Newbie seeking a mentor!

[Raphael Majere]

Hi SE community,

I'm a total rookie when it comes to these kind of games, any previous experience I have is playing MTG on the PS3 with pre-made decks. None the less, I find them extremely enjoyable and I'm very passionate and willing to learn more. I do find the game, quite confusing. I feel like there's so much information it's overwhelming. I fell in love with SE because it's (I think) the only decent card rpg that plays well on a smartphone.

I've only been playing for a couple of days, and I've taken the liberty of having myself start off with a decent card rack so I've done the Raph's 19,99$ guide. I made a Boris deck equal to what Raph had stated. Don't get me wrong, it's a great deck, and user-friendly. None the less, I find myself facing some decks in 1vs1 where I just get completely owned. I totally get I'm a noob and I don't expect to win every game, but sometimes I just really think I'm doing something wrong lol. Today I played 2 games vs a hunter deck where his hunter was pretty much untouchable the entire game, attacked my hero twice every round, and killed any ally I placed throughout the entire game. I was so impressed with how this guy completely stomped me, I really wanted to come on here and reach out for some help. I'm sure there are a lot of threads on here which are very helpful, but I find most of them incredibly confusing because I'm simply not familiar with any therminology of the game, and just because I'm a brand new player.

I'm just basically looking for a friendly veteran with a vast knowledge of the cards and game, who could give me some step-by-step guidance on decks, cards, strategies and general thought process during the game. I promise you, any effort spent on me will not be wasted. I'm a friendly guy, fast learner and really passionate about this game, I won't leech off you and disappear. I am very grateful for any help received and will make sure I make my mentor proud!

I'm most familiar with Facebook or WhatsApp, but I can pretty much download/use anything you may desire for us to chat and for me to ask questions when needed.

Whoever will step up to help me out, I greatly appreciate it.

Respectfully,

Bax

What I did (and still am doing) was read a bunch of articles, strategy guides and deck list discussions to learn the basics. There is an amazing list of links stickied to this sub-forum (including a SE dictionary!) in case you hadn't seen that yet.

All of this plus an excellent community that will give you good advice even if you are not a member of a guild.

Welcome to SE!! most veterans are friendly and ready to help. Im a BP, and there we have a section specifically dedicated to your opening post.
And as you can tell, we are very friendly to new players (just count how many BP's replied to this thread).

So while I urge you to join, I also would understand if you wanna just go solo. In which case feel free to PM me.. ill give you my whatsapp or whatever and we can set up games and ill comment on your in game strategies and help you build a deck. Feel free to do so irrespective of whether you already got someone to help... we can always play for fun!!

Now is a great time to join SE, since no one is a newbie.. and everyone is still building new strategies around shattered fates cards
