Ok daniel, from my understanding you were a grandmaster fighting a novice. This tells me you had a massive health advantage, better power pip percentage, bigger deck and stronger trained spells than your opponent, also you have access to critical percentage gear which the novice does not. What you are asking KI is to take away the only spells in treasure form that the novice has a chance to win with, basically turning then into a sitting duck, am I on point? This is a equivilant of a 15 year old getting beat at a video game by their 5 year old brother then asking mom to take his controller away so he can't lose anymore. My advice to you: focus on the game, not the controller. You have more versions of the same strong spells so how exactly is it unfair? Learn from your defeats and apply your mistakes to future battles, you should adopt a more defensive strategy when fighting lower level opponents and remember once they've used the treasure card it's gone for the battle. You have the option of reusing your powerful attacks with reshuffle.

They should just ban talos treasure cards or treasure cards with crowns but not simple ones like that i use treasure fire cards in pvp cause i craft them so id agree with you.

No offense but, !
But i agree with you though, that noobs from starting level to twenty can't use master or legendary cards. Just saying.

P.S: Good idea, eh?

Your complaining that your got beat by a treasure using novice. Well i think that the novice (even though he won) has WAAAAAAAAAAY more right to complain then you!
It is way more unfair for them that they got paired with someone 12x their level
they dont take pets or treasures away to make up for unfair parings like that. if you were a level 5 doing pvp and you got paired with a legendary and couldnt use treasures or pets I bet you wouldn't think it was fair one bit.

oh gosh stop complaining and look how you are playing the PvP. and just because you lost the title it means you need to plan better.

He beat you because he had a strategy worked out you didn't break in a few rounds before he cast a treasure card dragon.

you need to sit down and work up several PvP decks and make on all purpose deck as well.
then figure out a few strategies to use and
forget about titles and just have fun playing the game or PvP

No, it's great! Gives the rest of something to admire and emulate :)

I wonder if the OP was in pvp with my wee wizarding son? He's probably got a dragon or two in his deck, gifted by his momma-Pyromancer, who coincidentally, loves to shield in PvP. Hmm...

Now I gotta laugh at this it is honestly funny.

1) Treasure cards are not the problem its your strategy

2) They make the game interesting and suspenseful *what KI intended

3) How did you let a person get a pip advantage over you? I mean at that low of lvl you do not get power pips often and your a legendary there is obviously a problem there.

I kinda have to say I support to lower lvl guy here shows he has strategy and obviously may very well know how to pvp if he beat you.

Anyways thats my take on this story.

sorry ya lost but remember pvp is optional and also a novice can be easily killed by using a high attack out of your school and around any shields on him self

also can ya tell me his level so i can better understand is power and what type of clothes did he wear

Sure, and next time when you go up with another legendary, say Ice, whose health is over 4,000 and he/she has a way better dueling strategy than you, and he/she put up all of those absorbs and tower shields, you'll wish you brought some treasure cards with you too. I'm not a low level (I'm a Ice Master), and I'm not supporting for the low levels. The point is that even if the low level tried to use a high level spell on you, you should get suspicious when he stops using all those 1-pip spells (firecat, thunder snake, etc) and starts to pass. It's likely he's not waiting for death but more likely waiting for a strong spell buildup.

I have to agree, sideboards need to be removed form PvP, minions too. I can't count the times i've seen a person use a summon to turn a 1v1 duel into a 1v2, and hide behind a wall of -55% tower shield treasure cards.

I do agree with that. I saw a lot of low levels summon high leveled minions like Talos, but you have the ability to get treasure cards too. So if a low level summons a high level minion and hides behind some absorb and tower shields, I'll just go and buy a kraken and a earthquake. After the Kraken pwns the minion, I use earthquake or shatter to crack open the low level's shields making him a sitting duck.

I laughed. A Legendary can't be defeated by a Novice, it just doesn't happen. Think about it, a Novice with about 500 health and you with close to 3,000. What you didn't critical? Even with a -70 shield, a -80 shield, a -85 shield, and even a -50 shield any spell could of killed him/her with some blades, traps, and critical! You need to work on your strategy.

Yeah, a Legendary being defeated by a low level that barely just started playing the game? One tweak you need to make in your strategy is to watch what the opponent is trying to do. He's a low level, Novice, right? So right away you need to be suspicious when he stops casting rank 1 spells on you (Fire Cat, Thunder Snake, Imp, etc) and passes round after round. It will be very likely the low level is not passing to accept his fate of defeat but more likely to save up pips for his Fire Dragon treasure card.

My Initiate fire (734 health) beat a legendary death from second position, I did not get hit with a critical though. What some fail to realize is how much skill plays a factor In pvp. He had waterworks gear but arena gear and pets level the playing field more than you think, health and critical are the only big separators and with a damage multiplying short deck one can set up a kill shot rather quickly vs a low skilled legend.

Wat? How in the world can a low level cast a Rank 8 spell? He can't gain power pips at that level and there are not enough pip slots for 8 pips required to cast the spell anyways. It's surely a lie.

if they have these high leveled pets like a Scarecrow or whatever an Inferno Beast is, they must also have a grand or legend and worked hard to get the latest pets. Yet you have the nerve to say they don't deserve those? Legendaries are so smug and overconfident these days. That's the problem with this issue! Never assume that you've won until your opponent is defeated.

WOW! Finally someone knows what makes my brain melt into lava. You, my fine friend, deserve 10 points

Technically, they worked hard to get their pets, too. To hatch or own a lvl 48 or 58 pet, you have to do the quests first. Once you get the pet, you can switch them around characters. That's probably the whole point of hatching and public banks.
