 3 times to reset some of my Leg pros into star pros.

                          No matter what happens after round 2, don't energize! if you lost a few those cards will have higher energy. And that, should allow you to beat up on #2 or #3 for points.

                          Round 4 I try to win with 0 energy used. By now I know which deck I can beat and if it's truly impossible I'll use 3 energies on my best 3 cards.

                          Going into the final round if it's close I might energy but actually if you finished #1 in round 4, #3 or #4 should still offer you the same points yet vary heavily in their strength.

                          I've been winning very close ones, by less than 15 points, some I don't energize at all if my deck is clearly better and I have all star pros.

                            Thanks for the breakdown. When you say lose on purpose to exchange your low cards that round, what place do you try to come in that round?

                              In order to implement that strategy nug, you must actually have low cards.

                                When I say low cards, I mean regular stars for my ASG/HOF ect.

                                but ALSO, because when you swap a card from losing or not finishing first, it comes with full energy. And since round 1 is just +6 or +7 or +7 points off of 1point victories, it doesn't make much sense to use an energy card on that.

                                So just keep in mind since cards come fully energized (adjusted to your % cap) it's very possible to finish first while using a few energy cards. This strategy maybe isn't the best if you have an entire deck of stars prod and live for it.
