Pro Mode Coin Bet

Post by Savagetofu »

Recently started doing this mode. Since I only been playing quick mode before pro mode hurts my head.

My problem is after attempting to win 5 matches in pro mode coin bet it seems everytime my opponent gets to draft his picks second. This seems really unfair.

So this is what happens. Initial 2 cards are revealed. Then I pick. My opponent gets to see my next 2 picks. Then he or she picks. Then I pick. Then again my opponent sees my pick. Then he picks 2 cards again. So my opponent being able to see my picks twice puts me at a huge disadvantage. Have I just been unlucky or is this how it works?

I don't understand how my opponent consistently pick second and I have yet to pick second. I have run about 20 pro matches and they all seem to work this way.

Shouldn't it be logical that 50% I would pick second in pro match? Obv all of my opponents are.

I suggest that if my opponent sees my 3rd and 4th pick first that I see their 5th and 6th pick first. Viceaversa

Your opponent NEVER gets to see your third and fourth card before picking his 3 and 4. He is same as you. He sees your first two then picks his three and four. Then he sees your third and fourth and picks his fifth and sixth. You each have 99 seconds so likely you are picking your next set of cards quickly while your opponent is taking his sweet time to come up with the best two counter cards to your original two. The only advantage he has is he's not rushing and he's thinking things out. Other than that he is not getting the advantage you say he is as he doesn't see those cards until after he picks not before.

Right.

Your cards are down on your screen, not his. They are both revealed at the same time to each of you! Dont worry

Your right!

I figured it out later. I am a bone head.

I was making my selections quicker then my opponents. So when I would get done I would see "opponent making card selection" and I thought how does he get to pick second?

Plus pro mode is a different format... Quick mode is really about deck synergy. Where as with Pro mode you cannot get away with playing certain strategies so easily...
